    This will get some interesting remarks for sure but its mine and I like it. I do have HAMB friendly cars also so don't be to hard on me. LOL
    This 1985 Chevy Citation x-11 is one of 1867 ever made it has only 23k miles and also the last year for the car. I get all kinds of smiles when I drive it its funny how many people remember them.
    :rolleyes:

    It's a very solid Florida car. I have all of the major items. I've rounded-up some brightwork better than the original that was included. It was apart when I bought it so I'm sure it is missing some parts. Original 262 engine with 3-speed non-overdrive transmission.

    I've never owned anything of real value, but: a shop I worked at restored a '57 Corvette that came to us with 24 certified miles on it (been sitting way too long and needed everything)! After it was all done, I put the final tune on it (dual quad 283) and took it out for its 25th mile. That was 5 years ago and I'm STILL grinnin'...

    1971 gmc sprint the gmc version of the elcamino its ashame it never caught on before i sold it last summer productin no were low.
     
  12. Rarest car i ever owned was a 69 Road Runner. Bought it because the car lot couldn't sell it because of a carb problem and the bozo running the lot didnt believe me when I told him I fixed that problem all the time. I bought it for $1350 safetied and fresh green paint. Fixed the carb calibration thing in about 1/2 hour , drove it for a week and sold it for $1750. It bothered me that it had power steering. Wish i had it now!
    In truth the rarest is probably my 1994 Dodge ram V10 which through a set of wierd circumstances is actually first V10 ever ordered from Mopar and carries order number ---0001 however i wont mention that here since it isnt Hamb worthy.

    theyre not really rare compared to others but either the 53 henry J or 64 amc rambler 770 all orig.
     
  15. I had two rare cars. The first I know does not sound rare, because it was a 1967 Mustang Fastback. It was a 390 cu.in. engine with a 3 spd truck transmission with console shifter. It had the deluxe interior with the overhead consolet with map lights. there were only 13 made with that combination and yes I miss it very badly.
    The other car was a kit car with a 392 Hemi. It was called a Kelly. It looked like a combination of a '50 Jaguar, Ferrari, and Austin- Heley(sp).

    1972 Valiant Charger 770SE 340. Chrysler Australia wanted to holomagate a 340 based Charger for the 1973 Bathurst 1000 (very presigious Australian motor race around Mt panorama) so they snuck in 125 340 Chrysler small block motors from the States and put them in special SE (special edition) E55 optioned Chargers. In June 1972 an article in a Sydney based newspaper began a series of events that canned the big three car manufacturers from proceeding with their 1973 season 'muscle cars'. The E55 Charger was placed on the show room floor with no publicity, and no advertising, only available in 3 colours mine is 1 of 40 Limelight cars. I still have her, not very HAMB friendly but there you go.

    Boner :)
