1986 Pontiac F50 Listed For $30,000We did a serious double-take after running across this 1986 Pontiac “F50” listed for $30,000. There’s a lot to take in with this interesting build and the ad that lists it for sale. Overall, we wonder who would pop out that kind of cash to own such a unique ride.
Newly constructed bridge has a nearly 90 degree turn.
Obviously, this is yet another Pontiac Fiero made to look like a Ferrari. While it doesn’t nail the F50’s proportions perfectly, it does a better job than other conversions we’ve seen in the past. If you’re wondering what’s so bad about driving a Fiero that looks like what it is, this thing obviously isn’t for you.

The seller says all the bespoke work cost over $60,000 to perform, and that’s just parts and materials. It sounds like the guy did all the bodywork himself, spending over 7,000 hours toiling away on this thing.
While we can appreciate this was likely a labor of love, we wonder if the market will value it to the tune of $30,000. While it apparently has won awards at shows, the thing is a little rough.

That could mean all sorts of things, but we bet if you’re really interested in this ride the seller would be more than happy to explain in detail.
But would you spend $30,000 on this build? Would you talk the guy down some? Or is this a hard pass?
