<VV> Rarity and Value.

If there is only one thing I am completely confident of about the relationship
of rarity to value in the car collecting hobby it is this:   Rarity has very
little to do with value.

"Rarity' in and of itself is largely a function of the fact that consumers did
not order more of them (whatever they are) when they were new.  GM would have
done its best to build a MILLION Corsa turbo 4spd converts in special order
Fuschia if buyers would have wanted them!

On RARE occasions, a factory offers a special 'limited production' model and
does hold the number built to a few dozen or a couple of hundred but for the
most part that is because they are marketing something they don't think they
could sell much more of anyway!
