The DFW Car & Toy Museum has added a 1985 Pontiac Fiero GT to its collection, offering visitors a chance to see a well-preserved example of one of America's few mid-engine production cars. Part of The Ron Sturgeon Collection, the Fiero GT features a 2.8-liter V6 engine, pop-up headlights, and a removable sunroof, all in a factory red finish with just 60,000 original miles.
Built by General Motors from 1984 to 1988, the Pontiac Fiero was a bold experiment in affordable sports car design. The GT variant, introduced in 1985, came with the more powerful L44 V6 engine and sportier styling cues. Despite its innovative mid-engine layout and sharp handling, the Fiero faced reliability issues and was discontinued after a short production run, making well-preserved examples like this one increasingly rare.
Ron Sturgeon, founder of the DFW Car & Toy Museum, noted the car's unique place in automotive history. "The Fiero GT has always been an automotive outlier, and that's exactly why I love it. It's mid-engine, American, sporty, and full of character—and this one is about as clean as you'll find," Sturgeon said in the announcement.
The museum, located at 2550 McMillan Parkway in Fort Worth, Texas, offers free admission and parking. It houses a diverse collection of cars and toys, and the Fiero GT is now on display alongside other vehicles from the Ron Sturgeon Collection. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, and more information can be found on its website at dfwcarandtoymuseum.com.
The addition of the Fiero GT underscores the museum's focus on preserving automotive history, particularly vehicles that represent unconventional or overlooked chapters in the industry. For car enthusiasts and casual visitors alike, the Fiero offers a glimpse into a time when American automakers dared to experiment with mid-engine layouts and futuristic designs.
