Junk and unknown cars that you love
So, what are some cars that have a reputation of being crappy that you like?
In my case, I love the '58 Edsel.
As for unknown cars, I love 1970s Zastava 101. When this car was introduced in 1971, it was one of the world's first FWD hatchbacks.
We used to have two in our family during the 1980s and early 1990s; I hope to restore one in the future.

Plenty of the latter British sports cars made in the twilight of their heyday were complete crap in the sense of build quality but they charm the hell out of me. I'd take a TVR all day.
As for Obscure, it depends on how loose the criteria are. For road cars, I gotta go Cyclone Spoiler II long nose.

Anyways, I was at an auction a weekend or two ago and came across the pantera. It was strange for me to see a car I'd never known about. I researched it and it has a very cool history especially here in America (and even more specifically the one named after the mongoose which is know for killing cobras [shelby was popular at the gime]). Looked it up on eBay and there were only two for sale. One of my new favorite cars!!

The Morgan is certainly not junk, nor is it unknown, but it is definitely not well known. We sold our '91 4/4 a couple of years ago. I had transplanted an engine and gearbox from a 2005 Honda S2000 into the Morgan and it weighed 800 pounds less than an S2000. She looked so sweet and innocent, but was a real animal.
