i have a '78 TA with a GM RPO SCCA code that apparently nobody's ever heard of. only dealers can de-code it... it has the Pontiac 400cid with 350 HP and 400 TQ out of the factory. it came with lower seat braces, bigger sway bars, dropped suspension, etc. i've never come across another one like it. i guess that thing's pretty rare.

Is this what people talked about back in the late 60's early 70's about thier cars? Mine is rare this and that. Is it such a big deal to have a low numbered car? Should we all vaccum pack our cars for the future? Whos gonna buy them? **** maybe finding a 83 Ford LTD with a 302 might be the thing in the future I dont think many of them were built.

However, a lot of the reason that many of the highly desirable cars right now are so expensive is because the people that had them had an attitude about them much like what people have about LT1/LS1 F-bodies now.. Oh, there's 10 bazillion of them, they're a dime a dozen, I'll just blow this one up and buy another one. Sooner or later there isn't going to be that many "other ones" to buy.... which makes the ones that are around and in nice shape that much more valuable.
Thankfully there are people like me who buy the less common models and stash them away so that 10.. 15... 20 years from now, there will still be an original, stock, low mileage, numbers matching car around for some collector to buy.
And if you don't believe that the color of the paint makes a difference, just take a look at how much more money a Brewster Green '73 Trans Am will command over a red one, or a white one.
