Great list. One error to point out, the Tucker was never called the Tucker Torpedo (except for the first drawing), it was always called the "Tucker 48".
The Muntz Jet and the Davis Diva have both been on Chasing Classic Cars.

I have seen almost all the cars on that list, and that is quite a list.
I wonder if the Hemi Darts and Barracudas from the late '60s count as production cars? I guess for that list it does not matter, they have a couple one off cars. I knew a guy who had a 1970 Hemi Roadrunner convertible. One of 3 made. It was that metallic blue, with white top and stripes, pop up hood scoop, original paint. Total POS when he got it, restored it over about 5 years or so. Buffed out the paint, put new stripes on it, interior and top. Sold it to some guy in Nebraska for somewhere north of a hundred thousand. Guy drove it home form Sacramento. He had a lot of cool cars actually, got my 914 from him. A Mopar/914 guy, how is that.

I love all of them... And they're all so unique.
But this just took my breath away!

there are enough truly rare cars out there that the muscle cars didn't really need to be in the list
