We don’t know what kind of experiment the person who repainted this Appia Convertibile many years ago had in mind, but one thing is certain: they would have done better to leave its original color, Azzurro Vincennes, a classic shade of the era, particularly favored by Lancia and Maserati. This yellow (or what’s left of… Read More Blue under the skin: 1961 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
This 912 looks like it just came out of a time tunnel that brought it straight from the early 1980s to us — we wouldn’t have been surprised to see it on the set of Stranger Things. The seller says it was modified — indeed — in the 1980s, but since then the engine has… Read More Rodded and modded: 1966 Porsche 912 “RSR”
This 1967 chassis—verified by a Lotus Certificate of Provenance—retains its original numbers-matching engine, which still turns over, and the coveted 3.55-geared rear end that transforms highway cruising into a spirited affair. Few of these Special Equipment models were produced, and an international registry counts fewer than fifty survivors worldwide, with under twenty retaining the distinctive… Read More Stripped but sound: 1967 Lotus Elan SE
We’re not Lancia experts to the point of being able to state definitively whether this is a B50, B51, or B52, so we’ve made an assumption based on the year provided by the seller. The seller—well known to many of you—Joop Stolze, is currently liquidating his entire collection (though we’re quite sure he’ll be keeping… Read More Chalk white: 1953 Lancia Aurelia B52 Cabriolet
It’s fascinating how, after all these years, cars like this one are still being found parked for 30 or 40 years in a garage or storage facility, covered by a layer of dust so thick it actually protected the bodywork. That’s the case with this Alfa Romeo 1900 Berlina, a high-end vehicle once chosen by… Read More White dust: 1954 Alfa Romeo 1900 Berlina
Anyone looking to have some fun with this car is more than welcome—especially since, in this case, the fun could last a long time given the car’s condition. We’re also unsure whether it’s truly worth restoring or if it’s better used as a source of many rare and valuable spare parts, which are increasingly hard… Read More Full size puzzle: 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
Painting chrome parts black was an old (and rough) trick to cover up rust spots that had started to compromise the chrome. It was a cheap fix for cheap cars (at the time). But this is no ordinary car: it’s one of about 450 Mistrals equipped with the ultimate version of Maserati’s legendary inline six-cylinder… Read More No chrome: 1967 Maserati Mistral 4.0 by Frua
According to the seller, this highly original car shows just 42,893 miles on the odometer and retains its matching numbers 3.8L dual overhead cam engine. It remains unrestored and has been acquired from its previous owner of 58 years. Built on December 16, 1963, this Jaguar was initially dispatched to New York on January 24,… Read More Rear condensers: 1964 Jaguar E-Type FHC
The 1964 Honda S600 represents a pivotal moment in Honda’s history, being one of the company’s first production sports cars. Following the success of the limited-production S500, Honda introduced the S600 as its first truly mass-marketed automobile. Available as both a roadster and a coupe, it retained the high-revving, motorcycle-inspired 606cc DOHC inline-four engine, producing… Read More Chain driven: 1964 Honda S600 Roadster
The 1968 L88 Corvette was designed for racing and is one of the most desirable Corvettes ever built. The factory L88 package included a high-compression 427 V8, officially rated at 430 horsepower but widely known to produce closer to 550 hp. It was equipped with heavy-duty brakes, upgraded suspension, and a Muncie M22 Rock Crusher… Read More Ultra rare: 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Convertible
