GT Juniors to be restored are increasingly rare. And when they are found, they now have prices that until ten years ago they asked for a car in almost perfect condition. We could say, to paraphrase Humphrey Bogart, That’s the market, baby. The market! And there’s nothing you can do about it. Nothing! So when… Read More Big heart: 1967 Alfa Romeo GT Junior
This rare GTA Junior is one of the very few, if not the only ones left, that has belonged to the same owner for almost fifty years. In practice, even before I was born, the seller of this car was already driving it through the winding streets of north east Italy: not bad. So if… Read More 48 years ownership: 1969 Alfa Romeo GTA Junior
Jim Kellison was one of the pioneers in the world of kit car construction and his cars have recently achieved respectable prices. We have been publishing these cars for years, ever since people were uncertain whether to buy a fully functional and in good condition at the price of $ 12,000: remember that everyone is good… Read More Never assembled: 1965 Kellison Astra X-300 GT
It is the first time ever that we see this car, probably for two reasons: it is rare and, perhaps, it is not among the most beautiful cars in the history of motoring. There are so few around if you are looking for this model, many of the photos that appear are the same as… Read More Mini Barracuda: 1969 Sunbeam Alpine Fastback
There is still the possibility of finding some Junior Zagato to be restored: we no longer believed it possible but it is so. In this specific case we do not know if we are dealing with a 1300 or a 1600: the seller does not specify it and we are unable to grasp sufficient clues… Read More Chassis #133: 1967 Alfa Romeo GT by Zagato
Probably few car manufacturers have lived as little as the ASA but are equally well known, and in our opinion there is a very specific reason. The reason lies in the same idea that moved the founder: a car that summarized the needs and aspirations of the Italian motorist of the early 60s: on the… Read More All or nothing at all: 1964 ASA 1000 GT
Do you remember when a few years ago we published a similar dark green car, in identical conditions, and it was on sale for months at almost a quarter of the price of this? Those good times, right? Good times indeed, and yet even then we wondered why an Italian GT of the 60s, rare… Read More The white one: 1965 Ghia 1500 GT Coupé
Where did Alfa Romeo go? Where did its ability to make fans dream and to generate respect in the competition opponents? These are obvious questions of which we know the answer well. The answer is complex and simple at the same time: companies are made of people, and when the right people disappear… Read More Two times four: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA
Classic Virus readers will have understood for some time that we like this model, and we like it even more if it is one of those few equipped by the factory with a six-cylinder engine. If then, in addition to being a six-cylinder, the car is configured as “GT”, that is, with the fenders widened,… Read More Adriatic six: 1970 Volkswagen-Porsche 914-6 “GT”
Although it may seem strange, this is not an aesthetically modified 924 with an aftermarket kit, but a rare vehicle. In fact, only 406 specimens of this model have been built, probably most of which still exist, however we are talking about very small numbers in relation to the current production of sports cars. This… Read More 1 of 406: 1981 Porsche 924 Carrera GT
