Here it is another car we ignored the existence of so far: it’s an interpretation of the Fiat 600 made by one of the most renowned coachbuilders of the last century, Alfredo Vignale. The seller says that’s a very rare car: he’s actually right as this is the first time in years we see one for… Read More A different reading: 1956 Siata 600 by Vignale
This car shares the same destiny which affected a lot of Italian cars in the U.S: a broken engine often implied a swap with a Ford/Chevy V8. That’s even more odd for a car originally equipped with a magnificent DOHC, inline-six engine with a twin spark ignition setup. The strange thing is that this swap… Read More Primed and swapped: 1966 Maserati Mistral Coupé
This former beauty actually needs a complete treatment in a wellness center, including some plastic surgery interventions: both will not be cheap but we’re pretty sure about how good the result will be. In the past we’ve published cars like this one priced one-third of this one but all we know that times are changed… Read More Three under the hood: 1964 Lancia Flaminia Gt Coupé by Touring
Sometimes it happens that, for whatever reason, someone (or another one on his behalf) decides to make room in its garage. This time it happens in Oregon. The first car is a 1959 Giulietta Spider 750 which is said to be 99% restored: the photo is just one but indeed looks like a neat car,… Read More Call Bob: A car collection for sale
This Giulietta Spider is said to be a one owner car: nowadays it’s almost impossible to find one of these cars belonged to the first owner and that’s why we’ve decided to publish it. Indeed it’s a Giulietta Spider type 101 which is actually the less wanted car of the whole Giulietta Spider Breed; actually… Read More Teddy Bear included: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
When we saw this ad we believed that the seller put the wrong description: the car looked like a 1500S Coupé, but actually the seller explains this discrepancy. Indeed this car is said to have been built in november 1962 whilst the “official” build year of the 1600S is 1963: the seller says that this… Read More Hybrid body: 1962 Fiat 1600S Coupé by Pininfarina
Back in the last century coachbuilders were not only involved in producing cars for wealthy and whimsical people but also for workers with taste. This pickup is the proof of that: we used to know that many commercial vehicles were built on the platforms of mass production cars, especially of Fiat and Lancia, but we’ve never… Read More Coachbuilt pickup: 1934 Fiat 508 Van by Bertone
That’s not a news seeing a project car without the lights, both on the front and the rear end: it looks like that headlights and taillights are the most cannibalized part of any car abandoned to its destiny. This Appia Coupé by Pininfarina has had such destiny but, apart from the missing lights which are… Read More Blind project: 1958 Lancia Appia Coupé by Pininfarina
In the past we have already published a couple of ads about this rare car: they were about cars in original conditions (or slightly restored); we didn’t expect at all to see one of these converted in a race car. Of course it doesn’t seem an extreme racecar: it had some modifications like the lexan… Read More Oddball racer: 1970 LMX Sirex
50 years ago the luxury options for a car were way less than today, however there were a lot of coachbuilders who offered luxury and bespoke finishes without spending a fortune.
