Every single day the Fiero is getting more respect as a collector car. By the simple fact that they are still on the road, people are seeing tem less as a troubled car and more as a "Cool" car. People are also spending much more money fixing them up, than they did in previous years so you don't see nearly as many rattle trap cars on the road. With the exception of "Project" cars that are being driven out of need. The average owner is now older and has more disposable income to play with the cars. Hence why when the club started we only had 1 engine swapped car in the club and that was because he was a business owner that sold V8 Fiero kits. Everyone else had stock everything cars.

Owners are changing, like even you Brian, when you first got the car it was, "Hey this is a fun nice car and am going to make it really nice" 6 months down the road, Hey this is a DAMN FUN CAR TO DRIVE, and you wanted more speed so in came the new engine, rebuild trans, new clutch new suspension then you started racing it and found out it was competitive, and wanted even more stuff.

If you were 16 making minimum wage that would not have happened, you would have just drove it until it blew up or you ran it into a tree, all the while dreaming of doing all your mods.

So back to what I am saying. These cars are in the hands of people that can make them look nicer now. The public see's all these nice sporty 2 seat vintage cars and does not see a firetrap unreliable disposable GM car any longer.

This is making the value of the car go up year by year.
