Due to a diminished eyesight, the owner of this barn is forced to clear all the stuff inside among which there are a Lancia Flavia Coupé 1.5, a Beta Zagato plus a couple of Fiats: a 1200 Cabriolet and a 600 Cabriolet. The seller did not go very far in describing his projects: he says… Read More Barn clearance: Fiat and Lancia projects
It’s very rare, at this point, to find a 356 Cabrio to restore (yep, 356: the “pre-a” nickname have never been used by Porsche), and finding a very early ’52 car it’s like to win a (little) lottery. Also because, even though this car (chassis #15005) clearly needs a huge amount of work, it is basically… Read More COD 420: 1952 Porsche 356 Cabrio
There is a very active bidding for this survivor 356 C Cabrio (chassis #161129) which actually should be a full matching number car, well preserved during the last 50 years. Full matching numbers car not because so says the Kardex but because the car has a full pack of documentation since it was new, among… Read More No shenanigans: 1965 Porsche 356 C Cabrio
The smiling face is, of course, the nose of this 1500S without headlights, front grill and bumper. And that’s because the car is in the early stage of a deep restoration. What is clear is that the restoration of this car wasn’t carried out by professionals but, probably, by the owner itself who tried to… Read More That smiling face/2: 1962 Fiat 1500S OSCA Cabriolet
It has been a long time since we published a 356 to restore, and the main reason is that these project are becoming rarer and rarer as almost all the barn finds have been trailed out of their barns. However, as this car demonstrates, there is still something out there. This car is a model year 1954 356… Read More Rescue me: 1954 Porsche 356 Cabrio
This is one of those cases where the pictures do not fully correspond to the truth. Indeed under that odd “skin” is hidden the chassis and mechanicals of a 1952 Porsche 356 (once coupé, VIN #11471): to make a long story short, the car was bought new and brought to a race where it had… Read More A bad day, a new life: 1952 Porsche 356 Coupè
Nope, we definitely can’t ever imagine that a relict in this conditions could ever be put for sale as a car, but this is it. This car was born as a Porsche 356 T5 Cabrio, and we must admit that, 55 years ago, it came out of the factory with a very nice paint, which… Read More C.S.I. required: 1960 Porsche 356B T5 cabrio
The strange think about these cars is that we’ve often seen them for sale paired: we can’t understand why; it’s like they absolutely need a companion. This couple is made by two cars in very different conditions: in our opinion one car can be saved while the other one will not have an happy ending: of… Read More Bet on red: Two 1959 BMW Isetta
In the classic car world there’s no any bigger cliché than a Porsche 356 carried out of a garage, even better if covered with patina. About this car, we are on the edge between “patina” and “wreck”, but at last we are more oriented towards the first term. The seller says that this car has… Read More The european job: 1956 Porsche 356A Cabrio
This car could be the italian equivalent to the ’50-’51 Ford Custom Convertible, also known as “shoebox”. This car was built by Fiat Carrozzerie Speciali, a Fiat division which was involved in building bodies for limited production cars like this one like, later, the 1100 TV Trasformabile. No many of these cars have been built… Read More Italian Shoebox: 1951 Fiat 1400 Convertibile
