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.

Remember folks, the reason we are here in the FReeper Canteen is to honor our heroes - the members of the United States Military and their families - and to show appreciation for what they do for us every day.  Please remember to say thank you to them today!  As usual, check your politics at the door and let's have a good time!

You have to do jury duty? Man, what a drag. But, also a very serious job.
Get to bed Kathy Dear. You'll need it.

A day without tire smoke is like a day without sunshine.

Glad you're back and up and runnin'.

((HUGS))Good morning, Mrs. N. How's it going?

[BikerTrash]

My brother and I, (and a few other family members), just finished a '69 440 6-barrel Roadrunner clone. We started out with a rolling junk pile of a '69 Satellite. It came out real nice, my brother is very pleased with it. He has about $23,500.00 in it. It appraised almost double that.

I'll see about posting a picture of it if I can get one.

I tell you this because with a little elbow grease, some time, (they do take forever it seems), and a few connections and your dream can come true.

Unless you have to have a numbers car, then it can get quite expensive.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

I am doing great.
How are you doing?

[E.G.C.]

Doing OK. I'm going to do some washing of clothes in just a few minutes.

Nice weather here today. Forecast high near 70.

[Mrs.Nooseman]
