The best gift made to a Ford Taunus was for sure the body of this model, built by O.S.I. in Turin, Italy, but mainly sold in Germany where this car actually is for sale. We’ve published many of these, probably more than any other blog aroud, just because we are fascinated by the lines of… Read More Million dollar face/2: 1967 OSI 20M TS Coupé
It’s not easy to find one of these Ford Escort MKI with the LHD option ad they’re even scarcer in the U.S.A., where this car actually is. That’s because these Fords were built by the british subsidiary so they were sold mostly in UK and, in smaller numbers, in the rest of Europe. Very few… Read More Rallye specs: 1971 Ford Escort MKI
This kind of car is not the cup of tea of euro classic cars nuts, with the exception of the Northern Europe, but nowadays it’s really hard to find cars like this one. That’s because this is a real relic of the hot rod era as it is as original (we know that’s a bit… Read More Real thing: 1932 Ford B Roadster Drag Car
Once these were quite common cars in the U.S. but today, unfortunately, finding a correct ’67 4-speed manual Mustang Fastback is not that easy anymore. Of course we’re talking about driveable cars, then not wrecks, which have all their parts in the correct places like this one which features also a beautiful factory Candyapple Red… Read More Candy apple: 1967 Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback
Ok, we know that this Mustang was not made in the same year of the one driven by Frank Bullitt but, on the other side, it’s a fastback with a manual gearbox and a 390 engine. It’s also painted in red, which s not common on this model but we think that this color fits well… Read More Shifting gears/2: 1968 Ford Mustang GT390 Fastback
The Consul Capri built by Ford EU was the attempt of building a cheap but good looking coupé for the masses: unfortunately its low-powered engine and production cost didn’t contribute to its commercial success. Clearly the body has some typical early ’60s as it took some design elements from the Ford Thunderbird and the Ford Galaxie… Read More Labor of love: 1962 Ford Consul Capri
It’s very curious to find a GT 390 Fastback coming from Italy where, probably, just an handful of these cars are actually registered. That’s even more surprising as this is one of the most wanted Mustang: the 1967 GT 390 is an icon of the american cars production of the last century, mainly thanks to… Read More Italian stallion/2: 1967 Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback
What matters for a classic car nut is limited to a nice body, seats, wheels, engine, gearbox and few other things: that’s exactly what this car offer; no more than that. This car is indeed a Mark II by Falcon Shells: this factory was founded by a former firm of Ashley, Peter Pelladine, who left Ashley Laminates… Read More What matters: 1958 Falcon Shells Mark I
I always wondered how driving this car could be: a squat look, a light bod, a short wheel base, a steering wheel, a manual gearbox and a mighty Ford 289 c.i. under the lid, producing almost 300 hp and plenty of torque. For sure you have to be very skilled to exploit the power and… Read More Intimidator: 1965 TVR Griffith
The history of the american fiberglass cars is still quite obscure as many of these were produced in very few specimens and, nonetheless, the italian sports cars of the same era cast a huge shoadow on these creations. Steel and aluminium were much more expensive than fiberglass and they required skills and time to be… Read More Forgotten: 1955 Californian Sport Special
