This 914/6 is not an original “GT” but it was born however with a flat six heart, which undoubtedly gives to the car an higher value than a 914/4 has. The body has been widened with steel, so luckily what we have here is not the typical 914/6 widened using fiberglass fenders: such wide body, mated… Read More Widened with metal: 1970 VW-Porsche 914/6
We don’t have a trustworthy source to confirm that, but the seller says that only 280 of these cars were made and, as we suppose that the seller has done his homework, we don’t have any reason to doubt about that. With this car Michelotti gave a further proof of his genius. This little spider was… Read More That aggressive face: 1964 OSI 1200 Spider
That’s the very first time that we know of an american racing special powered by an italian engine: in the past many used to build cars with the opposite formula: american engines had more power while being cheap to buy and to be serviced and often they were mated to tiny italian bodies and frames. This… Read More Pebble Beach racer: 1955 Swartley O.S.C.A. Special
Mr. Rapley confirms his skills in finding Zagato cars. What we have here is a double sale: a 750 Double Bubble and a (stock) Fiat 600 Multipla. The Zagato needs everything: no engine or gearbox (even if the seller provides them apart, and even more than one), floors have to be rebuilt and, substantially, a… Read More Buncha Fiat 600: 1959 Abarth Zagato 750 and Fiat 600 Multipla
It’s crazy, it’s odd, it’s a Fiat hot rod. We could never imagine a transformation like this for a Fiat 600D but, like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle used to say, reality is way more bizarre than how fiction could ever be. The seller says that this car benefitted of a rotisserie restoration and only then four… Read More Euro trash-hot-rod: 1964 Fiat 600D
The seller of the beautiful blue car (see related) opened our eyes on this very rare and particular car, and here is another one: don’t expect to see another one for sale for a while. Here we have the same car in a different color combo: a cream exterior mated to a tobacco leather interiors:… Read More Enter the second: 1961 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet by Pininfarina
Actually “barn” is a sweet word used in the title but this car looks to be stored somewhere more likely to a container than a barn. However, the point is that this car has been stored since many years and, if the period photo provided by the seller is one of the last taken before… Read More Farewell barn, hello world: 1953 MG TD
We know that such poetic verse could be a bit too stretched to be used for a car but, what we have realized in many years is that, even the “humblest” classic car could astonish you if it’s properly set up and if your mind is not biased by concepts like “value”. This Fiat 128 Sport Coupé… Read More The eternal sunshine of the spotless mind: 1975 Fiat 128 Sport Coupé
We featured another Fiat OSCA 1600S Coupè (type 118b) last year: that was a beautiful car which needed nothing, and the asking price was a little more of the half of this one. We said that it is a rare car – 273 made as the seller says – but we didn’t believe that it… Read More Hot market: 1963 Fiat 1600S OSCA Coupé
We’d never imagine that a little economy car could have such stance if properly lowered like this MG 1100. And, that’s even more surprising as we’re talking about a one owner, exceptionally preserved car. The seller says that this car was sold new in San Francisco, CA. and that the owner has always kept this vehicle indoors… Read More Stancefully yours: 1966 MG 1100
