1986 Fiero Gt, 5.7L V8 330HP W/41,000 miles on V8, Getrag 5-spd, A/C, T-tops, Digital Dash, Custom Stereo/sub, Many extras, Owned since 1988.

General: Runs and drives great, drives anywhere for any distance, Have driven it to the Daytona (FL) car show were I received 1st place in the modified class. Also received an award for the best Re-engineered Fiero at the show. Always garaged. Code alarm system. A/C blows cold (converted to R-134A). Everything that can wear on a car has been rebuilt or replaced. Even the inside of the doors were rebuilt including windows motors so that the windows would move smooth and quick. I have spent a lot of time and money on this car for the past 19 years, and I hate to sell it, but I bought my dream car so it must go.

Engine: Starts/runs/idles, perfect, always used with mobil 1 syn oil, Zumalt engine swap kit, 4 bolt, 9.5:1 comp, steel crank, crane cam with intake .454" lift and 272 duration and exhaust .480" and 284 duration. Variable duration crane lifters (acts as variable timing). Roller tip rockers with 1.6:1 intake and 1.5:1 exhaust. Edlebrock aluminim intake, Holley 600 double pumper, K&N Air filter, High output fuel pump, high output Hei ignition coil with adjustable timing from dash. 1.94"/1.5" heads, exhaust manifolds from old corvette, true dual exhaust (aluminized) with flanges for easy removal of piping. Also allows a custom cat to be bolted in to pass emissions. Remote oil filter, tilton gear drive starter, Custom radiator, oil cooler with fan under rear side engine vent.

Trans: Getrag 5 speed with custom larger clutch, custom flywheel, hardned drive axles, always used with Mobil 1 syn oil, shifts perfect, all shift cables and linkage replaced.

Suspension/brakes: Large front/rear after market sway bars, 4 Koni adjustable shocks, Poly bushings in all control arms and sway bars, quick ratio rack-pinion, New wheel bearings, frame re-inforced with 1"x 2" box steel to improve handling and to deal with the Horse power. Stock brakes with braided SS brake lines. Wheels are factory, but have been completely re-machined, straightened, stripped, and powder coated/clear coated. Tires are Pirelli P6000's with 85% tread left, Front 195/60/15, Rear 225/60/15, VR speed rated. These tires are soft and meant to stick with a rating of 140 AA.

Digital dash: has all normal gauges plus engine oil temp, visable and audiable warning indicators, dims at night, blacks out when off but can be easily seen in daytime.

Stereo: Alpine head unit, alpine EQ, 2 amps, sub crossover, modified factory sub system, Alpine 5-1/4"component speakers in doors and alpine 4" components in dash. Custom Tinted plexiglass panel around stereo and A/C controls to match digital dash.

Interior: very good condition with Recovered leather/suede seats, new headliner, tinted windows, carpet near perfect, dash very good with no cracks, door panels very good. Grant Steering Wheel.

Body: Completely repainted several years ago at a cost of $2800.00, functional side scoops in front of each rear wheel, Custom round tail lights, All seals/trim in great shape including windows, T-tops, windshield. Paint is very good but does need the rear bumper re-painted as someone bumped me a few months ago and I have not had time to fix it. Serious buyers only!

Price: $13,500 OBO
Location: Pinellas Park, FL 33782
Seller: Tom Sweet (727) 548-1132

Thanks for the bump guys. I guess you can tell why I am selling my car from the picture. The funny thing is that the prancing horse in the background was just by chance.

Thanks for your comments, sorry I didn't come across you sooner. You are definatly not the only Fiero owner in the area as there is the suncoast Fiero club in the area that has quite a few members. Just do a search on the web to find out more about it.

Beautiful car !

I really hope you get what you are asking, cause it sure looks like it is worth it, but we all know it is difficult to recoup what we put into these great little cars.

Will have to be the right buyer at the right time. Best of luck.

BTW can we get some more shots of the replacement (the prancing horse) ?

I have seen this car when Tom would bring it to the club meetings, without question worth every penny he is asking for and more. The car looks like it rolled off the asembly line with all the work he put into it.
Wish you would have put this up for sale last year when I had the extra cash to purchase it, but such is life.

Please dont tell me you are getting out of the digital fiero gauges when you sell this car. I need to wait a bit more before I buy a set!

Timgray,
My digital gauges will still be available as I've been making them too long to quit now.

I am seriously trying to see if I can come up with the funds to purchase this, it would be funny to have that car parked next to your nephews old white 86 LOL. If the car is still for sale in 4 more months I might just dig up your old number and give you a call.
By the way Tom, you still go to the Sun Coast meetings? was wondering how the old club has been doing since I left FL many many moons ago.

Hows it going up there, it been awile.
I would hope that I would have it sold in 4 months, but you never know. As for the club, it is still doing well. We lost some old menbers, but we gained some new ones. I havn't been to many meetings lately as I have been too busy.
See ya,
Tom

Just don't know why you don't give the car to your wife as a daily driver.
Life has been going well for me as of late, I could complain but then who would listen?
I have been planning a trip for a visit for some time. just can not get the time off of work to make it happen, I would love to stop in one of the meetings to see how everyone is doing.

No doubt a beautiful car! I can definately appreciate what you have done with her. I would love to have a t-top fiero, but i bought a 99 trans am back in February, and my wife would disown me if i brought another car home. I am curious as to where you got the gt \ v-8 center caps for the wheels? I would like to get something similar for my 87gt that i recently transplanted a 4.9 into.

Thanks a lot ss85fiero! Your Car looks very nice also! As for my center caps I had then custom made by my Nephew, but maybe you can find someone that can do it for you.

The link isn't working for me. Could you give it another try?

BTW, that is one very nice '86. Selling a sports car in the fall/winter is difficult so good luck on it
