The GTC was probably a bet of Alfa Romeo, maybe to test the waters when the era of the Giulietta Spider definitely arrived to the last stop. Whatever it was made for, the bet was lost. First of all because of the cost: the production of this car was given to Touring in Milano, a… Read More Open minded: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTC
The seller of this 1750 Gt Veloce says that he owns the car since 1985 when it was is daily driver until 1991 when he was “distracted” by a war so he left the car without the spark plug installed. So the engine rusted and the owner didn’t drive them since. The problem is that… Read More Distracted by war: 1969 Alfa Romeo GT 1750 Veloce
The long time owner and seller of this particular Volvo calls it “Old Faithful” and that’s probably because he owns it since many years. When we see cars like this we wonder how strange is that people in U.S. could buy a little wagon like this, also with a small engine just when the U.S.… Read More Old faithful: 1958 Volvo PV445 Duett
Still in France today to check a couple of interesting cars, one of which will be sacrificed to let the other one live for many years ahead. That’s about a couple of Simca 1200S designed by Bertone, one of the cars we like most because it’s tiny, has a cute shape and also a spicy engine… Read More Two for one: 1969 Simca 1200s by Bertone
This rare find is a Citroen M35 (chassis #449), one of the very few survived during the last 40 years. It was based on the chassis of the Ami8 but it is different in many ways. First of all the body, which has a lower roof, a fastback tail and two doors only, the body… Read More Wankel attempt: 1971 Citroen M35 by Heuliez
This poor baby has so many problems that, if you look at it from the side, it doesn’t even look like a first series Giulietta Sprint, which it is. That’s because, even though we clearly see that this car has more rust than metal, it also lacks of everything: the glasses all around are gone,… Read More Open air project: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
Update, same day: Turns out that the car is a real Carrera GT but this ad is a scam: the true car is for sale at €79k here in Milano, Italy. Santa’s dead, of course. There is an issue here: this Porsche 924 is advertised as a “normal” 924 but the look of the car… Read More Real or not: 1979 Porsche 924 “Carrera GT”
This ’66 Corvette Roadster is actually painted in a not original color, on the other side interiors are basically untouched,showing a beautiful green shade. Indeed the original color of this car is the Mosport Green which is something in the middle of silver and green: such color with green interiors is a very particular and… Read More Almost green: 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster
Sometimes one of this rare Fiat 1600S OSCA Coupé pops up somewhere; that’s not easy as just 273 of these have been made so you barely see one around. This one needs a total restoration: the seller says that the car is complete and basically solid apart from a serous rust problem just near the… Read More Matt silver: 1964 Fiat 1600S Osca Coupé by Pininfarina
The last thing we’d expect to see was a BMW M1 in the typical “barn find” conditions: dust, flat tires and some stuff covering its nose and roof. But this is it. The former italian owner has driven this car for 7,329 kms and then he left it in a garage; of course something bad has happened… Read More Odd barn find: 1981 BMW M1
