Actually Driven: 1987 Ferrari 328 GTS

When we see a sports or exotic car come up for grabs, we typically see a max of 25,000 miles or so (give or take). So anything higher than that is worth talking about, as it’s always refreshing to… more»

V12 Powered 2+2: 1995 Ferrari 456GT

There are times when you look at a certain car, and then look at the fleet of project vehicles you own, and realize that if you sold all of them, you could own a legitimate exotic. That’s what crossed… more»

Early Euro “Cat, Non-Adjust” 1990 Ferrari F40

For the Ferrari F40 shopper, catalytic converters and adjustable suspensions are particularly meaningful. Normally options are great, but Ferrari often dishes out barely roadable race cars. In these special cases, the absence of both the cat and the problematic… more»

Three Lancia Beta Coupes For $1,200

It’s rare to see even one Lancia Beta coupe, but this vendor in Gardendale, Texas has put three of them for sale as a package on Craigslist. The “bundle deal” is a mere $1,200, and you’d be nuts to… more»

Low Mileage Supercar: 1986 Ferrari 328 GTS

The Ferrari 328 is perhaps one of the most recognized symbols of 1980s-era wealth and excess. The 328, like the Lamborghini Countach, was a poster child of sorts for anyone who loved fast cars and aspired to look like… more»

BF Auction: 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce

Only 9K Miles!? 1967 Fiat 500L

I’m not certain how long Fiat is for this U.S. world. It seems that their domestic reappearance, courtesy of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), is now threatened under FCA’s incorporation into Stellantis. Art of Gears author, Matthew Wolfe wrote a… more»

Pinin Farina Masterpiece: 1950 Fiat 1100S Coupe

Fiat’s 1100 – designed in 1937 and first known as either the Fiat 508C or the Balilla 1100  – was a family car with a few tricks up its proverbial sleeve. Diminutive but still able to seat four, the… more»

Entry Level Exotic: 1991 Ferrari Mondial T

The Ferrari Mondial used to be a bit of a loser in the vintage and sports car market. Long considered the bottom of the barrel of the 1980s lineup, that sentiment has changed dramatically in recent years. The Mondial… more»

Italian 4×4: 1961 Fiat AR59 Campagnola

The Willys Jeep made more of an impression on the world than we give it credit for. Willys were loitering around several countries after WWII so many enterprising military organizations deconstructed individual Jeeps to create their own versions. The… more»

Suspended Project: 1960 Fiat 1200 Cabriolet “Vetture Speciali”

  This car entered its seller’s garage in 2019 and has rested undisturbed ever since. One of a vast library of Fiat 1100-based models, the 1200 was introduced as the Granluce saloon and the Turismo Veloce Spider in 1957…. more»

The Baby Pinin Ferrari? 1962 Fiat 1200

When I first spied this 1962 Fiat 1200 Cabriolet, I thought, at first, it was a late ’60s Datsun 1600/2000. Nope, not quite but it is a Fiat model that I have not encountered before. Said to be sitting… more»

Chevy-Powered Replica: Lamborghini Countach Tribute

We recently saw a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing come up for sale that is one of the best replicas I’ve ever seen. Now, we have a Lamborghini Countach that is a close second in terms of how well the facsimile… more»

46K Mile California Car: 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider

Whenever I see a classic boat-tail Alfa Romeo Spider, it reminds me of one of my saddest and fondest junkyard finds of a near-identical specimen that has sadly rotted past reasonable salvation. This Alfa is a much better car,… more»

One Owner Example: 1976 Lancia Scorpion

A Lancia Scorpion is not exactly the kind of car that pops into mind when considering likely suspects for long-term, single-caretaker ownership. However, this has to be the lone example of a notoriously needy car that has been in… more»

Designed by Bertone: 1968 Fiat 850 Spider

The Fiat 850 Spider was a budget-minded sports car built in Italy between 1965 and 1973. It was a variant of the 850 Coupe and had its flowing lines developed by Carrozzeria Bertone of Turin. A large number of… more»
