Times have changed and now it could be worth even to underline the sale of a bare shell (with some ancillaries) of a 250 GTE which, if complete and restored, is now worth even an half million dollars. Probably the chassis and engine of this car has been used years ago as a base to… Read More Ghost in the shell: 1960 Ferrari 250 GTE “body”
The seller says that this is a rare find in the U.S., and we agree with him. These were not officially imported in the U.S.A. and even then, they would have be too expensive, especially if compared with the huge american sedan competitors. However, this car need more than some work: the seller sasy that… Read More Matt black berlina: 1959 Lancia Appia Series II
Two Alfa’s today. This time our “one car per working day” has been missed, but this one’s too interesting to let it go. It’s a 1947 Freccia D’Oro (“Golden Arrow”) from the same seller of the 2500 GT posted some days ago. A lot of work is needed here: bottom-up and front to rear, btu… Read More Post-war class: 1947 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 “Freccia D’Oro”
This Giulietta Sprint 750b (chassis #3088) looks like a stalled project. The work done is nothing like a total restoration but a serious “make up”. Indeed the paint looks good (don’t ever trust photos to judge a paint job) but the undercarriage looks original and with some traces of rust but, from here, it looks like… Read More Texan red italian: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
The production of this little BMW fastback began when the german firm bought Glas, a german whorkshop which basically made most of their cars starting from a BMW chassis and engine. Indeed this car started its life as a Glas 1300 GT in 1964: yet then Glas asked to italian master coachbuilder Pietro Frua to… Read More Italian-german hybrid: 1968 BMW 1600GT by Frua
This car was the last Alfa Romeo made using chassis and engine of the great 6C series. It was called “berlina” even if it had two doors only. Of course in 1952 the 6C layout was obsolete but, because of the damage suffered after the WWII bombing, in the early post war period Alfa had… Read More Last of its breed: 1952 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Gran Turismo
The seller of this modified Giulia 1600 “Ti look” is at least honest: he says that this car has rust (how much?) and dents and that that’s not a show car but a car ready to be driven. Other than that, he says that the original engine has been swapped with a tuned 2000 c.c.… Read More Rust, dents and a power plate: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Super
It has been a long time since we don’t see one of these mean Fiat 130, and now we’ve found a survivor of the last production year. These cars were built between the 1968 and the 1973, this car was generally appreciated for its lines but, both for the selling price and for the huge… Read More Executive class: 1973 Fiat 130 Berlina
Once upon a time there was a superb and elegant coupè called 1900 C Super Sprint, usually driven by jet-set people who liked the ialian style. Now it’s sad and rotten, but for sure it will find a saviour. This is the last series (3rd) of the 1900 family, which has the best look and… Read More Once upon a time: 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 C Super Sprint by Touring
This is not the first OSI 20M TS living in the U.S.A., but for sure is the best seen so far. Very few of these are on the american soil as it was never officially imported to the U.S. Indeed the seller says that the only american owner found it during a trip to Italy… Read More Mustard special: 1967 OSI 20M TS Coupé
