Just sayin...

 

JMO but I feel that this may be where rarity and desirability diverge. Its a weird combo but can't be that fun to drive

 

Again, I'm not trying to bust anyone's chops, but rarity does not equal value. Some things are rare for a reason, like Cutlii with three on the tree and Pontac Azteks...

 

If my info is correct from the GM Heritage Center, only 267 Diesels were built with the 5-speed. It was from a book that Helen Early used so it's not documentation but rather a sheet she prepared so I can't vouch for its accuracy. That's out of a total of 38,672 Cutlass Diesels.
