The question is not what it is worth, but what you are willing to accept, how long you can wait, etc. To the right buyer, who wants that exact thing, even a high price will seem fair, but that person may not come along right away. For a quick sale, ask $800, and it should sell pretty fast.
The couplers, custom paint, and the no-longer-made status are not clear-cut add-ons to the sale price, because not everybody wants the added features, not everybody will like the custom color, and RBW isn't exactly advertising the Rambouillet much these days. For some perspective, a friend of mine just picked up a coupled Atlantis, in a prime size, with custom paint, in nice condition. This was a complete bike, not just a frameset, and he paid MUCH less than $1600, incl s/h. Granted, this was an extra-good deal, but that is your competition. If I was selling this, I'd start it on ebay with a buy-it-now of $2200 or whatever you think is minimally extravagant, and to sweeten the deal and reduce the number of questions, I'd offer "free shipping in the continental US". Then I'd reduce the price a little bit every day or two, until you reach your bottom line or it sells.
