As the ad states, it’s rare to come across a 1956 356A in restorable condition, but it’s also true that this car requires a lot of work—a lot of work means a very high budget. We know this well because we recently restored a 1965 Alfa Romeo in similar condition, thinking it would still be… Read More Do your math: 1956 Porsche 356A Coupé
And here is a GT Veloce, the most sought-after model of the Giulia GT series (after the GTA, of course) in Biancospino color. But contrary to its name, this car is anything but fast. In fact, we would say that this car doesn’t run at all, as it is photographed on a tow truck. It… Read More Static quadrifoglio: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
Let’s continue with Alfa Romeos in need of restoration, this time with a spider, specifically a 1965 Giulia, which is the last series of its kind, featuring the three-spoke steering wheel and SS instruments, although it still lacks front disc brakes. From the photos posted in the ad, it is clear that the car was… Read More Black and white: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
This Fulvia Sport built by Zagato is part of a batch of cars constructed entirely in aluminum in 1967. Subsequently, due to the construction costs, Zagato began building them in steel. The alloy used was called “Peralluman” (the same used for the body of the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, although the latter was made by… Read More Blue aluminium: 1967 Lancia Fulvia Sport by Zagato
It’s damaged, incomplete, and has no title. But, gentlemen, it is still a GT Veloce (chassis #AR246417), and this is a crucial detail in the overall evaluation. The significant dent on the front right side of the car is very noticeable, and perhaps this same damage is why someone abandoned it. The car likely also… Read More Once was red: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
This rare 1200 TV Trasformabile (Trasformabile in Italian means that it can be transformed from closed to open, a term used until the late 50s when it was replaced by “Spider”) has been in California for a long time, as evidenced by its black license plate with yellow letters and numbers. However, we do not… Read More From Italy to Cali: 1959 Fiat 1200 TV Trasformabile
This Giulietta Spider presents a balanced mix of both negative and positive aspects. The negative aspects are clearly related to the need for a complete restoration, as nothing appears to be usable in its current state. Another downside is that this is a long-wheelbase version, which places it at the bottom of the valuation rankings… Read More LWB project: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Are you a vintage car enthusiast with a penchant for classic race cars? Here it is a 1957 Porsche Speedster (chassis #83493), ex-EP race car, that has been off the radar since the early 70s. With matching hood, doors, deck, seats and the original silver color, this Speedster is the ultimate barn find. Equipped with… Read More Off radar: 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster
And here is one of the many puzzles we enjoy, namely a car of uncertain origin and practically unrecognizable from the photos. Clearly, it is a 1972 911, specifically an E series (also known as Oelkappe, with the oil tank filler cap on the outside, precisely on the right rear fender, later removed due to… Read More Question mark: 1972 Porsche 911 Targa
Sometimes, it’s not necessary to have a six-figure budget to get your hands on a Porsche 356; you just need to look around carefully. This particular car was originally finished in the rare and sought-after Dolphin Grey (code #6410). Dolphin Grey was a factory color available for only two years in Porsche’s storied history. This… Read More Black dolphin: 1964 Porsche 356 C Coupé
