The LX Torana arrived in 1976 with a new hatchback body that quickly became one of the most recognizable Australian performance-car shapes of the decade. In SS form, the hatch could be ordered with Holden’s L31 5.0-litre V8, creating the specification that would soon provide the basis for the competition-oriented A9X. This car is the… Read More Australian Mustang: 1976 Holden Torana LX L31 SS Hatchback
The Abarth 1300 SS Scorpione is a rare and remarkable example of Abarth’s engineering prowess. Introduced in 1970, this model was among the last cars independently developed by Abarth before the brand was acquired by Fiat. The Scorpione features a modified Fiat 124 engine, enlarged to 1280cc, delivering around 100 horsepower, which, combined with its… Read More Yellow scorpion: 1969 Abarth Scorpione SS
As soon as we saw this ad we stopped looking elsewhere, it was enough for us to see the profile of this wonderful coupé. It is a 6C 2500 SS built in 1938, i.e. the decade before the Second World War in which Alfa Romeo, especially in collaboration with the nearby Touring body shop, churned… Read More Unmolested beauty: 1938 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport by Touring
Strange to say but after ten years of mining everything that was even barely restorable, something still pops up and attracts a lot of the attention of the miners. This is the turn of a Giulietta SS – one of the blue chips in the classic car market – on which the 50% of the… Read More Grey shark: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale
We could say that this is a small Alfa with a big heart, and the reason is easily understood. This car is in fact a Giulietta, and for connoisseurs of the brand this means only one thing: the engine has a displacement of 1290 cc; in fact, the version with the 1570 cc engine called… Read More Mixed feelings: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale
And here is another Scorpione with a bodywork designed by Francis-Lombardi and, once again, it is a SS. We are in fact amazed because the SS version is very rare, and when we write “a lot” it means – if our sources are not wrong – less than ten copies, which makes the SS a… Read More Merzario signature: 1970 Abarth 1300 Scorpione SS
It is rare to see changes to the bodywork of a Giulia or Giulietta SS, but when we come across a modified specimen, it is obligatory for us to publish it. The changes we are talking about – and this is the remarkable thing about this case – seem to be made by someone who… Read More Mutation/5: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale
This is one of the very latest 6C 2500 ever produced and it has not been set up by a coachbuilder like Touring but by the Alfa Romeo body shop. Probably this is one of the last chassis produced and left unsold, and the buyer of the time has had the car set up according… Read More Italian patina: 1952 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Coupé
This is one of the few Giulietta Sprint Speciale that is still in “restore” condition, which is a great thing. Unfortunately, as often happens, the most interesting cars for sale have a short description and, in this case, only one picture. Actually, we don’t even know the production year of this car. The seller in… Read More Rolling SS: Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale
We have often seen many Maserati Ghibli and Bora with wheels different from the original ones, just like this car: Sure they are Maserati wheels but they look like the ones installed on the Indy. These wheels don’t look bad at all but still these shouldn’t be correct, of course unless some expert will tell… Read More Indy wheels: 1970 Maserati Ghibli SS
