What is the rarest Muscle Car ever made?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: 1wykdmk8

Now...I am not talking dealer modified cars (like the Yenko, Baldwin-Motion, etc, OR purpose built race cars......if you get my drift). These would be Muscle Cars that you could conceivably get at ANY car dealership anywhere they sold.

Anyone?

Oh...and how many were ever made?

Hmmm - first guess might be the road runner --but thats strictly a guess - Im sure there were attempts at muscle models that never became popular-

Nope.....the car that is the rarest is actually tied for first place with the same amount of cars ever made.

The Road Runner (Convertible, 1970 w/426 Hemi) is actually tied for third place (another 2 way tie a matter of fact).

Well, over here the rarest musle car built was the Ford XA GTHO Phase 4. Only 4 were ever built (with a rumoured coupe being the 5th but never verified). Only 3 remain now as one was destroyed. 3 were red and built to race, 1 was originally green and for the road.

They are rare and basically priceless now.

Well...at least we see that someone knows a lil about his countries Rarest Muscle Car history.....LOL

But the 2 cars I am refering to for us Americans.....are even more rare....only 2 made of each of the 2 tied for first place....so only a total of 4 (2 for each year).

Nope, that looks like a computer mock up of a Phase 3, hard to tell without the proper details.
edit: yep, XY GTHO Phase 3...different tail lights to the XW GTHO Phase 1 & 2

Phase 4 is significantly rarer...and considering the Phase 3 will go for around $150,000 if anyone wants to actually sell one you can imagine the price tag. I'll try to find a pic of one for you.

This is a link to read all about the Phase4. And if you consider only road registered production models then officially it only ever had 1 built!

You were OHHHH SO close with the first one.......OH so close.......the first one you mentioned is partially correct for the one that tied the rarest....but not totally correct for the tie either.

Hey Craig. I noticed in your avatar that you either lost cylinders on both sides at the exact same time or you floored it off the line and spun the tires.

Moster, if you've ever seen front engine nostalgia dragsters on Nitro, at dusk, thats exactly what they look like. Notice that all the pipes light up at the exact same time the butterflies on the buzzard-catcher open up. Its a pretty nice avatar.

If you ever get a chance(this goes for all of you) to see a "sligshot" in person, at dusk/night...do it...you'll never forget it.

Nitro burning front engine hemi powered top-fuel dragtsers running 5.90 quarter mile times, in a chassis that was build 40-50 years ago...un-frickin-real.
