The 20 Rarest Muscle Cars
![](http://images16.fotki.com/v300/photos/1/106521/3547978/flags-vi.gif?274148)
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.

Aloha Night Owl!
Yes! What's amazing is the reporting of Global Warming is crushed by snow flakes.

It's time to start dreaming of tomorrow. I'm flaking off.
In the news down here, there was an article bemoaning the absence of snow on Mauna Kea this year.....however the temps at the top have been well below freezing and the roads closed due to icy conditions.
Auwe!

Reading the whole story might allow the "moaners" to understand. Then again, maybe not.
Good night, Hawaii, and sleep well. Thanks for your service to America.

I still have to clean off my truck before work today. Otherwise the driveway's in pretty good shape. It snowed about another inch after I blew it off, but I wasn't going to do it twice. There were some knee-deep drifts just to make it interesting.
