- In this 30th video you will get to see a 1987 Pontiac Fiero. This is one of the coolest cars around and was GM’s attempt at creating it’s first a Mid-Engined car and wow what a car!. The Fiero GT is just stunningly beautiful and has been featured in movies like the Fast and Furious 9! It has the cool look of a Ferrari as well as the Trans Am all rolled into one unique car that is so much fun to drive. It is one of the coolest cars coming out of the 80’s and a true American Beauty that still turns heads today. They are still high in demand and collectors will travel as far as necessary to to pick up one of these beauties. Many ended up in Europe too!
In case you are keeping Track this is Episode 30 of Classic Car ChitChat Videos!
I hope my Classic Car ChitChat video’s make you smile. I do them in my spare time because I truly love cars and my intentions are simply to honour the beautiful cars I get to see and to really understand the passion and love of the vehicle by the driver (or caretaker as Jay Leno would say) of the car. I also understand too that my videos perhaps lack the polish calibre of great UA-camrs like: Doug DeMuro, Scotty Kilmer, and of course my favourite Supercar Blondie. I also know that I can’t even come close the quality & finish you get from the likes of Jeremy Clarkson and the boys at Top Gear. I think they use a little fancier equipment than my little iPhone… LOL
Mission Statement:
My Objective through creating these videos is to shine the spotlight on people who love their vehicles whether it be a car, motorcycle, or even a bicycle…. Bottom line is if it has wheels and you love it then let’s show that passion to the world!
Equipment Used:
Camera - Just an iPhone SE (Nothing fancy - which proves anyone can use whatever you have handy to make a video… you don’t need really expensive equipment)
Gimbal - DJI OM4 - For that ultra-smooth cinematic look. (To be honest... still not quite sure how to use it but one day I will figure it out!)
Audio - Rode Wireless GO II (I gotta be honest… this is really the biggest investment that was made… I wish there was a cheaper option but after the first couple of videos I soon realized that audio quality is important and hopefully better than the onboard mic on the iPhone!

Thank You

Have always thought these were awesome cars since a young age. I just picked one up a few weeks ago and they are so underrated. The Fiero is the first car in a long time to put a smile on my face, and the 4cyl I own only makes 92hp.
Nathan, first of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. You are also one lucky guy. The car is awesome. I firmly believe that horsepower is truly not important. My little MG only puts out about 89 HP but that is downhill with a strong wind pushing me forward 😀. But hey I wouldn’t trade her for anything- well perhaps the 65 Aston Martin DB5 😀😀😀
The Fiero brought me here. It has a lot of modifications. He did a great job with it.
Absolutely.. great car and so much fun.. I tried buying it off him.. no luck
@@ClassicCarChitChat haha yes well anything is for sale for the right price.
This guy went all out of upgrading this Fiero, the interior is much nicer than any Fiero I have seen or heard of, very unique and tastefully done.
First of all I would like to thank you for for watching my videos and subscribing it really means a lot to me. You are absolutely right. The care and detail taken on ever level shows. Truly a beautiful example of a car that Pontiac should never have stopped making!
A man who can keep a MG running has my upmost respect.
First of all.. I love your name .. “lucky goose” that is just priceless. Secondly, thank you so very much for watching subscribing to my cha.. I truly appreciate it. Also.. yes the mg was the best present I ever bought myself.. I appreciate your comments 😀😀
yup, my 1st car was a red 84 SE( in '96), used it also for my 1st engine rebuild/swap. went on to have 3 more after that, and still now today i have my latest, a Met Blue '87 GT 5-sp, with a 3400 in it. that's more like the engine they SHOULD have come with! boy is it fun to drive!
Fiero, wow.. you lucky dog. These cars are the most exciting and fun cars made by Pontiac. It’s great to see there still is a large following for them and so much interest in keeping them running. I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for taking the time to watching my videos, leaving a comment and for subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.
My intention when creating these videos is to showcase not only the beautiful car but give the owner an opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. Thanks again Kevin.
Love all his modifications.I have an 86.5 GT that is all original and would never change anything about it, but maybe someday I’ll buy another just to play with and customize. 😊
Bob, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. I like your train of thought. If you are lucky enough to have a car that is as original as can be it sometimes doesn't make sense to "modify" her. However if you have an alternate car in need of work... That is a great solution 👌
Beautiful Fiero!!! Kudos Sir!!!
Thank you kindly!

What a great video and beautiful car. I remember my dad used to have one and had to sell it so we could get a mini van. It's given me the inspiration to go and get one for myself now. Is jeff ready to sell the car? :)
Thanks Julia.. great car and great guy
My first car was an '85 Fiero 2M6, I loved it. Honestly, it's a lot of fun for the money.
You are lucky.. one of the cars that I owned was the 84 TransAm. My absolutely favourite car. I think I went into depression after selling her. She was essentially the stretchy version of the fiero with a couple extra seats thrown in the back just for sure really since no body could actually sit in them and be comfortable 😀😀😀
Has the Mike Goode custom cup holder and glove box... just hung out with him and his new fiero at a car show this past weekend.
Lucky you Terry.. cool car and cool guy too. Thanks again for watching my videos I truly appreciate it 😀
Nice little motor. I still have the stock bore 3400 Dohc forged pistons. If you decide to do higher compression.
Rourkester, the Fiero is certainly one of those cool cars that people are beginning to realize how good it actually was. Your’s sounds awesome. I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. As you may have seen in my videos that my intention is to showcase not only the beautiful car and really give the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. Thanks again Kevin.
Interesting engine choice. I'll bet that car moves really well.
Surferdude (cool name BTW) you are so right. The engine sound too is amazing.

Mid Engined Legend!!
Stan.. I gotta agree with you. I have been lucky enough to be a passenger in 2 gorgeous Fiero’s and fell in love with them. If I had the space in my garage and a few extra dollars to spare I would certainly buy one.
Extremely well done. I love it.
25 Soupy.. Love the name. They are fantastic cars and I personally would love to have one too. Also, I would like to thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos are not to be "how to" videos (I think there are amazing videos made by others far qualified than me) instead my focus is to create a platform where "ordinary" people who love cars get an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. Kevin
Nice ride bro
Totally agree.. thanks also for watching my videos
Nice well modded sports car. Enjoy and thank you for sharing
Thank you Jonathan. I think it’s one of the coolest cars around and just so much fun. Thank you also for watching my videos.
As a Brit I don't get to see these things on the road. That's a real shame because it's bloody gorgeous!
Richard, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. I completely agree with you. I think Pontiac missed a great opportunity to sell this car in Europe. The size of this car is perfect for English roads and streets. Plus it would have given the Ford Capri a little more competition too!
i have a 86 gold gt, here in toronto canada!
Ty.. first of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. I would love to make a video of your Fiero. Can you please contact me at:

Love these cars with the extended c pillars.
Popeye, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. I love them too. They have such a cool look to them and stability too.
Got a 1986 Notchback, and a 1987 GT.
The 1987 was my daily driver….until the freeze plugs went out on the engine’ Location? Behind the damn transmission…..I might sell it, I already swapped the back clips, but it is a 1987! The headlights….motors changed in 1987, it also has working ac, power windows, and locks.
Ebperformance, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. Wow, you certainly have a little stable of Fiero's going on. That's fantastic. We both know these are lovely little car's that still get people excited and always attract attention. Kevin
@@ClassicCarChitChatthank you for the kind reply….and I’m glad I found your channel.
My 1986 has a new transmission, A low mileage 3800 SC engine, a new turbo’ I got rid of the supercharger’ and went turbo.
That's interesting you went turbo only..Why did you drop the supercharger?
@@ClassicCarChitChat a Turbo is more Efficient than the M-90 supercharger.
The supercharged L-67 powered Fieros are doing high 12s to mid 11s 1/4 mile times’ depends on the pulley size.
The fieros running Turbocharged L-67s are doing Mid 9s to high 10s
The supercharged L-67s sound nice….but their a bit loud.
The Turbocharged L-67s sound very nice, and Quiet’ depends if the waste gate is fed into the exhaust.
the actual original engine was a turbo 2.9 v6, that Pontiac was designing from the ground up for the Fiero, but it got canned when the test cars performance tests started coming in. 0 to 60 was just under six seconds.
Thanks James
Woahhh
Thanks Neal.. really cool car.. may just fit in my garage
Great car.
Totally agree.. so often overlooked.
I see he has the After Market Glove Box. I also have one in my 87 Fiero GT. But can you ask him where he got the Cup Holders????? That is one thing my car needs. Thanks!
Hi al.. first off thank you so very much for watching my videos I truly appreciate it. I will certainly ask the owner where he got it and get back to you.
look up Mike Good on FB hes there and sells them. you can also do a search on Pennocks Fiero Forum
I had an '86 GT in this colour... it had the optional 5-speed and tan interior as well. My last Fiero was a red '88 GT 5-speed... sold it just before they became worth something as collectibles. Oops.
A fool (love the handle), First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. I was just thinking you probably are kicking yourself everytime you see one too. It's live me and my anniversary TransAm.. What the heck was I thinking selling her.
One fantastic car.
I agree with you
i haver a white 86 fiero gt. 4sp manual. love it
Recovering know it all (love the name btw.) First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow ´ordinary people’ who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. After all we are all the "caretakers"of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). 👏 They truly are just a gem of a car and whenever you go out with her, I bet some of the younger people are curious as to what exactly it is.
My dad had a 1957 MGB...at 77 yrs old he still regrets selling it 😂
Edit: he's telling me it was was 57 MGA, my bad!
Jay, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. First lets address the Fiero.. such a cool car that so many turned their nose up at but a real gem today. Your dad obviously had great taste in the 57 MGA which in my opinion had better styling than my MGB.. but either way they are fun cars and your dad I’m sure thinks about that car every warm and sunny day.
Definitely very cool 😎
Thank you Kai.. I agree.
12:17 JOSH ALLEN OWNS A BAD ASS FIERO!!
Paul, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow ´ordinary people’ like you and I who love cars an opportunity to speak about their love of their car and why that car means so much to them. After all we are all the ´caretakers’ of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says).
Thay are still very unique car
Thay was way ahead of thare time ⌚ 100%
And gorgeous too.
I don't understand the "patient wife" comment at all.... Are you supposed to thank your wife for not complaining too much about how you spend your own time and money?
Hectore.. yes sometimes 😊.

Bruh, Millennials are as old as the car. I'm a millennial born in 1985. I'm only a few years younger than this guy. Many of us can't drive stick (though I and my GF do) but seriously - stop confusing the early 20s Gen-Z with millennials. It's like mistaking Boomers with the Greatest Generation.
Ryne,First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. After all we are all the "caretakers"of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). Well said.. you are correct. However.. let’s both agree the Fiero is just a wonderful and cool little car.
@@ClassicCarChitChat yes, the Fiero is great. I had one before and bought another recently. This one is a really clean example.
Gotta get rid of that stupid bra. It's ruining the paint. Just get rid of it.
Thanks for watching my videos Vice I truly appreciate it. I used to have a bra on my Trans Am it helped reduce the stone chips and I would heavily wax the area before putting it on.. helped a little.
@@ClassicCarChitChat
That's the original thinking, but it does more harm than good. It's easy to fix those stone chips than to fix those big cuts into paint by the bra. Not worth the trouble. That's why you don't see anyone doing that anymore.
