Indy you know I love your car and you man, but all those cars mentioned come straight from the factory your's is a third party tuner. So as far as special editions your car is one rare car and we have discussed this before how i searched 2 years for one of those and no luck. So yeah special edition your car is top of the line rare.

I collect Callaway C8s and Camaros. Callaway built 17 total Aerobody/400hp C8s from 1994-1996. They also built another 26 400hp engine only cars.

The red C8 convertible is serial number 001. It was the first C8 built. 400hp M6
The teal C8 convertible is the 2nd of 2 1994 convertibles. 450hp A4
The red C8 coupe is the only Berger/Callaway ever built. It is my wifes car. 400hp A4
The silver C8 coupe is my beater. 450hp A4
The black Aerobody car is now repainted the original polo green. It is the only polo green C8 built 500hp M6
The polo green stock body convertible is 1 of 4 1995 convertibles. I love this car, because it looks stock. 425hp, M6
The polo green coupe is the only 1996 A4 built. 450hp A4

My 2010 IOM Camaro is currently scheduled to go to Callaway to get the 572hp treatment. I am not sure how many they will eventually produce, but it should be limited.

-1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe

Only 200 were made in 1986.
That's pretty rare considering how many Monte Carlo's, Regal's, Cutlass', Grand Prix', El Camino's, Malibu's, Bonneville's, etc. were made from 1978 to 1988. (G-Body).

I really think Chevrolet should have made them AWD to compete with the WRX Subarus. But....
I saw one of those one time. We were actually potentially interested in buying it. It was red with I believe a black and red cloth interior. I'm not sure if I took pictures of it or not.

Back in 2001, my mom was looking for a car, and a local dealership had a '98 Trans Am WS6 in bright purple metallic. I believe it was 1 of 12, which I didn't find out until recently. She didn't end up buying it because the salesman wouldn't let her drive it, despite driving up in a '95 Z28... and the car had a glasspack muffler or something. It wasn't completely stock, so my mom didn't want to mess with it. I rode in the backseat during the "test ride" and the glasspack was pretty terribly loud...

My GXP is pretty rare, but nothing insane. It's one of about 17,935 total GXPs made from '05-'08 and one of 1,567 in stealth gray metallic, which is arguably one of the best, if not THE best colors these cars came in. Definitely my favorite color of the colors I've seen. The purple color was only used on something like 88 GXPs and it's pretty nice looking too. Considering these cars are just about the most powerful FWD cars ever made and the first production FWD cars to ever have staggered wheels (wider wheels and tires on the front), I figure it's a pretty interesting car.

Really? I would have thought VR was most common for HHR SSs. Hmm. Cool.

Apparently my corvette may be one of 8.... But not in a way that would make it rare or valuable. Just the options it has.

Comparing your 1 off body panel car, which you've had for years, to those cars makes you look ridiculous.

My "rare" toys

Of course it's a 2010 Synergy Camaro,1 of 2425 for 2010.Wish it was a stick shift,had a chance to get one but the wifey wanted auto,even though she can drive a stick.
Next is a 2003 Cannondale Glamis ATV.One of 56 made.This one was bought new in 2008,It was sitting in the back of a powersports dealer's shop ,it has only about 20 hours on it.
