Here, I'll beat you all to it:
Okay here they are! Keep in mind... I have not yet cleaned the exterior or the interior at all...
Front:
Side:
What the hell is this? A TA with the entire factory exhaust system? Since 1999 no one's changed it at all?
WTF? Where are the door panel cracks that should have appeared after 92k miles?
Wait! No dash crack either??? WHAT???
Leather seats in better shape than my garage kept, 30k mileage 2002 TA?
The good: Engine runs smooth, tranny shifts fine, brakes are new, and I'm loving the t-tops, very good shape, just look at the pics...
The bad: One rear taillight, a couple of light bulbs all around, need better tires, the notorious low coolant sensor is on for no reason, the passenger headlight probably needs the 180 mod or the brass gear, and the passenger window motor is showing signs of "about to ******* die."
Even the racoon leather on the shift **** showed almost no wear.
Too many signs here telling me it was treated nicely... Things like the exhaust and stock air lid seemed completely unmoved, like they had never come off... In fact, I'm sure of that.
Whaddya all think?

Very nice! She is a real beauty.
Here is the info on mine.
My '98 is still ALL STOCK, from the shifter to the single tail pipe.
No door panel cracks either. Over 120,00+ miles.

BMW is gone, 3KGT is still there, barely driven... I don't know if I'll be able to keep it now, which sucks because I just went through an ordeal restoring the exterior and changing the balancer and some belts to the point the car is now pristine.
Car looked like this:
Now it looks like this:
I really don't want to get rid of it, but my wife refuses to drive a stick. I wouldn't be driving it anymore with the black TA... Too much $$$.
If anybody's interested, let me know!

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
It looks like it needs the loudmouth I took of my car that a guy was going to buy and backed out on for $250. What's some of the info on the 3000gt? What model is it?
The 3KGT is an SL, DOHC V6 with all the options... Any interest?
OMFG, I hate these God forsaken headlight motors... In the middle of doing them to see if the 180 mod will work, and a damn bolt fell on the inside of the body panels under the car... It's dark as hell, and I can't see ****... Drinking a beer and going to bed. **** this, I'll wait until tomorrow morning. 
I did manage to flush/fill the radiator and replace the busted low coolant sensor.
Enough for one day.

^ If it fell inside the fender it should be easy to get out. If it fell in the front bumper on top of the support it might be a little tougher. If you have no idea where it fell I don't know what to tell you.
