PS - Is that a Fiero under that car cover? If it is, is it one of those GTs? I think they were like 86-88 or somewhere around there.
Good Eye!!

It is a 1985 Fiero 2M6 With a few mods I have done. T Tops, Indy Scoop, Herb Adams Suspesion and a few more changes. Wrecked it rebuit it.

Bought it new had I show it. I have won my class at the Pontiac nationals for the last 4 years and 6 oyt of the last 8.




Your thinking of the fast back that came out later. It mechanically is the same car but they just added a different rear body section.

Most of the kits are crap or very expensive if you do it right. You would have to be crazy to put $20K- $25K into a Fiero And I like Fiero's

Mosty of the good Ferrari kits are off the market and you can find a used 308 for $25K to 30K.

Besides the car is too clean to tear up. I even have the floor pan waxed.

Half the people who see at show have no clue it is a Pontiac let alone a Fiero even with Pontiac across the windshield.

It is a fun car kind of like a big go cart.

You know, while you have those way-cool rims on the car, you better put it up for "HHR of the Month" this winter. Go find some cool backdrops and snap more photos. God Bless, Marc

I'm getting my winter sneakers put on tomorrow.
Maybe we can get some winter wear competition going.

Way to revive an old but deserving thread Marc

Great looking wheels! Very unique. They really suit the vintage look of the HHR!!

Luckily for me, I have a great winter vehicle (Jeep), so will be putting away the SS this week.

I might but I have not put them on yet. these pics are from last year.

What was be funny is my last daily driver Pick Up was featured on the cover of a Performance Catalog with John Lingenfelters Pro Stock pick up.

Everyone kept asking me how I got my truck on the cover and all I would tell them it was my winter beater.

The truth is it was the right make and it was red. Many times cars for magazines and catalogs are chosen more for the color than anything.

Anyway I figured it was 4 min of my 15 min of fame.

My car has made a couple magazines but the one was a one page feature and the other was on some of the prototype parts on it from Pontiac. The story just showed the parts and not the whole car.

IMO, the tire/wheel set-up brings more of the '49 Suburban to mind; The way it ought to be. Nice job bringing in more of the retro.
