1961 Lancia Appia Vignale Cabriolet |
Parts car located in northern California in late 2004. With friend Mike M.'s help and patience, I cut it in half and towed the front half home on a tow dolly - facing backwards - with a Lancia Beta Coupe. Will become the donor of many needed parts (drivetrain, windshield, etc.) to the black one. |
 |
1964 Fiat 2300 Coupe |
A rare "big-six" Fiat Coupe that belonged to my friend Phillip R. This car will need a very ambitious full restoration of every aspect, or would serve as a great partscar if I were able to find a less rusty shell to work with in which to transplant all of this '64's parts . |
 |
1967 Fiat Dino Coupe |
Bodyshell purchased on Long Island. Had several good parts that made it worth purchasing. Will be completely stripped down of all remaining good parts and the metal will be recycled. |
 |
196X International Scout "800" |
A V8 parts truck that I acquired to use for parts to restore the other (1962) Scout. |
 |
1972 Fiat 850 Sport Spider |
Acquired as a parts car donation from a friend in Eastern PA. The car's windshield will be transplanted into the "good" 1973 Spider, and many of its other parts will go to support the other 850-based cars in the collection. |
 |
1973 Citroen SM |
A very rare car, one of the original "supercars" of the 70's. Maserati 3.0L V6 engine. This one needs a lot of work in all areas (body, mechanical, interior, trim). Will either be restored or parted out. |
 |
1973 Volvo P1800ES |
This car came with a Volvo/Triumph used-parts inventory I purchased in 2009. It's likely unrestorable due to body issues but will be given a thorough assessment before the decision is made (part out or restore). |
 |
1974 Porsche 914 |
A local car I picked up with a bunch of spare parts. Not sure if it's restorable...most likely it'll end up parted out. |
 |
1976 Fiat 131 |
A complete 4-door automatic 131 parts car rescued from friend Philip's repair shop in southeastern PA. Far too rusty to be saved, but has already donated many needed parts and will continue to do so as long as we have room for it. |
 |
1981 Fiat Spider 2000 Turbo |
A very rare Turbo Spider. Mostly complete, but has rust issues. Not sure if it will be restored or used as a parts car. |
 |
1984 Bitter SC |
Bitter parts car that was offered to me by a very gererous guy from an Opel club in southern Virginia that I "met" through eBay. Turns out I had gone to look at buying this car on Long Island some 10 years earlier! Only has 15,000 or so miles on it. Not sure what to do with this one yet... |
 |
1984 Bitter SC |
Another Bitter parts car, also acquired on eBay from a really nice guy from Indiana. Has a beautiful interior, most of the trim bits I needed, and has the only (complete but shot) Bitter engine of the four Bitters in the warehouse. Not sure what to do with this one yet either. |
 |
1985 Bertone X1/9 |
Nice X1/9 with only 58,351 original miles on it, but lightly tweaked in the rear. Riding the fence between restoration candidate and parts car. |
 |
1985 Maserati Biturbo |
2.5-liter V6 with 3-speed automatic transmission. Too nice to part out, but needs a lot (body, mechanical, interior, trim) to be really nice. Great parts donor if we do end up going that way with it. |
 |
1986 Maserati 425 |
2.5-liter V6 with 3-speed automatic transmission. This car was a NYC resident's daily driver until parked for a long time - outdoors, unfortunately. Body is too far gone to be saved, so this Maserati will be a good source of parts for the other two. |
 |
1988 Toyota Landcruiser "FJ-62" |
Purchased out of the Scranton, PA area. Currently serving as a parts truck for the other Landcruisers. May eventually be put back together and sold. Ironically, this one cost me more to buy than any of the LC's it's currently keeping alive! |
 |
1989 Audi 200 Turbo quattro Sedan |
Purchased out of Maryland on eBay as a parts-car for my beloved Avant. Price paid was worth the European headlights it had in it, but it's also donated many good parts already and will continue to do so as long as we have room for it! |
