These Cars for Sale are Unique Additions to Any Collection
If you’re a car enthusiast, there’s a myriad of reasons to love or covet a car. Some of the obvious ones include speed, luxury, engineering, beauty, power, off-road capability, and high-tech features. However, some of the more intangible reasons to have interest in a certain car might be nostalgia, or simply the fact that a car, for whatever reason, is strange.
Whether it’s an unsung model that only saw a handful of examples produced over a year or two on the market, or it’s a variant that sports a less popular powertrain or transmission, cars that are simply “weird” can make underrated, unique gems in an automotive collection and spark fascinating conversations among seasoned enthusiasts. If you have an appetite for a vehicle that’s outside the box to enter your garage, these are some of our favorite “odd” luxury and exotic cars for sale listed on duPont REGISTRY.
1999 Bentley Continental SC
The Bentley Continental Sedanca was a version of the Continental that featured a unique Targa-style roof, combining the Continental’s typical wafting luxury with something in between the Continental coupe and the open-top Azure.
1995 BMW Alpina B3
While we might know Alpina for its transformation of the BMW 7 Series, the brand has also worked wonders with other BMW models, like the 3 Series seen in this 1995 BMW Alpina B3 for sale.
2012 Jaguar XKR-S
A far cry from the elegant grand tourer that the XK was originally introduced as, the XKR-S features aggressive styling and impressive performance. It’s an exclusive gem of British luxury grand touring to this day.
1991 Cadillac Allanté
Designed by none other than Pininfarina, the Cadillac Allanté had its body crafted in Italy and then flown to the States for assembly. With front-wheel drive and a Northstar V8 under the hood, it was a marvel of its time. The Allanté retailed for around $60,000, which today roughly equates to a staggering six-figure price tag.
2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Convertible
The popular miniature Range Rover is a compact luxury SUV that was originally launched with a coupe variant. In the later half of the 2010s, the coupe evolved into a convertible, marking it as one of the most intriguing luxury SUV models in recent years.
2004 Chevrolet SSR
The 2000s saw a wave of wacky, retro-futuristic cars inspired by classics, but the Chevrolet SSR stood out even among those. A pickup truck and a convertible at the same time, this retro-inspired SSR has become a collector-worthy oddity.
1980 Rolls-Royce Camargue
An innovative and ultra-luxurious vehicle in its day, the Rolls-Royce Camargue featured many industry firsts, including a groundbreaking climate control system and a design that deviated significantly from its predecessors. This was one of the most expensive cars available at launch.
2002 Rolls-Royce Corniche Last Of Line Edition
As Rolls-Royce entered its modern era of BMW ownership and Goodwood production, the Corniche “Last Of Line” edition bid farewell to a storied chapter, embodying the transition to new technologies and craftsmanship.
2018 Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG Final Edition
While the Mercedes-AMG G 63 has become one of the most popular luxury performance SUVs, the now-discontinued G 65 variant featured a powerful V12 engine, making it a collector’s item.
2013 Mercedes-Benz G 500 Cabriolet
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class Cabriolet combines the capability and glamour of one of the most desirable and off-road-capable luxury SUV icons with the thrill and style of an open-top convertible. This rare vehicle is valuable, particularly Stateside.
