We are pretty sure that the Karmann Ghia, particularly the early series, has been rated by the market as the new Porsche 356.

The Asa 1000 is known by Italian cars nuts as “The Little Ferrari” and the reason is simple: the engine is basically one half of a 3000 cc. V12 Ferrari engine less a couple of cylinders. Indeed Ferrari, one of the best marketing men ever existed, accepted to provide ASA with this unit but he… Read More One third of Ferrari: 1965 Asa 1000 GT Coupé
That’s the first time we see a 1500 Ghia painted in this dark red shade: not sure if it’s the original color but it fits this body very well. It’s a project car for sale by one of our favorite seller; they’re specialized in Porsche but often they have also some italian gem like this… Read More Paint everywhere: 1965 Fiat 1500 GT Coupé by Ghia
First time ever we see pink Lancia: we believed so far that only Cadillac’s could benefit from such treatment.

It’s strange to see one of the 273 cars made with the “118B” specifications painted with two longitudinal white stripes “Cobra-like”, but the classic car market often sets aside these kind of surprises. But, apart from the paint job, the rest of the car looks quite unabused: the seller says that this is a one… Read More White stripes: 1964 Fiat 1600S OSCA Coupé
This car is speculated to be one of ten existing Coupé by Touring built with a right hand drive, so it’s very interesting for the Commonwealth collectors or Lancia enthusiasts.

There is no description in the ad… Read More Dusty sleeper: 1961 Lancia Flaminia 2500 Coupé by Pininfarina
It’s rare indeed to spot a Mercury coupé which still is the same car of 60 years ago when it left the Mercury factory. Indeed George Barris (probably the most famous customiser all over the world) changed the game when he first unvealed his chopped Mercury more than sixty years ago, the problem is that… Read More Please don’t chop: 1950 Mercury Coupé
Once again there is not any indication about the build year of this Flaminia Touring, so for us that year is 1965. It is a car which has been under restoration until someone couldn’t move forward, for health issues or some other blocking reason: the fact is that the car needs some more work to… Read More Pray for gray: 1965 Lancia Flaminia Coupé 3C by Touring
