The seller of this Sunbeam Tiger claims to have bought the car from a dot-com guy in San Francisco some year ago, and that the car is a real survivor. The person from whom he bought it, in fact, was responsible for rebuilding the drivetrain and all the mechanical systems in order to use the… Read More True survivor: 1965 Sunbeam Tiger
For the umpteenth time we are faced with a car that is very rarely sold, and is also unknown to most. This car was actually an idea born from Opel which, in a very similar version, presented it at the 1969 Frankfurt Motor Show under the name “Style CD”: the prototype met with great success… Read More Doppelgänger: 1975 Bitter Diplomat CD
The intent of many car builders during the 60s and 70s was to build beautiful, powerful but not overly expensive cars, and there was only one way to achieve this. In fact, the solution consisted of coupling a European body, generally more suited to a sports car, to an American engine that, although not technically… Read More Protein cure: 1964 Sunbeam Tiger
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
