    For all you '80s Pontiac appreciators...

    I just made one of my favorite purchases ever (aside from my snakes): an '85 Pontiac Fiero GT, v6, auto, 138k original miles. Someone swapped the entire interior with an '86 GT, but other than that it's all original baby! Used to be red but the previous owner repainted it dark smoked grey; I kind of like it better that way, makes more of a "wait, what was THAT?!" than a "hey look at me!" statement.

    (ignore the "road grime", I plan to give it a good wash when the weather around here stops being so frigid!!)



    Even cooler: All the original manuals!

    Takes me back to the high school days - a friend of mine had a red one and he thought he was "da bomb" - lol

    Good luck with your new car.

    Reminds me of my early days in the Air Force, stationed in Abilene, Texas. One of my friends in the barracks owned an '85 Fiero and we used to cruise North 1st Street in that thing every Saturday night. Every time I hear a Motley Crue song I think about that car!

    Those are neat cars! My dad had one with I was in elementary school. Someday I hope to pick one up on my own (along with a 69 Charger!)

    Exactly what I was thinking...right after she performs a mandatory auto --> manual conversion...

    At least it sends the power to the correct wheels...

    The engine is mounted behind the driver. I could barely fit in one of those. I remember having to service one of those back in my wrenching days.

    A 305 fits in there tight but makes it a monster on the streets

    I had an 85 with a stick........sports cars shouldnt have a slush-box!! LOL
    I used the 305 because I had it from a 327 swap in a truck.
