There is little doubt: German cars fared strong in the USA in the 1960s while being far less powerful than an American car sold for the same price. Perhaps due to the exotic charm, perhaps due to the period counterculture that elected Volkswagen (literally “people’s car”) as its representative on four wheels, the fact is… Read More Red find: 1965 Volkswagen Typ 1 Convertible
Generally speaking, the typical characteristics of a car that is defined as a “barn find” are those of a car that has not been used for many years, with a substantially sound body and complete with all its parts. Anything that does not satisfy these conditions is simply scrap. In this specific case, the car… Read More Swedish red: 1970 Volvo 1800E
How much are you willing to pay for a chassis number if it belongs to one of the 300 Porsche 356 Cabriolets produced in ’53? We assume that everyone has a different answer. We are talking about the chassis because on this Porsche, in addition to it, the only original parts remain those relating to… Read More Almost bent: 1953 Porsche 356 Cabriolet
The worst choice you can make for a classic car is to try to restore it in your garage: we have seen so many undergo this choice, and in very few cases it has gone well. This rare B24 Spider (chassis # B24S 1154) is not one of those successful cases: as almost always happens,… Read More Rotten but not forgotten: 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider
“Duetto”, “Osso di Seppia”, “Boattail”, “Graduate” are all names and nicknames given to this model, probably only the Volkswagen Typ 1 received a greater number of nicknames during its 50 year long production. So call it what you prefer but we are pretty sure that you know the model well, and many of you also… Read More Ready to graduate: 1967 Alfa Romeo 1600 Spider
It is not an everyday thing to find a 2600 sprint in the USA: unlike its convertible sister, in fact, it did not have the desired success overseas. It is even more difficult to find one in conditions like this: a car that needs a restoration that also involves the bodywork (fans of classic Alfa… Read More Desert slate: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint by Bertone
For sure this first generation Bronco is uncut, however this is the only positive note about its body which is rusted in several areas. Apart from the bodywork work which, as we all know, alone constitutes at least 50% of the cost of a complete restoration, there are still some positive notes: first of all… Read More Uncut: 1975 Ford Bronco
And here, the same seller who owns the Lancia Artena published a few days ago, sells this rare Alfa Romeo, even more rare as it never seems to have been restored. We have not seen many 6C 2500s built by Pininfarina in similar conditions: the last was perhaps a blue specimen, on sale in Italy… Read More Out of the barn: 1948 Alfa Romeo 6C2500 S Cabriolet by Pininfarina
There are many books on every Lancia model built before the war, and the reason is simple: it is difficult to find even just two cars that are identical in every detail. This happened basically for two reasons: the first is related to the fact that these were cars built mainly to order by wealthy… Read More Exposed bones: 1934 Lancia Artena Series III 228C
We all know that you can’t have your cake and eat it, so if your craving is for an inexpensive classic spider, there’s work to be done to get there. In this specific case, there is a lot of work to be done: first of all you have to fill in a very long checklist… Read More Southern project: 1960 Triumph TR3 A
