 What's your favorite Odd Ball muscle car? Example : Pontiac T37 Lemans, Olds Rallye 350, etc. These would be cars that were made and sold to the public without much public enthusiasm for them. I know there are a bunch of them and you guys are the best at figuring these things out. Should be fun. Have at it!

If I have to believe all the GM and Ford guys, just about every Chrysler, Chargers included! 

As much as they are loved here, I think the wing cars may fall in that category.

Chrysler 300 Hurst or AMC Marlin.  The Marlin reminds me of the 1st gen Charger and you seldom see them.  The Hurst 300 is very rare but value never went up.

That was never a factory option in the Gremlin. My friend used to have one with a factory 304, and a 3spd on the floor, and that was damn fast. We used to eat Mustangs and Camaros all day long with it.

I know of a 401 Gremlin here too, but it started out as a 6 cylinder car. In the '80's, a friend said when he used to have his '69 Roadrunner, he got smoked by a Gremlin with a 426 Hemi in it. That was in the late '70's I guess.

I LOVE the '70's Ford Falcon XBGT's (or the Cobra's). I think there is only 2 or 3 in the US, but I'd love to have one.

I did not know that... but i've never really pursued the issue either. I knew someone that had one and I guess I just assumed they offered it.

I think the AMC cars drove great, I just never got very enthusiastic about their engines probably because there werent so many speed parts around for them.nowadays I would love to have an Eagle wagon 4x4 with some older bigger AMC engine in it, but theres just two of those in my country and theyre not for sale for any reasonable price.
