Swedish red: 1970 Volvo 1800E

Generally speaking, the typical characteristics of a car that is defined as a “barn find” are those of a car that has not been used for many years, with a substantially sound body and complete with all its parts. Anything that does not satisfy these conditions is simply scrap. In this specific case, the car… Read More Swedish red: 1970 Volvo 1800E

Interceptor: 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500

Interceptor is the name given in the 1960s to the engines installed on police cars for pursuit: the most famous is the 428 cubic inch one first installed by Bob Tasca Sr. on the second series Mustang. Shelby also did not miss the opportunity to use this engine for “his” Mustangs: initially it was thought… Read More Interceptor: 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500

Rotten but not forgotten: 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider

The worst choice you can make for a classic car is to try to restore it in your garage: we have seen so many undergo this choice, and in very few cases it has gone well. This rare B24 Spider (chassis # B24S 1154) is not one of those successful cases: as almost always happens,… Read More Rotten but not forgotten: 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider

White sleeper: 1963 Mercedes 230 SL

We have driven a Mercedes Benz w113 class and we must admit that, if the car is in order, it is an experience much closer to that of driving a modern car than you could ever imagine. This happens for a substantial reason: these cars are built really well, with great attention to detail and… Read More White sleeper: 1963 Mercedes 230 SL

Desert slate: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint by Bertone

It is not an everyday thing to find a 2600 sprint in the USA: unlike its convertible sister, in fact, it did not have the desired success overseas. It is even more difficult to find one in conditions like this: a car that needs a restoration that also involves the bodywork (fans of classic Alfa… Read More Desert slate: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint by Bertone

Uncut: 1975 Ford Bronco

For sure this first generation Bronco is uncut, however this is the only positive note about its body which is rusted in several areas. Apart from the bodywork work which, as we all know, alone constitutes at least 50% of the cost of a complete restoration, there are still some positive notes: first of all… Read More Uncut: 1975 Ford Bronco

Out of the barn: 1948 Alfa Romeo 6C2500 S Cabriolet by Pininfarina

And here, the same seller who owns the Lancia Artena published a few days ago, sells this rare Alfa Romeo, even more rare as it never seems to have been restored. We have not seen many 6C 2500s built by Pininfarina in similar conditions: the last was perhaps a blue specimen, on sale in Italy… Read More Out of the barn: 1948 Alfa Romeo 6C2500 S Cabriolet by Pininfarina

Exposed bones: 1934 Lancia Artena Series III 228C

There are many books on every Lancia model built before the war, and the reason is simple: it is difficult to find even just two cars that are identical in every detail. This happened basically for two reasons: the first is related to the fact that these were cars built mainly to order by wealthy… Read More Exposed bones: 1934 Lancia Artena Series III 228C

Southern project: 1960 Triumph TR3 A

We all know that you can’t have your cake and eat it, so if your craving is for an inexpensive classic spider, there’s work to be done to get there. In this specific case, there is a lot of work to be done: first of all you have to fill in a very long checklist… Read More Southern project: 1960 Triumph TR3 A

Six seater: 1960 Fiat 600 Multipla

It no longer has the number plates, it has an incomplete engine and it is certainly not in concours d’état conditions, on the other hand it has six seats. The Multipla was one of the cars that marked an era for its innovative concept: transporting the highest possible number of people in the smallest possible… Read More Six seater: 1960 Fiat 600 Multipla
