While perusing the entries at a recent Fiero show, I noticed that many of the Fieros had been entered as the wrong year. Some of the owners thought their Fiero was a different year, some were an honest mistake, but I suspect 1 was deliberate.
What would anyone gain from this?
-
Apparently, no one else knows, either.

I don't see how someone can register their car and not know the year.
Falsely identifying it in a judged car show might give them an advantage in a particular class. When Auburn changed their car show to limit nothing newer than 84, it purposely (politics) cut out Georgia Fiero Club. It would have been of benefit for us to have identified all our cars as 84's in order to get into the show.

Auburn won't let us in the dang car show? When we're there for the BBQ I saw we make some trouble!! LOL
I can't see what anyone would accomplish by reporting the wrong year at a show, unless like Fierofool says they gain some advantage. It seems like the Judges would look at the year digit in the VIN to verify what they are judging.

It was a peer vote show.
There was also a people's choice award.

MikeMac, Georgia Fieros started the Auburn Car Show as part of their Independence Day and AuburnFest Celebrations. For years we were the only ones that participated. One year there were only 3 of us that displayed. None of the other local car clubs would come.
In my last few years in office, we started to get other vehicles entering and the shows were turned over to the Parks and Recreation Departmet. It was at that time, due to politics, they initiated the rule that only 84 and prior vehicles would be allowed. That may in part be because my oldest car was an 85.
Eventually, the car show as a part of those two celebrations lost participation and was discontinued, however a local club holds a show on 1 Saturday each month. We wouldn't be restricted from that one.

I've seen people posting all manner of incorrect years, for their CL Fieros.
I would have entered my Fiero as a 1967 model. 1967 Pontiac 2-seater. For politics.
