91 GTA brake question
Hello to you all, I am a long time lurker and have possibly come across my chance to join the 3rd gen community again. I owned an 87 maroon GTA for about 5 years, but sold it after it was smashed into twice in one month.
I am going to look at a 1991 GTA on Sunday. It has the 350/auto combo and 123K miles and has drum rear brakes.
I'm sure this has been asked before, but my question is: How rare are the drum brakes on the GTA? I've only ever seen one other GTA with this option. Is it a delete option of some sort to save money on the sticker price?
Also, Are there any particular codes I should look for on the sticker while I'm looking at it?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Make sure the RPO Y84 is there, that is for the GTA option.
