1970 saw Giorgetto Giugiaro of Ital Design reveal his 4th concept car, the 1970 Giugiaro Porsche Tapiro. The car was designed with double gull-wing doors and was based on the Porsche 914 chassis using the same 2.4 litre flat-6 producing 220 bhp and 7200 rpm.
The 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB is one of the less famous classic Ferraris, it’s not looked back on with quite the same rose-tinted glasses as the 250 GTO or the Daytona and I think this is an oversight.
Drag racing a bright fuchsia AC Cobra has to be just about the coolest hobby a man can have, hats off to Ed Hedrick.
As a guy with solid British heritage I think it only fitting to mention the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee this week, this is a post-WWII photograph of then Princess Elizabeth with her favourite corgi, sitting in what I think is a Rolls-Royce.
I’m going to need someone to explain, or try to explain, what the hell is going on in this picture. Click the image for the large size.
This beautiful 1962 Moretti 2500 SS Coupe with coachwork by Carrozzeria Moretti is one of only 20 to have ever been made, it’s powered by a 2500cc carburettor fed straight-6 with 170hp.
The barn find is a dream held by many, some men spend their entire lives driving around the country, visiting old widows and creaking open doors to long forgotten garages in the hope that as their eyes adjust to the darkness, they’ll see something just like this.
I love the argument that the two men on the left side of the picture are having. I assume he was saying something along the lines of “What the hell do you mean we only have 3 spare wheels?”
The 1970 Oldsmobile 442 was the result of General Motor’s decision at the beginning of the model year to drop engine capacity limitations. The 455cu or 7.5 litre engine was one of the largest V8s used during the decade and even now stands as a sort of loud testament to a time when displacement was king.
Not much to say about this, other than mention the fact that I now want to buy that car.
I can think of many uses for 4 Shelby Mustangs. Hell, I’d be quite happy driving around in that fantastic looking truck.
This is a rather unique motorcar, it gives the first impression of being an early ’60s Zagato but it’s actually based on a DB7 Vantage from the late ’90s. Coachbuilders Evanta stripped the donor DB7 down to almost nothing…
