The Pontiac Fiero: Tavarish and Kit-Car Builders Donor Car of Choice | Lamborghini Replicas
Pontiac built 380,000 mid-engine Fiero sports coupes before ending production in 1988. But instead of piling up in recycling yards, the Fiero has lived on as the donor car of choice for supercar (including Lamborghini) imitations and replicas, as well as becoming a collector car in its own right. After refurbishing two real Lamborghinis, YouTube DIY builder Tavarish himself has acquired a wrecked fake Lambo built on a Fiero chassis for one of his new projects. Join me as I review the history of the Fiero and why that particular car is desired for all manner of supercar replicas. July 30, 2021 updated: Here is Tavarish's video on his purchase of a Fiero conversion to a "supercar", albeit not a very good conversion example. Since our video was published, he backtracked on his plans for the car and ended up scrapping it, saving only the front end as a static display. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uCsqPvBtHA. His video ended up as a one-off sponsored by AutoBidMaster. He did release a second video where they strip off the faux panels and get the chassis running: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHNBMe3Wgis. #Fiero #Lamborghini #Tavarish OTHER RELATED VIDEOS AND BELATED TECH VEHICLE VIDEO SEGMENTS: Episode 34: Nikola Motors: https://youtu.be/8_IS6Smk9Ug Episode 29: Buick Reatta: https://youtu.be/fXx_ZqR988g Episode 24: Ford Think City: https://youtu.be/mGTVLKnm-us Episode 18A: Tesla Cybertruck: https://youtu.be/h2CO0CGWaDU Definitive history of the Fiero: https://jalopnik.com/pontiac-fiero-the-definitive-history-5501545 SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ33gn98lV3TLrLsoKdCCYg?sub_confirmation=1 CHANNEL RELATED LINKS: Instagram, for preview pics: https://www.instagram.com/belatedtech/ (@belatedtech) Twitter, Parler, & Plurk: for new episode announcements: https://twitter.com/belatedtech; https://parler.com//Belatedtech; https://www.plurk.com/belatedtech Minds: for retrotech and innovation news: https://www.minds.com/belatedtech/ Belated Tech Gaming: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7IhN_1CRDlLdsBRDAhZ9iQ CONTACT: Email us at belatedtech@freestate.biz Or send mail to: PO Box 34726, Bethesda, MD 20827 MUSIC CREDIT: Song: Good Starts – Jingle Punks YouTube Audio Library
