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

I worked with a gal that had one of those Tempo's, bright red all wheel drive V6 SVT. Never heard anything else about those before or since.

 

Did it have starter delete too? I know those seem to be an issue with them as well

 

Not as rare as a '58 Chrysler or DeSoto with Bendix fuel injection, but just try finding parts for a 1930 Dodge ...

 

Does a tr-6 count??

 

not sure if ive posted this yet, but one of my coworkers has a 40 ford 4dr convert. only 6 were made for the worlds fair and were supposedly all destroyed.... except 1.

 

A 1955 Chrysler 300"C" Experimental model with a dual quade ram inducted hemi .

 

I had a 57 Nomad and a 66 Chevy 2 SS. Wish I still had that 66 Chevy 2.

 

My 58 Edsel 9 passenger Villager.
There were less than 1,000 produced.

 

1960 El Camino. Not as rare as some of the stuff you guys have posted, but they only made 14k El Caminos in 1960.

 

far from rare, but. 70,000mile '74, type lt, 4 speed z28 camaro. no ac, black vinyl top, interior & paint, power windows. bought in high school @'93, still have it...

i also had an '80 z28 in high school that was black w./white interior no ac 4spd & 8-track, someone had put a 262 v-8 in it & headers/terrible excuse for a motor.

 

Rare and valuable can be two different things. My list of rare...

1) 1971 Plymouth Sport Fury GT (1 of 371)
2) 1964 Studebaker Daytona (1 of 2414)
3) 1993 Geo Metro convertible (1 of 3000)
3) 1964 Studebaker Commander (1 of 4374)

 

The ONLY FORD factory produced car with a SOHC (Cammer) in it. Made for austronaut Gordon Cooper. I have an autographed picture of him taking delivery and looking under the hood at the 2x4s Cammer. It was a Red 1966 7 Liter, 4speed Convertible from a barn in WI. Tom

 

64 chevell 300 two door wagon

 

A 1981 subaru station wagon...tan...I do not know of another single person that had one!!! Nor can you find one today!


THANK GOD!

 

'52 Willys Aero, sold it in 1958. Flathead 6 in a row. Rare now.

 

i bought my grandpa a 1962 mercury monterey s55 convertible, 1350 built
it was a barn find in montana 1000 bucks and one fun road trip to get it. it also only had 2500 miles on it.

 

The rarest for me, it have to be my 1940 Ford Deluxe... SLOPER!
I still own it,
I have also a 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe Ute
Both, Aussie made, and you can count on one hand, the ones that still exist .
Thats rare!.

 

How about some pics?

 

Nice cars! but then I am an Aussie car fanatic stuck in middle America.
Here are a couple of pictures I have gathered of 40 era Ford UTEs. I am working on a website dedicated to the OZ UTE.

 

This is an original 4 door 409 4spd car. The guy that has it now lets it sit outside. My brother-in-law knows the guy that has it.

 

Probably the 60 Chevy sedan delivery.One of 815 built.

 

A guy i know in my hometown here in Sweden has one of those to...:-/

 

Duece pheaton! don,t remind me.

 

My Uncle has one too.

 

I have owned 4 Facel Vegas. A 58 FV4 with a 392 Hemi, A 61 HK500, A 63 Facellia, and a 56 FV3B with a 331 Hemi. I currantly own a 37 Studebaker Coupe Express and a 36 Hudson Terraplane

 

1970 AMC AMX Big Bad Orange, 360 4 Speed. 4000+ AMXs in 1970. Only 122 BBO made that year. 836 70 AMXs had the 360. Not sure of the number for 360 BBO cars but not many. Bought mine in 1975 and still have it.



Also a 1971 Dodge Challenger Deputy ~2400 built.

 

I had a 64 Chevelle 2 door wagon. Was in a junk yard in N. Sac. looking for parts for it when I found a 65 Chevelle 2 door wagon and ended up buying that one for $300. I had paid $450 for the 64, 6 cylinder 3 on the tree. This was in the mid 80's. Ended up going through a divorce and sold them both at the Turlock swap meet in 85 for $650. Also had a 1956 Austin Healey 100/4 with the factory aluminum hard top. Naturally I wish I had all three back again. From what I understand 1600 of the 64 2 door wagons were made and only 600 of the 65 were were made.

 

I've been mulling this one over since this thread started. I've owned so many cars in the past 44 years. But I guess it boils down to my 37 Packard Super 8 1501.

 

1958 morgan plus4 sold it in 1976.

 

Not h.a.m.b friendly but a 1970 SS/RS camaro. 375hp, 4 speed, 12 bolt rear with 4:11 gears and a/c delete.
