If it were a dodge with a one of one unobtanium air in the tires it would be a million dollar car.
I have several motorcycles that are one of only a handfull in the world. They are still valued 100 times less than a comparible Harley or Indian, again of which thousands were made.

I think you are both right! There has to be the desire or how rare it is doesn't matter. An AMC Gremlin with a Levis interior and green exterior may be rare, but without desire, it's worth nothing as it should be. Now take a Pacer, which is not really much different than a Gremlin, and make it a centerpiece in the movie "Dumb and Dumber", and now you have the desire. That Pacer that was worth scrap value of $400.00 is now worth 24K or more. So I believe desire drives the price initially of the car model, then rarity within the model takes it to the next level.
