This is a great looking car in great condition. It's cool to see a car like this - one not wearing GTO badges - in this condition.

1971 NSU 1200 - I'm trying to figure out the tail lights on this one. The seller writes, "(The) car has had rear end damage and and the rear panel was replaced and newer Saab tail lights installed though not perfect but it still looks good". I can't tell whether the panel was modified for the tail lights or if the Saab lights (which are pretty similar to the original NSUs) were forced to work with the original NSU tail lights holes. (It's stuff like this that keeps me up nights.)The 1200 was an evolution of the Prinz. It was bigger and more luxurious. (It's the fake wood again, I guess.)
Except for the Saab lights, this 1200 appears to be in very nice condition.

1985.5 (Fiat) Pininfarina Azzurra - This is an oddball. This is a '85.5 car. It was the last of the Azzurras and sold for just 1/2 a year. About 200 were sent to the US. The 85.5 Azzurra had rack and pinion steering and larger front rotors than earlier models. There were also a few minor interior changes.What makes this car extremely odd is that it has an automatic transmission.
According to the seller, this car was once owned by Dr. Atkins of The Atkins Diet fame.
This Azzurra appears to be in very nice condition. The asking price is a staggering $18,500.00. If you're a fan of rare Italian cars with automatic transmissions that were once owned by mid-range celebrities, this might be the only one you'll ever find at any price.

1974 Fiat 124TC - The Fiat (Pininfarina) above was once owned by a celebrity, but this car one-ups it. It hangs out with movie stars.This Fiat 124 is part of the Michael Harper-Smith Collection. Mr. Harper-Smith provides European cars to movie studios.
The 124 was rear wheel drive and, with the twin-cam engine, a lot of fun to drive. These cars are now rare in the US. It sold relatively well when new, but rust, electrical problems and ignorant mechanics took their toll on the 124 (and most other Fiats) and there are now very few left. (The 124 was also built and sold by Lada, SEAT, Kia and, by lesser-known companies in India, Bulgaria, Turkey and Egypt.)
This car needs a bit of minor work, but for a 36 year old Fiat, it's in great shape.
