1988 Pontiac Fiero Description

Very rare... one of only 37 yellow T-top (CJB) Fiero Formula's made. Very good restoration project. Everything is original except the seats that are out of a 86 GT and are quite rare also being gray suede leather. Original paint and very little corrosion on the frame. All interior and exterior parts are part of the sale. Used headliner is included as well as a new windshield. All VIN stickers match. Another thing that makes this car quite rare in the AC delete. MANY parts included for the restoration project, some new. Call or text with any questions. Available for sale locally as well, so I reserve the right to end auction early. Ask for additional photos or about the other red or black 1988 GT's for sale. Just in case you did not know the history: The 1988 Fiero brought a new suspension design, thought by many to have a striking resemblance to those designed by Lotus, which at the time, was about to be acquired by General Motors. The suspension was never a Lotus design though; it was the suspension the Pontiac engineers had designed in the beginning, along with what they learned from the racing program. Up front were revised control arms and knuckles that reduced steering effort and improved the scrub radius. At the rear, the old a real tri-link suspension with all new knuckles was installed. This new suspension came with staggered wheel sizes on WS6 suspension equipped models, with 15 in (380 mm) by 6 in (150 mm) wide wheels up front and 15 in (380 mm) by 7 in (180 mm) wide wheels in the rear for improved handling balance and to offset the slightly increased front track that resulted from the improvements. Topping off the package were the new vented disc brakes at all four corners, which addressed braking complaints of road testers. A variable effort electro-hydraulic power steering unit, the same design later found on the GM EV1, was also to be a late addition. This option never made it to production – one reason cited is that models with the prototype power steering were noted as being too loud. The four-cylinder engine received an in-pan oil filter element and balance shaft. A "Formula" option was added, which offered many of the GT features with the standard coupe body, including the 120 mph (190 km/h) speedometer, WS6 Suspension (which includes offset crosslace wheels) and the rear spoiler. 1988 marked the end of production for the Fiero. Improvements to suspension, brakes, steering, and improvements to both the four-cylinder and V6 engines took the car to a level far beyond the 1984 model that had received much criticism. 1988 was also the only year a yellow exterior color was available as a factory option
