I'm pretty sure the Hertz Shelby Mustangs were all black and gold and all but a very very few were automatic transmission cars. They were called the GT350H.

Saw Ford GT today. The car looks pretty sweet in person. Also saw, and could hardly believe it, a Porsche Carrera GT driving past me. Pretty spiffy car to see in the suburbs.

Shelby Series 1 seen at a local cruise-in last night. I didn't even know what it was - had never heard of it. Some googleing this morning has filled me in. Nice car!

A couple of weeks ago, I saw a red Ferrari F430 on I-5 S in Portland, OR. It was flippin hot!

Scorps

Halx

I think they were priced around $175,000 but that doesn't include any dealer incentive discounts

I saw one drive by our local playground this past summer, the loudness (as in good sounds, not noise )caught my attention and then I couldn't believe I was looking at one! But I've heard some negative vibes about them ...not sure on the details though. Anybody know anything more ...good or bad?

THGL

Looks too much like a Vette body kit. I was totally unimpressed when I first saw them.

I saw one of these just the other day:



Beautiful car, driven by the CEO of the company I work for. I think he should sell it and give us all raises.

Even around here, an hour from their birthplace, these Alpine Renault a310's are rare as hens' teeth! I saw one last week, parked, pristine.



Want one!

Cycler

Damn saw one of these in white today, looked like a soroity girl driving it in the middle of Oklahoma. It looked awsome!

I've seen almost all of the cars mentioned including about 40 Deloreans in one parking lot...DMC convention at the hotel I was staying at.

But the rarest are these 2

1964 Ferrari GTO- 36 made and worth in the 10 digit range. I parked beside it in my buddies P.O.S. Mustang at the 97 Montreal Grand Prix

1967 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C- 31 were made and it was selling for 4 MILLION Cdn! when I sat in it when I was 17. I dunno how much that is now but 13 years ago I was impressed.



So can anyone beat that? I don't think so.

A GTO in the ten digit range? Blimey!
Let's see; $10,000,000 - ten million dollars. Eight digits, and not far off the world record GTO price. Ten digits makes for a car worth well over one billion dollars.
In addition to which, the fact that you were able to pull up next to one means it was almost certainly a fake - re-bodied 250 GTE or glassfibre datsun-based lash-up, it matters not a jot.
Can anyone beat that? Almost certainly.

However, if you really saw a real GTO, and a real Shelby - so many replicas - then you win the thread. Bravo!

rideough

I have no clue as to the authenticity of the GTO but the company it kept in the parking lot said much about its heritage...numerous Ferrari's, a Miura and a XJ220 were all present.
I am certain the Cobra was real as it was at a reputable exotic dealer.

That thing looks no bigger then a mini

Scorps

Omg that looks like a Corvette...WTF!

Spanxxx

Powerclown - That GT is BADASS! Damn I want to drive one of those.

I haven't seen anything fantastic in awhile unfortunately.

As far as rare though, does rarity count as frequency of sightings? If so, my dad and I have had several rarities over the years. He's always liked unusual cars. Jags, Rolls, MG, Opel, etc. Probably common fair in Bristol or something, but when you grow up in a small town in KY, they suren't common.

When I was in high school we had a 1971 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. Definitely stood out in town. Now he has a pristine 89 Jaguar XJS hardtop. My first car (in 1992) was a 1970 Opel GT (looks like a little tiny foreign made corvette or something).

Probably the most unusual vehicle we had though was a mid 70's model International Pickup Truck. I've never seen another one since anywhere.

Of course, the most rare privately owned vehicle I've seen was a friend of my dad's who owned a Half-Track military vehicle. Sure don't see those every day.


Back to the exotic though...
I did see a sweet Ferrari a few months back just cruise by me in traffic in downtown Memphis and I was just like, "wha, who, holy, sweet jesus that's awesome" and I had no idea what the model was. I just stared at it dumbly while my consultant rep was driving me to lunch. She just laughed at me like I was a silly little boy. Oh well. At least some women get it .

A neighbor used to own THE white Ford T-Bird from the movie American Grafitti. Kept it in his garage under a sheet. It always won awards at the local car shows.

Don't know why, but I tend to gravitate towards the oldies. Saw a Chrysler 300G a month ago, decided I want a convertable 300-letter car of my own some day.

theguyondacouch

saw a porche 911, a vw thing, and a meyers manx today. Nice days bring them all out.

Northbound Woodward at Maple in Birmingham, presumably. What a stereotypical place to see a FORD GT in. I should know, I used to live within a mile of that junction.

swmnkdinthervr

Way too many posts for me to look through to locate one but I owned one of these in the middle 70's...one of those barn finds, a buddy and I came up with the $350.00 required to purchase it...yeah it needed some restoring but we got 5k for when we got it running: Facel Vega



Ours was the hemi, automatic with 2 4bbl carbs.

i see a Lamborghini Murcielago every once in a while. On the way to the train station I pass by a CL63 AMG, and if I get lucky, I see a Nissan Skyline GT-R on Tuesdays. There is a local car show about 2 miles north of me, so thats where the GT-R is going. Remember, I'm in the USA, the Skyline GT-R was never sold here.

I guess this question is sort of the opposite of what this thread is about:

I don't recall seeing it mentioned in this thread, and I just used "search this thread" above with no hits, so I'll say it:

Though they are extremely rare, I'm surprised no one has seen a McLaren F1 yet on the street.


my bad, not paying attention. I was just going thru this thread again and in fact, the McLaren F1 was already sited in earlier posts.

Cynthetiq

It was before the inception of this thread, and when my wife was still talking to her father who lives in Sarasota, FL. I saw 2 of them there in 2001.
