1988 Pontiac Fiero GT

August 15, 2008

Yes, the Fiero, inspired by that crazy man who brought us the orginal Goat, swindled the Irish into building a factory and was made famous by his weakness for young accomplices and coke: John Z Delorean.

The fiero was to be a commuter car and it was inspired by John Z’s Banshee Prototype, it evolved over its production run into a half decent sports car, and then the general killed it.  RIP Fiero 1984-1988.

This Fine example in our Halifax Used Car Showroom is untouched and almost factory fresh.  It is the GT with the upgraded 2.8 V6 engine, 5 speed Transmission, improved suspension, bodywork and Fatter rubber, 126,000 km, factory air and am/fm/cassette.

Come down and sample this one today at our Halifax Used Car Showroom
