That’s extremely rare to see a car like this in the U.S.A. but it happens that there are still barns which can amaze you. This looks like a former California car as the black plate says, and probably this car was originally painted in a very elegant pale green. Then, sometime in the past, it… Read More Missing rear glass: 1957 Fiat 1100 TV Coupé by Pininfarina
When you hear of an Alfa “stepnose” the first car that comes to your mind is not a cabriolet for sure. In this case, what we have here is one of the few Giulia Sprint GT cabriolet built by Touring. Our literature says that 1,000 of these cars were made, mostly sold out of Italy… Read More The other stepnose: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTC by Touring
It seeems that many in the past have been infected by the “shrink” virus: last year we published another car customized in the same way: that time was an italian car but this time the experiment has been made on a ’61 Bel Air. It’s the first time indeed that we see this modification on a big… Read More Washed in boiling water: 1961 Chevrolet Bel Air
This coachbuilt Fiat 1100 with an aluminium body by Vignale has seen better days: indeed it is now waiting for someone who take care of it. It is a total restoration project which has been somehow begun but we must say that we don’t like that floors at all: the seems like two simple metal sheet… Read More Aluminium legacy: 1951 Fiat 1100 By Vignale
The seller of this little racer has posted a photo of a Zagato bodied lancia Formula Junior: in our opinion that photo has nothing to do with the car auctioned. However it could be really a Dagrada racecar: Angelo Dagrada began to built these cars using a Lancia Appia 1100 engine with an head completely… Read More Racecar trivia: 1959 Lancia Dagrada Formula Junior
Times have changed and now it could be worth even to underline the sale of a bare shell (with some ancillaries) of a 250 GTE which, if complete and restored, is now worth even an half million dollars. Probably the chassis and engine of this car has been used years ago as a base to… Read More Ghost in the shell: 1960 Ferrari 250 GTE “body”
Until few years ago seeing a Samba in need of a total restoration for sale at this asking price would have made you laugh to tears but, considering the actual market, we have to admit that this is a fair deal. The austrian seller says that this Samba was originally delivered in Germany, so basically it… Read More Dance project: 1964 Volkswagen T1 Samba
The ’37 Ford brought a change in the lines of Ford cars: it had softer lines than its predecessor, the Model 48, a V-shaped grill and two beautiful teardrop shaped headlights. Other than that, this barn find looks very healthy although its black paint has become dull. The front bumper looks missing but the seller says… Read More Rodders away: 1937 Ford Coupé
The seller says that this is a rare find in the U.S., and we agree with him. These were not officially imported in the U.S.A. and even then, they would have be too expensive, especially if compared with the huge american sedan competitors. However, this car need more than some work: the seller sasy that… Read More Matt black berlina: 1959 Lancia Appia Series II
Two Alfa’s today. This time our “one car per working day” has been missed, but this one’s too interesting to let it go. It’s a 1947 Freccia D’Oro (“Golden Arrow”) from the same seller of the 2500 GT posted some days ago. A lot of work is needed here: bottom-up and front to rear, btu… Read More Post-war class: 1947 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 “Freccia D’Oro”
