Early Porsche yesterday, early Porsche today. This is the time of one of the first 912 made which, in this configuration, were also known as “painted dash” because, as the nickname says, the dashboard was not black but painted with the same color of the body. It seems a minor feature but, in the collector… Read More Burbank find: 1966 Porsche 912 “Painted dash”
This is a first series Lancia Fulvia Coupé and that’s quite rare in the U.S. It was also known as “Leva lunga” (italian for “Long shift lever). So far so good, but then rust comes into play. The odd (but good) thing is that the seller has several spare parts, including some original metal sheets… Read More Once was white: 1967 Lancia Fulvia Coupé
This very early Giulia Sprint GT is said to have been stored more than 40 years ago and never used since. It has been beaten by the years but it has still maintained its shape. The first thing we see is that, sometime in the past, someone attempted to give the car a more modern… Read More Long Beach relic: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT
This Maserati Mistral Coupé was built during the last production year of this model and so, it is equipped with the largest displacement six-inline engine, fed by a Lucas MFI.

This Giulietta SS is being sold as you see it: basically that’s a bare shell with wheels and nothing more than that. What’s actually interesting is that this car is said to be the 12th car ever produced (chassis #AR10120*0012) The seller says that this car has been imported from Venezuela and that’s not a… Read More Number 12: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale
This barn find E-Type is a bit different from many others being sold on the market in the same conditions: other than being one of the “flat floor” series cars, this is a very early car with the bonnet louvers welded (instead of being part of the bonnet itself). We all know that some details… Read More Welded louvers: 1961 Jaguar E-Type O.T.S.
Someone would say that this is the right car in the right place: every Alfa Romeo enthusiast knows the film “The Graduate” where a young Dustin Hoffman used to drive a car like this, painted with the same color, received as bachelor gift by his parents. This one, given its conditions, can’t ever be used… Read More Spider inside: 1966 Alfa Romeo Duetto 1600
This 3rd series Lancia Appia Berlina slept for many years in a east coast garage before being recently unhearted: it has just been cleaned but nothing more than that. The seller says that, prior to 1970, the car belinged to a couple of guys living in Texas, then, in 1980, the car was sold to… Read More East coast patina: 1961 Lancia Appia Berlina
This 3500 GT has been recently unearthed and, differently from most cars of its family, it seems in stunning conditions given the fact that it was parked in 1978. Then, other than being parked since fourty years ago, this car had one owner only since 1967, so when it was almost new. It is painted… Read More Unearthed: 1962 Maserati 3500 GT by Touring
The seller of this rare Porsche 914-6 says that the asking price for this car is, for him, the “magic number” and, even though it’s debatable, he won’t accept much less or any trades. The car itself seems indeed a barn find, unfortunately the photos provided are few and, even more unfortunately, in low resolution.… Read More The magic number: 1970 Porsche 914-6
