A time capsule example of the Pontiac Fiero has emerged, with mileage low enough to raise eyebrows and the asking price well worth it. This 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT shows just 6,830 miles on the odometer and is presented as a carefully preserved survivor, not a restored car. As the final model year, the 1988 GT benefited from significant chassis revisions to address previous criticism, making it the most desirable iteration of Pontiac’s mid-engine experiment.
The exterior wears Medium Red Metallic paint that looks consistent with a life spent outside the harsh elements. The listing records Florida origins followed by nearly a decade of climate-controlled storage, and the end result reflects that history. The panels align as expected, and factory details like the D80’s rear spoiler remain intact. The overall impression is completely original, which is more attractive to collectors than a new respray.
Inside, the brown cloth cabin maintains its period-appropriate character. Wear appears minimal, consistent with mileage claims. The car retains its original UX1 AM/FM cassette stereo with equalizer, paired with a UQ6 premium sound system and subwoofer. Features from the 1SA package – air conditioning, power door locks, cruise control and power mirrors – remain, cementing the car’s unmodified status. Small touches like carpeted floor mats and intact trim contribute to a cohesive presentation.
Power comes from a 2.8L V6 L44 engine combined with a 5-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. Output figures were modest by modern standards, but a 1988 suspension update significantly improved handling precision and ride quality. The result is a car that feels calmer than previous Fieros, with better geometry and braking response.
Ownership history appears clear. The car spent its early life in Florida before entering long-term storage, and it includes a copy of the original window sticker listing the total price at $16,003. The combination of documentation and preservation makes this example a collector-class car, not your average used car.
The question remains clear: would you pay $27,900 for it? Buyers can evaluate that proposition at GR Car Gallery in Indianapolis, where this low-range Fiero now awaits its next caretaker.
