This is the typical “stalled project”: a Porsche 356 to be transformed in “outlaw style” but, this time, using a flat-four Subaru WRX Turbo engine and transmission: that’s what we call “lateral thinking”. That’s a really strange idea: for sure it’s the first time we see such choice as the typical engine used in these… Read More Japanese flat-four: 1961 Porsche 356 “Outlaw”
“Landespolizei” means “State Police” in german language and yes, the car which saved BMW from bankruptcy was also used from german police for their road tasks: hard to think how this little bug could afford a pursuit of a Porsche 356 or of a Mercedes SL. This particular car had clearly benefitted by a ground-up… Read More Landespolizei: 1957 BMW Isetta
We’ve seen many Mercedes 190 SL for sale, some were in desperate conditions, some perfectly restored, many good drivers but we’ve never seen a car like this, in such original and preserved conditions. The seller says that the first and only owner bought this car in 1963 from Mercedes-Benz of Hollywood, for $2,794. Many years… Read More Time machine: 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
The Celica was born in 1970 and since then it was produced in several versions, up to TA35 type. Alle these models belong to what is generally known as the first series.

The are good cars, there are project cars and there are challenges which could scare even the bravest man on the earth: this “car” is one of that.

C’mon, who didn’t think, watching the car driven by lieutenant Columbo, “Hey but…what the hell is that wreck?” Believe it or not, that car is a sister of the gorgeous car submitted to us by its owner and seller and featured here. It is called 403 Cabriolet Grand Luxe and in this version it has… Read More Seller submission: 1959 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet Grand Luxe by Pininfarina
Update, november 29: The ad has been removed, draw your conclusions. Actually the seller doesn’t say anything about the year of this car: of course because he says that the car has no plates nor papers. We suspect that this car is a 1969 as the VIN is very low: this should be the 46st… Read More Well stored: 1969 ISO Lele
This Moretti 750 has been carried out from a barn, along with other italian classics, where it sat for many years.

This Giulia Super was a former 1600 c.c. car when born, however it received a peppy treatment to make it look badder and go faster.

The seller says that the transplanted engine is a 1800 c.c. twin spark Alfa unit… Read More Twin spark fury: 1970 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super
