The 77 and 80 Special Edition TA's were crazy money. The sky's the limit on those cars. I think they are the most sought after 1975-1986 American made car now with collectors (1987 GNX's still pull a lot of money).
That 80 TA SE was so special because of the low miles. But it was only a few years ago that a guy was trying to sell a 1979 TA 10th Anniversary 400 4-speed (which was always far more desirable than any other 75-81 TA from a collector standpoint) with under 100 miles for $30,000, and there were no takers.
About 10 years ago, the Special Edition cars were selling for $15K-$25K, now fully restored or low mileage originals seem to get $40K or more, and the 10th Anniversary cars are still around $30K.
I bet Trans Am Specialties in Florida is jumping for joy. They have at least 25 Special Edition cars in stock at all times.
