This Opel GT is a rare bird in USA, differently from Europe where it was much more common. It’s clearly inspired by the C3 Corvette but it looks the same of a wool sweater washed with hot water. This particular car is said to have 38k original miles and, whatching its general conditions, it seems… Read More Shrank ‘Vette: 1972 Opel GT 1900 Coupé
It could happen that you search for a classic car for years without finding one, then two or more of them pop-out on the market in the same time: that’s what is happening for the Moretti Alger-Le cap: no later than two weeks ago we featured another one for sale here, but before that one… Read More The 2nd one: 1954 Moretti 750 Alger-Le Cap
One year ago the first post of Classic Virus has been published. Since then, the blog has grown more than we expected: it was born with the intention to share our passion for classic cars and the stories or the legends born around them: we hope that we have reached, at least partially, such goal.… Read More 365 days, 283 posts, 115 countries: one year of Classic Virus
The seller says that the mileage of this car is not guaranteed: chill out, we actually don’t need to know how many kilometers have been done with this car as it needs a total restoration. Unfortunately the photos are not good and made in very low resolution: sometimes we believe that some people must pay… Read More Mileage not guaranteed: 1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupé
The seller says that this car, which is not an original “G” code, has been built many years ago, before the words “tribute” or “clone” came out. It seems built with taste and respectfully of the original car. Indeed the seller says that this car has been built with many period racing correct parts: 406… Read More Competition proven: 1963 Ford Galaxie 406/405 “Lightweight”
This is the typical “stalled project”: a Porsche 356 to be transformed in “outlaw style” but, this time, using a flat-four Subaru WRX Turbo engine and transmission: that’s what we call “lateral thinking”. That’s a really strange idea: for sure it’s the first time we see such choice as the typical engine used in these… Read More Japanese flat-four: 1961 Porsche 356 “Outlaw”
“Landespolizei” means “State Police” in german language and yes, the car which saved BMW from bankruptcy was also used from german police for their road tasks: hard to think how this little bug could afford a pursuit of a Porsche 356 or of a Mercedes SL. This particular car had clearly benefitted by a ground-up… Read More Landespolizei: 1957 BMW Isetta
We’ve seen many Mercedes 190 SL for sale, some were in desperate conditions, some perfectly restored, many good drivers but we’ve never seen a car like this, in such original and preserved conditions. The seller says that the first and only owner bought this car in 1963 from Mercedes-Benz of Hollywood, for $2,794. Many years… Read More Time machine: 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
The Celica was born in 1970 and since then it was produced in several versions, up to TA35 type. Alle these models belong to what is generally known as the first series. This particular car is pushed by an inline-four 1600 c.c. DOHC engine producing 100 h.p. in the LT version. We think that this… Read More Rally spec: 1975 Toyota Celica 1600 GT TA22
The are good cars, there are project cars and there are challenges which could scare even the bravest man on the earth: this “car” is one of that. Actually this is a chassis/aluminium shell assembly (crafted by Rocco Motto) of a 1952 Siata 300 BC, a little barchetta built with the main purpose of being… Read More Only the braves: 1952 Siata 300 BC by Motto
