That’s not a news seeing a project car without the lights, both on the front and the rear end: it looks like that headlights and taillights are the most cannibalized part of any car abandoned to its destiny. This Appia Coupé by Pininfarina has had such destiny but, apart from the missing lights which are… Read More Blind project: 1958 Lancia Appia Coupé by Pininfarina
This hand-built car has been, almost 60 years ago, the absolute peak of the american automotive production: it featured a lot of gadgets and it was more expensive than its contemporary competitor, the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. Its price tag was $13,000 (back in 1958 the average yearly wage in the U.S. was $4,600) It… Read More Space age ship: 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham
“Building find” are the words used by the seller to describe this car, a rare LHD Aston Martin DBS which had for sure a restoration beginning but no much more than that. Indeed the body has been brought to bare matal in order to do a deep restoration job, but clearly something went wrong and then… Read More Best offer gets it: 1969 Aston Martin DBS
Yes, one of Bertone’s masterpieces was built by Touring, and that’s easy to understand why. Building a spider is not only about chopping a roof but mostly about making the chassis stronger, especially on cars built fifty years ago, an age when the weren’t computer simulation to calculate forces and torsions rates. So around 1,000 bodies… Read More A restaurer: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTC by Touring
The seller says that this 250 GTE is for sale for the first time since it was delivered new in the USA to Otto Zipper Motors in Hollywood. Indeed it’s one of the few Ferrari of that period to have a mile-scaled speedometer so that’s coherent with what the seller says. The car has been… Read More First time for sale: 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE
That’s not a news that Hollywood celebrities, with scarce exceptions, often used to reward themselves with an european supercar when they arrived at the top of their popularity: Ava Gardner was one of those. Indeed she chose this HK500 (chassis HK-Z1) in the late fifties. The auctioneer says that this car was delivered new to her,… Read More Ava’s black one: 1959 Facel Vega HK 500
O.T.S. is the original name given by the factory to these cars to indicate an Open Two Seater car. This XK120 has been carried out from somewhere (an enclosed space we suppose) where it was sleeping since many years. Watching those strange wheels with those giant tires we suppose that the last time that this… Read More Balloon shoes: 1954 Jaguar XK120 O.T.S.
It’s rare to find a DB2/4 with the steering wheel on the left side, and this car is one of the few to boast this feature. Indeed most of the Aston of the mid fifties were produced with a right hand drive, not much were made with the LHD as they costed, back then, as… Read More Steering wheel ok: 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4
Actually this 1750 GTV is something about a barn find and a good, usable car: for sure it’s not a proper “Find” as the seller stores it in his garage. Probably the car is stored and it has not been much used in the last years; interiors looks quite good even if they’re used as a… Read More Something in the middle: 1969 Alfa Romeo GT 1750 Veloce
This car, if what the seller says is true, is one of the top barn find ever. Not much for the marque and model, but because this car is said to have just 6,700 miles from new. Indeed the seller says that he put new tires, new brakes, new fuel system and a new battery, but… Read More 6,700 miles from new: 1953 MG TD
