This late Giulietta 750F has had some transplant which involved its engine and not only: for sure this should be quite quicker than when it was born. Indeed the seller says that it is a 750F: we believe him but at the same time we have spotted the mother of all issues: the engine clearly… Read More Giulia inside: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
March 10 Here it is again, this time on eBay, with current bidding at $60,000 and reserve price not met. Thanks to reader Brian for this tip. January 30, 1015 In 1953 the 356 was still made using a bent windshield as well as in 1954 (the last year of this feature), but 1953 was… Read More Bent window: 1953 Porsche 356
This 750E Giulietta (chassis #1493E*23895) is one of the latest cars produced with that model tag: it has already some characters of the 101 series like the bigger headlights, different front grilles and heart along with a different engine code (106), but still it’s a Veloce. The first impression which comes to mind watching the… Read More Late car: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
The enormous number of variations based on the Fiat 1100 platform included, of course, a station wagon body, actually already made on the 1100-103 model of the late fifties and then continued until the early seventies. This station wagon, called “Familiare” is based on the penultimate version of the 1100 dynasty, the “D” series which… Read More Enough space: 1966 Fiat 1100D Familiare
It has been a long time since we published a 356 to restore, and the main reason is that these project are becoming rarer and rarer as almost all the barn finds have been trailed out of their barns. However, as this car demonstrates, there is still something out there. This car is a model year 1954 356… Read More Rescue me: 1954 Porsche 356 Cabrio
That’s not actually usual to find a car with such ourageous style in a paddock but actually Lancia built also a prototype racer based on this strange Zagato creation so, if you know some italian cars history, you won’t be astonished to see on of these around a track. This particular car (1 0f 25… Read More Outrageous racer: 1965 Lancia Flavia Sport by Zagato
No papers, no engine, no build year: these are the first things to deal with if you are going to buy this car which needs much more than an engine and a transmission. Indeed the “1966” put in the title is just a guess: the seller didn’t tell about it nor we could know it… Read More More than bravery: 1966 Lancia Flaminia 2500 3C Convertibile by Touring
We are perfectly aware that these cars aren’t much loved by most people but a small bunch of passionate fans but, because we are part of these, it was obligatory for us to publish this very early KG. Very early as 1955 was the first production year for the Karmann Ghia and in that year… Read More Low gravity, Lower chassis: 1955 Karmann Ghia Coupè
More than a proper coupé this Granluce (something like “great light”) is basically a two door sedan: actually back in the early fifties this was the cutting edge Fiat model just after, of course, the 8V. And few knows that this car was originally designed to be pushed by the famous 8V Fiat engine, mostly because… Read More Panoramic view: 1954 Fiat 1900 “Granluce” Coupé
Veloce means “Fast”, so this car in particular (chassis #1495F*03305) should be very fast as it is powered by a 350 c.i. Chevrolet engine and an automatic transmission. Of course purists (and not only) will have goosebumps watching how deep this car has been modified: basically nothing remains of a Giulietta Spider but the body (bonnet not… Read More Misinterpretation: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
