I have a ton more pics but don't want to hog the thread. But I have been collecting them for a long time.

Anyway...

SBarro Isatis. Very unusual tail lights. Not sure if it is a Vette incarnation or not. Looks like it. I like it, actually. (smile)

Bandini

50s Italian styling ahead of time and timeless at the sametime





Then there is the funky lines of the Bertone X1/9 prototype the runabout which I find oddly interesting, but I do own (for a while longer at least) a X1/9.

Fioravante F100

This one I think is really interesting. Breathtaking lines of a sports car behind the mask of a devil. It has even got 2 devil's horns.
