The only weakness of this car is that its performance can’t give… Read More European Caddy: 1966 Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Coupé
What I’ve never understood it’s how come I always find the car of my dreams in the wrong moment. This car is advertised as a “simple” BMW 2002, but when you read the description you spot the magic word: “Turbo”. That’s the reason why you see the wide fenders and the Scheel sport seats. Of… Read More Incomplete description: 1974 BMW 2002 Turbo
Ok, this truck has not the loving appeal of the VW Samba, but for sure it is not less head-turner than its german fellow.

The seller sats that this truck has been restored in 1992,… Read More Reincarnate Samba: 1965 Mercedes-Benz L319
It’s not usual at all to see a TC (also known as Typ 145) for sale, as these were quite rare cars because back then they were not a best seller at all. The TC was built by Karmann-Ghia do Brasil and it was born by the pencil of Giorgetto Giugiaro, in the last period before leaving Ghia… Read More The other aircooled: 1970 Karmann-Ghia TC
The title says what every classic cars enthusiast does really think: that’s true for any car, but it’s even more true when it’s about a Porsche 911. This is an early SC with a 3000 cc. flatsix engine, probably in the 188 hp configuration, but we can’t know it as both the 188 and 204 hp… Read More It’s original once: 1980 Porsche 911 SC

Morevover it is said to be a matching… Read More Strange coincidences: 1958 Porsche 356A Speedster
It’s rare to spot a Glas GT in the U.S.A. as few were delivered into the country: you can imagine how many may have survived so far. This is one of those. Tjis “typical” barn find is one of the last Glas produced: we believed that since late ’66 they were badged as BMW but this… Read More Hope green: 1967 Glas 1700 GT
This Karmann Ghia is one of the few equipped with the vacuum-operated clutch system, called “Autostick”. Unfortunately this car needs much more than a clutch rebuild to run again. The seller says that it’s not a driveable car (you don’t need much imagination capabilities to understand that) and that it’s a California car so the exterior… Read More Autostick car: 1968 Karmann Ghia Convertible
Differently from the Euro Version, this rare Carrera 2.7 (chassis #9114400178) has the typical equipment for the american market: a “green” engine and different headlights. However, it’s still a ducktail car which shares the same 911/83 engine of the Carrera RS even if, in this particular version, it has less power. The seller says that… Read More American ducktail: 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7
It’s not so hard to understand why this rare car was called “Glaserati”: the designer of this car – Pietro frua who was also a known coachbuilder – was probably a bit lazy so the car looks something in the middle of his previous creation, the Quattroporte (front), and another Maserati by Vignale, the Sebring… Read More The Glaserati: 1967 Glas 2600 V8
