Post your favorite non-mainstream car. Whether it be a one off, show car, custom, or just rare. And post a reason for likeing it ("It just looks different!" is a valid reason)


Riley and Scott Mk. II Hunter
Give a race car builder an idea for a street car and what do you end up with? A 502 big block in a 2600lb car that is made to take corners. Man that car has to be one hell of a ride.

The McLaren is pretty sweet with the driver sitting in the middle, thats got to be pretty unique. Also having over 600 HP at your disposal is no mean feat either. :)

DeLorean

When I was restoring the car, and redoing the seats, I found some white powder in the seats. I vacuumed it up with the other trash too fast before I could (taste) check it. Even since then I always check every nook and cranny in this car. Perhaps this was John DeLoreans way of thanking his customers?!

Bah, Delorean was set up big time. He was a struggling business man in desperate need of cash. The govt saw him struggling and put the idea of drug distribution into his head.

Boss Hoss motorcycles

Here is a nice picture of one.

They make them with 502 Chevy big blocks now as well as the 350 small block. I can't even imagine how fast they can accelerate or what the top speed would be.
