Now all we have to do is track down the red one..

So a few years ago (five and counting) we came across this – The Concept 2000 GT (Pontiac Fiero). Only twelve were ever made and according to our original notes, one three remained in the US – One white, one red and this black one.

In the latest update (thanks Reddit) the white one has just been unearthed!

So back in 2015 the black version was on offer for 12k US. However five years on, the market for rare Fiero’s seems a little less exciting as the white concept has just been snapped up at auction for only 5k!

Interestingly this one is a turbo V6 which another redditor pointed out definitely wasn’t a factory thing back in 1988. So it’s possibly had an engine swap or someone just decided the ’88 power of a 2.6 litre V6 needed a nudge and added a snail to it.

At the moment that’s all we have to go on – the auction price and the sole picture of it come auction time. If this is indeed one of the original Concept 2000 GTs made, then we’ve tracked two of the three left in the US (unless this one was one of the overseas ones that’s now come back home.)

Which begs the question… Where is the red one? If you’ve got it (or the black one) let us know so we can complete the Fiero Concept Car Trilogy! For no real reason save for entertainment value. Maybe it’ll turn up in the next five years? We’ll let you know.

  1. Hello , actually last fall I purchased a yellow one at an estate sale. Needs some mechanical work so not on road yet. Trying to find out info on these cars is tough so I’d be interested in whatever you know. I read somewhere there was 12 or 13 made and mine is in Pennsylvania. Tried contacting one of the car designers son but with no luck. Thanks

    • G’day Bob,

      Firstly apologies for the late reply. I haven’t checked this site in a while so it’s catch up day today. Sadly I don’t have much info at all save for what I’ve written up so far – the original article was put together by a random internet find years ago and like you’re finding yourself, info seems very limited.

      If you’re on Reddit though, I’d suggest having a comb through – the last big bit of traffic I had on these cars came from there so I’d suggest there’s a few fans and possibly someone more knowledgeable than me over there.

      Good luck with your new project btw!
      -Al
