84 Trans Am. Is this car rare?

I was looking on CL and saw this. Is this as rare as the ad says?

I thought I would post it for discussion and if someone is looking for one of these.

Yes, he's right. It's an '84 15th Anniversary Trans Am and there were only 1500 made. It looks like a nice car.

Re: 84 Trans Am. Is this car rare?

I used to own one. I almost had one of the 500 5-spd cars but the guy who made me drive to Phoenix to pick it up totally lied about the condition but I found an auto for sale on my way home!!! I had a group purchase on the last of the original RECARO fabric on my old web site back in the day too.

I'm definently going to own one again, maybe soon.

It's a VERY difficult car to fully restore if not impossible due to certain parts being so specific and hard to. I will be buying a mint condition low mile example because of this reason.
