Some might consider a car rare, but would rare also have to mean it is highly collectible? To me, I’ll name 3 rare cars that are or were in the WNY area. 70 Ford Mustang Boss 429 - only 499 made, probably less than 1/3 left Local car just concours restored, probably worth an easy $500,000 - $700,000 And 2 local cars that were from WNY and just sold: 1960 Dodge Polara 500 convertible w/ crossram - 1 of 8 [http://www.barrett-jackson.com/carlist/cardetails.asp?In\_AuctionID=221&In\_LotNumber=1577.1](http://www.barrett-jackson.com/carlist/cardetails.asp?In_AuctionID=221&In_LotNumber=1577.1) Sold for $179,200 at Barrett Jackson 1954 Packard Caribean Convertible - 1 of 26 [http://www.barrett-jackson.com/carlist/cardetails.asp?In\_AuctionID=221&In\_LotNumber=1588.1](http://www.barrett-jackson.com/carlist/cardetails.asp?In_AuctionID=221&In_LotNumber=1588.1) Sold for $148,500 at Barrett Jackson A few quick others: 69 Camaro Copo ZL1 or any COPO Chevy made 70 Chevelle LS6 or LS7 Any Hemi Cuda or Hemi Roadrunner / Daytona So rare to me is a low number, highly collectible car. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/whats-a-rare-car/23493)._
