You Need This: Zimmer Quicksilver, a Fiero ready for a costume party

Would love to find a cosmetically rough Zimmer or Excalibur to use for Lemons.   

In reply to Sonic :

How about a VW Beetle-based Gazelle? 

In reply to Russian Warship, Go Berkeley Yourself :

Oh yeah, those are just the kind of wheels I was looking for.

It looks like some one from Zimmer traveled into the future, saw the BMW E31 8 series and came back and said "I have a great idea!!" then put some creative flair so noone would notice later.  

That, or someone from BMW saw the Quicksilver and said "This, but refined"

In reply to DjGreggieP :

Now I want to see a BMW badge on the Quicksilver. 

In reply to Tony Sestito :

Give me a few minutes 

For some sick reason, I really like the car.  If those are real chrome bumpers...SOLD! 

According to IMCDB.com, just one appearance of a Zimmer Quicksilver: “Lockdown.”

Surprised one never turned up in “Miami Vice.”

Cool Honda, too. :) 

In reply to Colin Wood :

Looks like a 1980s Buick Riviera. 

Or, you could have just bought a Buick Reatta. (edit: I guess Colin Wood beat me to it.)

Which belongs with the Del Sol under cars that look like they should have been mid engined and weren't.

In reply to MadScientistMatt :

I could see that–kinda like an American Mondial.

How many body kits existed for the Fiero back in the day? It seems like there were several.

In reply to J.A. Ackley :

There were so many that I get surprised anytime I see a kit car that isn't based on a Fiero.

“Fiero with a body kit” is an official GRM-ism from way back in the day. 

In reply to David S. Wallens :

I whole heartedly believe in wide body kits for all cars. However, I think that the Fiero is such a nice looking car that I can't understand why anybody wants to turn it into a replica of some other car like a Ferrari Boxer or Lamborghini Countach. I think that these versions are HOT.

E36 M3. That looks GOOD.

Good enough for Hall & Oates, right?

As a former owner of a 86 Fiero SE this is an insult to the generally good looks of the Fiero and in the form presented here is the only car I have ever seen that takes the prize for ugliest car away from the Edsel. The fiero we had was equipped with the 2.8 v6 and 4 speed manual. Once we removed the front steering damper, replaced the factory shocks with adjustable Konis and cut one coil off the rear springs, the car's stance and handling were greatly improved. Was happy to own it for a few years before divorce ensued...and everyone knows how that ended. Badly. Decent car with the mentioned upgrades. Needed another gear and another 100 HP to be a great car.

The yellow wide bodied version pictured above shows what could be accomplished with some imagination and money. That thing is gorgeous...

In reply to livinon2wheels :

The yellow car almost looks like a glmpse at what a second-generation Fiero could have looked like. 

Man between the Fiero, Reatta and Allante, GM used to absolutely own the dead-end development street market. 

1990 Fiero design - look too much like a Firebird to me.

I did this rendering back in college (1988ish) on an Amiga 500 for an independent study project. I also made a clay model, but that's lost to history.

I may still own a real one eventually.
