What's the rarest car you have ever owned??

1929 Oakland. probably wasn't rare in 29, but is now! 1950 Meteor sedan,1957 Meteor Rideau 500 2 dr hardtop
68 AMX, 68 Beaumont Sport Deluxe convertible. 1982 Buick Riveria convertible.

 

it would have to be our 59 rambler wagon that is in need of an engine rebuild

 

I guess my '29 DeSoto that is actually a '31 Plymouth.

There aren't too many '60 Starliners around either.

 

HAHAHA thats Rad!

 

Well,
It may not be the coolest here but it was rare (1 of 1036).

1974 GTO Hatchback with tent option and an automatic.

It also happened to have a rare interior option - red carpet and paneling with blk/wht striped seats.....(shiver).....yea. Kinda fugly, kinda neat. It also had the extra "Judge-like" stripe down the side (which was an option as well).

The interior and tent options were not tracked at an exact number so if you were going to split hairs it was even more rare than 1/1036, but I wouldn't go too far with that.


It was fun to drive - when the 4 barrel kicked open the shaker hood had a "butterfly" type flap that would pop open for a Ram Air effect - I just wish it had more power! I think if Pontiac had put the Super Duty motor in it - they might never have had to kill the brand...

Pictured below is an example - not mine (this one is a stripped down model but looks like mine in many ways).

 

dont have a pix mine is so rare ,its one of none,1912 oakland rdst. pu. oakland wasent in business yet but i have one......

 

Oakland started business in 1907.

 

Yes Doug but that knowledge IS rare!!

Even to some owners!!

 

That is one nice Bonneville!!

 

i'm not sure of the #s, but i had a 69 442 conv. w/air, bench seat and auto on the column, and a 68 camaro rs/ss 396 4 speed w/ houndstooth int. and fold down back seat, rear defogger, vinyl roof and rose wood wheel. sold 'em both cause of lack of space!

 

Have a 1971 Avanti II..they made 146 of them that year, only one with metallic copper paint and chocolate leather interior..kinda easy with Avanti IIs though as they were hand made cars made to customer specs..customer took it back to South Bend in 85 and had factory put in L96? Corvette engine replacing 71 Corvette 327....

 

The rarest car I have own is a 1963 Mercury Meteor 2dr. Hardtop!

It's the rare because it is one of three vehciles i have owned.

1.63 meteor
2.72 f-100 sport custom
3.98 jeep cherokee

 

I don't own it but I posted pics last year of a (I don't now remember) 1920 something Mort.

Ever see a Mort? The pics I posted where later stage restoration posts. I haven't been by lately to see if it got finished. They were built in Ohio for funeral home use. Big ol thing. Can't be more than you can count on one hand left.

 

Had a 64 Chevelle two door wagon back in the 80's!

 

1952 split window VW bug rare because this is a one year only car with crotch cooler vents in front cowl sides, also 1960 double door split window bus, had belly pan because of having two swinging cargo doors on p.side and d.side

 

67 camaro pace car



68 R code mustang (428)

I've got a 28 Graham Paige 614 too.

I once stripped a Triumph 2.5PI Mk1. They had the same engine as a fuel injected TR5. It was so rusty that it broke in half when I jacked it up.

 

My '59 Chevy Sedan Delivery is the rarest one I've owned.

 

A 1959 MGA, a 1952 MG TD, and a 1957 Plymouth Fury.

 

i don't know if it safe to admit you own an MG on here, much less 2

 

My 49 Lincoln Cosmopolitan. It's a slant back with a 336ci Flathead.(It's running a 460ci. while I work on the flathead) I have never seen another slant back Cosmopolitan in person.

 

Those are beautiful Lincolns.
Got pictures of it?

 

Only from the Junk Yard where I found it, Last year.
I don't have any "In-Progress" photos Developed, and I haven't taken it out yet.
Still too cold here in Idaho.

 

I have a 1955 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe Convert...they only made 43 of em...I wanna cut it up...

 

1963 Fiat 1200 Vetture Speciali, traded a beat up dodge pickup for it. loved that car... but absolutely no interchange or mechanical parts for it.


ironically enough, i traded up for a better dodge pickup (parts runner) and also got an '85 monte carlo SS for a driver (10 bolt posi, 305 thats actually maintained, and full cherry bomb exhaust).

 

57 Fiat TVR roadster. Aluminum body and 4 speed on the column.

 

TVR is a nice car, love the seats in those things! my Fiat just happened to be the lucky model between the TV roadsters and 124 spyders

 

1923 Zedel CI6 1 of 750

 

37 nash coupe, 62 SS 409 2-4'S -4 SP,
