As we know, and as we have reiterated several times, South America often holds surprises, particularly about classic Italian cars. The surprise of this time is a Lancia Aurelia of 1952, so a B21 probably, but certainly not: it could also be a B10, with a 1.8-liter V6 engine, but we do not have such… Read More Southern dust: 1952 Lancia Aurelia B21
Few days ago we’ve found a photo of a totaled Porsche 356B T5 and we posted it onto our FB page: that photo belongs to an actual ad. The car is almost irrecoverable: in fact it is, but at a cost that would greatly exceed its value once restored. What really matters here is the… Read More No emel: 1961 Porsche 356B T5 Coupé
This 356 T5 (you recognize it from the pointed front bonnet and the absence of the external filler nozzle) was born with a very nice color, Royal Blue, now faded. However, this specimen remained as mother Porsche did it, of course affected by the wounds of time that have left its scars here and… Read More Faded royal: 1961 Porsche 356B T5 S Cabriolet
In the past we have published articles on the Sabra Roadster because they were the only ones we found on sale: this time it is a coupe, or rather, two coupes. These two Sabra are not only the same model but both are red and both have to be completely restored: actually that’s not a… Read More Autumn stash: Two 1964 Sabra GT Coupé
What we have here is a Maserati Mistral – with a four liter engine – disassembled years ago to be modified: fortunately for the car, the project to modify it has failed. A substantial part of the project concerned in fact the replacement of its original engine (taken apart 30 years ago) with an American… Read More Rest in pieces/2: 1967 Maserati Mistral 4.0
After a few weeks we return to Argentina to find a very rare car: it was designed and built by Louis Varela and equipped with a Renault engine, transmission and suspension. Being a small producer, Varela appropriately decided that his cars should have a fiberglass bodywork to contain production costs and, at the same time,… Read More Evolution of the species: 1970 Varela Andino GT
This seems like the perfect project: an apparently healthy 356 A, never damaged and equipped with the original engine. You can not ask for much more for a restoration project. In addition to having the original engine, it seems that this 356 also has the doors, the front and rear hood on which are shown… Read More Ready for the job: 1958 Posche 356 A T2 Coupé
Well, here we are dealing with a typical case of “Hey, how about selling that wreck sitting for thirty years in the garage?” In this specific case, the wreck is a De Tomaso Pantera, probably an “L” model. The patient’s condition does not seem very serious but surely there are many areas on which to… Read More Make offer: 1971 De Tomaso Pantera L
This car was designed by John Crosthwaite and Franco Scaglione, has beautiful lines and yet is still quite unknown to most vintage car enthusiasts. Far from us to want to stimulate a market already quite speculative, but this car is still very undervalued for us, so, at the right price, chances like these should be… Read More American italian: 1968 Intermeccanica Italia Spider
This early 2600 Sprint is a barn find which, as you easily can see, needs a total restoration, however the seller says that, despite its look, the car is solid underneath. Floors are indeed the are which mostly worries every guy which has to decide if joining a restoration trip or search for another car,… Read More Restoration package: 1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint
