This is my other Pontiac hobby car: a 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT. With a rear-engine 2.8L V6, the Fiero has become a popular hobby car. I bought mine from a show car enthusiast who bought it off of a collector. So mine was driveable and looked great when I bought it with less than 60,000 miles. It is a fun drive, very high safety rating for its time, and the old myth about them catching fire only applied to the early '84 models.
What to do? Engine swaps are very popular, with early '90's Cadillac Northstar V8's a popular choice. Also a good choice are the Pontiac 3800 SC's. I prefer to go with my LS heritage, so I am considering a LS4/4T65E transplant from a mid 2000's FWD Impala SS or Grand Prix. That will change the tame 145hp 2.8L V6 to a 300hp V8 sleeper that can swap parts and times with a Vette.
Here's a photo album with a bunch of pictures so you can see what great shape this little 1980's is in:
