They're not common, but they're not unheard of. They pop up once in a while. They're not "worth more money" kinda rare, necessarily, but a factory 1/2 ton 454 is pretty cool. Maybe you can give us more info on what you are trying to figure out.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way in California....
