I'll add one to this list:
A complete Hatch Pull Down Assembly for any '92 built late in the model year (the one with the fiberglass mount).
On the PITA scale to find - 10. I wish I knew why the GM wizards decided to change this thing right at the end. (maybe it's a 4th Gen part also ??)
Took me almost 4 months to find one. (Thanks IROCZ Dave)
M | Actually the later hatch pulldown came out towards the end of the 91 model year. All 92's should have that mount. I've got one in my 6cyl car. I like it since it goes up and then pops, but it likes to jam so it goes up and then back down on its own. If I push down on the latch before it starts to go back down sometimes it pops. It worked fine up until the last 6 months or so. | |

They might not have been produced in low numbers (in total) but they are getting pretty damn hard to find now. Stuff like:
- T10 4-speed Transmission
- Mechanical Clutch Linkage parts
But like I said... most of this stuff was never rare 10-15 years ago, but it certainly is now. | AGREED this stuff is hard to get | |

| Rare parts (personally, I think they're extinct):
silver/gray 'IROC-Z' rocker emblems
silver/gray 'IROC-Z' rear panel emblem
mint condition auto trans shifter plate ('85-'89)
I managed to refurb my two rocker emblems (which look like NOS emblems now ), and I practically stole a rear panel emblem for only $110. I told the seller that I was willing to pay several hundred dollars for one, but $110 was all he wanted. I finally managed to find a practically-NOS shifter plate on eBay for $75 after 4 months of searching.

I did that with my UX1 am/fm cassette w/5-band eq - a week and $290 later, I received a "brand-new" unit. The face plate was new, the display was new, the buttons/switches were new, and the innards had been checked/repaired/replaced as necessary.

Gold Iroc rocker emblems, 5.7 TPI emblems, gold rear bumper emblems......

| The rear panel '5.7 TUNED PORT INJECTION' emblem can still be had from the dealer...unless you're talking about the '5.7 TUNED PORT INJECTION' decals that go under the rocker badges
