Since it's such a rare Fiero (and the seller included some very nice high quality images), I thought I'd copy and post this Seattle Craigslist ad. Not a car for everyone's tastes, but man, it's in excellent shape! 1986 Zimmer Quicksilver - Make Offer - $20887 (Olympia)Date: 2011-02-16, 8:41AM PST Just posted beautiful 1986 Zimmer Quicksilver with only 20,000 miles on the odometer. This car has been babied, showroom condition and has been stored in a heated garage most of its life. Everything works and it runs great. This is a rare oportunity to get your hands on a rare car of which only 170 were made. The car is fuel injected with a 2.8 liter V6 engine (140hp), automatic, airconditioning and heater, two seater, power brakes, power steering, power windows, power locks, power trunk andtenna and mirrors. These cars cost over 50k new and I have the original window sticker that came with the car as well. Please email me if you have any further questions. Contact Chris at 360-866-2240.

Although not my taste, it was a very well done ...... uhm, its not a kit, its not a rebody, er maybe you could call it a rebody, just not a kit, as far as I know you could not buy the kit, only the "Turn Key" car. It was never a factory optioned thing though, hmm. Still a very well done item though. |

While it's in fantastic condition, anybody else getting a "Lincoln-humped-a-Fiero-and-accidentally-knocked-it-up baby" kind of vibe from it?

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

I kind of like the front storage compartment. It's... it's... practical! And a separate lid for the trunk that doesn't expose the engine... another great idea (although reaching the engine to work on it looks even more challenging than on a "normal" Fiero).

Yeah. Hopefully it's a touch more durable than the "sneeze and they break" Fiero parts we're used to. But what do you mean the normal Fiero is hard to work on? I think there's tons of room back there. And the trunk makes for a convient seat while you work on it! |

I guess it depends what you've "grown up" with. I could park an entire Fiero under the hood of my first car, a full size '67 Chev.

Oh, and there's tons of room in my pick-ups and Mustang too, but compared to most modern engine bays, the Fiero engine area is gloriously roomy.

That very well might be, but the most "modern" engine bay I've worked in is my '94 Elantra.

I've been working on my mama's 2009, a 2008 Mini of a girl I know and I was poking around the new Camaro's engine bay. It's not so much that the engine's take up alot of room, it's that everything that some useless decorative coating that blocks everything. In order to get a jump start from my mom's Jeep, I need to pop the engine cover off. Sadly, not joking.
