<VV> Fiero a collector car? (no corvair)

FYI They made 5643 Formula-optioned coupes (yes, it WAS an option, like
the '62-3 Spyder) and 6849 GT models in '88, along with 13,910 standard
coupes. Total of "only" 26,402 cars that year, which is, incidentally,
more than Corvette produced. (G)

If anyone is interested, I wrote a little pocket-sized 80 page book
called the Fiero Spotter's Guide. In it there are RPO codes, VIN's
decoded, option and production figures, model differenciations (a page
for every model in every year) and much more. I sell them for $4.00 plus
$1.00 shipping (single copy cost, bulk orders on inquiry) to the US and
Canada (in US funds) and even ship overseas. I tell people to send
orders to: Fiero Spotter's Guide, 5474 S.R. 19, Galion, OH 44833.

I always thought that that was the coolest Fiero ever made.  GM put $30 million into the suspension of the '88 car, finally got it right, made (if I remember correctly) either 6,000 Formulas or 6,000 '88s, and then cancelled it.  I can still remember the day I heard they were cancelling production.  I was so bummed!
