Do you have a rare car?

[Pliablemoose]

96' G20 Chevrolet van with a naturally aspirated V8 diesel.

I had to special order it, have only seen 1 other one, have taken it in for service X2 & the Chevrolet service guys just freak out-"I didn't even know they made those."

A little late getting in....How about a Marina Blue 1970 LS6/TH400 equipped Chevrolet Chevelle SS. For those of you who don't know, the LS6 was the 450HP 454. It has the rallye pack dash and cowl induction. The car is stock except for the engine which has been rebuilt by Lingenfelter speed and marine with a 1/4 inch stroker kit @ .060 overbore which equals 496 cid. This automobile is frightening!

hmm now my mom has a 1999 Range Rover Callaway (#128 of 220). Guess that would be rare...

Too funny. I had one with the factory 5.7 (350). Had it stored at my folks for years. Then I learned there was a difference between rare and valuable. I let them give it away because it was becoming an eye sore.

Rare? Yes . . . 2 - 1976 Mazda Cosmos . . . RX-5 (13B) .. . .

and pics are available as they are for sale as a project for restoration . . .

***PICs** Start here - they are badly in need of restoration.They are for sale (coincidently) and there are 2 more pages of pics.

I'm posting on a lot of Mazda enthusiast sites. Only 1,800 Cosmos were imported into the USA from 1976-78. . . . there are very very few left and they are prized for racing.

My car is #212 of 500, beat that for rarity (yeah, I know there's a bunch of cars with lower production, but I'm sure not too many people here have a numbered car! )

Probably not rare -
White Honda Prelude SH.

Only posting 'cause I've only seen 2 SH models on the road since I've owned it 4 years.

Ooo. I had a 1965 Triumph TR-4. Loved that car. Sad to say I was separated from it. I do have a 1983 Chrysler Town and Country wagon. Now, not too many of them around these days although I don't think you'd call them "rare."

Come to Toronto. We probably have hte most amounts of Preludes in NA. Almost every other car you see is a Prelude!

I used to think the most beautiful car in the world was the Austin-Healey they made in the 50's. Haven't seen one in a LONG time. I can picture your dad's MGA, though. The bodies of those were pretty standard for years.

I own a 93 Camry - I'm the only one within a two house vicinity that has one.

I had a '64 TR4a . . . lot's (and lots and lots) of "maintanance" . . . but really fun to drive in the "old school style" of top-down roadster/sports car.

I have heard SH stand for many different things, what is for exactly?

I did have to have the trany rebuilt a couple of times, but other than that, I don't recall a lot of maintenance problems with the '65 TR4. Had it until 1973 - 8 years. Convertible, red. Drove it like a maniac for the first year or two but then decided I wanted to live and toned it down!

hey, WinkOsmosis, just curious, did you do anything to your car? (aftermarket performance-wise)

I actually have the same car, (s14) except I got the S14 SR20DEt Jspec engine, and I'm finishing up swapping it in.
