"Rare", no. Uncommon, yes.
The Continental can be a pain in the butt on many levels, even if running properly. It's not a terrible engine or anything, but it's pricy to fix correctly. It's not an engine anyone wants to be working hard on a daily basis because of parts availability and parts prices. It doesn't have the lugging ability or power of IH's gas engine, either. Economical on fuel, though. Utility steering setup isn't great either.
I'd say that the loader falls into the slightly more uncommon than the tractor but not rare area, too. That loader probably could have went on the gas 300-350U's and 330's too. Heck, the loader possibly might even be roughly as common or more common than the tractor. The backhoe may be "rare" if you choose to label it as such.
If it's not running with a patched block and complete, $1200 would be the high end in my book. Everything other than the engine would have to be pretty decent for that kind of money, too. If the hoe and loader are welded up, the price would go down quick. Steering would have to be tight. Tire condition unless near new or bald/junk doesn't add or take away as much value on a setup like this as it would a tractor you would go do fieldwork with. It's good for digging holes and filling them in, light loader work and light lifting, but not much else unless the hoe gets pulled off, and that's not a simple job, either.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
