He is not the only one to claim to have a V6 (229 i believe) with a 3 speed floor shift , found others on the net that claimed to have the same combination.

I would think "rare" would be in the eyes of the beholder on this one, Donny. Perhaps there were only a limited number of this combination produced. The point is, who cares? Is this desirable to the buyer?
