Fiero Trike

Here's a truly unique "car" I saw over the Memorial Day weekend.  We were stopped for lunch at the Carousel in Warrenton, VA, and this amazing Pontiac-Fiero-made-trike pulled in.  My wife spotted it first, and I knew it had to be the next Car Bizarre.

According to owner Daniel Tate, it started life as a 1989 Fiero.  The car front end was chopped off, and the chopper bits added on.  It runs the original motor, with a turbocharger as well!  Mr. Tate didn't build this creation, but when the original owner died of cancer, Daniel decided to buy and maintain the trike as a rolling tribute.

Such creations based on air-cooled VWs are fairly common, but I've never seen one done from a Fiero--have you?  I couldn't resist a few more pics, so here you go.

  1. Any more pics of this fiero trike, I've been debating building a trike since my motorcycle accident on 5-25-15 which was memorial weekend and my first ride of the season and last since then... I've been thinking of using a Vette and making it rear drive then I seen a couple fiero trikes and like the smaller footprint and I can upgrade the engine to a more modern ecotec rebuilt with performance in mind... Thanks in advance. Hope you and yours have a great week.
