For $12,995, Fini Is The Last Word In Fieros
For $12,995, Fini Is The Last Word In Fieros-January 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:07

Today’s custom Fiero looks wilder than a rock star with two-days worth of bed head. Is its price however, too much of a walk on the wild side?

Harry Nilsson once sang that one is a lonely number, and that proved to be the case for yesterday’s claimed one of one in the U.S. nineteen ninety… that's right, one, . According to an overwhelming 76% of you, it’s going to remain lonely, that many having having given its price a Crack Pipe loss.

Today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe Familia GTX is the 323 - for America at least - that was never…

Despite being voted over-priced, yesterday’s Mazda was laudable for its seemingly factory fresh and original condition, a rare sight in a GTX. You know in what marque that seems even more rare today? That’s right, the Pontiac Fiero. And today we have the most balls to the wall outrageous Fiero custom that you’ve ever seen outside of a Peyote-high hallucination. Don't you judge me.

Described as the Fini Fiero, started life as a 1987 Fiero. That’s just one year shy of the major suspension redesign, so while outlandish on the top side, it’s still running on the bouncy bits that, in back were taken from the Chevy Citation, and in the front harken back to the Opel Kadett of 1852.

In ’87 the Fiero could be purchased with either the 98-horse Iron Puke, or the 140-pony Chevy 2.8-litre six. Neither of those was apparently good enough for the Fini however as it rocks a Northstar V8 late of a Caddy. It also sports an automatic transmission which is probably a good thing as it wold be hard to concentrate on shifting yourself when you’re preoccupied with the car’s audacious appearance, both inside and out.

Let’s start with the cockpit, which unlike most Fiero customs actually looks like somebody put some thought into the mods, and actual craftsmanship into the execution. Sure the basic Fiero IP is there, but it’s now wrapped in a leather hood that snakes down to the wide center tunnel. A Pioneer head unit and what looks to be a Grant steering wheel accessorize the space.

On the outside, whoa doggies! The front of this car looks like something that might have come out of the British maker TVR’s barn back in the day and features… what are those, old Celica headlights? The sculpted sides lead to a rear that’s even more audacious than that of Kim Kardashian, and carries enough round red bauble lights to make followers feel like they're playing old school Coleco Football.

Large reverse extractor vents flare from each B-pillar, and chrome five-hole alloys are tucked under the tight-lipped wheel arches. The whole thing is painted in pearlescent paint that switches from purple to blue depending on how the light hits it.

The seller notes that fifty grand and over 2000 man hours have gone into this cars creation - more than that for the Federal Governments Healthcare Reform website form the look of things. Of course you're almost never going to get your investment - either in time or blood sweat and tears - back upon selling any custom car.

As such, the price for this wild child of a Fiero is $12,995, and you need to say whether that's a deal or not. What do you think, is a Lincoln-shy of thirteen grand for the Fini financially sound? Or, does that price mean fini for the Fini?

You decide!

H/T to Civardi for the hookup!

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...
