(edit) giant ass camper van thing
No destination would be to remote!

That Camper, ROCKS!

I LOVE Big Trucks!

SICK! I want that UNIMOG soo bad.


75 MBZ 300TD wagon in black

I would guess these might be considered odd-ball and definitely rare.

I love the 60s NASCARs as they were really pretty much a showroom car with some nuts-arse engine in the bay may or may not have been in the actual car from the factory.

1966/1967 Chevelles are just too damn cool

would really like to have a 1969 Talladega Boss 429 regardless of valve spring issues That car to me symbolized all that used to be right with NASCAR and was pretty much at the end of the aero wars in NASCAR. It's funny becuz when I was 15 my uncle gave me 2 68 Galaxies and a 64 Galaxie (all rust buckets as I was never lucky, just born white trash hahahaha) and I HATED the fastback look of the 68. Now I wish I had the one with the 390 again just for the sake of burning tires off it.

Not so rare, maybe a bit oddball?

1966/1967 had the coolest midsizes between the Nova SS/Fairlane 500 GTs.

Lastly, 1964. I don't know what it was about that year, but the Galaxie 500 and the Impala were at their peaks IMO.

edit - OK the car gods have spoken, a few hours after posting this I was watching TV and "dream car garage" had the car I was going to put as my #1 choice but didn't because not oddball - Bud Moore 70 Boss 302 T/A. It is hard to pick just one car, but I have wanted one of those forever. So figure it a sign to mention it. Holy crap, I am typing and "My Classic Car" is covering a 1964 Impala SS.

ooooohhhhweeeeeoooooooohhhhh. Time for bed before they start showing a classic NASCAR excerpt

Pinzgauer 6 x 6 ... *NOT* a Unimog ...
Andy

Unimog is a vehicle from Germany

Pinzgauer is a vehicle from AUSTRIA
you can see the Austrian banner on the side
and it has an Austrian license plate

Gustl

I like the original B+B version

This has become a random cool car picture thread. Which is good.

I'd like a F40 please:

I saw one at Carlisle this year with the hood up. That Maserati engine sat far back, with the tranny up front. It was basically a mid-engined car that had the engine in front of the driver rather than behind him/her. And the accessories were bolted to the body rather than the engine. Talk about some oddball French engineering... but definitely a cool ride.

A 1959 Ford Anglia (prostreet)

I'd like everything but the Pantera, they never did much for me. The other cars are sweet. I'd need to add an olds rocket 88 to the list though

Wow, I just checked back and didn't realize how long this list got...

I meant to add semi affordable to the requirements, but I like what you guys are coming up with.

I'll add another, I'm going to own a "real" rod soon... this one is out of my league but you get the idea.

also need a grocery getter...

Must be some kind of memory of them being the prize car on gameshows while growing up...Tic Tac Dough anyone!

OK OK I ADMIT IT!!! DON'T BEAT ME!!

'77 TRIUMPH STAG

Maybe I should change my vote, as I just bought my 2nd 74 Euro Carrera today.

T.C.

That is "Volvette" right? That car is nuts!

Yep.

My dream build would be similar but using a older 142 volvo, and somehow transferring vette suspension, but retaining stock appearance, total sleeper

Ferg

Exhaust looks like intestines

I would love to have a Nash Metropolitan or a Triumph Herald.
I have wanted a Met since high school.
Had a friend with a Herald in college, it was a riot to ride around in!

scroll down to the mid-engine Boss 429 project Ford did with KK in 1969 - definitely oddball and rare, and pretty much on topic in a 914 forum!

http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread...9802&page=2

and way, way cool

http://www.diversstreetrods.com/projects/

pretty much any bastardized mid-engine thing is on my list of oddball cool cars to pine for. I always wanted to wedge a 351C/ZF Pantera setup into a VW squareback, so I think that Rambler is schweet.

Sumpthin' 'bout a clean Pantera



or a:
Bizzarrini P538 Barchetta




Mid engined, small block Chevy (327 cid), 2,000 lbs....

Sound familiar???

well, i really miss my '81 scirocco s. i wish i had a pic handy.

how about this one:

mazda cosmo!

Easy... 1962 Ferrari 250GTO

You are right! This car is killer!

I think you just batted it out of the park.

I rode in one.

wasnt as fast as this one though.

160mph across the yorkshire moors. Had to turn the A/C on to keep the cabin cool as the twin turbos were heating up the firewall. crickey I think this is my dream car.

like the Unimog I'd like a Hagglund..



also like the Fulvia -has dogleg box like 914



and the Ren 8 Gordini

There are more. Those odd enough for you??

oh, i thought this thread was about "oddball" cars, not a "full-on-sick-beyond-my-imagination-8-shades-of-whip~ass-coolest-car-on-the-planet" thread!

An amphibious would be schweet. They seem to be on a come back

And Andy already listed the Alipne.

You are majorly right, of course, but we're all enjoying this hijacked thread of what's included some extremely desirable, collectible and aesthetically pleasing cars.
