I have a friend with a '69 T/A Convertible and 2 Coupes one with the Ram Air III and the other with a Ram Air IV engine.

Way back in the day (I owned an 18 month old 67 GTO at the time), I was offered a 68 Firebird that was about 6 months old. It had been delivered to Don Gay of Don Gay Pontiac in Dickinson Tx. Don is now retired. At the time it was his Dad's dealership and Don ran the only Pontiac sponsored "funny car" as that class was being developed. He also was actively sponsored by Pontiac with a stock class drag car. The 68 Firebird was delivered with a prototype set of tunnel port heads. Whether they were separate or simply an early set of the Ram Air IV or V heads, I simply don't know. The car came with a second set of heads in the trunk. About the time Don got the car, Pontiac (and all of GM) backed out of factory sponsored racing, so Don drove it to and from college (San Jacinto JC) for a few months and than offered it up for sale.

I elected to keep my GTO and did not buy the car. I have often wondered about that. Did I pass up a 1 of 1 car or not.

I suppose I should ask Don some day.

PS I have owned 3 1LEs and still have my 98.

Here's some rare ones I can think of:

97 LT4 Firehawks (29 produced I believe)
69 ZL1 Camaro (69 produced?)
92 Firehawks-especially the single green one (less than 30 I believe)
93 ZL1 454 Camaro (1 made)
Lt1 Intimidator Camaro SS's are also really rare (also only double digits I believe)
WS6 Formula Convertibles (many years only in the double digits, some in single digits)
The Metallic Purple '98 Firebirds (26 produced??)
All The GMMG cars

That '93 572 (not 454) ZL-1 show car was so freakin cool in the 90s before they converted the front bumper and made the engine look less cool. The dual throttle bodies were soooo awesome and exotic. I really don't like what the car became later on, and it's hard to find pictures of it in color from when it was awesome.





The Earnhardt ones were called Signature Series I believe. I'm not real clear on the name they used off the top of my head but remember the '94 version had Dale Earnhardt Championship Series embroidered on the headrest. The name Intimidator was just the GMMG cars. Those Signature Series cars were really rare. I think in '94 only 6 were made. I'd have to check my files for the other years...

Alright, allow me to finish this one off in style and with THE definitive answer. The rarest of all cars ever is the one Jesus drove. You've heard the question 'what would Jesus drive?'

Wonder no longer. He drove my blk. SS, '02, 1LE with an A4. He was not big into stirring gears and trying to work the clutch while wearing those floppy sandals. He put 4,500 hundred miles on it driving mainly between Jerusalem and his mountain retreat in Nazareth. It is rumored that he also drove it across or through the Red sea.

Now you know.

Here's a couple of one-of-a-kinds I discovered compiling the 1999 breakdowns:

'99 Formula WS6 1LE - Bright Red (81U) - 1
'99 Firehawk Vert A4 - Blue Metallic (20U) - 1

im still amazed that 90% of the cars mentioned in this thread are all 4th gens, with a smattering of 3rd gens.

i have posted this earlier in the thread: 1968 Z28 convertible. only one ever made, never available as an option. it was built especially for pete estes

if anyone says anything about it being a special vehicle, then look at the 69 trans am. only 697 made. more rare yet, a RA IV auto, only 9 made.

I'm amazed that any car is still being mentioned in the same thread as the Jesus car!
Jesus loved the catfissh! He even saved it and brought it back from dead. The Camaro has arisen!!

I know people will argue that it wasnt from the factory, but I have one of 3 Granatelli Signature Series Camaros from 2001. he made a decent amount of them in the LT1 years, but stopped when the LS1 came out. He only made 3 in 01 because of a deal he made with his sponsor, Matco tools.

Mr. Granatelli reposnded to a thread that I started last year when I tried to sell the car.
https://ls1tech.com/forums/vehicles-...k-miles-2.html
He never explained in the quote why mine is considered the best of the 3. I contacted Matco about the car, and their response was that of the 3 cars, mine was built at Granatellis facility in CA and delivered to its owner in Az. The other two were shipped to their owners on the east coast, and the modifications were done using Granatellis parts at a local dealership.
