I was just doing my daily Fiero hunt on Craigslist and found this "84 Fiero GT". I suspect this began life as an 84 and then was turned into a "GT" (the gauges are for a 4 cyl car).
One of the funnier bits is his touting of the low miles.....he mashed 2 or 3 cars together and expects people to trust the odometer reading on the non GT gauge

those are probably the stock gauges since it's an 85 GT.

yup, looks like 85 GT with replacement body panels.
Not sure why the owner is calling it an 84, but I guess he found the manufacturer's date and went by that? Who knows.... it isn't a stock fastback nor is it an '84.
You need the vin to check year. There was no 84 GT period. 85 GT did not have a fastback. Pretty sure that nose wasnt available till 86. Also no V6 till 85 that I know of. In this case 'basicly brand new' depends on when he put all the parts together. Its definately not a factory car...its put together from several cars. Rare? not, there are 10s of thousands running around...theres thousands right here in this forum.
no speakers in the sail panels..... this has a pre-86 interior, so I am going to say there was a body swap on an '85 GT (or SE... but probably GT, as the exhaust wouldn't have the trumpets on an SE).
The round molding nose was only used on the 86-88 GT. The ribbed molding nose was used on the Indy, 85 GT, and 86-87 SE. They appear the same, but they are different in the area of the side marker lights. The 85 SE was a bumperpad only. The 85-86 V-6 was the same upper plenum with decal. The 86-88 GT's had 120 mph speedos.
Did I miss any of the other misinformation on this thread?
The interior is pretty nice, I'd have that. Rest of the car looks like the bastard son of god knows how many other Fieros. Bet the a/c don't work though (look at 5th pic) LOL!
------------------ Anything I might say is probably worth what you paid for it, so treat it accordingly!
The base car for all this parts-swapping is definitely either a 1984 or 1985. In 1986 and up, they switched to the whole-gallon wiper wash bottle, rather than the half-gallon size here.
It was likely a 4 cylinder car to start. The 4 cylinder cars have gauge cluster indicator lamps have the orange logos printed on the lens, instead of having the colored transparent film with the logos on them (i.e. you can always see the logos on a 4 cyl gauge cluser, whereas the V6 ones have to be illuminated to see the icons).
My guess is the base car is a 1985 4 cylinder. 1984's would have had black switches for all the electronics inside, whereas this has the correct 1985+ grey.

I believe its a 1985 GT as the VIN suggests. I never trust the cluster, they could have replaced it. The carfax probably shows a mileage issue. Unfortunately, this Fiero is a victim of the owner not knowing what they have.
