GLWTS !!!\n\nNerd alert: I have been driving Fieros for 30 years and come bearing some obscure Fiero facts/stats to share with the class (and potential bidders). \n\nFirst, while deciphering the SPID sticker (photo 160 above), I notice a few things that popped out at me: \n\nOut of 17,660 GTs produced for '86 model year, a mere 820 came from factory with RPO K05 \"Engine Block Heater\", and only 5,538 came with RPO UA1 \"Heavy Duty Battery\". The latter is long gone, but the original buyer of this car definitely wanted a more robust Fiero for cold weather! \n\n7,832 GTs came with UQ6 \"Performance Sound w/ Subwooofer\"\n\n@BNEDDY I agree and LOVE these cars too! I can address your questions: \n\nRegarding the seats, these are indeed factory, and a bit rare. RPO AR9 (shown on the SPID sticker in above photo 160) was used to denote \"Bucket Seats\" for all years of Fiero production. Under that single RPO, Pontiac lumped multiple seat covering options which changed over the 5-year production span. For '86-'87 S/E & GTs, that included \"Suede w/ Leather\" (like this car), and the more common \"Pallex\" seats with the leather patch and horizontal strip that you remember. I've yet to find a source for how many cars got what seat coverings, but most Fiero fanatics agree the factory \"suede w/ leather\" seats are by far less common that the cloth version with logo. I've never seen a suede pair in person. \n\nBurgundy paint (aka \"Medium Red Metallic\") was not available for '86. It was introduced for the '87 model year.
