Replica and kit cars can vary widely in execution, but every so often you come across one that manages to capture the spirit of the original while offering its own unique personality. That’s the case with this 1984 Pontiac Fiero, based replica, designed and assembled by CK3 Design in Calgary, Alberta. Unlike many home-assembled kits, this example was put together in the CK3 facility, and the results show in the careful attention to proportions, stance, and details that give it a remarkably authentic look. Listed here on eBay, this Italian-inspired build offers a distinctive alternative to both stock Fieros and more common kit car projects.

The seller explains that this replica features an extended Fiero chassis, which allows the bodywork to align more closely with its exotic inspiration. The roofline was slanted back and fitted with a Chrysler Sebring windshield, an upgrade that helps achieve a silhouette nearly identical to the original design it mimics. Wide rockers, custom suspension with coilovers, and a wide-track stance give it the proper proportions, while a set of period-correct OZ Monte Carlo wheels (18×8 front, 18×10 rear) complete the look.

Power comes from a 3800 Supercharged V6 engine swap mated to an automatic transmission. The car is also equipped with an aluminum fuel cell, and the seller notes it runs and drives well, though exact mileage on the drivetrain isn’t known. The suspension and stance give it a more aggressive footprint compared to many kit builds, and mechanically it represents a far more capable platform than a stock mid-’80s Fiero.

Inside, the car has been treated to a custom dash with digital gauges and a flat floor in place of the Fiero’s original center console. A door popper kit has been installed for both doors, though the seller mentions the passenger side sticks and a new replacement kit is included. The headliner will need replacing, and while the air conditioning components are present, the cooling lines and control panel still need to be wired in. Similarly, the front headlight motors will require attention.

Cosmetically, the car wears a red paint finish that the seller describes as a “10-footer.” After a recent three-step buff and polish, it shines respectably, though a fresh repaint would elevate it to the next level. Even as it sits, however, this replica presents well thanks to its correct proportions and carefully considered design elements, which avoid many of the awkward lines that can plague less carefully constructed kits.

For anyone looking to stand out at a local cruise night, or for enthusiasts who want an exotic look with Pontiac reliability, this CK3-built replica is an intriguing opportunity. With some additional sorting, it could easily become a reliable weekend driver or showpiece, and its rare design and realistic stance make it a standout among kit cars.

Would you restore the remaining details to make this replica a near showpiece, or enjoy it as-is as a unique driver?
