whats the rarest car you've seen on the street?

[drunken monkey]

the 456 shooting brake to give its proper 'name' might not've belonged to the sultan as i recall one coming up for sale (or was it an auction) last year or so.

as for car sightings.
this one totally knocked me sideways.
jaguar e-type fhc (v12) in british racing green.
in hk.
not just hong kong but back end of yuen long of all places, around the corner from "little b's desserts place.

My old neighbor had a 55 Gullwing. His father had given it to him who had originally bought it. I rode in it twice (between 10 and 12, they moved afterwards). I would have married his ugly and fat daughter if it meant me getting the car.... hell, if he had had a son I would have married the son if it meant me getting the car. Silver with red interior. Simply amazing car. Under 25,000 original miles with not a scratch on it. Last I heard he was somewhere in the Ft. Worth area, but that was a good 10 years ago.

a working Yugo! ha ha

seriously- probably a 1920's Bugatti I saw Jay Leno driving once. It's not every day you see cars like those on the road anymore.... (excluding parades, car shows, etc)

[ghostrdr]

Lamborghini Murcielago, but here is teh kicker, it was in Monterrey Mexico and it was today.

i just saw a honda civic that didn't have a tuner sticker or a big wing sticking off the back...now that is rare....

[Polouser]

now, the rarest car I've seen on the street was an old Jaguar XK SS.
Only 16 were built!!

The rarest car I have ever seen is a GT40. One of the old ones. It was cool.

How's this for rare? 1910 International Touring car and is as original as is possible. One of only 3 known to exist and the only one that still runs (so I've been told). These cars were only made in 1910 & 1911 by the International Harvester Company. It's a hand crank start from a 6 volt battery then switches to a magneto. (usually starts on 1/4 crank) 4cyl, 3 speed plus reverse. 2X4 wood frame, buggy style suspension, leather seats and top. Original Isenglass/Isinglass (sp?) side curtains are under the back seat and have never been unfolded. It's a fun car to drive and has less than 10,000 miles.

I know it's an antique, but I consider it a "classic" car.

OK, so my friend and I were going to see the movie "Munich", and it being a saturday, the lot was full. So we were going up and down the isles when I hear him say somthing to the effect of "Holy s#!t, look at that car!". And he's not into cars at all, but it was a new 2006 M5 (parked). Which was funny because another friend of mine that we were meeting there's father has a friend who just bought a silver 06' M5. So these were most likely one and the same car. So we finally find a spot, and I say that I have to get a pic of it. I run down to it and as I'm waiting for cars to pass (so I can get a clear shot), I see a Rolls-Royce drive past. I think it was a Sliver Serph.

But a new M5 and a Silver Serph at the same time? Quite amazing considering this is Minneapolis (well, suburb really). And as luck would have it, I didnt get a pic of either.

Someone up above really loves you. I'm jealous, think I'll go pull my heart out in a few minutes.

[porscheguy9999]

Well, I do lick to think of myself as a reletively loved guy... And that "Someone" must love me cuz He made me get a 32/40 on a chem. test today... But that has nothing to do with cars.

[garret_the_driver]

For me a Nissan Skyline R33, nearly shit myself

[Inkyturbo]

An R32 Skyline, and in the dump that is San Bernardino, CA, that is quite a feat.
