In today's video, I'll be rescuing a 1985 Pontiac Fiero SE V6 and giving it the first cleaning it's had in years! I'll also be working on getting it running! This car belongs to a good friend of mine and he's wanting it to be his daughter's first car. I'm not going to be doing a super invasive build or anything wild, but fixing it up to be nice and addressing a number of mechanical and cosmetic issues. This video will focus on reviving the car. Obviously, in its current state, the car is in pretty poor shape and of course doesn't run at the moment, but I have high hopes that I'll be able to transform it into a pretty sweet ride!

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 still have my 2.8L 1985 SE. I bought it new in 85.
Ronald finger has entered the chat
I am missing those uploads! I haven't been as into Kyle's reviews/truck builds but I'm THERE for revivals and his restomod.
I really thought it was a Ronald Finger video when i saw the thumbnail 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
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 liked the Fiero. Definitely looking forward to see more Fiero content 👍
The Fiero GT's were the BEST!
Especially the ‘88s.
I like the hood scoops. It allows more cool air for the spare tire.
That Fiero is a cool car and those are hard to find in decent condition
Another beautiful Red car entering its way into its own series! Can't wait to see what's in store for it, and how it will look in the end!
Awesome Barn Find !!
This video reminded me of your old junkyard attempts to start. I always loved watching those and this is a perfect reincarnation.
This will be the second Fiero resto I've watched on CZcams If you haven't seen the other one search Ronald Finger on CZcams he also completely restored a Fiero . Looking forward to this one one these are iconic cars from my childhood.
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!
Can’t wait to see things evolve. I owned one and really enjoyed it.
My uncle had an 88 formula. Sat under a tree for years and years. I miss that thing
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 appreciate the insight bud! Thanks for watching!
Wow, safe this metal beauty!
The fiero sounded sooo good ngl! I'm excited to what's coming for this thing!
I like it!!!!!!
When you said, "How's it goin'?", your voice cracked! Also, I LOVE the Pontiac Fiero, not the 1984 model because it was flammable.
I have an 88 formula and i love it. Im currently reatoring it and am about 70% done with it. Cant wait for more videos on this.
88 ForMula ! Greatest Fiero
I’d like to see a nice restoration with this 85 Pontiac, new suspension, Dakota digital gauges, new paint, restoration of the interior, something very similar to the Monte Carlo :)
I love this kind of series!
Glad that the car finally starts!
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.
They have no power but DAMN I love the sound of those pushrod V6's.
Sounds gorgeous
Americans DO know how to make beautiful looking and sounding cars!
This is excellent! Love the Fiero! You scored a great car its all there, looks sweet. Keep up the video series awesome look forward to more!
Nice find. There is only one practical option. Bring it to the Gambler 500!
Whatever creature was nesting in those pipes got a rude awakening lol
Heck yeah they did LOL!
Such an awesome video! I like the older GMs so it’s going to be hard to decide between the Jimmy , the k1500 and this one which was my favorite. I’d still love to have a truck identical to the step side though!
Have to admit it's been a while since I've watched the channel. That is about to change.
I would absolutely love to own one of these cars. Specifically a 1985 Gt model in Red with the rare t-tops and a manual transmission 😍. I’m super stoked for more fiero content!!!
sadly only the 1988 model year had factory t-tops
That eas a fun video kyle thanks for uploading
Imagine if someone was able to get hold of of a rocket engine or a jet engine and bolting it to the fiero 😂😂 like in F9.
Love that car real cool 😎
Awesome classic Pontiac fiero revival bro
Can't wait for this series thanks man
Loved the video brother! Looking forward to the future videos on the series
Cool, I always liked these 😀
I'd don't know are these Fiero worth it I'd think I'd want a Fiero. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That is one badass car ! Can't wait to see more of it 👍👍
A manual gearbox swap is a must.
Just leave it in the barn walk away 🤣😝
13:36 I guess the same guy who owned Davidsfarm’s Eagle Talon must’ve owned a Fiero, too! 😂
Awsome car , awsome project, cool séries im gonna fallow allong 🤟 good job kyle as always
Cool video saabkyle04 😎👍
Hi
Hey Kyle
Nice
Id like to be your friend. I have a station wagon that needs work. Lol
Next video: we’re going to body swap a 60s GM cab and bed onto the Fierro
You should try see for some help from Ronald Finger, he recently restored one of these so he might have some valueable insight!
I have an 84 Fiero and love it! Glad to see you are taking this on. And thanks to Ronald Finger for inspiring me to grab it and restore my own! What’s the other Fiero for? Parts?
Sounds like a V-10 that needs a tune up😂
Pretty neat. Classic in government eyes my eyes nah but they were neat little sport cars
You should Ls swap the motor 😉
When's part 2 coming out?
I have a Fiero 87 the profile picture you see is mine thing that scares me now after having it since 2018 as I noticed rust on the part of the frame where the engine cradle is I'm hoping I can find somebody to weld it or I can put piece of Steel there where the shock mount is otherwise I might have to get rid of mine or find another Fierro I think I can weld it never was a General Motors fan but I love the Fiero
We demand 240sx content!
looks like its a Hodge pod of parts the tach is a four cylinder car one
Más chulo que su "primo" el X 1/9.
What time of the year did you record this? It appears cooler than August. 🤔
😎👍🏽
4 Cylinder gauge cluster.
Leather seats were not an option until 1988.
The tach in the dash is from a 4 cyllinder Fiero, The V6 tach red lines at 6000 RPM and orange lines at 5500 RPM. Either the dash cluster or the motor aren't original to the car
Not a fan of Pontiacs, But the classic car looks cool(in my opinion).
They have been trying to reach your friend about this car's extended warranty...
Those iron dukes are almost unkillable
Когда Весту снимешь?
You're friend with Marshall Eriksen ?
Ice video
It's still not a 240sx video.
Cool car how long was it sitting for?
My guess is around 5 years
@@saabkyle04 it’s amazing how good it started up after sitting that long man 🤙🏼
Restore?? How about a Cadillac northstar or another swap. ecotec? 2.7 turbo? ...LS is OVERDONE!
Kyle I saw another Fiero but a GT... Are you planning to build 1 out the 2 of them?... Make this one a GT?
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.
Bitchin 👍
Please remove those “scoops” that hang out behind the doors - those are absolutely hideous.
690cca's???.................LOL!..............That wont even budge my 5.7 Hemi..LOL!
Plenty for a 2.6L V6, that's the battery size the car calls for.
@@saabkyle04 tobad wayyyyy tobad this concept as a 2 seater never came back
@@saabkyle04 updates on the chevelle, the finale of the s10, the 240sx, and the 62 gmc
@@saabkyle04Hey Kyle. I’m a huge fan of your videos and I really like the reviews of every car you have posted on your CZcams channel. And I also want to wish you a happy birthday from me and my family.
A lot of questionable customizing done on that car. Personally I would have touched it with a ten foot pole.
Kyle, Joe Biden needs a rescue too😂
Your not too smart. You never rev a 2.8 engine like that when you first get after sitting a while!!!!!!!
Nice
