Burnt to a crisp: 1985 Porsche 911
Seriously, this thing is toasty. If you've ever wanted to see what an 80's 911 looks like after being in an inferno, this is it. There's essentially nothing left outside of the seat frames and the body. These 80's 911's are wonderful cars, and as such have been rising...
1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster Project

Ferrari 250 SWB (or similar) hood!
This could be a very cool find. We've stumbled across what is potentially a real Ferrari 250SWB hood (or California Spider, or similar)! The seller doesn't seem to have much information, but says it seems to have been welded at least once as a result of a larger...
Ferrari Daytona Rear Clip
We came across this potentially rare and desirable Ferrari Daytona rear clip! It is apparently "the only one in the world" but we're not sure if that is true. Having said that, if you've crashed your Daytona and need a rear clip, this might be the only one available....
RUF BTR 3.4
RUF is synonymous with Porsche, however, RUF is actually a separate manufacturer, and is recognized as such. They take Porsche Chassis, and build RUF cars from the ground up, using true RUF VIN numbers. Not every RUF has been manufactured like this, as their first...
Rare factory option Ferrari carbon sport seats
Ferrari 360's are not all that rare, as you can find many for sale at any given time. However, to find them with factory carbon fiber sport seats is actually quite rare. Apparently dealers had a tough time selling the cars with these seats, but personally we'd have...
Ferrari 288 GTO Owner’s Manual
Talk about a rare owner's manual! With only 272 288 GTO's produced not only is it rare to find one of these cars, but to find an owner's manual seems even harder. We found one for sale here:...
1936 Fiat 508S Balilla Berlinetta
The Fiat 508 was the run of the mill Fiat in 1930's Italy. Fiat made 113,000 from 1932-1937! Having said that, this Fiat 508S Balilla was not a run of the mill 508. It was purpose built for competitions, which is clear from its aerodynamic and slippery design cues....
Cyclops: 1992 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce
The Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce has been in production since 1966. There have been four series' of Alfa Spiders, but the one we have here is a series four car. This was the final series of the Alfa Spider, and production ended in 1993. There were only two trim levels,...

What is it? 1959 Isabella Sport Coupe
This ad for a 1959 Isabella Sport Coupe is odd and interesting because we genuinely didn't know what it was. It has some nice curvy lines, like that of a vintage Italian car, and even has an Italian name "Isabella" but it turns out it's not Italian. This car is...
