It is an Italian with an American heart, and perhaps this is why it was very successful in the USA, much more than other supercars produced in the same period. After all, having an engine full of torque, power and cheap to run like the Ford 351 was not a bad advantage, especially when compared… Read More Bare metal: 1972 De Tomaso Pantera L
Yes, there are holes almost everywhere on the bodywork, evidently this car was parked outdoors or under a shed, probably also with holes in it. However, under that layer of rust that you see there is still a 190 SL which, according to the seller, has matching numbers and also has a hard top, an… Read More Hole in the pocket: 1960 Mercedes 190 SL
No, it is not our intention to publish all existing Veloces, however, given the car’s rarity, we feel compelled to do so every time we find one for sale. It is an example that we could define as a “barn find”, in the typical conditions of a 60-year-old Alfa Romeo that has not only been… Read More Crusty red: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
On this Mustang, born in Springtime Yellow and then repainted in red, there is a lot of work to do, however it is a GT390 Fastback and this is not a negligible detail. As already mentioned, the work to be done to bring it back to factory conditions is not even negligible, and this work… Read More Reworked: 1967 Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback
Here is a true “Barn find”: a car that was parked indoors many, many years ago, not rotten, that was not cannibalized or disassembled and scattered in buckets. And, most of all, belonged to the same guy during the last six decades. This event is even more remarkable because we are talking about an Alfa… Read More Normale from the past: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Among the countless applications of the chassis of the Volkswagen Typ 1 (aka Beetle) there was also this: the Apal 1200, with the body strictly made of fiberglass. Apal was a Belgian company, indeed the name is the acronym of “Application Polyester Armé de Liège” (Reinforced Polyester Application of Liege), and only 150 of these… Read More Body only: 1962 Apal 1200
The color is black and now opaque while the interior is red: a very nice combo color even if, unfortunately, not original. In fact, the seller says that, according to the certificate of origin, the original color is Lavender Gray, a color that does not contrast the red as much as black and yet it… Read More Faded black: 1953 jaguar XK120 O.T.S.
BMWs, even in the 1930s, were never large cars, at least in comparison with their compatriots Mercedes Benz, but after the Second World War they had to start from very small dimensions. Indeed, it was already a miracle that BMW had got back on its feet (thanks to the Amerian economic aid) so the fact… Read More Unofficially imported: 1963 BMW 700 Cabriolet
A tip from personal experience: if you intend to buy a classic car to be restored, never buy rotten scrap just to save on the purchase price: at the end of the restoration you will regret it bitterly. You will regret it for three reasons: the first is about the money you will spend; in… Read More Dry white: 1962 Porsche 356B T6 Coupé
Certainly there is still a long way to go, before returning to being usable, for this rare Alfa Romeo, but also in rather serious conditions. It is a typical example of a car abandoned for decades (in our opinion no less than three) in bad weather and later, probably consequently to the rise in prices,… Read More Long way to go: 1969 Alfa Romeo GT Junior by Zagato
