I came here ready to hate the material, but that’s actually pretty funny.

Tesla Model 3

The C8 Corvette.

My regular reminder that Shelby Dodge Shadows were a thing in the ‘80s, including this one with a 16-valve version of the VNT Turbo 2.2L built for Shelby’s 65th Birthday:

I thought of the Chrysler Turbine and dismissed it because there were multiple made. But there’s a turbine car that is a one off - the GM Ecojet.

I see one odd one-night stand between a Ferrari and Firebird, and raise you an odd one-night stand between a Ferrari and a Wagoneer! Although, technically it’s a two-off, as the engine was later moved from a ‘69 Wagoneer to a ‘77 Wagoneer (the second one retained the stock body work).

The Cadillac Sixteen. 1,000 HP / 1,000 lb/ft 13.6l V16

How can it be anything other than the Chrysler Turbine car?  I suppose it’s not really a ‘one-off’ since 50 were made... but the insanity of it deserves mention.

What. in. the. actual. hell.

What if a 1971 Pontiac Firebird and a Ferrari Daytona had a baby? It’s an insane question, but GM came up with this answer:

This looks like a normal Ford Tempo, right? One of the most dull, adequate, unmemorable cars ever? Like, not even a lumbering outlandish harvest gold on avacado green velour Malaise era beast, no, just the bland comedown from too much Brougham.

how about the 1938 Phantom Corsair. Built on a FWD V8 Cord platform, used aluminum body work, supported by a steel tube frame, push button automatic doors, and all kinds of other weird stuff for the time. It was also funded using Heinz ketchup money!

The Sir Vival, currently undergoing restoration at the Lane Museum in Nashville.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the V8 Cygnet, a car that made little sense as it was, and even less sense with a V8 (although it’s cool as heck)

Ford Super Stallion

Alfa Romeo B.A.T. 7

BMW 750 with a V16 and trunk mounted radiator. Goldfisch

Porsche 914/8. They put a race engine in the 914 and gave it to Ferry Porsche, who apparently didn’t even like the car very much. Absurd but cool.

2nd facelift(#3) looks the best to me. Simple, clean design.

Taking a page from the Challenger/Charger playbook. I guess if people still buy them, why not?
