It is an Italian with an American heart, and perhaps this is why it was very successful in the USA, much more than other supercars produced in the same period. After all, having an engine full of torque, power and cheap to run like the Ford 351 was not a bad advantage, especially when compared… Read More Bare metal: 1972 De Tomaso Pantera L
The Citroen SM has always been little considered in the world of classic cars, perhaps for the fact that it was a Citroen in itself, perhaps for the fear of facing the maintenance or restoration of a “complex” car, perhaps for both reasons. Yet when this car was unveiled in Geneva in March 1970, the… Read More Code S: 1972 Citroen SM
It’s been 49 years since Rick McCloskey (aka RickMack), fresh out of photography school at San Fernando Valley State College in Northridge, spent every Wednesday night throughout the summer of 1972 photographing a generation of boys and girls in first half of their twenties, cruising and meeting with their cars – stock, partially modified or… Read More The vanished world
It has a beautiful color and looks very, very well preserved: this is the brief identikit of this rare Audi.

Unlike the surrounding world, however, she hasn’t changed much: a nice layer of dust still covers her but underneath there is still a healthy car,… Read More Lost in time: 1972 Dino 246 GT
As with all rules, exceptions are occasionally found, and this also applies to classic cars: in this case it was the turn of a GT Junior Zagato. The exception, in this case, concerns the appearance of the car characterized by widened fenders and, consequently, by wheels and tires large enough to fill the new spaces… Read More Wide hips: 1972 Alfa Romeo GT Junior by Zagato
It is certainly one of the most beautiful Maserati ever made, yet it is one of the most forgotten: perhaps because it was not lived in a good period. His life in fact overlapped with the worst oil crisis ever happened, and that crisis claimed several victims, this does not mean that this was probably… Read More Stainless blue: 1972 Maserati Bora 4.7
The last big coupe produced by Fiat was also the last attempt by the Turin factory to remain in the world of luxury cars: after the 130, Fiat was content to produce – at most – middle-sized sedans. Of course, a coupe with a V6, 3.2 litre engine was not the best choice in the… Read More Pristine burgundy: 1972 Fiat 130 Coupé
Many of the De Tomaso Pantera that you find for sale are the base model which in the USA was called “L”, then there is also the GTS model like this one, much rarer and much more expensive than the first. But the GTS was not one for all markets: that for the American market… Read More Euro specs: 1972 De Tomaso Pantera GTS
