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

I had for a brief time last year, but had to sell it, a 57 Packard Wagon...thing was cool...wish I still had it but had some major bills pop up due to a medical emergency...sold it to a nice guy in Colorado and the transport company he hired to get it there effed up the tranny and did some body damage...felt really bad for the guy

coming soon: rodtees.com

 

Well in 1977 I had a 1938 REO speed delivery. looked kinda like a 38 chevy pickup, 350 with a t/400. I've never seen another one. Does that qualify as rare? Damn, wish I had it back!...TKO.

 

Probably my daily driver Fusion Orange Pontiac Aztek.
I did have a '71 Ford LTD convertable.

My dad on the other hand had a Late 70' Camaro z28, 302 4 spd car.
He also had a AAR cuda and a GTO Judge. Not all at the same time, but he sure wishes he had those back.

 

They didn't say the ugliest car you owned......

 

Does a one-off home built count?

I got this one about 70% done in high school.

 

Any car you didn't have to either sell, or give to her, in the divorce?

 

I had both a '35 and a '36 Chevy Suburban Carryall. Production under 200 for each.
Probably less than 15 total survivors total for both years together.
I also had a '36 Chevy Produce truck with the canvas sides.

 

That's why they're rare. Nobody wants the ugly things.

 

lmao

 

1965 Z16 Chevelle , 1965 AC Cobra (CSX 2549) with an automatic , 1967 Ferrari 275 GTS + 4 GT 350 Shelby Mustangs

 

Rare for me was a 1 owner 55 2 door 210 with a 6 and 3 on the tree. Top speed .78 mph at Tx Motor Speedway ! Like a dumbsh-t I sold it to a guy 3 years ago who dropped a small block in and painted it Black.

 

out of all the cars so far ... it's gotta be this little german bastard -


it's a 1959 DKW Universal
3-cylinder 2-stroke, front wheel drive, suicide doors .....
i've seen a few sedans and wagons like it , but not too many in the states left.<p> So i would have to say medium rare ?


<p><p>

 

57 Pontiac custom Safari one of 1292 built. Still have it.

 

the rarest car i have/have is a '65 mercedes 300se, not that rare but they only made like 6000 or something. I also had another rare one; a daily driver flathead six car. ('50 desoto just rare because it ran, was a flathead, and a mopar)

 

The rarest and coolest car I ever owned is my 32 Ford Panel Delivery. There only about a dozen left out of about 1100 built in 1932.

 

1984 Ford Escort!

 

Had a J2 Allard (331) back in the mid 60s when nobody knew or cared. Also owned the 12th Excalibur that Brooks Stevens ever built....when they were still on Stude frames but ran SBCs. Mine was automatic...and get this it was an FMX trans - used an adaptor made by Checker Cab company because the FMX was such a "toughie".

this one belongs to Peter owner of the old ford store in tucson

 

Great cars guys! here are mines:

The chevy is a 33 master eagle cabriolet, 3300 was built, not many left! Sold it recently.

The Ford is a 35 3w sold new in Sweden, was standing in the dealers werehouse waiting for its new owner when it was beeing picked out by the forddealers owner famous Swedish racecardriver Franklin Eck, his mission was to enter it in the rallye monte carlo only because the specially built ford racecar that was going in the first place was beeing stolen a couple of weeks before the race,
So my car was choosen instead, got repainted the same colourcombination as the racecar (green body, yellow fenders) and went to the rallye where it came in 7th total and first in its class. (1936)

Franklin Eck is not in this life anymore but his son Franklin Eck jr is still around and has told me alot about this car and his fathers racing during these early years.

The car will be restored to its former glory as a rallyecar, hopefully in time to its 75 year anniversary in MC 2011, plan is to drive it in the historic rallye.

Maybe not as rare as many others but enough for me

 

not old or with as much character as these cars, but a 1991 syclone.

 

1954 mercury sunvalley sold new in sweden.Ragga bra!

 

Sweet! I own a 86 T Type. There is a local guy with a Syclone, saw him beating up on a T/A at a stoplight once, awd launch is awesome!

 

Rarest car i ever owned must be the 1950 Chevy Convertible i had 6-7 yers ago. There where only four 1950's ragtops in Sweden at that time. And a funny thing was that in the 8 level house i lived in at the time there was a dude on 1:st floor that had one of those ragtops and i lived at the 4:th floor! Pretty amazing how it can be sometimes? Really regret i sold that old Rag.

 

I suppose it was my old 39 Graham...not a supercharged version tho.

 

Here's my list.
My first car as a teen, 1955 Chevy Nomad, one of about 8,000. A rust bucket that was saved by the guy I sold it to.
I sold the Nomad to purchase my '31 Vicky rod. One of about 40,000, it is now considered rare, but here is my current driver.
I am on my second 1992 GMC Typhoon, one of about 2,000. I ran up the miles on the first one, and bought the current slightly used one in 2000. It now has just under 60k miles.

 

1970 Plymouth Satellite convertible. 318. Automatic. It was yellow. With a black top. Never mind.

 

I guess mine was a hurst rambler scrambler ,or my first car an a12 69 road runner six pack . sold both for a pair of six pack cudas .still have em so it dont sting to bad .c

 

Well, 1906 Stanley Ten Horsepower cars weren't all that rare, but this one with the surry top was pretty rare.

Have you heard the term "Blowing off steam?", well that's exactly what you did at the end of the day, emptying the boiler. When it cooled overnight it would siphon itself full again from the onboard water tank.

It got about on mile per gallon of water, and about 10 mpg on the fuel which was naptha.

It took about 25 minutes to steam up and get underway.

 

The rarest I had was a 1972 Heavy Chevy Chevelle.402 big block ,th400,12 bolt rear,one of 2172 made in 71/72.Bench seat,column shift and rubber floor mats,basically a budget version SS!

 

64 1/2 Ford Mustang 6 cylinder little tires 3 speed.

That was a nice car, like an idiot I gave it to my older brother
