Corvairs are much maligned as the classic car that attracts the greatest number of equivalents to the crazy cat ladies of the world, and while that stereotype might have roots in some truth, there are certainly plenty of normal Corvair fans who are in recovery have their addiction under control only have one or two Corvairs. Nonetheless, there are plenty of other car makes that seem to attract hoarders collectors, and though this person is probably in a crowd of one, evidently Lancia Betas aroused that tendency in someone.

Hantariffic Betagasm – Lancia Beta Collection
June 16, 2015Back to Basics – 1973 MG Midget
June 4, 2015Just like there’s a lot to be said for the purity of the pair of pickups featured here recently, or a simple people’s car like a Mini or Fiat 500, the simplicity of a bottom-end sports car is also really appealing. Simple electrical system, simple engine, and not many amenities to go wrong mean you should be spending most of your time driving, and when you do need to fix things, you can do it with a very simple set of hand tools. At least that’s the theory. Check out this 1973 MG Midget for sale for $2000 in Hood River, OR.
Rusty and Probably Trusty – 1968 Fiat 124 Spider
May 1, 2015Just when you thought only cars newer than 1980 were getting written up, here’s a quick feature of a car that was a candidate for the RustyButTrusty fleet. And no, this time it’s not a tale of woe where the car slipped away. That said, it could still be a tale of woe, but only because the car was missing a couple of things that were important to this buyer. However, it’s still very appealing in the sense that it’s an early smooth-hood AS-series spider, supposedly with a 1438cc twincam Lampredi four cylinder (more on that later). It’s also got the lovely small bumpers, little round side marker lights, small tail lights, and probably some other features the Fiatisti among you will know about.
