Found a set of Recaro TA seats for 100$
They aren't too far from my house, they look to be from a 91,92 TA, and in pretty good shape. Are they rare in Firebirds?

They were in 82-84 Recaro T/A's, 83 Daytona 500 Pace cars and the 84 Anniversary T/A's as well as being an option on 85 and 86 T/A's.

Recaro Special Edition Trans Am (1982-1984) (On January 28th, 1982, Pontiac Motor Division (PMD) announced the specially equipped Recaro Trans Am in an internal bulletin broadcast. This package was only available on Trans Am's which were black with gold trim and had charcoal interior done up in Parella cloth. On top of all the Trans Am goodies, this limited edition included standard multi-adjustable Recaro front bucket seats (AQ9), standard T-tops (CC1), standard WS6 performance package (WS6), 4-wheel disc brakes (J65), limited slip rear axle a.k.a. positraction with 3.23 : 1 gears (G92), 32mm rear sway bar, 21mm front sway bar, stiffer springs & shocks, quick 12.7 : 1 steering box ratio, P215/65R15 steel belted Goodyear Eagle GT radials on Recaro-specific 15"x7" gold-painted turbo cast aluminum wheels (N89), and a choice of the 165HP Cross-Fire dual throttle body injected (TBI) 5.0 V8 engine (LU5) with functional cold air induction hood and a 3-speed automatic Turbo Hydramatic TH200c transmission (MX1), or the 145HP 4bbl 5.0 V8 engine (LG4) with a four-speed manual transmission (MM4). The Recaro option price was $2,968 with the LU5/MX1 combo or $2,486 with the LG4/MM4 combo. No other drivetrain options were available, though an original LG4/MX1 Recaro is known to exist. Special black exterior door handle inserts proclaimed "RECARO T/A" in gold lettering for identification. The Firebird logo and Pontiac lettering on the taillights was done up in gold paint as well. It was the best that PMD and Recaro had to offer in 1982. PMD said they would build "about 2000" Recaros for the 1982 model year. An official number has never been found, so the "about 2000" figure stands as the accepted total production numbers. Recaros represent less than 4% of the total number of Trans Am's made that year. "About 2000" Recaro Trans Am's were produced for the 1982 model year. In 1983 they made about 2500 and in 1984 they made 1321. 1983 and 1984 were made to order, so 1982 is really the only limited edition among the 3 years. The Recaro seat option was greatly amplified and marketed as the Recaro Special Edition T/A; the package content was quite complete and included specific graphics and other items both inside the car and out, including the first use of the famous "venetian blind" hood bulge decal.)
I couldn't a Recaro TA seat pic. I used to have a neighbor with a Recaro TA, but he's moved, and I never took pics of his seats.
