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.

A Plymouth Belvedere with a hemi? Whose idea was that?
I almost bought a '69 Road Runner with a 383...but I decided not to when I decided to solve my draft board worries by joining.

The rarest of them all: Tom Wuensch's 1967 Pontiac Tempest.
Although registered and insured as a six-cylinder vehicle, this baby could accelerate from 0 to 100 in about ten seconds.
Unfortunately, it didn't last long with Tom in the driver's seat.

One of the finest cars I had was a 1971 Charger SE with a 383 magnum. 335 HP, not much in the 1/4 mile, but the top end was awesome. I traded a 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury to the local Dodge dealer before departing for Vietnam. My dad went down about six months before I returned and got a list of the options and sent it to me. I sent back the ones I wanted and the dealer had it waiting for me on my return. $4111.00 delivered.
