Cars that went from Zero to Hero and then gone.

[icepac]

Dodge Aspen/Volare:

These cars were hated for so long that nobody recognized thier coolness (and power to weight ratio) until they suddenly became valuable.  

Good luck finding one now.

Here's one with "the petty kit" and was available at the dealership in this trim.



The Volare super coupe



Aspen R/T or Volare Roadrunner.



A wagon would be cool.



Soft corinthian leather?



Don't hate on the wagon with "wagon wheels" .....it won't end well for you unless your last name is "Kirk".



AMC cars also went from zero to hero and gone in a very short time.

AMC spirit AMX



AMC Hornet AMX........nearly impossible to make this car look good and the hatchback AMX is as good as it got.



AMC concord AMX......also nearly impossible to make this car look good.



Don't forget AMC's specialty.......AWD as found in the Eagle SX4.

The words Volare and Roadrunner should never again be mentioned in the same universe

This thread title reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw on a 90s Ford Expedition this past weekend:

"0 to 60 in 5 miles"

Some more cars that went from invisible to super rare.

If you are wondering why I am ignoring the easy ones like the grand national and the turbo trans am (both of them), it's because they are already well known.

Buick Lesabre Turbo Sport Coupe



Notice the am/fm/cb radio as delivered by the factory and the interior color that surely has provoked some aggressive driving.....which explains why it is turbocharged.





Buick Riviera T-type turbo.

As in the earlier gm turbo cars, it got a carbureted V6 but the last couple of years got the injected turbo V6 that made the grand national famous........but it's front drive.







Buick Century turbo coupe.



Chevrolet Monte Carlo turbo sport coupe.
