    Post pics of vehicles with specific features you wanted to purchase, but could never find.



    I'd commit many crimes for that E36!

    I know I'm crazy to want one, but decent ones of these seem rarer than hen's teeth.

    Only 2 pictures of this car in all of photobucket. About 10,000 made in a 2 year production run from 1972-73.


    Also the 75-80 GM H-bodies. (Monza, Skyhawk, Starfire and Sunbird) Couldn't find one photo of any of the 4 versions on photobucket.

    Charcoal grey, all stock 300ZX TT is the car that I've always wanted, but never owned. At this point I don't know how many good examples are left to buy

    Maybe that is due to excessive drug use, which can lead to prostitution and homelessness.

    Don't drive a Corolla or you might end up a homeless prostitute.

    Most of you guys like Grand Prix White S2000. But my dream S2000 is Platinum White Pearl with red interior (seats). This is a MY2009 (last production year) only color.

    Along those lines I always wanted a MK1 Golf. I never see them for sale. I like the old diesel Rabbits too, but the ones I did manage to find did not run and in terrible condition.

    When shopping my GTI, I was seriously disappoint to find no silver or any other interesting colors seen on the German palette. I settled for CSG instead. Also, I wish I had the Dynaudio on my Sunroof/Nav package.

    Always had a boner for one of these... looked and looked for an 85-86 in good shape with the RS 5.0 package, but none existed in my area so I ended up with a less cool looking Mustang LX 5.0 instead.

    I still want one to this day... just love these frikkin things.

    This is a Focus ST right? I found one in my car searches that's at a reasonable price.

    http://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/3177282136.html

    Has 180,000 miles ans drives great. It is a manual transmission. There is no rust on the car, but does have some dings on it. The air conditioning is cold. Tires do not have much tread. It has been a reliable daily driver.

    I actually prefer the green to black on that car. To me that's the perfect color for lots of 90s sporty sedans: Maxima SEs, G20ts, etc.

    The thread isn't about rarity, it's about cars you want but are hard to find. A lot of cars that weren't available in huge numbers have been ruined, dismantled, or ended up with an owner who will never sell it.

    98-99 Camaro Z28 with 1LE package. Crank windows, Konis on all 4 corners. 100 or so made in 98 and 50 or so made in 99. Would rather have a 99 because of the better rear diff. Found a 99 in a super rare color and couldn't talk the guy down on a somewhat reasonable price and walked away, Kicking myself since.

    A 99 in Red...
