The rarest car I have ever seen is my grandfathers 1 of 1 numbers matching 1968 Hemi GTX with a 4-speed. And he is also the original owner of a 1967 Coronet R/T number matching 440 4-speed. Now those are two of the rarest cars I have seen.  :icon_smile_big:
When your Charger is sideways, just give it more gas!

was out driving in western Indiana and saw one of these. Not really rare but is in Indiana. 

Couldnt get a picture of the car but it was this model and color.

         
68 R/T LL1
under restoration for the last 25 years

Was looking for a car in 1984. Guy working as a temp where I worked heard about it and asked if I'd be interested in a Mustang ragtop. I really wasn't but he said I should come take a look.

In his back yard under a tarp, rusting away....1968 Shelby Cobra GT 500

$1200

I wonder what the story behind that is.

I was at an estate auction a few years back in sticking out of one of the barns was a mid 80's Cadillac.  No biggy right ?  Behind the Caddy was what looked like a kit car covered in boxes and pigeon crap.  Upon closer inspection, I found it to be a '74 Pantera.  Sadly, the car was not part of the auction.

I was 17-18 years old living in a small town in Iowa. I heard a local guy had an original S/S car. One night I asked him about it and he took me to his house. Opened the garage...63 Dodge aluminum front end three speed MW. Said he was a racer at the time, had a connection to the factory and bought it for $1.

We've got one of those in the barn, A farmer down the road was going to cut it up to build a trailer. My mom and stepdad gave him an old pickup bed trailer that we had and a little cash for the truck (Just because my stepdad had never seen one before) 3 hours later we had it running, and somewhat stopping.... Turns out they only made them for three years.

  I bought a pickup from a guy once back in the mid 90s who had a # matching 69 six pack gtx behind his garage. one of my X girlfriends dad wound up buying it (this was before i met her). he passed away a few years ago and his family sold off pretty much all of his collection.

You mean Road Runner?

I suppose a few but not sure which was rarest.  A 68 Hemi Road Runner or TA Challenger possibly?

I don't have no pics, but I live about 15 minutes away from Stephens Performance. He used to have the remnants of a 69 Daytona sitting out front for years, but it is gone now.
