Rare Recaro Trans Am?

Anyone know if an '86 Trans Am with Recaro interior group is rare? It's black with gold turbo style wheels, gold pinstripe and emblems. It has the LG4(dog)V8(cause the L69 was discountinued midway, and the Lg4 was the only engine you could get with the 5spd.) T5, WS6 performance suspension, posi 3.08, 4wheel disc. It has no power options, just great Recaro seats and performance sound stereo. Looks like a stripper for someone who wanted a sort of racer with the best interior without the weight. Looks like the 80's Bandit w/o the big bird on hood. Anywhooo I sold it and now should I regret it? I think it is rare I never see recaro equipped TA's

1989 Iroc-Z. 305TPI 5spd, G92 (230hp/300ft/lbs). 91-92Z28 groundeffects. Corvette Admiral Blue Metallic paint. Thermomaster chip, 160*stat & fan switch, Bosch +4 plugs, MAF screens removed, custom ram air, Flowmaster cat back, K&N, adj. fuel pres. reg.
72,000 miles. SWEET!!

Yes, I believe the Recaro seats were rare on a 1986 Trans Am. They were offered as a separate option, and were not a separate model as some of the earlier 3rdGens were.

That car sounds like it would have been a good candidate for a hi-po engine replacement and then up for some fun on the street.....
