1 of 1 Muscle Cars - New Book

[Unreal]

One of One is way overplayed, in my opinion. The Marti Reports all break down the options to show how "rare" each car is but rare does not necessarily mean valuable. In fact, it does not even necessarily mean desirable.

I've seen cars broken down to "the only blue car equipped with the factory block heater".

If there's one thing consistent with 1 of 1 phraseology is that it's inconsistent :-)

There were 40ish cars presented in the book. I think we all have different qualifiers for what make a car 1 of 1. For me I broke it down to cars that are presumed to be the only in existence or presumed to have been the only one created. They would have been either prototypes/special factory builds (including 3rd party subcontracted), a deviation from a supercar builder (or the only one they built), or a production model that's uniquely qualified (special paint, unique option - Bunkie Knudsen's Boss 429 had A/C, etc..).
I'd hope readers would still be entertained if the book doesn't meet their requirements for 1 of 1. Let the debate begin! LOL

Sounds like a great book.

'65 Chevelle 2 door post COPO I think would qualify.

For what its worth, I always enjoy the cars Kevin Suydam collects.
I found 2 I liked that should fit the 1 of 1. No matter what your book will be great to read.

Black to me makes it a 1 of 1 as they dont seem to know how many M22s were made but they have to be rare with all the options it has.

Another that is killer:

Plymouth built one each of a 6 and 9 passenger wagon for '64. I would have covered both of those cars before this one.
