When it comes to exclusivity, plenty of cars can claim to be 1 of 500, or even 1 of 100. Drop below triple digits, and a car’s value can climb exponentially, which explains the popularity of continuation cars like Classic Recreations’ version of the 1967 Shelby G.T. 500 Fastback...

When it comes to muscle cars, one of the rarest and most desirable is the Ford Mustang Boss 429. Built for just two years (1969 and 1970), Wikipedia says that total production numbered just 1,356 units. Built for homologation purposes, so that Ford could use the 429 cubic-inch V-8 in its NASCAR...

If there's a poster car for the 'One Ford' mantra, it might just be the new 2013 Ford Focus ST. Without Ford's initiative to consolidate global development for same-sized vehicles under single development teams—and models that will work in all major markets—it's likely we'd never have...

Beyond that, there are enthusiasts who are happy with the 305-horsepower and 31 mpg delivered by the 3.7-liter V-6 Mustang. Enter the 2013 Roush RS (for Roush Six)...
