Road spirit: 1957 MG A Banshee

The Banshee was the female forest spirit in the irish popular tradition, in this case her name was borrowed by the fiberglass producer who dressed this 1957 MGA chassis. Many of these cars have been over-used during the years so many of the remaining cars got enormous wheels, V8 powerplants and many incorrect modifications: this… Read More Road spirit: 1957 MG A Banshee

Green code: 1952 Cadillac Meteor Ambulance

We’ve seen some Cadillac Meteor for sale, but never a car this old. It’s a 1952 green ambulance whick looks rather tired and in need of a lot of work. The seller says that he bought this car in 1986, then he have rebuilt the engine (spending more than $7,000) but the car is basically unused… Read More Green code: 1952 Cadillac Meteor Ambulance

Original old girl: 1956 Ford Thunderbird

This white ’56 Thunderbird is said to be an unrestored matching numbers car which, although it shows some signs of the time, is still in beautiful conditions. The seller says that the car has 69,783 original miles. The 289 c.i. engine is mated with a three-speed manual transmission; some interesting features of this car are the wire… Read More Original old girl: 1956 Ford Thunderbird

Seller submission: One-off 1957 Triumph TR3 “Berlinetta”

The seller of this one-off fiberglass berlinetta based on a 1957 Triumph TR3 chassis is a usual Classic Virus reader and he’s a true classic cars enthusiast. He submitted to us this nice car which body was made probably in the early sixties in the U.S.A., during the “Fiberglass era”. The photo above shows the… Read More Seller submission: One-off 1957 Triumph TR3 “Berlinetta”

Pebble Beach racer: 1955 Swartley O.S.C.A. Special

That’s the very first time that we know of an american racing special powered by an italian engine: in the past many used to build cars with the opposite formula: american engines had more power while being cheap to buy and to be serviced and often they were mated to tiny italian bodies and frames. This… Read More Pebble Beach racer: 1955 Swartley O.S.C.A. Special

Once was Big: 1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible

Here it is the heavyweight of the Corvette breed: this was the biggest Corvette available back then. “Was” because the original engine has been replaced in the past with a 396 c.i. which, although enough powerful, has not the “allure” of the original unit. The seller says that the car has still the original rear suspensions… Read More Once was Big: 1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible

My loss, your gain: 1956 Willys Jeep 2WD

We’ve read so many stories about cars parked many years because of whatever reason, nut we never read of a car parked 40 years because of a bad water pump: this is what the seller says. And, we must admit that it’s the first time we see a Willys with road specifications: never seen one before… Read More My loss, your gain: 1956 Willys Jeep 2WD

Total crossbreed: 1957 Austin Healey 100/6 “The California”

We are used to see many rebodied italian cars but rarely we’ve seen a rebodied AH 100/6: this car is said to have been rebodied during the sixties and, for sure, who made this was both influenced by the Ferrari California and the Corvette C3. Indeed the nose looks like a Corvette C3 while the… Read More Total crossbreed: 1957 Austin Healey 100/6 “The California”

Still wrapped: 1960 Chevrolet Impala 2 doors

It’s not uncommon to see some barn finds but it’s quite rare to see a preserved car like this one. It’s a 1960 Impala hardtop which seems to be just carried out from a time-proof capsule. The most astonishing detail of this car is of course the original plastic which still wraps both front and… Read More Still wrapped: 1960 Chevrolet Impala 2 doors

Aggressive kit car: 1961 Kellison J5

The seller seems a bit stingy of words to describe this car, so at least we try to tell a brief history about Kellison kit cars. In 1954 Jim Kellison, a former aerospace engineer from Folsom, California, penned the aggressive line of this car which was designed to be built on a rectangular section steel frame.… Read More Aggressive kit car: 1961 Kellison J5
