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...
Crooked Teeth: 1963 Morgan Plus 4
The Morgan +4 is a car manufactured by Morgan from 1950-1969. It was then revived twice, from 1985-2000, and again in 2005. The +4 is a more powerful, slightly longer version of the Morgan 4/4. After 1962, these cars came equipped with a 2.1 liter inline four cylinder...

Vintage Street Scenes: What Can You Spot?
Street scenes from decades past, all across the country (but mostly California). If you happen to recognize anything, or just want to shout out what you see, comment below!
Coming soon to Rapley Classics: BMW 850CSi
BMW never made an M8. They probably wanted to, but it never happened. The closest thing to an M8 ended up being the 850CSi. With a meaty 5.6 liter V12 up front, driving the rear wheels, there wasn’t much separating the 850CSi from a true M division car. The big V12...
LA Times 1967. Jag XKE – where is it today?
April 30th 1967. LA Times advert. Where is it today? CPB185 - here she is! The great thing about old California classified adverts is that they listed the cars license plate right in the ad. This E-type Roadster was for sale in 1967 for $2,450, then in January of 2018...
1969 Intermeccanica Omega
Larry Lavers, a 31 year old lawyer in New York City, regularly attended the NY Auto Show. The year was 1969, and Larry had just taken a new job with a large salary increase. The Auto Show beckoned him, and his newly lined pockets, to have a browse. Little did he know...
Where is it? Lamborghini Miura
Please let us know if you've seen the car recently or have any info on it. This Lamborghini Miura Chassis No. 3159 is a car I saw in Brazil many years ago. It was in unrestored condition, as can be seen in the photos. An early P400 which had apparently been...

Before and After: 1965 Alfa Romeo Sprint Speciale
We bought this Alfa Sprint Speciale in 2011 from a gentleman in Manhattan Beach, CA. The car had been parked on the street after blowing a head gasket, and left there for quite a while. As a result it had its fair share of dings from being bumped, side swiped,...
1939 BMW 327
Where is it today? 1939 BMW 327, VIN. 73800. We purchased this car from a man in New Jersey back in 2011. We haven't come across any photos of the car restored or otherwise. Let us know if you have any information about this car, we'd love to see it today!...
1957 Ferrari 375MM
In the early 1970’s Ian Gunn wanted a Grand Prix Bugatti. Ian’s wife, Freda, said to him that “perhaps, by next Christmas, there’ll be a blue car parked in the Garage”. Blue is the standard color for French racing cars, Bugatti in particular. How could you not love a...
