Ok, we agree that maybe “completed” is an understatement, however, technically, the car is there. From what we understand, it is a Fiberfab Aztec built on a platform – for a change – Volkswagen Type 1 (better known as Beetle). This was probably once a running car, since the wheels, headlights and drivetrain are already… Read More To be completed: 1970 Fiberab Aztec
In last week’s article on the Fiat 500 Albarella we mentioned the connection between the concept of yacht and car which led to the creation of that particular line of cars generically called “Spiaggina” (beach car). In this case this connection is even closer. In fact, this car is called the “Shellette” from the name… Read More Longboard not included: 1970 Fiat 850 Shellette
This Giulia is one of the extremely rare station wagon versions, never produced for the general public but rather as vehicles generally used by law enforcement or for Italian highway services and very few other purposes. In fact, there were only four coachbuilders in Italy to whom this car was commissioned: Colli, Giorgetti, Introzzi, and… Read More Rare patrol: 1970 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Giardinetta by Grazia
454 c.i, convertible, 4 speed, one owner, 13,326 original miles: it is an excellent business card for a car that has become an icon. To the details it should be added that this car is a full-blown “barn find”: the photos published show the car, probably at the time of its discovery, covered by decades… Read More Aged wine: 1970 Chevrolet Corvette 454 Convertible
The seller of this car basically says that the car is flawless and therefore for a potential buyer there is nothing left to do but count the money before coming to pick it up. It is certainly true that the 1300 Scorpio around are few and it is not at all easy to find one… Read More Count the money: 1970 Abarth 1300 Scorpione by Francis Lombardi
The idea of a powerful and simultaneously comfortable sedan for at least four people is not new, as we can well see. Today, for those interested in this formula, there is a very wide choice limited only by the spending possibilities, while 50 years ago even being rich, the choices available were very limited. We… Read More Fast in four: 1970 Ford Taunus 20M RS
The title teases the soundtrack of Rocky III a little (a film that I really liked when I saw it at the cinema as a child), but it also concerns the number of headlights of this rare 1000 OT. In fact, there are few cars like this one, both because few have been sold since… Read More Eyes of the spider: 1970 Abarth 1000 OT
And here is another variation performed on the platform of the much better known Fiat 850: this time too it is a work vehicle. We have seen so far many variants created on the 850 platform, but it is the first time that we see this version which, in the case of American pickups, is… Read More Flatbed: 1970 Fiat 850T Cassonato by Coriasco
Generally speaking, the typical characteristics of a car that is defined as a “barn find” are those of a car that has not been used for many years, with a substantially sound body and complete with all its parts. Anything that does not satisfy these conditions is simply scrap. In this specific case, the car… Read More Swedish red: 1970 Volvo 1800E
Every now and then we happen to publish classic cars with a price that is not really – let’s say – “popular”, but in order to tell an era the price takes a back seat: after all, admiring it costs nothing. We are sure that many know the Iso Grifo, one of the most beautiful… Read More Queen of the meadow: 1970 Iso Grifo S “Targa”
