>>WEIRD<<< cars you would like to own.

[Chicane]

Alright, lets retry. These cars cannot be cars that everyone and their brother has heard of. We ALL know what a 3000GT is. So don't mention those, because nobody really cars. Now, that Europa car, that qualifies as weird. So would a Dodge Omni GLHS. Or a Subaru 360.

Now what WEIRD cars would you like to own someday?

[Subafreak]

So does an SVX count?


BRATs are unknown enough to be weird.
Agreed on the 360 and the FF1
How many people know what a VW Swimmwagon or Commanderswagon is?
And even thoe every one knows what a herse is, one with hydrailics and 22inch blig bligs would be wierd.

[Chicane]

HahAhAh YEAH! STUFF LIKE THAT! Post your WEIRD cars here. :D or weird cars you WANT to own.

I have always had a soft spot for a Bond Bug.

My wierdest (owned) has to be a Reliant Scimitar SS1. Great fun, except that it leaked in the rain

[Chicane]

Any links? Never heard of one.

I thought my list was at least mostly appropriate. :(

[Subafreak]

It was, but a lot of others were just listing regular dream cars. WE already did that thread.

[Phil Hill]

For me it has to be any of the last generation of great rally cars, the Group B rally car. Any of the models displayed here are welcome in my garage. Yes even the Renault......

A few more weird machines here also :

http://autozine.kyul.net/strange_car/strange_menu.htm

Most bizzare vehicle I've actually seen in action would be a 1920's home-made racing special powered by an air cooled straight 8 aero engine........

Might be this, not sure, it was a few years ago....

Befor buying my SVX I was trying to get a 68 Caddy Hearse. I still want it.

[Darksied-X]

I want nothing but Subarus.

I fell in love with this one: http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/2/2/31794122.htm

I wouldn't mind mind an RX Turbo, similar to this one, just in better condition and not so dirty: http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=331203&make_type_query=make%3DSubaru&model_brand_query=model%3DRX&tree=Subaru%20RX

Also, I'd like another XT6, one that's a stick, and a second SVX, this one with a Scorpion lift kit. I wouldn't mind a turbo Baja or Forester with a lift kit, either.:D

[Subafreak]

I,m sorry but that is the fuglyest 360 I'v ever seen, then again I just can't make my self like the coupe style. I would love a pick-up or van tho. I'm assuming that RX has an EJ20 Turbo swap? 280H.P., 13sec. Quarter mile?



Speeking of wired cars. I found this old Volvo truck thing, it looks like a mini Unimog and all the labels are in German or Swiss so I know it dosn't belong here. Anyone know what this thing could be. If the guy only wants a few bucks for it I might take it off his hands.

[Subafreak]

Never mind, it took me an hour and a half but I found it.

It's a Volvo military Vehicle known as a PLTGB 903 was produced from 1961 to 1970.

The one I found is pretty rough but still looks compleat.

i want one of those turbine powered flying cars that old guy was building.
he supposedly had two working models.
red and blue.
does that qualify? i couldnt think of anything else. i used to want a lotus omega til i saw the pic of the oneon autozine.

[Pure_Insanity8]

How about semi-odd and still a supercar... pretty unkown I think. Check out the Koenigsegg CC here: http://www.koenigsegg.com/

This thing could put a McLaren F1 in second place!:D

[Aredubjay]

Not that I'd ever own one, but, the Corbin Merlin (http://www.spitfiremotors.com/merlinRoadster.html) is wierd, as well as the Sparrow (http://www.spitfiremotors.com/sparrow.html) .

I owned a 1967 SAAB Model 96 V-4 Monte Carlo Stage II.

It was pretty weird for 1967.
It was FWD and had a V-4 engine.
Early SAAB styling was very weird, aerodynamic, but weird.

Ya Mogs are cool, but at a 4wheel and Off road jamborie a few years ago I saw a bigblock Unimog with 44inch tires loose to a very stock looking 92 Chevy 2500 P.U. in a tug-a-war. It was a very strange thing to see, The Unimog dwarfed the Chevy and they sat there for like 1full minite pulling against eachother before the Chevy finally pulled the Mog over the line. It was very cool.

Wasn't that question #1 for the road rally at Reading? I saw one at a car show awile ago,I thought the whole V-4 thing was cool.
