The 20 Rarest Muscle Cars
Among muscle cars, there always were a few that, for whatever reason were a little more rare than others. This list shows the rarest factory built production muscle cars. These are cars that ANY buyer could walk into ANY dealer and conceivably order. One off cars for company executives, dealer modified cars (Yenkos, Baldwin-Motion, etc.) and purpose built race cars (427 Cobras) are not included. Cars are ranked by total built by year, model, body style, and engine. Transmission breakouts are also shown, if known. Further breakdowns (by color, options, accessory) are either impossible to get or impractical. Note that by their nature, Hemi Convertibles are widely represented on this list. Convertibles represented everything that the typical muscle car buyer didn't want - a higher price, more weight, and generally lower top speed. Add to that the high performance (and high price tag) for the Hemi engine, and it is no surprise that Hemi Convertibles are the most rare of all muscle cars. In fact, throughout the Hemi era (1966-1971), Chrysler built 8,420,000 cars, yet only 179 of them (1 out of every 47,000) were Hemi convertibles. Truly, as a group, these were the most rare of the rare.

It always happens in winter.....I get free parking in the parking garage (no time to feed meters), but it is a 3 block hike to the courthouse. I just hope the sidewalks are pretty much ice free.

Good luck with your "mean" PT guy. Remember, he's "helping" you.

I am speaking about the popularity and personal taste. Frankly, Dodge was just never one of my favorite manufacturers. They're cars were just not that good looking, never mind reliable.

My blood pressure rises on the news of Global Warming but falls with the reality of the weather in the morning. It all evens out and I feel fine.
If Punxatawny Phil is right, figure on six more months of yellow journalism.
