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.

VikingSkull posted: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. This is definitely true and seems to hold mostly for muscle cars more than anything. I wonder where the trend started. With euro cars it's usually racing pedigree or the engine or the fact that it is one of three built is some crazy Italians garage. With American cars it can be similar but weirdo options definitely bring a premium. I would totally drive that 'Cuda. In fact if I ever get a car with a vinyl roof I am going to cover it in that material.
