Just recently saw a BMW Alpina V8 Roadster and a few months ago, a Bentley Continental GT. What’s really weird about these sightings is that they are in a shitty part of town. There is no reason these $100,000+ cars should be in this area!

At the local car show, I saw a 2003-1953 corvette. Now, I may be incorrect, but I believe it is a 2004 vette chassis with a fiberglass 1953 style body on it. According to the guy, so far only 40 or so have been built. His was black with red interior. Not quite my style, but it sure was rare.here's some more info i found

I saw and sat in a Lotus Super 7. I don't know how rare they are but I don't see them too often. Also saw some Lotus Elise's some old Daihmler's, MG's, and some Rolls Royce's. Also some Ferraries and Lambos but those get kinda old fast.

Not that the first two of these cars are anything particularly special, but they are uncommon. About a week ago, I saw one of those Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais W41's, with the ultra hi-po Quad 4. Nice car. Yesterday, I saw a Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with the Quad 4 and a manual trans. Not many of those running around any more.

Today's viewing was special. Running up the highway, got passed by a Corvette ZR-1. Not sure what year, but it was cool to see. Not many of them made, so it was a treat to see a real one.

Ford GT

Among a sea of Corvettes I found her last night. Same base color but the racing stripes were darker than the body color, black maybe?

Better yet, I found out I get to drive a Mustang GT convertible in a parade with a beauty pageant winner sitting in back tomorrow. I need to go buy some lottery tickets before this lucky streak ends.

Driving down Forrest lane in Dallas Thursday morning had a Ford GT passed me going the other way. Nearly swerved off the road out of shock. Had I not been going to work I would have spun a u-turn and chased it.

Since I don't live on either the west or east coast, nor do I live or frequent some of the upper class neighborhoods, when I do see an exotic car, it is a big deal. Today I saw a red F-355 Spider. I was walking along side Lake road in Bay Village, Ohio (an upper class neighborhood west of Cleveland) and there she was driving past. As the car went by I blurted out, "OH SH*T!" The car then makes a right at the light ahead and I duck into the parking lot to get a closer look. For a 10 year old Ferrari, that car still looks sharp. IMO I think the quality and style is an exponentially better than the Testarossa it replaced.

About a year ago, I was passed on the interstate by what I believe was an original Ford GT40. Not a recent Ford GT. It might have been a very good replica, but I had the distinct impression it was real.

Totally agree. I saw one driving around town (Calgary Alberta) the other day, and it was in perfect condition, and I just had to give the guy a thumbs up.

There's a testament to bad planning though. Not the cars - they're great, but the comapnay. Chalk one up for cocaine abuse!

So far I have only seen one other NSX just driving around since I got mine. I've seen several at pre-arranged meets, but just that single yellow one heading east on Bee Ridge road in Sarasota a couple weeks ago.

My wife and I are fucking funny thought when we're out driving. We'll see a car on the other side of the interstate, our heads will swivel in unison to check it out, and with one disappointed voice say 'Corvette'. We're always hoping, looking for others.

I know the NSX isn't the rarest of the rare - almost 9,000 were imported, but damn I almost never saw them before and now I never see them at all.

My family just got back from a vacation and on the last leg we were in Toronto. On the second day, this past Thursday, I walked out of the Harbour Castle Hotel and see parked right in one of the entrance way spots was what looked like a real, original '66 Mustang GT 350R. When I got home I searched around a little online and found that only 3 were made. Now that is pretty damn rare. I have a few pictures of it, but at 7.1 megapixel they're too large to post and I haven't edited them down yet. I asked a couple of the door men about it and they said it was real and owned by a "celebrity" but they didn't want to say who. It was parked right next to a new, silver Porsche Turbo but who cares about that common P.O.S.

Kinda funny, later in the day I came out to get our car and hand my parking ticket to the door guy and I say "it's the Mustang over there" and he starts to walk over to it as if he was going to get it for me!!! I spilled the beans and told him I was joking so I don't know if I could have driven it or not.

I don't know where I got the idea it was a GT 350R, maybe wishful thinking; after looking at my pics last night it's a GT 350H. Very nice but not quite as rare.

Yeah, I had my doubts about it being an original R model. The H models were built for Hertz, I'm sure you're familiar with the story. Pretty neat. Big difference in terms of interior creature comforts between the R and the H. The R is recognizable on the exterior mainly by its scooped out front valance, below where the bumper would be. A lot of basic Mustangs have been converted to "R" look and/or specs, real R models are less common than genuine Shelby Cobras.

I'll leave my original post below unedited but after snapping out of my daze, I realized that M6's are in fact pretty rare, the ones I see all around the neighborhood are the 600 series, 635's or whatever number they are now adays. I heartily apologize to Rippley for dissing his rarety.

Dear Mr. Rare Rippley

In that case I should list my own stuff in this rarity list. I see several M6's every day, some convertibles. One of my daily drivers is more rare than most M6's will ever be ...my good old "MkIV" 1995 Supra Turbo w/6speed trans and targa sport roof, less than 3750 imported into the U.S. from 1993 to the last ones imported in 1998; total of all types of turbo Supras from 1993 to 1998 was under 7000. Now that's rare

I am officially un-dissed. Also, I'm a little bit in shock still, from driving it, so disses just ricochet right off me - oh, and the ones rolling arounf your 'hood are 630's, 630 Ci's and 645's, I would guess...

Oh, and after driving the M all day, I got to drive a late 60'd mustang with a 351 engine in it. NO idea what model, so feel free to help me out on that one. It's a coupé, with a 351 engine, and it has a hoodscoop.

Yeah, I guess what I meant to say is, the bumper wouldn't even be there on an R model. Also, I think that paint job (color scheme) is unique to the H model. The H is certainly *not* a common car by any stretch of the imagination though, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if that one is indeed original. It's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
