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”
What we can’t understand is why many people are so stingy with words when it’s time to describe the car they are selling.Whatever, this car speaks enough for itself. It’s a Simca 1200S by Bertone, a car which is well know by many Classic Virus readers as we have posted many of these cars for… Read More No words: 1970 Simca 1200 S Coupé by Bertone
This Dino 2000 is said to be a car which needs to be restored: we agree with the seller but that’s a quite good starting point for the job. It has a typical color combo of the seventies: maroon with tobacco interiors (which look made in leather but it seems to good after 45 years,… Read More First see it: 1970 Fiat Dino Coupé 2000
These cars have had a strange destiny: they’re actually recognized as Porsche, but many have forgotten that these were sold as Volkswagens. However, even back then the two factories were relatives so calling these cars “Porsche” it’s not a sacrilege at all, especially when you stumble across a /6 model like this one (chassis# 9140431823),… Read More Sonoma white: 1970 VW-Porsche 914-6
It’s not usual at all to see a TC (also known as Typ 145) for sale, as these were quite rare cars because back then they were not a best seller at all. The TC was built by Karmann-Ghia do Brasil and it was born by the pencil of Giorgetto Giugiaro, in the last period before leaving Ghia… Read More The other aircooled: 1970 Karmann-Ghia TC
Seeing a Montreal for sale on eBay is not usual, but seeing the second Montreal built is an event. Indeed the seller says that this Montreal has the chassis #1425102 so it is the earliest Montreal in private hands as the number one is in the Alfa Romeo museum in Milano, Italy. And, even rare is… Read More #2: 1970 Alfa Romeo Montreal
One of the last birth in ISO factory was this two-door GT: something in the middle between a Coupé and a family car. Not the most beautiful car out of the Iso factory but still a rare piece of Italian craftsmanship. Moreover, if you talk with any mechanic who put his hands on an Iso,… Read More Luxury fastback: 1970 Iso Lele
