The name of this car designed at the European Ford factory probably won’t communicate much to American readers, but for European – and especially British – enthusiasts, the RS 1600 badge means a lot. In fact, this car was built from 1970 to 1974 in only 1139 specimens: so don’t be surprised not to see… Read More Cosworth power: 1973 Ford Escort RS 1600 MKI
A Fiat 1100B Cabriolet is a rare car even in Italy, let alone in the USA, especially if it has never been restored and still has its original black plate. If we were to imagine when this car ended up in California, we could think of the 70s when a large number of Italian cars… Read More From VI to L.A: 1949 Fiat 1100B Cabriolet
Look, a white Alfa Romeo repainted in red: that’s strange, isn’t it? Sarcasm aside, this has been the fate of most Italian classic cars over the decades. As is evident from the Italian newspaper clipping dated 1964, the reality is that in those years only 5% of the cars registered in Italy were red (a… Read More Red over white: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
We have seen many “strange” cars in recent years, but a Barchetta built on the mechanics of a Citroen 2CV was definitely missing from our list. Especially if it is a Barchetta built with a beautiful aluminum bodywork, most likely built in the USA and part of the SCCA category, driven at the end of… Read More Riverside veteran: 1957 Citroen Seidlitz Special
What makes us love a classic car? Is it its lines, the sound of the engine, its economic value or even the stories it carries with it? Very often, more times than we admit to ourselves, it is the latter that attracts us most of all. This Aston Martin DB4, parked in a barn for… Read More A life: 1962 Aston Martin DB4 by Touring
A 1957 Chevy Nomad is a rare bird, not to mention a completely original specimen that has survived the past 60 years. Obviously we report what the seller claims, namely to own and sell a Nomad “pure stock”, matching numbers and stored in the last 48 years. The car therefore looks extremely interesting, however there… Read More Pure stock: 1957 Chevrolet Nomad Belair
This Mustang looks like a car that has been for 50 under a turned on hair dryer, but that’s not necessarily a negative point. The seller says that he bought the car from its first owner who, according to the Marti Report, has a unique combination of colors and options: factory air conditioning (not working),… Read More Green over gold: 1967 Mustang 289 Fastback
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
Surely this car will have been amazed to see how the world has changed during the 38 years during which it has been locked in a Texas garage collecting dust. 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
All fans of classic cars like patina: if it develops on a black surface, it is even more fascinating. The surface we are talking about belongs to a Jaguar XK 140 model DHC: it is the more “civilized” spider version, less extreme than the OTS (the one with “low” doors, so to speak) but always… Read More Dark matter: 1955 Jaguar XK 140 DHC
