My friends and I were discussing collector cars the other day and what we would like to either see or own. The usual suspects came to the foreground right away (Mustang, Camaro, Chevelle SS, Barracuda, Charger, etc.) This got me thinking that these cars are seen almost every day around here which really doesn't make them all that rare.

A car that I haven't seen forever and would have to rank as an almost impossible find would be an original condition, low mileage, RUST FREE Ford Pinto. Finding one of those today would be a challenge I think. I mean when was the last time anyone saw one of these cars on the road? And they made a ton of them at one time.

So what cars do you think would be almost impossible to find? (Excluding all the one off exotics of course)

Yeah we see original 427 Cobras and 550 Spyders all the time in California don't we!

Saw a post somewhere (with pics) concerning a vintage baby-poop colored AMC Pacer; that would be something to see! Rock on!

Then how about a Z11 Impala (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) There's one for sale here in town. I think the guy wants like 80k for it.

#1 - Renault Alpine - I saw a few in Germany in the '80's.
I've only seen one in the USA and that was on a race track.

#2 - Lotus Europa - No rust to worry about. Just crappy Lucas electronics.

I can never see enough Ghias... esp. verts!

it's actually fairly rare to see a NICE camaro, most are on blocks in front of a trailer...

I love the 396 Chevelle SS, not too many good ones of those around...

what car would really make me crap if I saw it on the road though? a Detomaso (sp.) Pantera... I've had the pleasure of seeing 1 in my life... that was a bad mother fucker!!

Uhhhhhh, that would be NO. As for being a 930 killer, I saw one that someone brought to a Ferrari Club track day a few years ago at Laguna. Ya know, 427 Cobras, slightly ex Ferrari racecars, that sort of thing. Cubic money ........... He took FTD in a walk ..................... The Cap'n

I always had a soft spot for the pre-64 falcons, especially the sprint convertable, I had a girlfriend whose dad bought her a 1963 in 1965. What a great cruser car, a mustang before there was a mustang. Hers was black,black with chrome wheels and a hot driver....
