And this ^ is the whole pivot point of this conversation.
There are many layers and levels of what a "collectable" car is.
If we are talking about investment or display only collectables then yes in deed rarity has a bigger impact on price. These cars are also always going to be high ticket.
If we are talking having a couple of cars around that you take out on Sunday then the need to be the rare version goes down a bit. Gonna' be mid range in value.
When we talk a "collectable" car that is also a daily driver (for at least part of the year) the rarity is almost meaningless and even that secretary spec Mustang is appropriate. These cars will only go down in value since they are racking up miles and wear.
You would have to be as much a moron to daily drive something like a 64 Mustang Shelby in the winter as you would be to put a 6 cylinder base in your museum and expect it to become valuable.
