MikeMeyerhoff Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Last weeks I saw a box body 2 door Chevy Celebrity Eurosport and it got me thinking about how often I spot something unusual driving around. So whats the rarest car you've seen on the road this spring? (Not at a show or garage...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Alfa Romeo Montreal.... http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2170/4508094919_28215904ba_z.jpg That's not it, but the one that runs around here is orange too. I saw it last week. I actually repaired and painted the airdam on it a few years back when I worked at the hot rod shop. I had never seen one until then and it's still the only I've ever seen. Here's one that may not have been very rare when they first came out, but I sure don't see many driving around... except last week. It was probably the first one I've seen since the mid 90's.... http://www.turbododge.com/forums/attachments/vnt-other-turbo-vehicles/34773d1274663435-84-ford-exp-turbo-550-oregon-std_1984_ford_exp-1.jpg I know I probably didn't see many before I left MI because they rusted so bad and probably were already scrapped, but it's the first time I've seen one down here. There may be more since we don't have a big rust issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 What ever Jay Leno drives for the day. His garage is just a few blocks from me, see him all the time. I snapped some shots of a Countach from not long ago. Screams out Cannonball Run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a turbo option in them that was less than impressive but decent for the time. Rarest car I've seen in awhile was a mint DeLorean back in late february.

Cloud81918 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Mosler MT900 We also have one of the Corvette SR-1s here in Albuquerque. Very few of these of this special edition C6 Corvettes. Basicly a Z06 with a few upgrades from the ZR1. There is a guy locally with a lots of Dodge Turbo Shelbys. He has a GLHS and a Shelby Lancer. See him driving them pretty often. Edited April 15, 2013 by Cloud81918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
