1964-1966 Dodge Custom Sport Special
The Dodge Custom Sport Special, a comparatively rare package offered by Dodge, was the answer. Outside, you have steel wheels and stripes for racing. Inside, you’ve got a Dart bench seat, a Polara center console, and a thick pile of carpeting. You could also opt for the High Performance Special with the CSS, adding the 426 cubic inch V8 365-horsepower, TorqueFlite 727 automatic transmission, and torque rods. The Custom Sport Special, a special and criminally underrated truck, is one of the most interesting performance vehicles ever to come from Dodge.

1976-1977 Chevy Blazer Chalet
We selected the rare Chalet instead of picking a pedestrian version. In the mid-to-late 1970s, two red-hot trends were off-roading and camping. But you needed a motorhome and a 4X4 for towing behind it to do both. Not so if you ordered a chalet for the Chevy Blazer. The Chalet was a Chinook pop-up camper body that slid into a 4WD Blazer’s cargo hold and provided sleeping accommodation for two. For just under $10,000, the Chalet retailed, and less than 2000 were ever made.
