OK, a Maserati made it to the Challenge. What is the next rarity?

Triumph Stag has been run three times, I am assuming the same car.  I saw it in 2005.

Grand Prix Turbo was a W body, made only  in 89-90.  Looks like in 91, the performance version of the car switched to the 3.4 DOHC from the Lumina Z34(which would be another cool rarity to show up).

1. Lancia Scorpion?
2. Fiat 131? 124 coupe? 128?
3. Isuzu Stylus?
4. Mitsubishi Cordia?
5. Vespa 400?

Not to mic drop too hard or anything, but if we need three pages to try to figure out what white whales are still out there....

Quoted for truth 

Mid-'70s Alfa?

In reply to Recon1342 :

Alfadriver won the $2004 autocross in his 1979 Alfa Spider, does that count?

In reply to AngryCorvair (Forum Supporter) :

Probably.

I was thinking 2000GTV, but those are never available for challenge money. 

In reply to Recon1342 :

Does a GTV6 count?  One showed up once.  I can't remember the year, and I have a sleeping cat on me right now, so I can't go check the back issues.   I think it would have been in the 2006-2008 era.

In reply to eastsideTim :

So Alfa is out of the running.

Finding obscure marques that can be had for challenge money: harder than it seems.

I know a guy with about 8 Crosleys...

I might have something. 

I can't even find one for sale. 

An Eagle Premier. You know- the one built by AMC in collaboration with Renault. 

Come to think of it- who's got a Renault LeCar, and who's dumb enough to make an r5 out of it? 

In reply to Mndsm :

I tried that. I'm dumb enough, but not talented enough.

If he has a Hotshot shell at sub-$1k, I might be interested.

Renault Medallion-

Vintage 1988 Renault Medallion 60k Original Miles ***BARN FIND, NO RESERVE*** - Classic Renault Other 1988 for sale (smclassiccars.com)

I can think of several marques that haven't shown up:

Mack

Freightliner

Iveco

Scania

Marmon

Etc...

I think an Iveco cabover with 100psi of boost thru the Isuzu(?) diesel would be interesting thru the cones! 😁

There is a Pontiac Solstice on the Indianapolis Craigslist for $2000. Anybody run one of those yet?

Last year,  friendo. Our good friend Surfshibby put a triumph spitfire on top of one. 

A King-Midget........they came with 9.2hp and I have a worn out lawn tractor with a 22 horse V-twin !
