Let’s continue with Alfa Romeos in need of restoration, this time with a spider, specifically a 1965 Giulia, which is the last series of its kind, featuring the three-spoke steering wheel and SS instruments, although it still lacks front disc brakes. From the photos posted in the ad, it is clear that the car was… Read More Black and white: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
This Fulvia Sport built by Zagato is part of a batch of cars constructed entirely in aluminum in 1967. Subsequently, due to the construction costs, Zagato began building them in steel. The alloy used was called “Peralluman” (the same used for the body of the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, although the latter was made by… Read More Blue aluminium: 1967 Lancia Fulvia Sport by Zagato
We didn’t understand much from this ad: the seller included “McQueen owned” in the title, which was enough to pique our curiosity. The ad features a photo of a pink slip issued by the California DOT, which we assume refers to the car for sale (the VIN is listed, but there are no photos of… Read More McQueen owned: 1948 Oldsmobile 98 Club Sedan
Rarely does “small” equate to “frightening,” but in this case, we feel an exception is warranted. This 1974 Innocenti Mini, one of those produced by Innocenti (the same company that made the Lambretta scooter, to be clear) under license from Morris, has undergone a heart transplant that transformed it in the best imaginable way: instead… Read More White lightning: 1974 Innocenti Mini “Honda”

For classic car aficionados, the 1967 Fiat Dino 2000 Spider represents a blend of Italian artistry and Ferrari engineering. This particular model is a rare survivor, off the road since 1990.

If you’re a connoisseur of rare classic cars, then the Glas 1700 GT is sure to catch your eye. As one of the rarest German sports car icons, only 122 examples of this vehicle were built through a Bavarian-Italian collaboration. The convertible body, designed by Pietro Frua and manufactured in Italy, is plenty of Italian… Read More The open version: 1966 Glas 1700 GT Cabriolet by Frua
This Lancia Aurelia B53 has a special coupé body built on commission by Alemanno, a historic Turin company that many of you have likely heard of at least once. It is practically impossible to know for certain how many similar cars were built, and when we say “similar,” we do not mean “identical” because, in… Read More Two tone special: 1952 Lancia Aurelia B53 Coupé By Allemano
There are cars that, for us, are as hot as these summer days, not because they are particularly valuable or beautiful but because they are rare gems, in this case, probably unique. This is a “Familiare” version (if you prefer, call it a station wagon or estate) built by the Fissore coachbuilder in Turin on… Read More Green advertiser: 1956 Fiat 1100-103 “Assistenza Michelin” by Fissore
It’s damaged, incomplete, and has no title. But, gentlemen, it is still a GT Veloce (chassis #AR246417), and this is a crucial detail in the overall evaluation. The significant dent on the front right side of the car is very noticeable, and perhaps this same damage is why someone abandoned it. The car likely also… Read More Once was red: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
