Not very rare. I own one and my brother owns one. I've seen quite a few around.

there are actually about a zillion posts about automatic transmissions.
we found them helpful when we were looking. we have an automatic and think it's awesome. no problems we've found compared to anything else. you'll find that a lot of time the people who poo poo them are people who have never even owned one.
i wouldn't let the fact that it's an automatic scare you off.
good luck. Smile

I have a 78 automatic in my 72 and wouldn't have it any other way. If the automatic is set up properly they are bullet proof!
