    Fiero V6’s have always sounded great.
    Some great sounding V6 was GM’s 3.8 and 4.3

    I still have my 1987 Fiero. My first new car. Still runs ! It looks even better now than when I purchased it from the Pontiac dealer. Always loved the look and drive of the car. You got a beauty there. It’s going to look really great! Always nice to see other Fiero owners keeping them around!

    I loved this start up and beginning of restoration video! It always intrigues me when I see old cars parked inside of sheds and in yards if they could ever be up and running again. I’ve been following your videos for many many years since I was in grad school and this just takes me back to the memories of those days! Love the content, keep it coming! Glad to see you are doing well! 😊

    Always loved the look of these. Would love to see one of these with a supercharged 3800 swapped into it, but that engine in it now sounds great and seems to be running well. Looking forward to be this series!

  • @MichaelBlueMusic
    @MichaelBlueMusic Год назад +4

    Man, I want an ‘85 2M6. Here’s some info that might help you. The hood is modified, the scoop is aftermarket (and ugly), that wing is from an AW11 MR2, and the seats are from an ‘84 Fiero. If you’re in the salt belt, check the rear upper frame rails and engine cradle for rust-through. Can’t wait to see this progress, good luck!!

    I was 15 at the time so the 80s is definitely my most nostalgic era for cars. I always loved the Fiero GT's fastback design, even tho the Vb it came with was less than impressive. That said, the standard model was cool in its own right.

      No, my friend had the GT as a parts car, is way too far gone for saving. I'll end up using most of it to fix the SE, except for the ground effects. My friend prefers the non-GT notchback body.
