My Ram Daytona is 1 of 11,000ish Daytona's made, but 1 of 955 in 2WD, RC, Go ManGo! form. Toss in the factory random Trac-Loc rear and I think some of the guys on another site and myself figured it's 1 of less than 100.

I assume this thread is talking about AI posters as opposed to AI poster's parent's uncle's friend's former college roommate.

If we're throwing relatives in here, my dad had a 1989 XJS Rouge Edition, IIRC it was 1 of 500 for the US market. Sweet rear end car, he let me take it to high school a few times.

Only car I've ever driven that actually attracted girls.

The rarest car of all

It was uncanny how much girls liked that thing. I dunno if it was the gold plated Jaguar hood ornament or what, but females on average seem to be drawn to the XJS.

Can't say I blame them, the XJS was a very sexy automobile. It took that long hood, short deck, low ride height formula to the extreme.

I remember reading somewhere that some math smart guy said there was some ridiculous amount of option variables to order the 1957 Chevy in.
Just because you could order a bench seat with a floor shift, ashtray delete with some crazy color combination that no one else would think to do doesn't make it 'Super rare!! Only one of two in the world!!!' it just means someone had an idea of the perfect car that not many people agreed with. Same with any car that you can build to order. The other day I PDI'd a base 911 with some woodgrain, light grey lower and tan upper interior. It was also fitted with a Burmeister stereo, clear tail lights, PDK and PCCB brakes. It was way more expensive than a base Carrera S but was just optioned up with a weird list of stuff. It's not rare, just oddly optioned.

The flip side of this is the oddly optioned American cars are the ones that go for huge cash at auctions today. Your point is right, but odd and rare are often the same thing.

1 of 1 Mod Top hemi 'Cuda. Hideous, odd, rare, and worth millions.

So, what are good ways to find out how many of X car were built for Y market with Z trim?

This is basically the only use car specific forums have, the limited edition Ram forum I used to post at basically had to threaten Chrysler with a lawsuit to get Daytona numbers published.
