No Reserve: 500-Mile 1986 Zimmer Quicksilver

This 1986 Zimmer Quicksilver was delivered new to Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo of Portland, Oregon, and is said to have remained with its original owner before it was acquired by the selling dealer, Gas Monkey Garage, in January 2020. It now shows under 500 miles and is powered by a mid-mounted 2.8-liter V6 paired with a three-speed automatic transaxle. The Pontiac Fiero-based coupe is finished in white over red leather upholstery and features chrome bumpers, dual-exit exhausts, pop-up headlights, 14″ chrome wire wheels, wood interior trim, mouton carpets, cruise control, air conditioning, and a Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo. This Zimmer Quicksilver is now offered as part of the Gas Monkey Garage Collection at no reserve in Dallas, Texas, with a copy of its certificate of origin, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Arizona title.

The Zimmer Quicksilver was penned by former GM designer Don “D.A.” Johnson and was based on the Pontiac Fiero. The cars had their floorpans stretched 16″ at the Zimmer production facility in Pampano Beach, Florida, before custom fiberglass bodywork and chrome bumpers were fitted. This example is finished in white and features a dual-exit exhaust, a chrome grille, and a Zimmer hood ornament. The pop-up headlights can be seen raised in the gallery below.

The 14″ chrome wire wheels feature black centers, and they are mounted with staggered Pirelli P77 whitewall tires showing pre-2000 date codes and cracking on the sidewalls. The Quicksilver featured a fully independent suspension as well as power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes.

The leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel frames an 85-mph speedometer, a 6,500-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows under 500 miles.

The transverse 2.8-liter 60° V6 is mounted behind the passenger compartment and is fitted with electronic port-type fuel injection. It was factory rated at 140 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 170 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transaxle.

The Carfax report identifies the car as a 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE and shows no accidents or damage as well as history in Oregon and Arizona from July 2000 to January 2020.
