This ’67 GT Veloce was probably born painted in “Faggio”, but the Texas sun made its job properly and now it looks basically “cooked”. It’s however an interesting project. It wears a set of BWA mag wheels and, despite few rust spot, it doesn’t seem sentenced to death by the metal cancer. On the contrary,… Read More Cooked to perfection: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
Here it is the heavyweight of the Corvette breed: this was the biggest Corvette available back then. “Was” because the original engine has been replaced in the past with a 396 c.i. which, although enough powerful, has not the “allure” of the original unit. The seller says that the car has still the original rear suspensions… Read More Once was Big: 1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible
Actually “few words” it’s an euphemism as the seller completely forgot to add a description of the car. But more than that, we suppose that the seller thought “car and photos speak by themselves” and we must say that he didn’t go so far from that. Indeed this is a 1600 c.c. car which is… Read More Few words, much car: 1973 Lancia Fulvia Coupé HF 1600 By Zagato
After a two years production (1958-1960) and a little more than 2000 cars made, the MG A Twin Cam came out of the production lines, both because the engine used to give much troubles to the owners and for its high selling price. However, just after the end of the production, the cause of such… Read More Rough diamond: 1958 MG-A Twin Cam
Update, March 28: this beautiful Honda is still for sale but the seller has considerably lowered the price. Now it is for sale here at €11,000 (today $15,000). The S600 roadster was much more common than its coupé sister, however we find that this model is way more fascinating. Indeed the average production of the S600… Read More Revvy red: 1965 Honda S600 Roadster
If we must be sincere, we don’t like the Cortina so much under the aesthetic point of view. It has a quite bulky look but no one can say that it hasn’t temper. Moreover this car, cute or not, “gives its opinion” in every classic cars race it joins, thanks to its lightness and the… Read More Like Jim Clark: 1965 Ford Cortina Lotus
We’ve read so many stories about cars parked many years because of whatever reason, nut we never read of a car parked 40 years because of a bad water pump: this is what the seller says. And, we must admit that it’s the first time we see a Willys with road specifications: never seen one before… Read More My loss, your gain: 1956 Willys Jeep 2WD
Differently from what you could suppose, the Vespa 400 was built in France by ACMA (a Piaggio spin-off), because Piaggio wanted to avoid any commercial conflict with Fiat which, back then, was the incumbent little cars producer and the most powerful economic (and not only) institution in Italy. Jumping back to this car, the seller bought… Read More Four-wheeled scooter: 1961 Vespa 400S
Differently from the 750 series, it’s harder to distinguish a normal Giulia Sprint from a Veloce. The 750 was immediatly recognizable from the Perspex windows: it indeed had a more aggressive and racing-oriented look. The 101 is more a grand tourer, even if with the heart of a proper Alfa. The seller doesn’t specify if… Read More A different heart: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Veloce
Update, March 24 The has been put again for sale, we suppose by the same seller, at £21,000 (today $35,000) here in Kampenhout, Belgium. This 2600 spider is said to be a barn find: that barn should have been very wet as this car has serious rust issues all over the body. There is one only photo of the… Read More Rust is the word: 1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider by Touring
