Is my 84 T/A rare or just another nice T/A

I recently purchased a 1984 T/A. it has 64,000 original miles and is in excelent condition. The car has been in storage for 14 years. I scored it for 2,500 because the guy was hurting for money. Finally I was in the right place at the right time and actually had money. My question is how rare is my car. It is a black and gold exterior, tan interior, L69 305, t5 5speed, it has 4 wheel disk brakes, and most every other option that I can see including t tops. This car also has the ws6 suspension option. I would rate the condition a 7 or 8 out of 10 as I know a 10 is a show car. Just trying to find out if this car is rare or not. Dosen't really mater because I love it. This is my second 3rd gen I had a 82 Z28 years ago and got the bug again. Thanks

Im not gonna get into the "rare" debate, but I can tell you that it is a desirable combo to have. I'm gonna assume that since its been sitting for so long that it needs some work, correct? If it's not mechanically garbage then you got it for a nice price. BTW, some pics would be nice.

Your car in mint condition is definetly borderline rare these days. Years from now it will be really considered a rare car. Just seeing a nice TA of your year is difficult, let alone a 305 H.O. which also makes it a desirable car. Keep it nice.

You got a steal.Black and gold is nice,you have good taste .Yes keep that car nice and stock cause 82-84 are rare year's for nice third Gen's not many nice ones around .Either crushed,modified or beat up.just by chance does your car have open headrest seat that says recaro?

The car was not just parked it was run every few weeks and maintained to keep up with it. I am doing some minor brake work and tune up water pump etc. just minor things that a 10 year car would need never mind a 20 year old one. This was his baby and I almost felt bad stealing it but he needed the money and I was more than happy to help. It is not a recaro edition I know people get defensive when you call a car rare but how many other early low mile 3rd gens do you see, Yes most I looked at are beat or have 350 swaps I plan to keep this car original because it is so nice. If I get a hankerin to drop a big motor in I'll buy a old beater to build a street machine out of. This car is too nice to cut up I don't care if it's worth 2$ or 20,000$ I'll probably die with this car in my collection.

Underneath the shaded box that you type replies into, there's a shaded area called "options," and underneath that you'll see "attach file." Click the "browse" button and that'll open up your files. From there, just click on the pic you want to attach. Then it'll be attached when you click on "submit reply."
