This 1972 BMW 2002 is one of the “Tii” series which could boast, when new, something around 130 h.p. Back then these cars were protagonist of factory derived racing circuit, and this car was built for such purpose. Not many know that this model, until mid-72, had an higher compression ratio so it was slightly… Read More Caged bavarian: 1972 BMW 2002 Tii
We really think that after many years behind the scenes, these cars are beginning to regain the place they deserve. At last, the 3.0 coupé are elegant cars with a quite powerful inline six engine. Of course the injection model is more desired but the two cars (with and without fuel injection) are quite the… Read More Tools included: 1974 BMW 3.0 CS Coupé
This 1965 Porsche 911 belongs to the very rare bunch of Porsche type “901”: we would never have known these Porsches as “911” if Peugeot did not claim its copyrights on the three digits with a zero in the middle. So, what we have here is a very rare ’65 911 covered with a lot… Read More Miss you grandpa: 1965 Porsche 911

This 1964 Karmann Ghia was originally painted in Pacific Blue: probably the paint should have been redone so the solution found was to brush it lightly so the primer could emerge and mix with the blue shade. The result is a very particular effect wich reminds the shark skin pattern. Apart from such odd expedient,… Read More Shark skinned: 1964 Karmann Ghia Cabriolet
Actually we don’t know the the building year of this car (we mean the Porsche body) as the seller doesn’t specify it; we suppose that this is one of the early “bumpers” cars so we arbitrarily decided to title it as a 1975 car. The seller doesn’t specify the story behind this car as well: it… Read More What you won’t expect: 1975 Porsche 911 “Bigfoot”
The seller says that this car (VIN 80798) belongs to his wife’s family since more than fifty years ago. It’s clearly a project car but, as the car has been in the same family for all these years, it should be almost complete and probably rustless (almost). As a project car, interiors have been disassembled… Read More The wife’s car: 1955 Porsche 356 Speedster
We aren’t BMW nuts at all but beauty has not a badge. In this case, beauty gets the shape of 1939 327/28 cabriolet which seems to be in beautiful conditions. As the seller says, this is really one of the most desiderable BMW ever, due to its soft lines and beautiful proportions: a classic example… Read More Before the storm: 1939 BMW 327/28 Cabriolet
In the period between mid ’50’s and mid ’60’s many do-it-yourself builders engaged in building race cars, taking inspirations by european barchettas (mostly Ferrari) but with a cost much lower. The most famous of these guys was Bill Devin who established his workshop in El Monte, CA. He began to build fiberglass bodies using various… Read More The american way: 1960 Devin-D/Porsche Roadster
Ok, where to start from? Mmmmhhh….this car is made melting toghether two front clips of two VW Bugs, giving to the car a perfectly palindrome look. The seller says that although “This car was built strictly for fun” actually “the build-quality is not a joke”. For sure, it wouldn’t have been a joke to build… Read More Push-Me-Pull-You: 1965 Volkswagen Beetle
