Rare vs. demand. Always an interesting subject whenever somebody wants something unique, or to make a lot of money. I bought my '66 Starfire '77 (since sold) and have yet to see another '66 Starfire locally. Is this rare? Yes. Is it a desirable/high $ car? I don't believe it was even though it was the last year for this model until the mid '70's.
My '70 W-30 is 1 of 1032 4 spd 's produced. Is it rare? Yes. I have seen many W-30's over the years that pop up from who knows where at the local cruises. No authentication though. Are these cars desirable? I would have to say yes.
Narrowing my W down to a 4spd car makes it much rarer and more desirable. I knew a guy who had a 77(?) Vette. He was able to narrow his car down to just a handful that were yellow, t-top, leather blah, blah, blah. It came down to some inane combo of options that made his car seem rare. If you are able to pigeon hole a car down to where it was the only one that came with glow in the dark hubcaps and chrome muffler bearings, you can make any car seem "rare". But as was mentioned in the previous posts. Is it desirable though?
