The tag on the door should tell you the manufacture date.  It might be on the RPO tag, too.
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

So... Of course there is lots of speculation that this will help to drive up the prices of "regular" Fieros.

I would tend to agree. It certainly has placed the Fiero squarely "front and center" in the vision of probably any collector who was there.
I probably need to buy another, before prices get really stupid. (Tammy said, "You could do that... But will you ever sell any of them?" I'm thinking that I would just leave that detail to her, after I'm gone. :D )

What are everyone's thoughts?

I've noticed a general up-tick in asking prices on FB, C-list, CarGurus, etc -- even though NADA seems to be depreciating Fiero values once or twice a year.  A $90K Fiero can only increase asking prices, which should increase sold prices. 

I'd enjoy selling my Fiero for more than I paid for it.

Personally, I never intend to sell mine and am likely to need a lot of parts to keep it running, so no advantage to a high priced fiero to me.

There is so little awareness of the fiero here there is probably close to zero demand and not far off zero supply either. 

Will be interesting to watch USA prices though to see if any impact at all.

True, but a more valuable car should also increase the number of aftermarket suppliers. In this case, parts may be produced that would otherwise be unavailable.

I’ll keep that in my prayers.

One of the first 5000 '88s?  04920
My yellow car is 01970. One of the first 2000 88's. My white car is 23038, a fairly late one.

We'll average them and say $45K  ;D

When my swap was done, the guy had a detail done.  The "detail" damaged a lot of things.  Things also went missing.  The RPO sticker was obliterated.

That's my hope.

MR2's have about doubled in value in the last year.  This is another reason why fiero's are creeping up.  Cant afford a mr2, get a fiero. Still cheap by comparison but seeing an uptick.  Decent n/a mr2 are 8k. The sc model has gone batty. The 80s are hot.
