Let’s face it: this is the 914 that everyone would have wanted (50 years ago), but of course there is a reason.

When it comes to classic pickups, our thoughts automatically goes to vehicles such as the Ford F100 or the Chevrolet 3100, symbols of post-war US motoring.

If you think about it all this is not strange: if only up to twenty years ago someone had told you that… Read More Country boy: 1971 Alfa Romeo F11
From Portugal comes this Abarth Scorpione which is a rare car in itself, plus this seems to be the S version, so produced in a few dozen units.

What we have here is a high concentration of felines, different in both color and state of maintenance and all of them, we guess, need work to get back on the road. There are three Pantera available: the most aggressive has the fenders borrowed from the Pantera who ran in Group 4, is said to… Read More Herd of felines: 1971/1972 De Tomaso Pantera
Before becoming a status symbol, Audi was an almost unknown manufacturer outside of Germany, with an extremely niche market in the rest of Europe. Also because his cars were not cheap: they were still a product made with high quality standards, however they lacked the image and, too often, the captivating aspect: the 100S model… Read More Before fame: 1971 Audi 100S Coupé
What the classic Porsche 911 and the Alfa GTV have in common, apart from the same era in which they were produced, is their predisposition to be “Hot Rodded”. In the case of German cars, many have ventured, RUF first and, more recently, Singer. As for the Alfa Romeo instead, Alfa enthusiasts know the Alfaholics… Read More Neck breaker: 1971 Alfa Romeo GTAM Tribute
