Bob Kaiser - Fierro 600
Much to
the surprise of all who see it, this car is a daily driver.
Many times I have had people say, I can't believe you are
driving that way, it is the only one of its type in
existence. I explained that I bought the car for everyone’s
enjoyment and believe it should have its freedom instead of
solitude.
The car is a Fierro 600 that was designed by Joseph Fierro
in 1982. There were a total of 14 bodies made, with the
original intention of going on the VW pan/chassis. In 1983,
GM showed interest in Joe's company and in 1984, GM released
the Fiero (only one "r"). This car is the only one to be
completed (thanks to Ken Whitney - purchase was more like an
adoption) and actually mounted on the Fiero chassis. The
body was mounted on a 1984 Fiero chassis. The engine was
replaced with a low mileage 1988 Fiero 2.8 liter V6. The
interior is the standard Fiero with the updates of wood
overlay on instruments and gauges. The tachometer has been
replaced with one for the V6 engine and the 85 MPH
speedometer was replaced with a 120 MPH one. The paint color
is a 1971 T-bird color of Strawberry.
