Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.
Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
