Ill attach the option codes, I dont have the build sheet.
And I looked at the RPO decoder that you guys have here, but I know nothing, so I couldent tell if any of the options of the car were special or rare.

So if any one can maybe figure out what my 1992 Firebird would have cost new and maybe any special options it has thatd be great.

-Thanks, Tim

get a copy of the factory invoice.

That will tell MSRP. Who knows if the dealer had a sale or not though.

Around $15K +/-. Your car is equipped pretty much the same as mine. I have the window sticker for my car and IIRC it was right around there. Yours may be a little more since it's a year newer than mine.

The auto (RPO MX0) was about a $530.00 option so we're still around FYRCHKN's "$15K +/-".

Here is what I use for my camaro. hopefully, firebirds are similar.

select the year of your car and a list of options will come up with their respected RPO codes. Most prices are included
