Hello, I’m new to this forum and would like to share something I just read. Hemmings Motor News (Sept.2024) is reporting that there were only 216 built and of those, only 38 were equipped with a five-speed manual transmission. I did not realize how rare this particular configuration is and am now wondering how many are still on the road or being stored as a collector’s item. As a side note, I’m also curious how many were equipped with the G85 option - limited slip differential. Would love to hear from all 38 owners although I suspect that a few of these cars have passed on to the graveyard. Cheers!

Even more rare is the 2009 SS with no windows in the rear side panel, but has a rear seat and windows in the rear doors , option AA5 only 199 built
Theres a 2009 SS panel for sale in our market place, but it’s an automatic. Still a nice car!

Elsewhere very recently, an owner claims to have sold (in just a day or two, it seems) a 2009 SS Panel, G85, 20K miles. Asking price was $30K. No way of knowing the selling price, of course. But SS panels are climbing! Maybe not so much on AA5 because it's "just" an option, not it's own model. It's a distinction that in a rational world shouldn't matter, but this is car collecting.
