The reason I am asking is because I have been doing some reading in the archives and found out that a blue 87 fiero is rare along with yellow fieros (cant remember the year).

I just happen to have had a blue fiero that is now silver. The reason I painted it was because the clear coat was messed up when I got the car. I got it from a junkyard and it was all burned from the top, the hood, the roof, the decklid, and the spoiler (wing). If I would of known that blue was a rare color for a fiero I would of just left it the way is. I don't know anything about painting but couldn't I just of sanded of the clear coat to the paint and add some clear? Or redone the hole car again in its stock blue color.

In the future when ever I save up some money I am going to try to get it repainted to its original blue color.

I have an 87 SE V6 2.8l with 5spd Getrag.
Here are some before and after (now) pics.

Before:





After (now):

If it was blue from the day it was made, it was a very rare Fiero indeed.

1987 was the only year that the metallic blue Fiero was produced. Only 4,458 were produced and that was 10 % of all the Fieros made in 1987. Ed

Never Lose Respect-So We Prevail

One of my 87GT's came blue metallic from the factory ( which was then later ruined by the OO/PO ). I have never seen a nother blue one in person.

I plan on repainting it back to stock blue eventually.

Id be interested to know how rare a gold GT is or did everbody just hate the color and respray as i dont see many on forums.

The gold paint had a real problem in the sunlight...the color faded !

Here is a shot of my 87 GT. I have had the deck and top repainted since this was
taken. The rest of the paint is original.

i have 2 blue 87 fieros. 4bangers

nitrous nut, Are they SE's?

I heard there were a few 86s that got out of the factory with that color blue. I don't know if it is true or not, but I have heard it.

Blue 87s are rare enough that I would probably put it back original one of these days if it were me... In the meantime, enjoy it. It looks good silver.

The gold 86 GTs did have a rough time keeping paint on them. What I hate even worse than that was that you had a gold car with silver aero effects. Just like my wife's jewelry, gold and silver do not go together well. The gold 86 SEs with black trim looked pretty good though in my opinion.

there were some blue 84's also. just a handful. there was a post a while back about somebody who found one.

You have to watch out were you park your Blue Fiero they multiply! one has 29K the other 74K Both are stock and in perfect condition.

You sure they are both stock? The one in the back looks chopped.

they multiply, the one in the back is a baby.

Dang, I want a blue one, but so far I haven't been able to think of a cool design idea that incorporates blue

My 87 GT is blue with 37,500 miles. Somewhat rare color, although yellow (1988) is more rare. I saw the car sitting in a sleezy car lot and pulled off the freeway immediately realizing you don't see them very often. Paid $800.00 and brought it home the next day. It's in the garage awaiting restoration behind an 86 GT and it most certainly will be blue again.

I wish I would of found this forum before I painted the car. Now I will try and save up some money to repaint it back to its original color.

Thanks for all the info.

I've never owned a blue Fiero... But I do have a blue spoiler out in the garage. Does that count me in the club?

Mine is an 87 Base Coupe...It is Blue all right!
Wanna sell that spoiler?

67K on th odo, 5-Speed and that mighty Duke!

its the light.

Yeah, I'm about to start putting a lot of my extra parts on eBay. I'll have to check the paint on the blue spoiler to see how good it is.

There was only 4,458 blue fieros made.. but there was only 2,474 V6 SE's, and only 1,401 SE's with the iron duke. The rarest fiero I think would be the 87 Blue SE's with the iron duke.

The Dukes made their way into most of the really low numbers of any given option... Like the 93 T-top coupes in 88...

Here is my Blue GT sitting in the Sun, from what I could track down I am 2nd owner and it was 1 of 1,500 made with all of the options I have.

how can you tell if its a se?

here is the vin #s 1g2pe11r9hp239847 & 1g2pe11r2hp243979

Those are both just regular coupe VINs. They start with 1G2PE.

SEs would start with 1G2PF.
1G2PF37R for the 4 cylinder.
1G2PF379 for the 6 cylinder.

Unless I am mistaken, all 86 SEs were also aero-bodies cars while the coupes still had bumper pads.

*Edit* - The last comment doesn't apply to your cars since they are 87s. But 87 SEs are aero cars as well, and the coupes have the Formula style nose.

I don't know that I would consider it unlucky... If the numbers listed above are correct, you have rare cars if they are actually factory blue..

4,458 blue fieros made..

2,474 V6 SEs
1,401 I4 SEs
--------------------
3,875 Total SEs

That leaves a total of 583 to be split between GTs and coupes.

I can't find my Spotter's guide right now to tell exact numers of each but that is very low numbers regardless.

Songman......the production numbers you listed for '87 SE's are for all SE's, not just blue ones (i.e. there were a total of 1401 4-cyl. SE's built, not 1401 blue 4-cyl. SE's).

Ahhhh.. I got you! I misread this post.

I need to find my Spotter's Guide.

As I mentioned above, the 88 coupe with T-tops was the rarest of the T-top cars so it wouldn't have surprised me to find the same with others, such as blue 87s.

2 blue coupes here. They do multiply. Selling one of them in 10 days so I'll be down to my Indy and my blue coupe that was stored in a garage for since 1993.

I had two, recently sold the coupe to JimmyS




GT w/ 1760 miles



The blue is a hard color to photograph, the metallic is hard to see in most shots.

You can always do it yourself.



It actually does look blue, in the light.

I saw a low mile blue 87 V6 5 speed SE for sale a couple of years ago. Wish I would have jumped on it.

If you go to ebay and type in item# 170083227087, it has a story about collecting fieros and what color Blue & Yellow, years and options to buy. A good article FYI.

I have a blue 87 GT too, but I think my Yellow 88 Formula is more rare.
Hey how do I post pics here?

Original blue Fiero's are a part of the less common crowd. There are quite a few that are painted blue and look great. I've learned that blue Fiero's are only worth more than any other Fiero if the paint is completely original and has been sheltered from the elements and any harm.
