There is a big question here: is this car a true Zagato spider or just a cut car which is useless now? Indeed Zagato built just an handful of these cars and how it often happens for these coachbuild specials, it’s difficult to know the exact number of the specimen produced: to be honest, before… Read More Real or experiment: 1968 Lancia Fulvia Spider by Zagato
When we have seen at a glance this ad we thought “WOW”: unfortunately it was too good to be true. Indeed this is an SWB 911S but the problem here is that the car is equipped with a “T” engine, so we’re talking about the 40% less power than the original equipment, as well as… Read More Correct engine required: 1968 Porsche 911S SWB
This sand beige swb 911 (chassis #11835733) seems in a fair condition and actually the seller says that is a usable car, but recently it had some brakes problems so the seller suggest to bring a trailer. The paint of this car should be the first one: the dull aspect and some cracks on it… Read More Vintage sand: 1968 Porsche 911
In the same moment I’m writing this article, pre-bumper Porsche’s prices are so high that even a “basic” 912 at this price can be considered a good deal. It is said to be a rust free 912 which has been stored during the last 17 years. It is clearly an US model, probably been driven… Read More Burgundy flat four: 1968 Porsche 912
Yes, this is an hard restoration as the spanish title says: this 1968 Mexico has been completely dismantled and so it’s the typical job for the braves. It often happens that a bad driver is dismantled to be restored and after few months it simply lays in a garage for years, waiting for someone who… Read More Restauración difícil: 1968 Maserati Mexico
We believe that Italy was the only place on hearth where someone could think to build a twin cam engine powered van, and that place was Arese, just outside Milano, in a factory called Alfa Romeo. Indeed this van (along with others like Romeo 1° and 2°) is powered by the same single carburetor of the… Read More Twin cam van: 1968 Alfa Romeo F12
This blog is now the official home of these cars. Here in another one living in France (like most of these cars, if you exclude Germany) which looks quite good. Differently from the other OSI 20M TS published here, this car has a little boss on the bonnet which could maybe hide an engine bigger… Read More Gimme one more: 1968 OSI 20M TS Coupé
The production of this little BMW fastback began when the german firm bought Glas, a german whorkshop which basically made most of their cars starting from a BMW chassis and engine. Indeed this car started its life as a Glas 1300 GT in 1964: yet then Glas asked to italian master coachbuilder Pietro Frua to… Read More Italian-german hybrid: 1968 BMW 1600GT by Frua
Moretti was an historic brand of the coachbuilt cars world but, unfortunately, like its competitors it began to have financial problems at the end of the sixties: the great coachbuilder era was going to quit and, with the exception of Pininfarina and Ghia, most coachbuilders must shrink their dreams of glory and take care of… Read More Dino’s daughter: 1968 Moretti Sportiva
My friend (and reader) Seth was looking for an “obscure” Italian coupé and this (although it’s Ford Taunus based) is the car he has chosen. This car has been featured here some weeks ago. Seth is not a “garage collector” but a driver: he will drive this car accross eastern Europe with his family during… Read More Mission accomplished: The red OSI goes to NY
