Matching rust: 1959 Porsche 356A Convertible D by Drautz

Yes, there is a lot of rust over and under this rare 356 A Convertible D built by Drautz but still it’s a rare car and it is said to have a matching number engine, and that’s is not a little thing. Other than being a matching number car, a new floor has been welded,… Read More Matching rust: 1959 Porsche 356A Convertible D by Drautz

Hard farming: 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider

This late 750 Giulietta Spider (chassis #1495.11180) could have been in better conditions than it is but unfortunately both sides are damaged because of a farm equipment which backed into the car from the driver side. Then the car was pushed on another farm equipment on the passenger side: this carelessness now means a salty bill… Read More Hard farming: 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider

It’s original once: 1962 Lancia Flaminia Coupé by Pininfarina

Here is another car which doesn’t need a full restoration: it oozes “patina” from every spot and it looks as original as it leaved the factory 55 years ago. Of course it is not a driveable car as it is parked from many years ago but the seller says that the engine turns so we… Read More It’s original once: 1962 Lancia Flaminia Coupé by Pininfarina

Not Veloce: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT

This Giulia Sprint GT is advertised as a Veloce but what we can see actually belongs to a “normal” one: however, don’t think that this is much more common than its faster sister. So it is not a Veloce: not only for the wrong steering wheel, dashboard, seats, but most of all for the chassis… Read More Not Veloce: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT

Dismembered: 1962 Maserati 3500 GT by Touring

Never this bad. We’ve seen many Maserati 3500 projects but we’ve never seen a car hated like this one: it seems to have been considered just as an aluminium stash. The engine is there but unfortunately it’s just one among a ton of missng parts: the interiors are gone as well as the floors, no… Read More Dismembered: 1962 Maserati 3500 GT by Touring

The golden rule: 1959 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Cabriolet

The sticker on the rear bumper is clear: “Who has the gold makes the rule”. Well, you need gold to rebuild this car but it’s a “Lowlight” KG Cabrio and it’s definitely worth it. Ineed the fist series of the Karmann Ghia has a sleeker profile on the front than the cars built from 1960:… Read More The golden rule: 1959 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Cabriolet

Odd project: 1967 OSI 20M TS Coupé

We have seen some of these rare coupé built in Turin by OSI (on a EU Ford Taunus chassis, suspensions and engine) for sale but all of them were at least in driveable conditions: this isn’t. By the way it’s quite rare to spot two for sale in such a short amount of time (we’ve published… Read More Odd project: 1967 OSI 20M TS Coupé

Next summer: 1958 Porsche 356 A Cabriolet

You can’t drive this car this summer for sure but with enough effort, both mental and financial, you could enjoy this ultra-classic Porsche on the next summer. This is one of those cars (t’s not the first one we see with this option) which were equipped with the hard top only, without any soft top.… Read More Next summer: 1958 Porsche 356 A Cabriolet

Too open: 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTC by Touring

The original design of the GT, as many of you well know, came from the magic pencil of Giugiaro on behalf of Bertone coachworks, however not many know that the GTC was built by Touring. This car was not a best seller probably because the GT has always been felt as a sports car, so… Read More Too open: 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTC by Touring

Solid state: 1958 Lancia Appia Coupé by Pininfarina

What the seller says is true: you can find one of these Appia Coupè quite easily in Europe but in the U.S.A. these are rare, especialy if they have been sold new for the U.S. market like this one. By the way this car is not only a barn find but it’s also invery god… Read More Solid state: 1958 Lancia Appia Coupé by Pininfarina
