Yes, it is, at least in part. On the other side are cars like 1965 Mustangs, 1969 Camaros, and even the Ford Model T, all considered collectible in the right configuration and circumstances, and all that were built in huge numbers.
Numbers built plays into it only if that means there are less of them than people interested in them. Extreme example, if only one person wanted a A80 Supra, then they wouldn't be "rare" because there would be plenty to go around.
There are examples of low volume cars no one wants, and high volume cars that are impossible to find.
