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!

Yoda and....whats-it's-name.

Jar-Jar Binks. The character Star Wars fans love to hate.

Cars were so great "back then" that bands made love songs about 'em.

I love all the SW movies. Hayden Christensen is really cute. LOL! I really like Sci-Fi like Star Wars and Babylon 5. Just finished watching Season 1 on DVD. Jerry Doyle rules! LOL!

Oh, no! You're a clone of my Step MIL! She loves those British period dramas.

You'd have to ask my Grandmother in law. LOL! I live in California and all it does here in the winter is rain.
