We’ve seen a lot of things in the classic cars world but, as often happens, we still missed something. In this case that’s about this unique Crosley “truck” built for Pinto Air Freight. The best part of the story is that, many years later, the son of Pinto Air Freight founder, Frank, found it in… Read More A family affair: 1950 Crosley 18 wheeler
There’s a long story behind this custom 1954 Ford called “Parisienne” and the people behind this build are well known in the american custom builder panorama.

“I’m a different person, yeah, turn my world around…” (Lola’s Theme, The Shapeshifters) This Giulia SS has changed a lot outside. We don’t know by the hand of who and when, fact is that the body has been completely rebuilt taking inspiration, clearly, from the TZ and some element from the Superflow, especially for the… Read More Mutation/3: 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
We actually didn’t know what title we could give to this article as this car is a mistery, with the exception of the chassis which is said to belong to a Fiat 500C a.k.a. “Topolino”. Indeed the seller has no info about who built it back in the fifties but, who did it, knew how… Read More Mistery mouse: 1957 Fiat 500C Custom
This is what happens when someone wants to improve what basically cannot be improved, as it’s perfect just as is. What we have here is a Giulia with a new face. The seller says that this is a ’66 Giulia (chassis #AR392415) but we don’t have any info about Giulia Spider built after the ’65,… Read More The strange one: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
We had to do it. This is not the typical car we publish here but, as long as this ad will for sure enter in the “eBay Best Of”, we too wanted to be there. This custom was born as a Jaguar E-Type 2+2 but then something happened: “Hi to all, my name is peter… Read More Best of: 1968 Jaguar E-Type 2+2 “Custom”
Unfortunately we’ve spotted this car in the late stage of the auction, but it is however worth a brief article: you don’t see cars like this very often. It’s of course a Mini from 1978 which has been customized, shortening the chassis and removing the doors and painting it with a metalflake Kawasaki green shade. The seller says that… Read More Banana Split’s car: 1978 Mini Custom
It’s not a sacrilege to affirm that people like George Barris, Ed Roth, Darryl Starbird, Dean Jeffries and few other have been for the U.S. car culture what Pininfarina, Bertone, Boano etc. have been for Europe. Of course back in the early fifties U.S.A. and Europe were two different worlds with different needs so the… Read More Tubs’ car: 1951 Lincoln Lido Coupé by Barris
These Volkswagen buses have always been the icon of a simple way of life, out of most of the comforts provided by the capitalist society: who built this bus had clearly a different idea in mind. Indeed this camper, which before to be what it is now, was a Kombi, has been completely rebuild in… Read More Professional camping: 1970 Volkswagen T2 Kombi
This special T5 from 1963 clearly reminds the creations of Rod Emory but actually it was built by Cox Motorsports. It features a lot of tricks and solutions which are of course disgusting for the purists, but actually we believe that, especially on car built in large numbers, experimets like this one find a special place, especially… Read More Powered rear end: 1963 Porsche 356B T6 Coupé
