Stunning Survivor Supercar: 1991 Lamborghini Diablo

Resplendent in Blue with Dove Gray top and interior, this 1992 Ferrari Mondial T in Palm Springs, California comes to market for the first time in 21 years. The desert climate and seller-described regular maintenance has this claimed 37,000… more»

Rare QV Droptop: 1983 Ferrari Mondial Cabriolet

Presidential Limo! 1964 Imperial Crown Ghia

The Chrysler Imperial was the automaker’s flagship car for much of its life, but in 1955 the Imperial gained a step in the luxury market by becoming its own brand, mainly to try and compete with offerings such as… more»

Parts Pile: 1979 Maserati Merak SS

UK-based Diesel Tractor! 1956 Lamborghini DL25

I, for one, did not know that Lamborghini was in the tractor business before sports cars. That business began in 1948 as Lamborghini Trattori and they’re still making high-quality farm and agricultural equipment today. This beautiful example of a… more»

CA Blue Plate Special: 1976 Lancia Scorpion

Lancias are always a subject of intrigue for me – especially when you review what they once made, compared to the sole Ypsilon that’s in production today. I assumed that Sergio Marchione would have killed the brand off back… more»

Epic Kiddy Car: 1962 Ferrari 250 GT California

Ultimate Poster Car: 1990 Ferrari F40

I’m willing to stick my neck on the line and say that the 1990 F40 was not the best-looking car to roll out of Ferrari’s factory in Maranello, Italy. It is a subjective opinion, but I’ve always felt the… more»

1-of-173: 1994 Lancia Delta Integrale HF “Evoluzione II”

Millecento! 1958 Fiat 1100/103D

I’m hardly a Fiat expert, and as far as my Italian goes, fuggedaboutit. And for those reasons, I was confused by the listing for a 1958 1100D “Millecento“. What we have here, besides an initial failure to communicate, is… more»

First One Made! 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP5000S
