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”
This beautiful Giulia Super has certainly been carefully restored by its former owner who has brought it around to be admired: unfortunately, on one of these tours someone has seen fit to ram it. Obviously what has been said is only what we assume has happened: an alternative is that, during a “happy” driving session,… Read More Rammed: 1970 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super
It seems that this is the appearance of a GT Junior built by Zagato that has been standing still in a garage since 1997: in addition to the unmistakable shape it is also painted in the ivory color typical of the late 60s, and widely used by Zagato also on the Fulvia Sport. , and… Read More Ivory project: 1970 Alfa Romeo GT Junior by Zagato
The period from the mid-60s to the mid-70s was perhaps the most glorious period for Alfa Romeo, both in terms of sales and sports victories. It is in fact in this decade that Alfa Romeo becomes closer to the “people”: we must never forget that the cars produced by Alfa were certainly not within everyone’s… Read More Green outside: 1970 Alfa Romeo 1750 Berlina
It is probably the first time that we have published a Fiat 130 for sale, mainly for two reasons: it is not the classic car that everyone dreams of and there are very few around. Let’s start saying that this was perhaps the last “big” Fiat, produced at a time when the Turin factory was… Read More Labor of love: 1970 Fiat 130
The strangest thing about German car production from the 1960s and 1970s is the contrast between the cars’ sober lines and the flashy colors available for them. Obviously, Porsche and BMW were first in this area: BMW in particular made available almost “racing” colors for its family sedans: the car presented here, a rare 2002… Read More Verona red: 1970 BMW 2002 Ti
One of the most iconic Italian bodies of the 70s, built by Francis Lombardi, contains not an 850 CC but a 1300 cc engine. We are therefore talking about an Abarth 1300 Scorpione which, however, in this specific specimen (in excellent condition) has a flaw, if we talk about originality: the engine is not original.… Read More Bigger than usual: 1970 Abarth 1300 Scorpione
Classic Virus readers will have understood for some time that we like this model, and we like it even more if it is one of those few equipped by the factory with a six-cylinder engine. If then, in addition to being a six-cylinder, the car is configured as “GT”, that is, with the fenders widened,… Read More Adriatic six: 1970 Volkswagen-Porsche 914-6 “GT”
Do you think the 914 is more a Volkswagen than a Porsche? Actually it is exactly the opposite, both in the four and six cylinder versions. In the four-cylinder one because, until 1964, the cars produced by the Stuttgart factory (and before that in the Gmund factory) were all four-cylinder boxers, in the six-cylinder one… Read More Six are better: 1970 Volkswagen – Porsche 914-6
