One of 330: 1967 Iso Grifo GL Series 1

While the De Tomaso Pantera comes immediately to mind when thinking of strikingly-styled Italian GTs with American powerplants, the Iso Grifo is another take on the same recipe – but in far more limited quantities. Powered by a 350… more»

20k Mile 1985 Maserati Biturbo For $5,950

The Last Cheap Ferrari? 1980 Ferrari 308 GT4

Original Tires Included: 1973 De Tomaso Pantera

The De Tomaso Pantera is a car that needs no introduction, as it’s one of the more sough-after (and still attainable) sports exotics from the 1970s. That “attainable” aspect is interesting, as I suspect the Pantera is heading for… more»

Bucket List Car? 1978 Alfa Romeo Spider

Bone Stock Busso: 1984 Alfa Romeo GTV6
