Do you know any reason why what I call “the big three of DM Corvettes”.. this 65 Canyon Racer, the 68 Pro Touring and the 69 Owens Corning Racer seem to be rare and higher priced but not limited editions? Does anyone have any information on how many were released?

Those three did not sell as prolifically as the more usually-seen stock Corvette models did. So, lower numbers. The 1966 Sunoco Penske Racer & 1967 Corvette FSO followed close on their heels as non-familiar Chevies and garnered less sales than 'standard models' as well.
Thanks for all the information. Which leads to another question:
Did Danbury’s Mustangs such as the 65 A/fx and 68 Al Joniec’s Mustang and the DM entire “Pro Street” series across all the Big 3 suffer the same fate of poor popularity and slow sales?

Yes, exactly. While the more specific race cars sold well for DM they did not meet the same popularity sales numbers as the stock model versions did. And FM sold fewer of their NASCAR models than did the standard iterations. The '65 Mustang A/FX you speak of:
