The awesome rare car thread

[SGT4677]

One of these Dinosaurs lives in my garage,I dont have any pics of it but it's a factory 454/4spd car,saveable but a basketcase.I hope my brother comes and gets it soon.There were only a few thousand big block Lagunas made,even fewer 4 speeds.

[SGT4677]

The Laguna lives with me because one of these lives with him.A Highland Green 67 GT fastback,390/4spd. He's building a big FE stroker for it,using a block from a buddy's old super comp car and Edelbrock heads.

Wow, no one yet, eh?

My rare-as-rocking-horse-shit dream car.



Have still never seen one in person. I would sell the E30 and (LITERALLY) give a nut for this car if the opportunity ever came available.

Citroen SM. The only FWD I actually want.



I've been seeking one for a project for about 2.5 years, Someday...

Porsche 917/30, the most powerful Can-Am car ever made, and right up there with the most powerful cars of any kind ever made. 1,200HP with bursts of up to 1,580(!) for qualifying. 0-200mph under 11 seconds.

Seriously? You guys seem to see all sorts of awesome care out there on a daily basis I never see.

That said, I have seen 5 of them in one place. Granted it was a rally of all places (go figure), and Michigan's UP has a rather eclectic mix of interesting cars. Anyway, 4 of them were pretty standard URQ fare, the 5th is owned by a guy I know somewhat well, he's a huge rally fanatic and even bigger URQ buff. I literally see old Group B Audi stuff posted by him daily on FB lol. This is his car, he was fast med sweep for the 2009 event. He was legitamitely faster than most of the 2wd guys, and he wasn't even 'running' in the event. His codriver kept yelling at him to slow down lol. Here's said car:

I believe it started life as a pretty standard US-spec car, but he is constantly working to make it a Group B clone/replica/tribute whatever. I rode it once at an autoX and all I can say is it's stupid fast. (Engine isn't stock at all, I think he figures it's well over 400hp at the wheels.) Very awesome cars, and the sound they make is one of the best things your ears will ever hear.

Newer shot of his car:

The cars you saw 5 of in one place, and the picture you posted are VASTLY different cars.

Those and that picture are Audi UR quattros. The one I posted is a Sport quattro.

These are not the regular fastback UR you see a bunch of all the time. They didn't sell the Sport in the US.
