Fourty years ago there wasn’t a wide choice when you wanted a sports car but you had a little budget: factories like Francis Lombardi tried to fill this market gap. Of course we’re talking about the european maket which, generally, was afflicted by high taxes on big displacement car and by expensive gas prices, so… Read More Little hot wannabe: 1970 Francis Lombardi Grand Prix
This huge sedan was one of the few built in Bresso (near Milano, Italy), in order to fulfill a little market segment looking for an exotic four doors car different from a “common” Mercedes, Jaguar or Maserati. Unfortunately this car was very expensive and, at the same time, the competition in that segment was fierce… Read More All there: 1970 ISO Rivolta Fidia
The large high beams of this car, used for the nighttime special stages of the Montecarlo rally gave to this Fulvia HF the nickname “Fanalone” which, indeed, means “big headlight”. This particular car looks in very good conditions and also the seller confirms that as he says that the car has recently been revised completely with new… Read More Elephant inside: 1970 Lancia Fulvia Coupé HF “Fanalone”
These Volkswagen buses have always been the icon of a simple way of life, out of most of the comforts provided by the capitalist society: who built this bus had clearly a different idea in mind. Indeed this camper, which before to be what it is now, was a Kombi, has been completely rebuild in… Read More Professional camping: 1970 Volkswagen T2 Kombi
This 1970 Superbird is said to be a barn find and a great candidate for a restoration. You may like it or not but this rare vehicle is still an icon of the muscle car era. These were equipped with three different engines: a 440 V8 Super Commando with a single barrel of the “Six… Read More Black eyes: 1970 Plymouth Superbird
Spider not because it’s open, of course, but because the nose of this car always reminded us of the four eyes of the well known arachnid. This is not the first R8 Gordini we have spotted for sale in France where, of course, these cars were built by Renault which gave their engine to Henry Frétet and Amedeo Gordini, the… Read More Spider face: 1970 Renault R8 Gordini
In the past we have already published a couple of ads about this rare car: they were about cars in original conditions (or slightly restored); we didn’t expect at all to see one of these converted in a race car. Of course it doesn’t seem an extreme racecar: it had some modifications like the lexan… Read More Oddball racer: 1970 LMX Sirex
We don’t know where does this car come from, as these cars weren’t imported to the U.S.A., but what’s clear is that this car has been sleeping form many, many years. What we don’t understand is its build year: the first Montreals given to the press are from March 1971 so we can’t understand how this can be… Read More Grey to the bone: 1970 Alfa Romeo Montreal
Once again here it is a seller who doesn’t tell about the build year of the car he’s selling: the Grand Prix was built from 1968 to 1972 so let’s assume this is a 1970 car. A nearly fifty years old car which needs a lot of cares: this car has been parked for many… Read More Save me: 1970 Francis Lombardi Grand Prix
The new year on Classic Virus starts with a seller submission: it’s a Mercedes-Benz 600 W100 series a.k.a. “Grosser”, which was also the favorite car of most dictators of that period. The seller is also a dealer and he says that he purchased the car little more than three weeks ago from the second owner in… Read More Seller submission: 1970 Mercedes-Benz 600 “Grosser”
