    Randy Corson kit to fit Fieros. I've seen one in person (at Cavallino of all places). Would have been a nice looking car, had it not been a replica of an even greater looking car.
    The nose is way too long, but proportions are hard to duplicate with the Fiero's short wheelbase.

    What's sad is this car will actually fool a majority of people that don't know Ferraris especially Boxers as few have ever seen a real BB in person.

    Yes Ive done it. Stretched a fiero back in 91 (with a kit that made it a testarossa) for a guy and put a 350 chev in it. Bolted to the weenie 4 cylinder trans with an adapter. The Kit had an extension in the rear frame section that once cut and separated you lowered the frame rails in relation to the rear portion of the car to change the windshield rake and put it back together. Smart idea to get the rake but still not a great car and im not saying im proud! I was a kid lol.

    yes, back in the 90's. Those were the days for car mods :) was just starting gettin involved in aftermarket wide body mods for Benz and Porches (still have a928s4 Strosek in garage) but that was 4 all the ones with left over $ from the 80's. Anyway, times are changin note you can pick up a nice 308gts for around 20-25k and than we see how we can stretch that babe out. glad see this thread is not dead and keeps it pos., right Brad

    There is no Pontiac Fiero ever built that deserves this type of ending......

    I do believe that's a Kelmark GT, with VW Beetle underpinnings and motive power. That might be its donor vehicle in the background of the second picture. Fred

    The sad thing to consider is how many unknowing and unsuspecting people out there will actually think this IS a Dino.

    I believe his $1 asking price is optimistic. I wouldn't haul it away for $1
