Rare = money isn't always the case. Red is also rare in a 126, but few people like such a stately car in a kid color, ...

Most of the time rare means that nobody cared for it when it was first available, so they didn't make and sell many.

Still, sounds interesting, I'd like it because it's unusual and would take to modifications well. Is the interior black? Palomino? Mushroom/cream-beige? A mild tint-job and 17" AMGs would really fit that car's color/look IMO, as would a monochrome job on the grillework and door handles. Play with it in photoshop and see what looks good.

A friend of mine who lived in SoCal most of his career bought an ivy-green Carerra. The color was unique, looked good on the car, but not what I'd order (not available in the US, it was gray-market) but looked good. He explained to me that there were three other (911s) on his block, and black/red/silver were everywhere so he wanted one that was unique. Likely a similar story to your wagon.
