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.

I'll be back in a bit. Gotta' scoot and make an attempt at getting some work done! LOL!
To: Mrs.Nooseman
I have no idea. I even checked the names of the people in the To: box for "questionable" words. Go figure.
There are some words that I know will trip it up, but "mine" shouldn't be one of them. Who knows, maybe the rest of the page was really, nearly questionable, and "mine" added the 0.01 that put it over the top.
