Title: Lol, 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT for $35,000!
Post by: Parker on April 03, 2010, 10:02:12 AM
Granted this ad is from 1/5/2009, but 35k for a barely used car that would be hard pressed in keeping up with 4 cylinder cars...low Mileage demo car or not.

Not exactly sure what year but probably around 77 or 78 or so.  My mom went looking for a car.  She wanted a Triumph TR6 (which was my favorite car).  We went to Larry Reed Motors (i have no idea how I remembered that).  We went in and inquired if they had any.  The salesman said no they were no longer in production.  My mom asked for a used one.  And they had none.  Then Larry Reed himself walked by.  He started talking to my mom.  Now she just got a brand new 280Z but wanted another car to drive around and a convertible.  Well after several minutes my mom came back and said we were going somewhere.  We jumped in Mr. Reed caddy and drove to Culver City.  In the car my mom said he had a few brand new TR6's he was saving.  Anyway, we get to this warehouse place and he slid open the door and there was 30 cars easy in there.  Anyway, we see the TR6's.  Long story short. He ended up selling my mom a green one with less than 10 miles on it for $10,000 even.  Now I know my mom paid $8300 for the Z car.  So she paid more for the TR6.  Mr. Reed convinced her to buy it as an investment and not a daily drive car.  Well we drove back to the dealership and went home.  My dad got our neighbor to help him the next day and they ended up towing the car to our cabin in Running Springs.  They were going to use it up there when they went.  Well another long story short, my dad or mom hardly drove it at all.  They always took my dads truck and drove that around or hung out at the cabin.  Well my died in 85.  After all medical insurance paid the bills my dad still ended up owing a tremendous amount of money.  So jhe ended up having to sell alot of stuff to pay the bills.  Including the cabin, my mom 450SLC which she had at that time and other shit.  My mom spent close to one year in the hospital.  Anyway, he ended up selling the TR6 for $25,000 (if I remember right) and it had less than 1000 miles on it.  He kept that thing immaculate.  It was basically a brand new TR6 in 1985.  Anyway, thought this story was kinmd of like this guy selling a new Fiero.

I loved that TR6.  I painted houses for awhile and made some great money.  Ipainted this old mans house and he had a TR6 fire engine red with a 289 in it.  This was the sweetest looking and sounding car.  I tried to paint his house and some cash for the car but he woulnd't budge.  My first car was a 1959 MGA.  I just like the British cars.  My good friend had an Austin Healey.  But the TR6 and Jag XKE were my favorites back then

Good to know, cause when I was 16 I tuned up my buddies Fiero and when we took it for a ride the motor started on fire about 2 blocks into the ride and it happened to just rained, so for some reason there was a bucket of rain water in front of a house and i used it to put the fire out.


He couldn't thank me enough, for saving his car from burning up ;D

I remember this dick in high school who thought his shit didn't stink drove to school after Christmas in a brand new orange Fiat X19.  Man all the chicks and some guys even were just all over this guy being all nice  so they can get a ride in it or whatever.,  But the guy who knew him and he played on our ball team knew he was a dick.  Some days later after practice someone flatten all his tires.  Oh well!

Just got an email from a dealership here in vegas I set my friend up with to sell his Ferrari.  They are asking $69,000.  It is a 1990 Testarossa with 6000 original miles on it.  My friend does not drive it.  He bought brand new.  If any of you high rolling Getbiggers want it I could probably save you about $8000 to $10,000 on it.  And yes I fit in it

8-10k is probably what it cost to do a oil change and timing belt change on it. Because it's a flat 12 (boxer engine) they have to drop the engine down out of the car... Also there are f355s with less miles going for that much...he wants too much for the car.

Probably due to it's mid engine confirguration. It didn't get enough cooling to the engine compartment. There are some aftermarket "snorkel" roof intakes that run from the top of the car back to the engine. Kinda like the McLaren F1 or like the single snorkel intake for the Fiero race car.

Yeah it did have cooling issues , the raditors were up front and the engine was in the rear always an issue , they did for shits & giggles put a intercooled turbo Grand National V6 in one and it was a fuck of a lot faster than the Vette for thousands less , needless to say GM wasn't going to produce those seeing the Vetter was their ' flagship '

I've seen at car shows conversions with Northstar V8s in them , pretty quick too

Fieros have their niche, but certainly aren't worth 35k. damn.  I'm currently in the market for a muscle car to restore.  I love some of the 80s cars(Monte SS's, Third-Gens, GNs, Cutlasses, Regals) but don't like the image they convey....trailor trash or a ghetto box with 24s on 'em.  Grand Nationals are too expensive, and I won't touch a Mustang. 

Some of the muscle cars out of the 60s and 70s are approaching six figures in price.  Almost any GTO, Challenger, Chevelle, 1st Gen Camaro, 70 and a half Camaros, SD Trans Ams, Mach 1s, Shelby, Buick GSXs, Boattail Rivieras, 442s, hell, just about ANY Mopar goes for huge amounts.  Diamonds in the rough are Plymouth Satellites made to look like Roadrunners, Pontiac LeMans, Dusters, Novas(post-71), 77-81 Firebirds and TAs, and really, any large mid 70s car.  A lot can be found in great condition.

I've been looking at a few Lincolns with the 460 in it.  Evil thoughts come to mind when I think of stacking a big ass blower on top of that mill.  I'm pretty sure there are so very few big 4 door 70s cars with superchargers sticking out the hood with a full luxury interior around.
