Till few, very few years ago, stating that restoring a rust bucket like this 23 windows bus could have a good potential payoff should have seemed at least crazy. Unfortunately now it has sense, as restored buses like this usually fetch six digits prices. Even if the Samba model is the rarest of them all,… Read More Payoff potential: 1962 Volkswagen Bus Samba
The seller says that the mileage of this car is not guaranteed: chill out, we actually don’t need to know how many kilometers have been done with this car as it needs a total restoration. Unfortunately the photos are not good and made in very low resolution: sometimes we believe that some people must pay… Read More Mileage not guaranteed: 1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupé
This is the typical “stalled project”: a Porsche 356 to be transformed in “outlaw style” but, this time, using a flat-four Subaru WRX Turbo engine and transmission: that’s what we call “lateral thinking”. That’s a really strange idea: for sure it’s the first time we see such choice as the typical engine used in these… Read More Japanese flat-four: 1961 Porsche 356 “Outlaw”
The are good cars, there are project cars and there are challenges which could scare even the bravest man on the earth: this “car” is one of that. Actually this is a chassis/aluminium shell assembly (crafted by Rocco Motto) of a 1952 Siata 300 BC, a little barchetta built with the main purpose of being… Read More Only the braves: 1952 Siata 300 BC by Motto
This 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider (aka “boattail” or “Osso di Seppia”) is the former project of a restoration shop but the owner of the shop says that they have so much work to do with other clients’ cars and there is no time left for this car. The seller says that some work has been… Read More Waiting for the sun: 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider
This 1965 Porsche 911 belongs to the very rare bunch of Porsche type “901”: we would never have known these Porsches as “911” if Peugeot did not claim its copyrights on the three digits with a zero in the middle. So, what we have here is a very rare ’65 911 covered with a lot… Read More Miss you grandpa: 1965 Porsche 911
The Siata Spring was built from 1967 to 1970 by Siata which, in that period, was entering in its sunset boulevard. Actually this car was built after a proper market research which told Siata to build a tiny spider for young clients and, at last, Siata built around 3,000 units. Not bad for such particular… Read More It’s all there: 1969 Siata Spring
The seller must be a Lancia Appia nut, however he’s now oriented in parting with his two Appia Convertibile: a 1959 without title and a 1961 which is more complete than the other one. Actually, as the seller says, you can make only one car from these two as one lacks of too many parts,… Read More Two is better than one: 1959/61 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
Really, the paint job on this car really catches us. Although such paint job could seem a sacrilege, we must admit that it has been realized with a clear project in mind. It doesn’t seem improvised: a very good hand did such job, unfortunately we don’t know when. We could bet on a late ’70’s… Read More Acid paint job: 1961 Chevrolet Corvette “Fuelie”
The seller says that this car (VIN 80798) belongs to his wife’s family since more than fifty years ago. It’s clearly a project car but, as the car has been in the same family for all these years, it should be almost complete and probably rustless (almost). As a project car, interiors have been disassembled… Read More The wife’s car: 1955 Porsche 356 Speedster
