When we saw this ad we believed that the seller put the wrong description: the car looked like a 1500S Coupé, but actually the seller explains this discrepancy. Indeed this car is said to have been built in november 1962 whilst the “official” build year of the 1600S is 1963: the seller says that this… Read More Hybrid body: 1962 Fiat 1600S Coupé by Pininfarina
We all know that these cars were badged also as Volkswagen as Porsche wanted to test the waters to check if the market would appreciate something different from the iconic 911. Actually Porsche made a great job with this car but, unfortunately, the 911 was not yet ready to leave the scepter to another car.… Read More Perfect match: 1971 VW-Porsche 914-6
Back in the last century coachbuilders were not only involved in producing cars for wealthy and whimsical people but also for workers with taste. This pickup is the proof of that: we used to know that many commercial vehicles were built on the platforms of mass production cars, especially of Fiat and Lancia, but we’ve never… Read More Coachbuilt pickup: 1934 Fiat 508 Van by Bertone
That’s not a news seeing a project car without the lights, both on the front and the rear end: it looks like that headlights and taillights are the most cannibalized part of any car abandoned to its destiny. This Appia Coupé by Pininfarina has had such destiny but, apart from the missing lights which are… Read More Blind project: 1958 Lancia Appia Coupé by Pininfarina
This hand-built car has been, almost 60 years ago, the absolute peak of the american automotive production: it featured a lot of gadgets and it was more expensive than its contemporary competitor, the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. Its price tag was $13,000 (back in 1958 the average yearly wage in the U.S. was $4,600) It… Read More Space age ship: 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham
In the past we have already published a couple of ads about this rare car: they were about cars in original conditions (or slightly restored); we didn’t expect at all to see one of these converted in a race car. Of course it doesn’t seem an extreme racecar: it had some modifications like the lexan… Read More Oddball racer: 1970 LMX Sirex
50 years ago the luxury options for a car were way less than today, however there were a lot of coachbuilders who offered luxury and bespoke finishes without spending a fortune. One of those coachbuilders, one of the most known, was Alfredo Vignale who learned the job at Stabilimenti Farina and thenbuilt his hown company… Read More Popular luxury: 1960 Lancia Appia Lusso by Vignale
We don’t know where does this car come from, as these cars weren’t imported to the U.S.A., but what’s clear is that this car has been sleeping form many, many years. What we don’t understand is its build year: the first Montreals given to the press are from March 1971 so we can’t understand how this can be… Read More Grey to the bone: 1970 Alfa Romeo Montreal
The seller of this red on red GTV 2000 says that he needs to make some room in his garage as he has too many cars at the moment. Pure envy. Envy also because this GTV looks really clean: among the few written words the seller says that this car has been recently restored: ok… Read More Makin’ room: 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000
Why does it seem so difficult to find a description containing also the build year of a car for sale? We just don’t know and then, again, we can just guess that this Sportiva (which means two seats) could be built in 1970, but that’s just a throw of the dice. These cars were build in 300… Read More Uncertain birth: 1970 Moretti Sportiva
