    lee trans am 002.jpg 69 Trans-Am count? :eek:
     
  9. My 66 Hertz GT 350 (sold) and now my '40 Merc Coupe. I did have a '70 Boss 302 In 1973 but they aren't that rare. My 1980 GS 1100 might be pretty rare now. Bought it new.

    It's only 14 years old, but they only made 500 or so of them. It's a 1995 Mercedes S600 V12 Coupe. $140k MSRP Don't worry I didn't pay anywhere near that for it.

    Just don't monkey around with the electrics .They have a CANBUS setup which,if you so much as connect a sound system which feeds a spike through the car you will fry something. With two ECU's for cam timing and you can have one die on you, the other one will compensate and the result is bent valves as the variable cam timing does it's own thing.:eek:
    I first saw one in Moscow in the 90's. Black like yours. I went up to the car and was looking in the window when some big prick in a long black coat steps up to me,all muscles and shaved head.
    He opens his coat to reveal a machine gun hanging inside his coat...:eek:
    oops.Mafya,time to move on....:D:D:D

    Not really rare but I would have to say my 1957 Pontiac Chieftain. Compared to the number of 1957 Chevy's that are around, I guess it was rare.........

    1958 Cehvrolet Sedan Devliery, had it at when I was 18. Started out as a custom project with rolled pans, frenched lights etc... Never finished it. Should have just put a small block in it and drove the thing. I don't know how rare it was but I have never seen another one on the road just a few pictures in magazines over the years. Like every one, I wish I had that car today
     
  16. '56 Austin Healey w/ 283 Vette motor, 4 speed and Pontiac rearend. Very scary......
    (And for God's sake, don't tell the purists!!)

    Both cars are not HAMB friendly but here goes.. 70 Superbird 440 six pack 4 speed. Seats, carpet and top are original and untouched. Car was painted once but jambs, truck and engine compartment paint all original. car has 60k on it.. 74 Dodge Dart Hang 10 sunroof car.. only 11 made with the sunroof.. .. I am not a fan of 74 darts but the hang 10 is cool with the orange shag carpet and bathing suit material in the interior...

    I don't have to worry about that anymore. I have a full stand alone fuel management system. I had an ETA module go out and at $5800 for a replacement I laughed and bought a Megasquirt computer kit. I managed to pull out 12 computers and about 5 miles of wiring and the car runs better than stock. Haha! German Engineering my ass. Hillbilly engineering wins every time.
     
  25. Not a HAMB-friendly ride, but I owned this 1974 Lincoln Continental Executive Limousine by Moloney Coachbuilders for a brief period of time (one of three supposedly made):

    [​IMG]

    It was sitting inside a building for 20 years before I got it and was about to be torn down; the guy that owned it said if I could get it out of there I could have it. Got her running and limped it back to a buddy's house in first gear. Had to sell it soon after because his landlord was a douchebag; apparently he'd been receiving complaints from neighbors, which I don't understand because it was under a tarp BEHIND trees BEHIND a barn BEHIND my buddy's house, meaning you'd need to walk through his backyard to see it. Belongs to a guy in upstate New York now, but wish like hell I could have kept it for myself.
