My 1987 GT

Well this is what my '87 looked like when I purchased it last October. It came as you see here, I bought it from a guy that lived in an apartment. The management kept getting on his case abpout having a vehicle that didn't have current tags and inspection.
His loss was my gain, the Fiero only needed a few things to get it road worthy and pass inspection. Overall it doesn't look too bad, and I've been happy driving it around the city. This is my hobby car and currently not ment to be a daily driver. It couldn't be my daily car because I have to drop off and pick up the girls most of the time.

I think the exterior looks better than the interior and so the interior will get some attention in the next few weeks. Yeah, it has the usual Fiero interior amenities. It came with some fake wood trim stuff that I didn't care for, and the seats are the main thing that is in need of repair. I have a very small budget and will have fun being creative while doing some self customization. That will be the fun part, sorta like when I was a kid building model cars. I really like "European" car design. Ferrari, Astin Martin, Nobel M5, Porsche.

Got me a GT

Well I purchased this Silver 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT back in October of 2006. I'd been researching Fieros and Fiero related topics for about a year and a half before finally purchasing a car. I also went to a local Fiero entheusiast club here in the Dallas area, the North Texas Fiero Club (NTFC). I was a member with no Fiero for about 9 months, and finally got a running GT to drive to the club meetings. The guys are great, an assortment of individuals I normally wouldn't associate with, were it not for our common interest of Fieros.

The GT was not my first Fiero, that was the silver 1985 SE that I purchased in May 2006. I have since stripped the 85 of parts for the GT.
