Mine is a '93 original 5-speed Onyx Black w/ Ivory (tan) interior. There were 910 produced for 1993. Not the rarest but I've only seen one or two unmodified 5-speeds in the wild other than mine-- unless I happen to stop into a performance shop that specializes in 2JZ/1JZ Toyotas. 98-00 SC400's, 97 5-speeds and that Royal Sapphire Pearl exterior color are still the most rare among our cars.

If your trunk struts work, your car is rare.

Thanks.
How did the base price of a SC300 go up from $31K to 43K in a span of five years?

My trunk struts work, and my climate is not bleeding. However, my vents are cracked and my original needles died. I would say that all averages out to medium rare.
