We have often published kit-cars produced with fiberglass body built between the mid-fifties and mid-seventies, and among all those published this is perhaps the one we like most. This is the body produced by the Alken Corporation, founded in venice, CA, by some Aerospace Engineer. The seller, who seems to have done a lot of… Read More Restored rarity: 1958 Alken D2 Roadster
It is not new that we are mad for the Ford Mustang produced in the years between 67 and 69, so when we spot one which seems good, we publish it. Speaking of a Mustang fastabck a cliché comes to mind: in case you never heard the Bullitt Soundtrack we suggest to buy it because… Read More Built in San Jose: 1967 Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback
The world of classic cars, at least for what concerns us, is not just about cars produced in Europe but also iconic cars like this one, produced in the USA. As many (but not all) will know, this is a Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible of 1957, a true icon of the american automotive industry (and… Read More Larkspur barn find: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible
Well, this is not a car in the sense that we all generally mean, but we know very well that true classic car enthusiasts are first and foremost romantics who like objects like this. This micro car comes indeed from the Disneyland Autopia amusement park, during the ’60s (we suppose the early 60s) and was… Read More Amusement ride: 1960 Autopia
The owner of this Plymouth Superbird has been very clear: if you have the funds call, otherwise you are kindly asked not to disturb, and all in all it seems a right approach. The seller, however, did not use many words to describe this car: he says he has a 440 c.i. (therefore a U-Code),… Read More No funds, no call: 1970 Plymouth Superbird
1954 was the only year of production of this strange roadster, built in fiberglass by Kaiser Motors and equipped with a six-cylinder Ford engine. In 1952 Henry J. Kaiser, the founder of the company of the same name, had decided to counter the invasion of European sports cars with an American product (the Corvette, the… Read More Plastic Fantastic: 1954 Kaiser Darrin 161
Maybe because of Bullitt, or maybe just because of the car itself, but I’ve always had a weakness for the 1967-68 Mustang GT Fastback. And I don’t think I’m the only one here. The weakness is even deeper if the car in question has a matching numbers 390 CI engine, but when that car is… Read More Soft spot: 1967 Mustang GT 390 Fastback
Porsche enthusiasts are the most intransigent in terms of changes made to 911 so, clearly, the idea of replacing the original engine with an American V8 would give them goosebumps. Yet there is someone who, in terms of modifications, does not stop at nothing: it is the case of the owner of this 1972 911… Read More Sacrilege: 1972 Porsche 911 V8
Well, here we are dealing with a typical case of “Hey, how about selling that wreck sitting for thirty years in the garage?” In this specific case, the wreck is a De Tomaso Pantera, probably an “L” model. The patient’s condition does not seem very serious but surely there are many areas on which to… Read More Make offer: 1971 De Tomaso Pantera L
This car was designed by John Crosthwaite and Franco Scaglione, has beautiful lines and yet is still quite unknown to most vintage car enthusiasts. Far from us to want to stimulate a market already quite speculative, but this car is still very undervalued for us, so, at the right price, chances like these should be… Read More American italian: 1968 Intermeccanica Italia Spider
