This has been bugging me for a while. I've tried google searches for one to no avail. Maybe one of you guys has the answer? Anyway, here's an M1 Procar for your trouble.

My mom's LS had a misfire in cylinder 3 before, so it was a 7 cylinder then.

Looks like we've got farm machinery and ships. Nope, no cars.

I meant a car that came from the factory with 7-Cylinders, but a clever answer nonetheless.

My dad's old C4 corvette ran on 7 cylinders for a while.

But seriously, I have never heard of a car with a seven cylinder. According to Wikipedia though it was used on some farm equipment.

I've unknowingly ran my car for a month with one spark plug wire shorting out on my headers. I went from an 8 cyl to a 7 cyl.

I'm like Arch Duke, a few with bad cylinders that made them into 7's.

Darn, well remind me one of these days to weld an inline-3 and an inline-4 together and drop it in a Miata.

The answer is no then. Harmonics and a strait 7 would be too long, but I wouldn't be surprised if VW didn't try a VR7 prototype.

Cars, no.

Custom radial engined motorcycles, yes.
