The name Malibu derives from the language of the Chumash people who called the place Humaliwo or “the surf sounds loudly”: this car allows you to fully enjoy the sound of the crashing waves. This car is not a Meyers Manx but one of those produced by a competitor company of the famous manufacturer of… Read More Malibu cruiser: 1969 VW Glitterbug Dune Buggy
Pininfarina is certainly the best known Italian coachbuilder in the world, and certainly not without merit, but in our opinion Bertone was the one who “dared” most of all. By “daring” we mean that Bertone has always been the one who designed the bodywork with that extra inspiration that you would not expect, with solutions… Read More The french italian: 1968 Simca 1200S Coupé by Bertone
Of the many Giulietta Spiders we published, very few, indeed probably none (at least as far as we can remember) were black. And when we say black we mean born that way, certainly not repainted in the course of her life. Black is a color that according to me gives a lot to this car:… Read More Black shade: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
There are classic cars whose value goes beyond the classification of year, make and model, and this happens because they carry something objectively irrelevant but emotionally important. On the other hand, if you study economics at university, they will teach you the concept of the “rational consumer” which describes the individual acting out of self-interest… Read More Orange racer: 1957 Porsche 356 A Speedster
It’s Touring, but it’s not Superleggera. Indeed, this GT was probably a few tens of kilos heavier than the coupe from which it was derived. As already mentioned other times, this version had been entrusted to Touring for the conversion to Cabriolet and the consequent reinforcement of the body to be done professionally and with… Read More Open top: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTC by Touring
Do you really need to spend a lot of money to drive a classic car with nice lines, snappy and in good condition? The answer is no, at least in our opinion. In fact, if you go deep into the classic car market, it is possible to see some deserving cars in some corner of… Read More Hidden gem: 1973 Fiat 124 Sport Coupé 1.8
454 c.i, convertible, 4 speed, one owner, 13,326 original miles: it is an excellent business card for a car that has become an icon. To the details it should be added that this car is a full-blown “barn find”: the photos published show the car, probably at the time of its discovery, covered by decades… Read More Aged wine: 1970 Chevrolet Corvette 454 Convertible
We have always liked Mustangs, as you well know, but generally we only released those produced from 1966 to 1970 (and only if Fastback or Sportsroof), we never released one of a subsequent series. Yet, perhaps due to the maturing tastes or simply because the former are becoming unapproachable from a price point of view,… Read More Lime horse: 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Sportsroof
Only 420 were produced, but the 2400cc, unlike its smaller sister (2000cc) is actually a Ferrari with a different body and interior. And the worst thing is that I have always known that these cars would one day have a great value not because I have a particular intuition but because years ago I was… Read More Total white: 1971 Fiat Dino 2400 Spider
This car angered Enzo Ferrari. Certainly not because he thought that he could compete with his cars, but on the contrary, because he was too similar to the latter. In particular, it was too similar to the Ferrari 166 Inter Cabriolet, whose bodywork was made just by Farina. In reality this was quite normal as… Read More Almost Ferrari: 1949 Fiat 1100B Cabriolet by Farina
