I know an owner of a major restoration facility (who restores cars for many hollywood stars e.g. tom cruise) who personally owns a 1967 Bugatti. He told me that there are only 3 in the world, and that if it was sold, it would go for about 1.6 million! Must be nice.
I have also driven in (not driven) a 1967 Lotus...pretty sweet!

'69 Mercury Montego MX w/ 428-I. These cars weren't rare in the late 60s to early 70s; but, very few 2 door models had the PI engine. 'Got mine in '86 for 900 bucks with only 70,000 miles. Added meatier tires on 15in. wheels and a rear lift kit with air shocks. I got more attention with that car than even the L. I wish I still had her. She was a very bad girl.



By the way...That's the color I would Like to see on the L!

Here's a couple of pics of her. 1 of 100 built in Dec. 1965 for 1966. Built by Don Yenko of Canonsburg,Pa., for SCCA Roadracing.

They won the 1967 D-Prod. Nationals at Daytona in 1967 with one of these, running 145+ mph.

0-60 in 6 secs. in 1966.
2050 lbs. legal race weight.
220+hp.
This car is Yenko Stinger #YS-100. I still have her.

My SVO (not really rare...yet). Drove my Dad's '55 Bel-Air 4-door hardtop with a Powerglide and a Blue Flame straight six in my senior year of high school. Man that thing was SLOW... but built like a TANK! He's in the process of restoring it since he's retired now.

Back then I would have never thought I would want that car later on, now I actually have been thinkin about trying to buy it from him.

I guess the rarest vehicle i've ever owned was a
96' Dodge Ram INDY PACE TRUCK. They were limited edition made in 96 only. I don't remember the exact # but they made a few thousand....

Dad's 94 Indy 500 Cobra supercharged, and his 93 teal cobra, with 5.0 shifter and cam, and for some reason, the 93 seems to beat the 94, dunno why but the 94 should beat the doors off the 93.... may be the 2.5" exhaust or the sc not workin right

1979 Mustang pace car. I think 7000 were made. Traded it in many years ago. I also have a 1983 Jeep J10 pickup. I think 4700 were made that year.

Rare

I own two 67 Merc Cyclones.One 390 auto and one
390 4spd.My brother owns a 67 Ford Fairlane in which
has been in the family since new.My dad owned a 58 chev
impala 348 tri-power auto with power everything.He regrets
selling it.My cyclone GT auto is built to the hilt.Pushing over 500HP
it's a real head turner.It looks bone stock on the outside but the 310/320 split duration cam slapping in the headers tells you otherwise.Nothing like a built FE motor.The sound is like no other.I have a mildly built 84 turbo coupe which is my gas saver when I keep my foot out of it.I have a 93 slammed F-150 short wide box which is my current project.I am looking to build another muscle car if my wife will let me buy another.I want a 64/65 mercury comet/cyclone and turn it into a FX clone.I want the new 600 CI 600HP BB that ford has as a crate motor to put in it.I also want to build a 68 fastback mustang hybrid with fuel injection, digital dash, power seats/windows etc. for my wife.I am true ford fanatic with the blue oval in the veins.
