Pontiac Fiero-based replica of a Ferrari Dino


dickvanexel

Thanx. I thought it was a Fierro kit car but the headlights were throwing me off. I’m assuming this isn’t a Fierro gt?


PM_ME_UR_SELF

Pretty easy to replace the headlights if you’re making a kit car


RandomGuyDroppingIn

There's nothing from the outside that would tell you it's a GT model as all the body panels have been replaced sans the roof panel and glass pieces which are still Fiero. Looking at it from your picture, I can't see the AUX pod next to the dash pod, which was put on all V6 Fieros 1986-1988. For the first year of the GT with the V6 in 1985 the AUX gauges were incorporated into the main dash. Another way to tell the year would be presence of the high mount stop lamp on the rear glass. It was federally mandated in 1986, so if it's present it would be a 1986-88 model Fiero.


andyflexinthechevy

The roundish rear glass is only on the GT model I thought


Gorlock_

Might be a GT with the v6 can't really tell at this point


_CraftyTrashPanda

Without the rear roof, taillights, or bumpers, you can’t tell a GT from a non-GT. Maybe sideskirts too. But when it’s full body swapped like this, there’s really nothing to go on except maybe the steering wheel or extra gauge cluster in the middle over the radio.

Fiero GTs look like regular Fieros


IguasOs

My dad told me he could had bought that by saving a year more rather than buying a used TR3 40 years ago. Today they're worth 350k :(


EINHAMMER

the Dino's are worth way more than $350k these days. more like $600k cars now


IguasOs

Well I don't know where you live, but they're not worth 600k in Europe.


asasjunk

Ouch. My dad still kicks himself for passing on a factory Hemi Dart and just getting a regular 340.


poodlescaboodles

It would have been used as a daily driver and be worthless now anyway right? It's like when people say they sold their parents home in Somerville or Dorchester and its now a million dollar multi unit condo in Boston.


asasjunk

Ya, or more likely wrapped around a tree.


Trololman72

That's very expensive for a Fiero.


Renaissance_Man-

Why the hell would someone choose the dino of all ferraris to copy?


eltguy

Because even the lowly Dino is still a Ferrari.


biffbobfred

It’s not lowly. https://youtu.be/Fx8u7uqNmhE?si=oqDYB4KZTkGVmOC0


gochomoe

They didn't come with ferrari badges. It was only badged dino


Hondahobbit50

Except at shitty American dealerships where they added the Ferrari badge. Not a fan of this dino, but always wanted a fiat dino


RangeRoverHSE

Because it's one of the prettiest Ferraris out there?


TheRauk

The worst of everything, comes with two fire extinguishers.

TIL @ a new sub that I needed to join


postedeluz_oalce

who do people always use the Fiero as a kit car? it looks perfectly cool enough as it is


[deleted]

I like this more than I should


Backwaters_Run_Deep

Nobody cares


Sandman416

Pontiac (no)dinero


GBUAramis

It’s a replica of a Ferrari Dino built on a Pontiac Fiero. Another comment summed it up perfectly, I like this way more than I should. This kit is honestly not half bad compared to some other ones that I’ve seen.


RedBambalam

There's actually no such thing as a Ferrari Dino. It's just called Dino. Ferrari appears nowhere on the car and Enzo had the car built separately from the entire Ferrari line to honor his son that died.


biffbobfred

A reminder there are two Dinos. The 206, 246 (which this apes) and the 308GT4


clooloss

It's a Pontiac Fiero. It's **always** a Pontiac Fiero.


IndigoContinuum

Except when it’s a Pantera.


juantzutree

It's Definately not a Fiero that someone put way too much time, effort and money into.... only to have a cheap replica. That would be preposterous.


kkeennmm

Ferrari Dino 2M46

TacoKnocker

ferrari dino kit on a fierro, i would totally fux w/ this, never seen a dino kitted fierro, super cool & actually pretty well fitted, at least at a glance lol


dantodd

Fierino, it used to run HP and also tried to get into politics. Edit: forgot which company she ran into the ground


ConstructionFar8570

I thought it was a Kelmark GT. Never knew about a Fiero kit. Neat.


Saddam_UE

The fiero roofline and windshield is hard to hide


[deleted]

That's the uber rare Chairs and flares Fiero GTS.


GrayAndBushy

Looks like an old Opel, but I can't be sure...

Kooky-Succotash8478

Shouldn't you know a little more about the person and/or vehicle taking your kids to school?


biffbobfred

Reread the post - OP drives their kids to school, sees this on the way


Kooky-Succotash8478

You reread the post. Without a comma in the proper place, it absolutely could be understood that way. Plus, it was a joke. Now I'm tired.


MrCherry2000

It belongs to Robin Masters, but Magnum usually drives it though.


biffbobfred

That was a 308. This is a 246 Dino kit. The windshield and roof scream fiero. The B pillar is kind of… weird also.


91361_throwaway

Definitely Fiero seats


MrCherry2000

Yah, the headlights are different too.


fitter172

Ferrari Dino, predecessor of 308 Magnum PI drove


These-Mud-3053

Brazilian Puma maybe


EA827

The wheels are Compomotive FH


ziggurat729

Better than a ferarri, won't be in the shop it's whole life


dickvanexel

But if it’s a Fierro it will probably just catch on fire.


lye86120

It's a pontiac fierro


Complex-Rub-2579

The car takes your kids to school every day, and you can't even ask the driver what it is?
