If you look closely you can see an orange fiero stuck to that engine.
You mean the paint between the engine and the wheels?
Hahaha!
😂😂😂
OH CRAP YOUR RIGHT!
I just thought my eyes were playing tricks on me as I saw just motor with wheels!
I wonder if it will actually turn though 🤔
frfr
I love how the air inlet is so close to the sunroof. Imagine the sound from the interior with the sunroof popped!
Nice, sure would love to see it with the hatch closed
victoryredcolorado ikr
First of all, I'm kind of scared of that. Secondly, The color of the car is obviously electric butterscotch. And third, OMFG somebody actually finished a Fiero project!! :)
lol...Thanks for checking it out!
Lol
A fiero is never finished.
@@ScottieDTV 2at is the hp
GM really should bring them back. Fiero is one of those cars you either love or hate the concept.
Jonathan Dragon the car has a really interesting history if you look it up. They would've keept making them but it was outselling the Corvett it think it was so they stopped making them so they didn't have to stop making the Corvett cuz the Corvett is like their signature car. I don't know exactly how it goes but I think that's why they stopped making them
It was alot cheaper than a vette.I remember engine fires being a problem.I can see someone wanting a Firebird and getting a Fiero but a Corvette buyer,no.
People hate them but are starting to turn now
@@sk8er_boi166 No.
That would be cool but I guess they can't because there's no Pontiac anymore
This guy should be damn proud of his car.
I'm proud viewing it. ☺️ this guy built a pleasurable little ride the idle & the wheelie bars does this built justice. I don't even know what to call this: a Pro Street Car, a Hot Rod or a Road Warrior whatever it is...it is definitely unique. Man, this motor sounds sweet.
Darell Edwards !call it all 3 names.
That front end is horrible. It's stupid looking
RELAX...
I think Mike D needs a nap and his blankie.
It's an engine with a car stuck on the front!
Anything that you can imagine has been built and can be seen on the internet. God bless the internet.
Too bad there isn't video of the guy driving it. I wanna see it do a burnout or something.
I wonder how it drives.... is it FWD now?? (most likely not..) How could he manage any transmission now? haha
Daniel Keener Says he is using an Olds Toronado transmission. Toronados had a front longitudinal V8, but were FWD. The transmission was very odd, it was mounted on the left side of the engine, and was driven by a chain running from the torque converter that was mounted on the back of the engine. The driveshafts ran under the oil pan. Google it, it is interesting.
That engine and trans in the back of the Fiero would make it RWD.
@@danielkeener5140 It'll drive like shit. Utterly pointless conversion.
Probably drive like a pick-up truck with a ton of bricks on the back.
@@ngc-fo5te lol, Shit tons of horsepower in a panneled gocart basically, Theres a reason you dont see v8s in these and mr2s often, its way too much power for such a light and tiny vehicle. Sketchy for certian. Plus they suffer from a lil thing called snap over steer.. (Atleast the mr2 does, Correct me if im wrong about the fiero) But getting traction is a huge bitch lol, I plan on getting an mr2 and swapping it with a 4 cyl diesel engine, I wont be going over 350 whp, if i even wanna do that.. my first mr2 was unfortunately a rust bucket.. mk11
@ScottieDTV; Thank You much for recording and posting this most unusual Pontiac Fiero with its Supercharged V-8, with a large, tall, screwball blower.
Clearly this modified vehicle has custom paint and the body modification additions with wider wheel wells, front side and back skirts, hood with it slotted downward scoop vent, air dam, for additional downward force, slightly raised hood near the windshield, along with the front air splitter, modified enclosed dual headlights, in place of the pop-up single headlights, and additional lights in the front bumper.
There is not much mass and weight in the front trunk area, except the spare tire and chassis, thus the extra downward force is very helpful, and somewhat necessary with this vehicle having such a high power, high torque engine.
Wonder if the owner has any fuel tanks or other mass in the front too, along with flexible fuel. There did not seem to be any noticeable multiple fuel lines to the engine, that i could determine.
Am surprised that the owner claims the vehicle only is a low 10 second car. Especially with that roll bar and wheelie bars too, along with such a large screwball blower, supercharger.
It looks like the V-8 is a small block, but is not clear what the displacement is; would figure it could be a LS or LT or similar in the range from 5.0 L - 6.2 L [302-376 c.i.].
Do You know more about the particular modifications this owner did than mentioned during this recorded video?
Perhaps You have some contact information from the owner. The vehicle tags indicate the car is registered in Florida, so perhaps the owner lives there too, though his speech pattern does seem similar with Yours, which You stated explicitly You are from Toledo, Ohio.
The Fiero, is still one of my favorite vehicle platforms and can be modified for extensive performance, power, and many racing formats.
Clearly, as the owner states, this particular modification is very unusual, and certainly still the first one of this type that am aware of.
Any additional information, details and owner contact would be very much appreciated.
Agree with You, that this mid-engine would do well in snow, with its balanced weight and especially a heavier engine and trans-axle as this modified vehicle, though the light front end might have some issues with steering and need some extra mass, as another person stated. Also since the vehicle is a bit lower, it would have some difficulty in deep snow, but also is very light weight overall with its advantages. Many other rear engine, rear drive vehicles, did well in the snow too as the older VW beetle -bug, van-camper, Karman Ghia, most Porsche vehicles, and the Chevrolet Corvair; my father had bought one in 1965 while we lived there in Toledo too. It was also relatively low, but not quite as much as the Fiero. The four wheel drum brakes could be easily flooded during heavy rains, which would sometimes occur in Our neighborhood and area during the summer.
[also live nearly my first 9 years in Toledo, in the Sylvania township area, and frequently visited my grandmother and friend from our neighborhood after my parents moved with us to the Maryland Suburbs, NW of Washington, D.C.; my last visit was after living in LA, CA with my wife in December 1988; it snowed during Our visit too- the first of that winter; actually born in South Bend, IN, though my mother, her parents, grandparents and my two sisters (older and younger) were born in Toledo too.]
All The Best and Much Success in Your Quest, Health and Well Being.
Sincerely
Awesome Brother!!!
@@ScottieDTV Thank You for Your reply Scottie.
Seems from this short reply, You have no additional information, correct ?
@@newtonfirefly3584 The Florida tags u549ny can be used to talk to the owner directly. I have a spokeo and a similar account that does the lookup.
@@jason.arthur.taylor thank You.
i am not familiar with that means to contact the owner. what is "spokeo" ?
@@newtonfirefly3584 I posted a few more answers but they must have been censored.
I dont normally dig Fieros, but Tracy's is thorough. Well done with the whole build.
Cool is Cool....Glad you liked this one!!
I actually had this car in my shop when he was still getting it together. Very cool build
Perfect combination of 80s sports car and jet boat.... Lol
lol..Right on!
Just ran across this older video of this little guy, that is one badass ride. I would have to say it would be more than a handful if you had the gonads to hold the pedal down. Thanks for finding the most insane rides out there, Thanks again for the excellent work.
You're welcome Brother....Cool car for sure!!
This is so quiet, that if you pulled up to a light and some teenager with is father's "hot" BMW, and he can only see the driver and forward on the Fiero. He wouldn't even know what it was that literally left him in the dust.
If it's a teen driving his dad's BMW he won't know what any of that stuff does anyway.
My pleasure Brother....thanks for checking them out!
what the hell...he pulled out the stock AC Delco stereo
Yeah. Those things stunk. Lol
I got the stereo in my 80 gutless cutlass.
Thanks...glad you liked it!
Now I have to see if anyone did this to a Delorian lol Slightly bigger car for more stability. Then it could finally hit that magical 88 MPH hahaha XD
Thanks so much...glad you enjoy them!!
I am always amazed at the critics who post negative comments about cars like these, just look and keep it to yourself. That is a remarkable feat- to get that whole package together! Nice work, too bad he didn't give you a launch ride in it...
Thanks for the comment Brother!
Thanks for checking it out!!
For the first 3 minutes, I kept saying SHOW THE MOTOR ALEADY lol
Yeah, and then for the rest of the video I wanted to see it being driven. Didn't happen.
Thank you....glad your enjoying the channel!
wowww a 700 hp plus fiero, now ive seen it all.
Rob M my dad owns one. He was going to put a 900 hp crate engine I think it was. Can't remember exactly but it was really high.
Clay Mork they are cool cars, those and porshe 914 conversions are awesome
yea. when i was little when my dad first bought his i thought it loked ugly but now that im older i know thats its a pretty cool car
I have seen a video of 1000 HP Caprice 1996 Model.
Meanwhile, we’ve had 700hp+ MR2s since the late 90’s and we don’t need to swap the engine to do it either.
And helps traction...thanks for checking it out Brother!
whats the name of the headlight kit I want to get them
Your mamas !!
Thanks for checking it out...glad you liked it!!
Sweet rolling engine stand
That's got to about the coolest Fiero, I've ever seen! I like the later spider GTs, but this one is awesome!
Right on...Thanks for checking it out!!
Call it Orange Juiced.......
Cool...thanks for checking it out Brother...I appreciate the comment!!
ALWAYS WANTED A FIERO
I had a beautiful, black 1986 Fiero with the V6 engine. Absolutely loved it. Put 120,000+ miles on it in seven years.
that thing is sick
this reminds me of stuff big daddy Roth would build really awesome car
+RioZLander Glad you enjoyed it!!
I had a neighbor with a 2M6 Fiero back in the day and that thing would MOVE. scared the crap out of me as a kid..
If brad gray had done it he would have put a efi in it that u can manually adjust the computer settings for the idle sounds to me like with such a big overlap cam the wbo2 dont read properly at idle and is trying to compensate thats why the idle goes up and down just a thought
lol...thanks for taking the time to check it out!!
one sick hot rod Tracy man that's beautiful!!!
+Myron Gibson Thanks for the comment....I agree...very cool Car!!
+ScottieDTV Great video, glad we got to see and hear it run. I would have enjoyed a rear view under [rear suspension].
Bowtie Thirteentwenty Glad you liked what I did get...
Hot rods are driven. This one's a trailer queen it seems.
Thanks for checking it out!
So you have a blown v8 right?
Yes!
Is it supercharged?
Yeah...
Right on!
How about forced induction?
Lmao this guy knows nothing about cars he walks around with a camera to seem important idk
@@matmarchand2399 Yup LOLL!! And I loved it when he asked the Fiero's owner to move out of the way so he could get the shot of it that he wanted! Such BALLS!
Nice and great sound have this tuned Fiero :)
Thank you....glad your enjoying it!!
I miss my Fifi :( Hot ride!
lol...we will keep that between you and I...glad you liked it....thanks for stopping by!
How is the engine not sideways
It's an Oldsmobile Toronado transaxle and engine from the late 60s. The Toronado was a front wheel drive coupe that would hook really good, massive torque. Check out the 66-70 model years. Awesome cars.
Also the 1971 to 1977 with 455 c.i., I put one in the back of a 1967 v w bug.
Dude that's what I want my coffin to look like. Pretty creative and original.
Cool!!
IT'S ALIVE!!! I know bcuz I can here it breathing heavily.
No Problem...glad you enjoyed it!
idle it sounds like the tardis
I love the purr... I've got a Mitsubishi with a V6 that sounds the same, at first I thought it was a rough idle, or the air lines were dirty or a misfiring injector. Nope, it's just a cool quirk... maybe if I stick a supercharger on in it'll make the purr sound more impressive.
No problem...glad you liked it!
Guy in the lefthand background is getting arrested hahahaha
Good chance he was!..lol
Thank you...glad your enjoying the channel...
WTF! wow that guy can build!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool for sure!
We had a guy at a car show up here in the northeast about ten years ago with a V8 Fiero, but it wasn't blown like that one. The one I'm talking about looked completely stock on the outside, but the interior and engine compartment were a whole different story.
Right on...I have shot one like that also...
its like 70rear 30 front weight distribution . lol.
Makes it easy to wheelie...lol....Thanks for checking it out!!
How many people are actually thinking about getting a Fiero now and turning it into a badass like this one? Best Fiero I have ever seen and the paint is a good choice.
Everyone has the right to build what they want. I just don't get and will never get the build it to show it thing. Build it drive it race that sounds fun. Drinking a beer and going yeah I built but don't go over 20 n don't touch my paint. Just will never understand. But hey nice car
YeahNo101 ?
Colleen Perkins what he is saying is he doesn’t understand why people build cars to make them lawn ornaments..
Just to sit and look at, this car has an Oldsmobile 455 with a big displacement billet blower with a belt on it as wide as a conveyor belt.
An outrageous amount of money was spent on parts that are designed to withstand the abuse of racing for him not to race it braided lines the works lol
And I get what he means like why not try to win your money back lol I see a fuck Ton of money there
It’s the same concept as buying a sprint car just for it to never race.
In other words this car is a purpose built car that doesn’t serve its purpose. This car is a single digit capable car and could be out making money rather than sitting in grass lol
He did say he took it to the 1/4
@@stckarma6673 And he was babying it probably because of that chain driven transmission
I agree...can't wait to be there in a couple of weeks!
My 84 never looked like that.
No problem...glad you enjoy them!!
You should try to get the car on top gear
that is an awesome fiero, my dad bought me my first car, also an 84 fiero, I didn't drive it though, just let it sit in his driveway for 9yrs until he sold his house, at which point, told him to sell the fiero.
my dad bought a couple more fiero's after buying mine, but he opted for the 88 GT's, more power (being that of a V6 instead of the 4cyl), and a sleeker design..
I, myself, am into Rx-7's but look at fiero's regardless as they are intriguing. good video. awesome build.
Dont see many intercooled roots blowers
there are prominent in Australia for off street use (since it's usually in burnout comps)
I hadn't either...thanks for checking t out!!
なんちゅうエンジン積んでるんだ!! フル加速したら千切れちゃうんじゃない!?
No Problem...thanks for checking it out!
poor mans ferrari that can keep up with a real one
As long as they don't turn.
Are you fucking high? Or just stupid? The Fiero was gotten rid of for a reason, it was a total turd. Drove like shit & caught on fire frequently.
Cool..thanks for checking it out here!
wow!
lol...I hear ya!!
Cool
Thanks for going back so we could hear it
You're welcome Brother...Glad You enjoyed it!!
Thanks for checking it out...I would drive it!
That is one of the coolest builds I've ever seen.
I thought so to!
A review of a hotrod without it tearing up the asphalt is only half a review. Sweet ride!
I get what I can....Glad You liked it though!
Thanks buddy. My cousin had a red 1984 just like that one. His was the base one though. One night years ago, we went to a concert, and when we came back, it was raining. We had to make a tight left turn, and my cousin stomped the gas. We went around the corner to hard, the weight of the rear mounted engine threw us around and we ended up going backwards and slammed into the median of the turn lane that was to our left. My cousin never tried that again. It was funny and nobody got hurt.
Wow...sounds like a good time...lol....thanks for checking this one out!
I'm old enough that I've built two V8 Vegas........ and one V8 Corvair....... I did 'em because I simply couldn't imagine their would ever be a better "light" drag strip killer than a Vega and the Corvair because the independent suspension made for a car that could have dominated "Trans Am" racing had Chevrolet ever built it with the same "mid-engine" set-up.......... then people started building V8 Fieros and the best of both the Vega and the Corvair swaps could be found in this one car. I've never done one......wish I had. This one is pretty incredible ...... beyond my imagination and probably capability too. KUDOS!! Very cool!
Cool..thanks for the information Brother....glad you enjoyed the video!
Cool...thanks for checking it out here!
Cool...thanks for checking it out!
I saw this car cruising by USF in Tampa. Googled Pontiac Fiero and his video popped up. Awesome!
+Christian Zagazeta Cool...Thanks for checking it out here!!
+Christian Zagazeta If you see him again, could you flag him down and pass my email to him please? I'd like to write about this for Street Legal TV. mike.writes@yahoo.com
I used to draw this exact design when I was in highschool! So glad someone built it for real.
***** How cool is that!!
THIS IS SOMETHING THE A-TEAM WOULD DRIVE!
I remember seeing a Pro Street one that was a tube chassis car with a big supercharged V8 up front and the rear was tubbed within an inch of its life. I believe it was an '88 GT and was painted hot metallic pink and featured in one of the major magazines at the time...
Cool!
I tried to buy one of these years ago but all I could find was junk. This car is well AWSOME. Well done!
Glad You liked it!!
Were not in California...thanks for checking it out though,,,
Thanks for checking it out here!
Cool..thanks for checking it out!!
Cool mid engine super rod ! The Fiero is a true 80's cult car! Long live Pontiacs!
It's like a Hot Wheel. Awesome, not even a little bit practical, love it.
lol..Right on!!
Another awesome find from Scottie!! WICKED cool !!
THANKS
My pleasure...Glad you liked it!
Cool...thanks for checking it out!!
misilestic

Wow, it s so fast! should go to the future in seconds !!
All of human history, every innovation since the wheel has been leading us as a species to this.
lol...Finally!!
Glad you liked it!
Sounds cool....thanks for checking this one out!
Thanks,Scottie.From a logging camp in Canada.
Cool..thanks for checking me out Brother....I bet that is a cool parking lot at work!
Very slick ride ... Glad you went back ... If only we could see it fly down the street !!!
I hear ya....
That's a freaking beautiful beast. I use to have a fiero myself, but mine was a four banger. I would love to have that car.
Glad you liked it!
