- The 1985 Pontiac Fiero has only been driven 941 miles, making it an exceptionally rare find.
- This pristine sports car features a 2.8-liter V6 engine paired to a four-speed manual gearbox.
- Inside, the Fiero’s simple, light grey interior remains in outstanding condition for its age.
Over the years, the Pontiac Fiero carved out a curious niche for itself, not for its sports car status, but as the preferred donor car for supercar replicas, largely thanks to its mid-engined layout. Somehow, though, a low-mileage example in Detroit has avoided the fate of becoming a wannabe Ferrari, and it’s now up for sale through Gateway Classic Cars of Detroit.
This particular Fiero is a 1985 model, and it has only seen 941 miles (1,514 km) on the clock. The seller doesn’t explain why it’s been driven so little, but the car’s condition suggests it has been well cared for, possibly making it one of the most immaculate Fieros in the States. The asking price is $25,000, which may sound high, but considering its exceptional condition, it doesn’t seem all that outrageous.

It’s painted in a bright shade of red that contrasts with silver grey elements on the bumpers, side skirts, and rocker panels. It continues to sit on the original silver wheels clad in Goodyear tires. While it’s always hard to judge the condition of a car through photos alone, the bodywork shows no obvious signs of damage and is free of any visible scratches or dents.
It’s not just the exterior that pristine, as the interior looks just about perfect, too. The seats, center console, door panels, and much of the dashboard are finished in a light shade of grey. By modern standards, it’s very simple, but it does have a radio.
At the heart of the Fiero is a 2.8-liter naturally aspirated V6. When new, this engine pushed out 140 horsepower and 170 lb-ft (230 Nm) of torque, mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. While this might not sound like the sort of power to get your pulse racing, the Fiero was never about raw speed, it’s more about quirky character and being a piece of automotive history.
While it’s easy to imagine that only the most dedicated Pontiac collectors would be willing to drop this kind of money on a 1985 Fiero, we can only hope it finds a good home. Cars like this deserve to be preserved for future generations.
