Classic cars are our passion. Driving our classic cars is an even bigger passion. But the internet is our addiction ... Just as we can drive for hours, we can surf the internet for hours on end. Always trying to find that special car for sale in some obscure little corner.

Needs completing: 1962 Maserati 3500 GTi

Update 19/2:  The auction was ended early with a Buy-It-Now of EUR39800. No surprise there really …

From 17/2:

Older sports tourers are seriously cool in our opinion, and especially these older Maserati GTs. This particular one for sale on ebay Germany needs completion and is unfortunately missing a few bits and pieces. It is a Maserati 3500 GTi (2a serie), an aluminium-bodied, fuel-injected 2+2 coupe designed by Carrozzeria Touring. About 500 were made.

1959 Cisitalia Abarth 850 Riviera TC

We featured one of these cars back in September 2008. Another one has come up for sale, again in Italy. Rome to be more precise. It seems like someone started the restoration but has decided to pass on the opportunity. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to mention a price.

Great opportunity: 1973 Fiat 124 CSA Stradale

15/1:  We have been informed the car has been sold.

From 12/1:

For sale in the area around Calais in the north of France is this 1973 Fiat 124 Abarth that needs completing. This is an extraordinary opportunity for someone to acquire one of the homologation versions of these rally icons of the 1970s. We are very tempted ourselves to buy the car and we can see this car gone in no time.

Very rare: 1964 Moretti 2500SS Coupé

We’ve covered a few Morettis before, and we must admit that we quite like his cars. He was quite an enterprising character really, he set up his own company at 21 years of age. He built cars based on Fiats and you’ll be hard pushed these days to find two identical cars as lots of them had little differences. And you’ll be VERY lucky to see another one of these come up for sale. It’s a Moretti 2500SS Coupé based on the Fiat 2300. We’ve only known a 2500SS Spider come up for sale on ebay UK a couple of years ago.

Hot wheels! 1974 Ford Escort RS2000 Zakspeed tribute

Update 16/1:   The car didn’t meet reserve with 27 bids and EUR9062

From 3/1:

This is an unfinished project. The seller, who has 20 years experience as a car painter, has to let go because of health problems. He also has more than 11 years of experience with extreme tuning projects, and by God … it shows. What a monster Group 5 Ford racer he’s created! Fantastic!

Stylish: 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider

For sale in the North of France, close to Calais, is this stylish Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring. It’s a Series 102 and seems to have been laid up in a barn for quite a few years. It is in need of a full restoration. It will also need a bonnet and an engine. We have no idea what other parts could be missing.

Rare: Fiat 600 Francis Lombardi “Lucciola”

Francis Lombardi was an Italian WWI hero who started an aircraft factory in 1938. After WWII he went into carrozzeria and started developing body styles based on the Fiat 1100. He also did some design work with the Fiat 600 and developed the Lucciola or “firefly”. It was quite a successful style that he carried through to a couple of other models. A 600 Lucciola has popped up for sale on passioneauto.it in Italy.

Supercool: 1969 Innocenti C Coupé

Innocenti is an Italian company that used to make the famous Lambretta scooters after the war. We bet that’s something not a lot of people know. The next little-known fact is probably that Innocenti had a licensing agreement with BMC, the British Leyland Motor Company to produce the Mini and the Austin-Healey Sprite Mark II. Ghia redesigned the Sprite body to match the floorplan. They later even added a roof to it!

Mystery: 1946 Fiat 508c

Update 23/9:   The car is a unique body made on a Fiat 508c Balilla basis. It was made in 1953. Thank you to Nik on alfabb.com.

 

Here at Classic Car Hunter, we are astonished sometimes with the amount of cars that Fiat used to produce. Or the amount of Fiat derivatives or etceterinis as they are called. Here is yet another different body based on the Fiat 508c or 1100.
