I think there used to be a red Fiero displayed somewhere up inside that big ball in Epcot Center. You would pass it on the ride you take thru it but I wouldn't think there would be anything all that special about it. Not enough to warrant character name paint colors.

You joined up just to post a 'For Sale' ad. Your post count is no where near high enough for the members to have learned who you are and trust you. You list your location as simply 'America' but the grammar/wording in your posts seem to indicate that English is not your primary language. This all points to being a potential scam.

From the one pic you posted, the car seems in decent shape but, like R Runner said, we need one of the history experts to say if this is a real thing.

I doubt if any Fiero that was at a different place in a different time would bring big dollars. This is just a run-of-the -mill automobile. Does anyone really care where it was exhibited? Over 137,000 Fieros were built so it is not a rare car unless it was a documented prototype, produced in small numbers, has an end of production VIN, or some rare features.

I mean you got to keep in mind that this was a Disney giveaway in 1985 and this was painted by Disney themselves, maybe just a red bumper however there are stitches inside of the passenger glove box (pocket) were they have the Mickey mouse logo suit in and the car was just barely rebuffed with its original paint

My understanding is that Minnie put a pair of her panties in the dash pocket. Did you find them?

Respectfully, this is just a run of the mill red 1985 Fiero 2m4. It seems to be missing parts too, like the center cap and even the sail panel insert. So, I have to assume the car has some miles on it, and based on the fact that the front-end has been bumped into a couple of times (chipping paint), it probably has like over 100k miles too.

I don't know what you're asking for it, but assuming it runs well and doesn't need anything, it's probably a $4,000 car.

Even if Walt Disney himself signed the map pocket, it would still be worth $1,500

Find a John Delorean signature on it somewhere and we might show some more interest.

The part that matters is that there are only two cars that were officially given away that was the Minnie mouse Pontiac fiero or the Mickey mouse Pontiac fiero
The Minnie mouse was privately sold....

Ok, I want to be helpful, so here is what I would do:


1 - I would try to clean up and fix the car up as much as possible. Right now, as I mentioned, it's missing some parts. Replace the missing center cap, etc.. I would also try to fix / replace the sail panel (the insert seems to be missing). Anything else you can do on the car to clean / fix it up, I would do...

2 - I would get as much information as you can about the Mickey / Minnie car as you can. That means pictures, a news article, anything you can share. For the record, I just searched the internet (casually) and could find absolutely nothing about it. Are you sure this is a real thing?

3 - Because the car is a 1985 model year, it's still eligible for the Pontiac Historical Services documentation service: https://www.phs-online.com/. This can get you all the information you need on how it was sold / configured, and to what dealership it was sold (e.g., in Orlando). This can help reinforce your point.


As it sits right now, if it runs well... it's probably a $4,500 car. With what you're saying, if you can get all that information and bring it from a 6 to an 8 in condition, you can probably get $7,500 from a very Disney-obsessed inclined person.

There aren't many of those here on Pennock's; however... and I live an hour away from Orlando.

Thank you very much for this information I'm going to try and find articles and documentation and more
If I remember the private auction that was sold over at Minnie mouse poniac was over $100,000
The only problem is that the auction was private....
This may take me a couple weeks as I am very busy but I will find information on this thank you for the advice

That makes about the same sense as offering only a few friends an opportunity to buy it.

Though, their is a Disney Fiero.

Respectfully, I think you're trying to con people on here. A high mileage and sun-weathered Fiero would not command $100k simply because it was a Disney give-away. Many famous people have owned Fieros, and they don't command anything. Marilyn Manson's Fiero sold for like $1,000 bucks. The very last Fiero to roll off the assembly line, which is totally loaded with the signatures of all the factory workers... even that didn't go over $50k (someone correct me if I'm wrong). There's no way you're going to get anywhere near that.

I'm sorry, not trying to be mean, but this is getting silly.

There is a Mickey Mouse red color. F60000 (~Red).



I am not buying it either Todd. Just trying to be silly.
