Exactly as the title suggests, we publish this beautiful boat on which, however, we have some curiosities to satisfy. The seller says that the aluminum bodywork was made by Viotti, and this is a great thing as long as it is possible to prove it by means of documentation and / or photos of the… Read More No head inlets: 1957 O.S.C.A. 1500 S by Viotti
If we exclude high-end cars. in the 60s the car models with a double overhead camshaft engine, intended for an “average” clientele, could be counted on the fingers of one hand. In Italy, in addition to the Alfa Romeo (of course) one could opt for another car, which in our opinion was no less fascinating… Read More The rival: 1961 Fiat 1500S OSCA Coupé by Pininfarina
This is a single car but it has two engines, one inside the engine compartment, the other is incomplete and is located in another State. The seller says that the engine currently installed was rebuilt with new rod bearings, pistons and cylinders checked with new piston rings, a valve job, appropriate shims, new timing chain,… Read More One car, two engines: 1963 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint
We have already seen this Corvette C3 for sale in a few weeks, but we had never mentioned it because it is not one of the most sought after models. However, this car has two unique characteristics: a very beautiful color and 1433 original miles. We are convinced that, even if you are not a… Read More 1,433 original miles: 1980 Chevrolet Corvette C3 T-Top L-82
Every time we see a Fiat 1100 or 1200 TV Spider for sale in the US, we wonder what the tortuous path that led it to the other side of the pond may have been. In this case, the owner’s first name seems Italian so it is also probable that this car came to California… Read More Totally open: 1957 Fiat 1200 TV Trasformabile
There are replicas of all kinds, badly made, ridiculous, so-so, done well: this Simca 8 certainly belongs to the last category. It is a Simca Gordini barchetta rebuilt based on the chassis, engine and suspension of a Simca 8 (already quite rare in itself). Now, someone will turn up their nose seeing a Simca 8… Read More Red copy: 1953 Simca Gordini Barchetta replica
As we have already written several times, the beauty of many hand-built fiberglass cars is the story that leads to their construction, often obscure and full of missing parts. This shell was made by Bill Devin, well known in the field of car racing for having created bodies that fit to Volkswagen and Porsche chassis,… Read More Empty shell: 1957 VW-Devin D 295
We have already talked about classic cars this week in “driver” conditions, but here we propose another one even if completely different from the 2600 Spider. Completely different for everything: year, type and construction philosophy; we have in fact realized that it is difficult to find an Alfa Romeo enthusiast who is also an Porsche… Read More Radium chance: 1952 Porsche 356 Coupé
The biggest problem of a classic car enthusiast, regardless of which brand he is passionate about, is finding the right car at the right price. In fact, especially in the last 6-7 years, cars under driver conditions have practically become extinct and are increasingly being either rottamon high prices, or cars restored to high levels… Read More In the middle: 1963 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider by Touring
Let’s not fool ourselves, this car is a mess, but it still has all the most important parts: engine, gearbox, dashboard and seats. The seats are particularly important because this splendid design was only available in 1969 (if we exclude the GTAs) and, although very faithful reproductions are made in Italy, the original ones are… Read More No warranty: 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce
