Default How rare is my 964?

I know this will be speculation but thought I'd post to get better educated guesses than mine.
My car is a MY 91 C2 coupe Tip in mint green. Starting with that for curiositys sake I started to get a guess. I found where a list of sources say 1608 C2s were imported into the USA. I then came across an estimation of how many C2s had the Tip trans in them and it was guessed at 12 to 15 % had the Tip so that would be roughly 200 C2 MY91 with the Tip. I then looked by color and found an estimation of 90% of them were black,red,white and silver the other 10% other colors. So that would be 20 C2 Tips other colors brought to The USA in 91. Given there were approximately 14 colors bedside black,red white and silver and pts colors how likely is it that my car is possibly the only C2 MY 91 Tip coupe in mint green imported into the USA in 1991? I know this is speculation but please speculate away I know there are many many very knowledgeable members THANKS TO ALL

Rare doesn't necessarily equate to desirable

Green and a tip is rare. But desirable? If you have several buyers, I'd be selling to the highest bidder. Is one named Kermit, by chance?

Actually, if it's the dark green in your avatar, I actually like it. But a tip? Oh boy.

Enjoy your rare car

She was painted blue I'm going back to mint green Mr Goofball and I never asked if anyone thought she was desirable just if she was rare.

That's a great color. Post up after it's back to mint green.

Wow, that mint green is fantastic! I stand corrected.

I still don't love the tip, but she's a keeper for sure

Mint green is a killer color- please re-post after paint.

Putting a proper manual gearbox in that car won't cost an arm and a leg either. Then you'd have one really special 964.

Default Not sure

Not sure how this thread turned from the intended question about the possibility of my car being rare to a discussion about Tip cars. The original question was did anyone else think it was possible for my car to be the only C2 coupe Tip in mint green MY91 imported to the good ole USA.
