Is this a rare weave pattern? I have several graphite chassis and this is the only one like this I've ever seen, anyone else have this weave pattern?

Here is a link to the 25 years of the RC10 topic. Regarding different weaves on the graphite cars.

Scroll down a bit from where you end up with the link....that top pic looks like your weave pattern but turned on a 90°. How rare is it? No idea.

I haven't been at this nearly as long as others, but I have noticed a lot of rare parts from Associated. They seem to have changed a lot of variables during manufacturing so you can find many of the same parts and the same number with different appearances.

While it may be rare and hard to find I have yet to see one that is truly sought after. You won't be damaging a vital piece of history if you turn it into a runner and take it around the track a few times.

Yeah production variation was pretty constant. I'm sure it's a less common part, but hesitate to say it's worth more or less than any other graphite chassis(other than the very late version that was shaped differently). If it's in great condition, that is where the value lies. Otherwise, run chassis tape or a piece of lexan on the bottom to protect it when running.
