I don't see anything unusual about the tank...probably someone making up the "rarity" fact. Does it still have the posts for screwing on the roundel? I can't see for sure...

They were never "rare", just always in demand and usually bring in good money.
Keep in mind the source of the statement. They have always been right at the edge of questionable.
Most of the old-timers know what I mean.

"Built for racing"? I thought they were built for long-distance touring and sidecar-pulling.

The tool box has very special hinges. They are in tact. I am not sure how that makes it worth so much.

Well, Duane they just are.
They are much more aesthetically appealing in mine an many others eyes.
They hold 24 liters instead of 18, and they have a miniature swimming pool built in!
But RARE?
NO.

I was commenting on the grammar, as in "in tact" instead of intact.
