When we see a project for a ’67 or ’68 Mustang GT390, we have to post it, let alone if it’s about two examples at once. In a remarkable find, two 1967 Mustang Fastbacks, the GT 390 and GTA 390, have surfaced for sale, offering a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts. These models, known… Read More Rare couple: 1967 Ford Mustang GT 390 and GTA 390 Fastback
This Trike represents a fascinating piece of automotive customization, where the historical integrity of the Porsche 356 A coupe’s engineering met some guy’s madness. Imagine if a Porsche 356 A and a Harley Davidson got together at a 1960s rock festival and had a love child; that would be the 1959 356 Trike Rickshaw. This… Read More Psychedelic vehicle: 1959 Porsche 356 Trike Rickshaw
We didn’t understand much about the history of this car. It is indeed certain that there is another one, on which there is expert consensus that it is a Fastback prototype created by Ghia in 1963, but we didn’t know that there was another one out there. We don’t know how complete the car is:… Read More Two sisters: 1963 Ford Thunderbird fastback by Ghia
We didn’t know that as early as ’54 Viotti was already building these small coupés based on the Fiat 600. In fact, we have verified that the first Fiat 600s were delivered in 1955, so we doubt that this car could date back to ’54, as the seller claims. This is the “Coupé” version, much… Read More Cheap and chic / 2: 1955 Fiat 600 Coupé by Viotti
Searching for information on specialized websites, we became aware that about 3 examples of the Aprilia were built by the Swiss Langenthal, but these are unverified data. Certainly, whether it’s 3, 5, or 10, these are ridiculously small numbers—so small that even if you spent a lifetime attending classic car shows, you might never see… Read More 1 of 3: 1947 Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet by Langenthal
Chicago was the last city to see its streets graced by this GT500, and it was exactly 50 years ago when it was parked and never used again. This Shelby Mustang has been parked in a Chicago-area garage since 1976 and hasn’t been driven since 1974. The car’s original Ford VIN number is 7R02Q213641, verifying… Read More Chicago ’74: 1967 Shelby Mustang GT 500
Italian coachbuilders of the last century could be distinguished because each of them had its own imprinting: certainly, Pininfarina was the one who favored the balance of lines and proportions. An example of how Pininfarina’s style is expressed on a car is this beautiful convertible built on the base of a 1947 Lancia Aprilia, for… Read More Deco machine: 1947 Lancia Aprilia Speciale Cabriolet by Pininfarina
If you buy a car to restore it, just do it without waiting for some uncertain event because, sad as it is, it’s an inescapable truth that we never know what the future holds. In this specific case, this pair of Austin-Healey 100-6 belonged to someone who had them in their garage with the intention… Read More Ran when parked: Two 1958 Austin-Healey 100-6
There are cars that have made history not so much on the roads but on the tracks: the one featured here is a Lotus 11, one of the favorite cars among private drivers in the 1950s. The Eleven was designed by Colin Chapman and fitted with a sleek aluminum body designed by aerodynamicist Frank Costin.… Read More Former racer: 1957 Lotus 11
We don’t know exactly in which year and by which coachbuilder this Giulia station wagon dedicated to roadside assistance was built. The year is unspecified by the seller, who mentions 1975, but it seems improbable, given that the production of the car had ended five years prior. The license plate also dates back to 1975,… Read More Unknown coachbuilder: 1975 Alfa Romeo Giulia Diesel “Soccorso stradale”
