This 356 T5 was born as a Karmann Hardtop, so that means that it was basically a Cabriolet with a metal hardtop welded on the body: the actual owner removed it but he didn’t stop here. Indeed he tried to transform this car in something between a Speedster and a Roadster, removing all the “useless”… Read More Funny car: 1961 Porsche 356 T5 Hardtop “Sprint”
“Spyder” is not a typo: actually we’ve checked the period sale brochure and, indeed, Cisitalia called these open cars “Spyder”, just like the Porsche 550 RS. Strange indeed. Back to this particular car, we suspect that this could be the same car we’ve published here some months ago but we’re not sure of it, so… Read More Fair price: 1961 Cisitalia-Abarth 850 Spyder by Allemano
This 3rd series Lancia Appia Berlina slept for many years in a east coast garage before being recently unhearted: it has just been cleaned but nothing more than that. The seller says that, prior to 1970, the car belinged to a couple of guys living in Texas, then, in 1980, the car was sold to… Read More East coast patina: 1961 Lancia Appia Berlina
One owner since 1963 is generally a great thing for any car, especially if the car is a rare Facel Vega HK 500. This car could even be exactly as it looked in 1963, unfortunately the past owner decided to repaint it in 1974 but the job was never completed. Of course the good is… Read More 55 years ownership: 1961 Facel Vega HK 500
Did you ever see a car radio integrated in the rear view mirror? We didn’t, so this is the first time; however that’s not the only interesting aspect of this Cisitalia 850 Coupé. This is one of the few Cisitalia-Argentina built by the son of Piero Dusio, the founder of Cisitalia who left Italy for… Read More Invest in gold/2: 1961 Cisitalia-Abarth 850 Coupé by Allemano
The Daimler SP 250 is the typical car that can be loved or hated: it’s difficult to find someone for whom the look of this car is indifferent. Clearly the seller loves it so much that he owns three of them. The first one is a 1961 BRG car which has been converted into a race… Read More Package deal: 1961, ’62 and ’63 Daimler SP 250
This enormous Dodge Dart Pioneer is not only a police car with all the proper duty equipment, but it’s also a movie star. Indeed the seller says that this car has been used in three different movies: a low budget one named “Margarine Wars“, “Conviction” with Hillary Swank and the third (seller’s personal favorite) “Kill… Read More Kill the Irishman: 1961 Dodge Dart Pioneer “Police”
I know this car. I know where it was sold new 56 years ago, how many owners it had up to 2011 and every detail about how, where and when it was restored. Simply because it was restored by me. So, once in life, I don’t mind what the seller says because I know the… Read More Old chap: 1961 Italia 2000 by Vignale
And here it is another Italia 2000 for sale: generally it happens once a year, rarely more than that. This is the body #59. Actuall this car is titled as a 1961 car but, the low number of the body means that this car has been built in 1959 or 1960, however it is quite… Read More Green card: 1961 Italia 2000 by Vignale
There is one photo only of this Flaminia Coupé built by Touring coachworks: the faded red paint will of course mislead the reader but the seller says that this car was born painted in gray mated to red leather interiors. There is not much more that we can say apart from that the car look… Read More Born grey: 1961 Lancia Flaminia Coupé GT by Touring
