The rarest car you've seen...

[koolsax]

This was a good week for me. Last saturday I pulled up next to a Gallardo at a red light, then yesterday I drove past a Shelby Eleanor.

 

[SS2]

There are so many Eleanor look-alikes it isn't even funny. One of my sister's boyfriend's friend bought an Eleanor from an auction for $250K and got it up to 200+mph

I saw a Ferrari 350? GTS. Old car. Had cloth seats. Red and balck (duh). and was an automatic But still a very cool car, and very rare 'round these parts.

Not too many rare cars. I have seen a red Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII GSR at my school for some reason. I was excited but my friends were like, "Oh... is that a good car?" I laughed. I also saw a red Toyota Corolla GT-S (AE86) hatchback in Baltimore.

 

[Ev0]

Hmm, I've seen some very rare cars. The Saleen S7 at the auto show has to be one of the rarest cars I've seen. Otherwise, I saw an Enzo and a 575 Barchetta at the Ferrari dealership in my area, and those are two extremely rare cars. The rarest car I've seen on the street is a Maybach.

 

[SkylineObsession]

Don't really know what the rarest one i've ever seen is. But here are some rare ones (here anyway) i've seen/heard before.

- Ford GT40 Race Car (my Dad has driven a road car )
- Ferrari 512M Race Car
- Ferrari 360 Modena (red)
- Ferrari Testorossa (red)
- Ferrari 550 Marenello (rare silver right hand drive version)
The above three Ferarri's are about 15-20 minutes away from here (at the most) with the 550 being about 3-4 minutes away

- Honda NSX (red - in showroom)
- Ferrari 308 (? - saw when i was in Queenstown)
- Chevrolet Camaro Z28 ('97? - black)
- Chevrolet Camaro SS ('98? - black or silver, can't remember)
- Dodge Viper GTS (red with white stripes)
- 1971 (?) Nissan Skyline C110 (one of the guys from SDU owns it)
- Various Honda S2000's

And there's plenty more cars i've seen but can't remember them at the moment.

Once while we were on the New Jersey Turnpike, a Lamborghini Murcielago blew us by in our big-block 496-equipped Suburban like we were standing still. My eyes had just enough time to register it as a Murcielago.

Two Vipers prowl the streets of nearby Jamesburg, an RT/10 and RTS10.

I caught a glimpse of a Mosler MT900S once during an SCCA Solo II event at Raceway Park in Old Bridge.

Mustang Man - Camaros aren't rare - they sold 25,000 of them in its last year of production

In fact, I see F-bodies, Camaros or Firebirds, mostly F-3's and F-4's, all the time.

 

[SS2]

Not a rare car but a Porsche 911 Turbo cut us off at 140mph...

 

[SkylineObsession]

They are rare here mate. I've only ever seen two new Camaro's and they are the two i've just mentioned. Mustang's are also very race here (new ones anyway).

 

[importfan1]

Hey Victor, I guess that you live in New Jeresy too. Anyway, on Father's Day, we were going to get my dad's friend. On the way over to his appartment, we passed a blue lambo Garlardo. I was in a state of shock, my guess is that he was just passing through. Before school let out, there were a comple of students that shouldn't be living in my town. There's 2003 and 2004 Mustangs, A C-coupe, a G35 coupe, and many others. On the other hand, one kid drives a nice El Camino. Possibily the nicest car on school grounds.

My dad owns a 03 Roush Mustang Stage 2(SS2=STang Stage 2). I bet you never will ever see one wherever you live, if stock mustangs are rare.

 

[Victor Vance]

A saw a real rare car today, and old 2x2 Grand Prix, man what a beauty. Even prettier than the Aero Coupe.

One of these:

(note the aero nose and glassback roof - less than 1,000 of this particular model were made)

 

[Steeda]

Qvale Mangusta 👍 Only 250 in the world!

Living and in Central London gives me a great opportunity to see many rare cars over the years, here is an example of some of the best; all cars seen driving on road and not in showrooms, etc.

Porsche 959 (white)
Ferrari F50 (red)
Mclaren F1 (silver - 2nd built, used as developement car)
Mclaren F1 (blue) - press car
Ferrari 288 GTO (red) favourite!
LAMBORGHINI LM 002 (red)
Aston Martin Zagato Volante (green)
Mercedes CLK GTR (silver)
Mercedes Maybach (silver/blue, yuk!)

Ferrari 288 GTO (red) favourite!

Welcome to GTP, David!

Yes, London is certainly a good place for seeing nice cars at the higher end of the price scale. I'm jealous of your 288 GTO spot. I saw a handful at the Ferrari 40th anniversary at Silverstone a few years back, but never on the road. Go and check out my 288 GTO Shrine, and if you have any nice pics then, well, stick them in there!

Yesterday I saw a Yellow Mustang, it had Mach 1 written on the side and it looked like this.

My Jaw dropped, such a gorgeous looking car just sitting at the traffic lights on the A10.

Note: I don't live in America, so a car like that is rare here.

 

[GTRallyCat]

The rarest....hmmm.....a blue Lotus Espirit in front of my red Ford Explorer in downtown Pittsburgh!

hey i've seen that blue lotus driving around in the wexford / cranberry area just north of pittsburgh. there's also a yellow one around.

other than that, i saw a Ferrari 275 GTB a few years back. in my opinion, still one of the best looking cars ever.

 

[Oz.]

saw a zonda in barnsley, s yorkshire, UK

 

[pimp racer]

WTF RX7's, 911's, and Jags!!! Those aren't even close to exotic!! I can walk outsside right now and stand in the street with a camera and comeback an hour later with 100's of pics of these cars!!! Where the hell do you live Iraq!!!
:rofl:

I posted this at the wrong thread I meant to post at the what car you saw today thread. opps

 

[Rue]

Ha! Unbelievable. After slagging off the Aston Martin Lagonda so much in the 'ugly cars' thread, I actually saw one today - the first one I have ever seen on the road. It was absolutely huge- and still ugly! Anyway, this one was in immaculate condition and painted a strange pearlescent white colour. Was that a standard factory colour? I don't think so. I had the damn camera in my bag too, but I was too slow in getting it out. I was kind of shocked to see that car!

 

[pimp racer]

You saw all those on the road? By 'on the road', you mean in track day paddocks right?

I just saw a Fiat 500L yesterday. It pulled out into traffic (ahem, stopped?) and I had slam on the brakes to get alongside (it wasn't going to get up to 45mph for a few miles). My wife said, "Isn't that the car we started that racing game (GT2, of course) with?"

The mere fact she remembered, and didn't mind I struck up a quick conversation with the driver makes me quite happy to be with her.
