"Rarity" is misleading in the way it is used on that site. It is not rarity in how you define a collectible, but rarity in the different combos of reported RPOs.
For example, out of almost 20k Firebirds produced in 2002, only 1242 had 5mph bumper impact labels specific to CA. Tell me the collector who puts that on his list.
On a side note, if you could have ordered your 02 Firebird without DG7 or C60, you would have the rarest vehicle according to that site. Then again, who wants a car without side view mirrors and A/C *****.

There are 1 2002 CAMARO 2 DR vehicles (0.003%) matching your exact options list. There are 1 (0.003%) with at least as many options.
The rarity of your vehicle is based on an exact match of your options for your year and model. BAM HOW'S THAT FOR RARE

You’re right, what that site calls “rarity” is really just rare option or RPO combinations, not true collectible rarity. While certain codes like CA-specific 5 mph bumper labels are uncommon, most collectors focus on overall production numbers, special editions, or historically significant features rather than a single option code. If you want to verify how rare a specific build or option combo is, using a VIN decoder service like Volvo VIN Report can help you check the original configuration, options, and production details to see how unique your vehicle really is.
