It is the first time we see such dark red on a 308, after having consulted the color codes for the 1978 we found out that this color was called by the factory “Rosso Dino”. As it usual happens on CL, the ad features few, ugly photos and a poor, almost missing description. The obly things… Read More Not the usual red: 1978 Ferrari 308 GTS
Once again here it is another relic of the magnificent and bygone era of hand-crafted italian sports cars. It is called “Siluro” (Torpedo) as usual for this kind of cars. This is one of the many (most of which lost) cars made by small coachworks (often made by one of two craftsmen) for private parties who… Read More Disused postwar torpedo: 1948 Fiat 500 “Siluro”
This is the umpteenth Alfa auctioned by the same seller: he also sold a couple of 2500 in the past. All these cars needed a big restoration but they all were in fair conditions. This is the time of a 1900 Super Sprint (chassis #1900C.10468) which, as the old Alfa Romeo papers say, has been sold… Read More Style isn’t cheap: 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Sprint
In the year of Maserati Centennial it is quite mandatory to publish at least one Maserati per month. This is the time of a 1964 Quattroporte (the seller put “1965” into the title nut then he says that it is a ’64 car) which need a lot of care and work to shine again. The… Read More Matching number project: 1964 Maserati Quattroporte
It’s the first time we publish an engine alone for sale, but this is a very special and rare piece. We don’t know exactly in what year this engine has been built, so we arbitrarily assigned to it the year 1966. The number is coherent with such engine type and it seems that it has been… Read More The first step: 1966 Alfa Romeo GTA engine
We are used to see Alfa Romeo Giulia’s built for italian police (mostly replicas), and sometimes some little van (built until mid ’80s), but we’ve never seen a Fiat 600 with such livery. As the seller says, this car is not a replica but a true 600 used by Carabinieri corps, it still has the… Read More Beyond coolness: 1966 Fiat 600 “Carabinieri”
Yes, this is an hard restoration as the spanish title says: this 1968 Mexico has been completely dismantled and so it’s the typical job for the braves. It often happens that a bad driver is dismantled to be restored and after few months it simply lays in a garage for years, waiting for someone who… Read More Restauración difícil: 1968 Maserati Mexico
I barely remeber the Deauville because my father had it (for one week only) when I was younger than 10: I however remember how luxurious were the interiors and how huge was the torque of its 350 c.i. Ford engine. The Deauville, designed by Tom Tjaarda, was made to compete with Mercedes and Jaguar on their own playground… Read More Muscle luxury sedan: 1976 De Tomaso Deauville
This Giulietta Spider is said to be a 1959 but, as the chassis number is 1495*472, we suspect that is a very early swb, probably a ’56. The seller says that this is a former racer which joined many events like Watkins Glen, Belmont, Lime Rock and many others: he says that the car got a… Read More Former racer granny: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Lately it’s not easy to find interesting classic cars for sale, especially for picky guys like we are. However, luckily someone, many years ago, thought to leave cars like this in a barn, just to let them being discovered many years later. This 1962 Appia cabriolet was one of the few made by Vignale which… Read More Hibernated lady: 1962 lancia Appia Cabriolet by Vignale
