In the classic car world there’s no any bigger cliché than a Porsche 356 carried out of a garage, even better if covered with patina. About this car, we are on the edge between “patina” and “wreck”, but at last we are more oriented towards the first term. The seller says that this car has… Read More The european job: 1956 Porsche 356A Cabrio
It’s sky blue, it’s a Beetle, it has a ragtop and a black plate and it comes from southern California: I mean, what else to ask? It’s a 1963 Bug which features a beautiful color combo and a great looking condition. The seller says that a lot of effort has been spent on this car: a… Read More California correct: 1963 VW Beetle Ragtop
It’s the first time (again!) that we see this car, although we know Glas company, at least for their products made during the sixties. However, we didn’t know this car so far and we must admit that it’s absolutely lovely, beginning from the kiwi green which is very appropriate for a new zealander car. Who… Read More Kiwi anyway: 1957 Glas Goggomobil Dart
Differently from what the common sense tells, germans too could build little and economy spiders like this one. However, this NSU still shows its german DNA as it’s powered by a Wankel rotary engine installed behind the rear axle. The first thought we had when we saw this car was to admire how clear was… Read More Rotary fins: 1965 NSU 56-Wankel Spider
Differently from the last week, this friday we close with an heavyweight. That’s an early 911, once painted in Irish Green, then in this beautiful copper shade: must say that the paint job is very well made. The seller, a Porsche specialist, says that this is a matching number car which, with the exception of… Read More Air cooled copper: 1965 Porsche 911
In the late fifities NSU asked to Bertone coachworks to design a little sporty coupé based on the Prinz chassis. This task was done by Franco Scaglione, car design genius, who created these pleasant lines which have a clear kindred with the lines of the Alfa Romeo Sprint Speciale. This car looks like a beautifully… Read More Scaglione’s touch: 1959 NSU Prinz Sport
Actually hearses are always a good choice as they’re generally used less than a common car and as they often have had a good manteinance: it should be quite embarassing to have mechanical problems during a funeral. This 280 SE, once removed the funeral “eqipment”, could be a nice station wagon as it looks very… Read More No superstition: 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE Hearse
The Isetta had also a big sister, and that was the 600 limousine. This version was capable to carry four people also with the help if an additional door on the passenger side. Of course it hasn’t the same funny look of the smaller sister, but it is an head turner indeed. This particular car… Read More Big sister: 1958 BMW Isetta 600 Limousine
Finally a Craigist ad with a lot of quality photos. This one is about a m.y. 1975 911S which is said to be a survivor, so without any repaint or any kind of restoration, even partial, also because it is said to haven’t never been crashed. We know that the 2.7 is the less desirable… Read More Preserved Sahara: 1974 Porsche 911S 2.7 Coupé
Till few, very few years ago, stating that restoring a rust bucket like this 23 windows bus could have a good potential payoff should have seemed at least crazy. Unfortunately now it has sense, as restored buses like this usually fetch six digits prices. Even if the Samba model is the rarest of them all,… Read More Payoff potential: 1962 Volkswagen Bus Samba
