I suspect it's more of a north-south thing than east-west. Of the six Fieros I've owned, five had rear window defoggers, all Canadian cars... whereas the one Fiero without a rear window defogger, was originally from Knoxville, Tennessee.



I only said that because here in Florida, if you don't have a rear-window defogger during certain times, you just can't even see out the window. On the West Coast, it's extremely dry... almost no precipitation, and very little humidity (like in California)... where as in Florida, there's 100% humidity nearly every day. But I guess it's different if we're talking about snow versus defog... haha...

In Florida, we used to get a lot of Canadian cars in the junkyard... I even found a Pontiac FireFly Turbo once. But I always grabbed the guages from the Canadian cars because they were in KP/H and looked more European / cooler... haha. I mean, at the time, I was in my early 20s, so that meant something.

Not everyone on the "West Coast" resides in southern California.

The manual transmission was standard. So, it doesn't have the optional automatic. But Dayum, that's a beautiful combination! Black, Gold, and Beachwood.



Ahhh you are absolutely right! In my mind, "options" are the things that are sought after in today's age, and it seems the 5spd is less common and more wanted. But thank you! Its a winner combo for sure!

Well, you got me as well...like 82 TA said, I feel again like lumbar is the less common and more sought after option, so the plain cloth is still a great "option" to me hahah

It doesn't have rear window defrost, which I was very surprised about. It could be where the car was originally purchased from. I'd imagine people on the West Coast would be less likely to have a rear window defrost. This option tends to come almost standard on other Fiero models.



As far as I know, it was purchased and has been in MN its entire life, which does seem odd to not have the defroster. But, hey, not wanted and not needed anyway

You know what would spruce up your engine? Polished aluminum oil filler cap cover from Fiero store. I just got one and it looks glorious!
Beautiful GT!!
