1984 Pontiac Fiero Indy Pace Car

This 1984 Official Indianapolis 500 Pontiac Fiero Pace Car. Only 2000 pace cars were made out of the 137,000 models sold. Pontiac were given the opportunity to provide the pace car for Indianapolis 500 on four occasions. 1984 was one unique to the Pontiac brand bringing in an all new mid-engine Pontiac Fiero.

Finished in two-tone white and gray over a gray and red interior, the cars are powered by a 2.5-liter inline-four mated to a three-speed automatic transaxle. 1984 Pontiac Fiero Indy Pace Car feature a pop-up glass sunroof, unique decals, white-painted 14” alloy wheels, a rear wing, red fabric seat inserts, and headrest speakers.

Under the hood is a naturally aspirated 2.5L four-cylinder engine, which is mated to the optionally available three-speed automatic transaxle. Only the 2.5L engine was offered for the 1984 model year, with GM only adding the V6 to the order books for 1985.

White 14″ alloy wheels with a red outer stripe came fitted as part of the Indy Pace Car package, and both cars ride on 215/60 Goodyear Eagle GT white-letter tires. Stopping power is provided by power-assisted discs at all corners.

The Pontiac Fiero Indy 500 Pace Car Edition also featured an eye-popping two-tone interior with white and grey leather upholstery, red seat inserts and red carpeting. A white leather-wrapped steering wheel and white leather-wrapped gear selector also came standard.

As the brand’s first two-seater in nearly 50-years, the first mass-produced mid-engined American car, and one of the period’s most fuel efficient cars, the Fiero featured bold aerodynamics and styling. There were three different versions offered in the first year as an alternative to the base model Fiero, the Sport, SE, and Indy Pace Car.
