1981 Delorean

It's hard to quantify what's rare in the car world. To some people, anything less than several thousand vehicles produced is rare while to others nothing is rare unless it's less than a dozen. And when you factor in special editions and options...well, things get messy and there's gonna be a smackdown.

How about 7? Is seven vehicles produced with a special paint job rare to you? How about if the car is normally unpainted, with a stainless steel body? Okay, things just got weird.
