This Porsche 356 is said to be a 1965 “C” model: a quick check on the VIN number provided by the seller (#221373) confirms that. We like the blue of the paint which remind us a typical hot-rod shade. Needless to say that the Fuchs wheels fits always well on these cars. Interiors have been… Read More Gentle outlaw: 1965 Porsche 356 C
This rare 1949 VW bug is said to have been restored 25 years ago but, watching the photos, it seems finished no more than 25 days ago.

Interiors are simply perfect: the seller is knowledgeable on old bugs and he states… Read More Garage queen: 1949 Volkswagen Beetle
The seller says that this U.S. spec. 356 SC has been tuned by a known italian Porsche specialist, and since then it has run for about 1000 kms. It features a racing large stripe across the whole body which makes it look like a period racer. Interiors are quite dull but feature a couple of… Read More Striped Karmann: 1963 Porsche 356 SC
This Porsche 914/6 belongs to the actual seller from 1980 (as he says) and, that’s clear, it needs a total restoration. The seller says that papers are ok, that it is complete and rustless and that it has been sitting from years (we easily believe it). The seller doesn’t specify the year but through a… Read More Sixteen for six: 1972 Porsche 914/6
This 1968 Porsche 912 wears the vin #12800001, so it’s the first body made by Karmann coachworks and, according to Porsche Certificate of Authenticity asked by the owner, it was produced on 07/27/1967. The seller says only that the engine is correct (so it’s not original) and that it has a rare 5-speed option. The… Read More Number one: 1968 Porsche 912 by Karmann
This big Benz is said to be a barn find in great overall conditions. The seller says also that in the last year he replaced cap and rotor, waterpump, radiator, hoses, center-bearing, headlamps, and a thorough flush of the oil, trans, and powersteering fluids; all these things mean enough money spent on it. Also a set… Read More Cheap limo: 1975 Mercedes 450 SEL
The 700 series was the car which, back then, saved BMW from bankruptcy: first showed in 1959 at the cost of D.M. 4,760 (few more than $1000) and the fuel consumption of 47 m.p.g. it can be considered the first (and maybe only) BMW produced for the mass: it was a Giovanni Michelotti job which… Read More German Michelotti: 1963 BMW 700 Coupé
This 1964 356C has a very good body, without any major sign of rust or ding or past crashes. The seller says that it is actually a basket case project as he doesn’t have a garage (?).

This barchetta is said to have been built on a DKW in 1953, but the seller doesn’t specify on what model nor who built it. As a 1953 car, it should be based on a DKW 3=6, but in the meantime he says that the engine is a 1000 c.c. unit instead of 900 c.c.… Read More Iron-side: 1953 DKW Barchetta
It’s almost puzzling to see a special 1100-103 Fiat built by a not-italian coachbuilder, but in this case we’re just before such case: this car has been built by german coachbuilder Wendler, the same guy who built the bodies of the Porsche RS 61 and some beautiful Volkswagen-based cars. This car is said to be… Read More Lateral thinking: 1953 Fiat 1100-103 by Wendler
