6 Classic Cars to Own and Drive
What does it feel like to hit the modern roads with classic cars? We are talking about cars that were produced 40 or more years ago and still highly usable today.
Meanwhile, what will happen if you own classic cars, which are soaring in value in recent years?
Luxify believes you’ll love Canepa, where you could find the finest classic cars alongside the finest restoration service. Thus, let us see 6 of their classic cars that will surprise the drivers whom you pass on the open road:
1. 1965 Lotus Elan Series 2
This stunning example of the legendary Elan is a very rare, early Series 2 car. It is the 90th of approximately 100 produced in late 1964 as a 1965 model year. Also, it features the higher quality. 1 piece dashboard with integrated glove box of the Series 2 cars, but still sports the purest Elite-like Series 1 round taillights.

2. 1940 Ford Deluxe Woodie
This all-original 1940 Ford Woodie Station Wagon was virtually untouched for over 30 years after it was purchased in Orange County, California in 1940. Thus, in the 1970s this rarely driven California treasure made its way into Mr Nick Macaluso’s impressive car collection of over 50 vehicles.

3. 1988 Porsche 959
Finished at the factory on April 13th 1988, this 959 was special ordered with paint to sample Garnet metallic paint. Over the years the car was cared for in a private collection and has just recently been brought to the United States by Canepa. The Porsche 959 was by far the most technologically advanced sportscar when it was introduced in 1985. Hence, their timeless design, state-of-the-art systems, and superior driving characteristics make them one of the greatest sports cars of all time.

4. 1973 Porsche 911 2.7 RS Touring
Beautifully restored, unquestionably correct and extremely well-maintained. Also, this striking example personifies the pure and legendary first expression of Porsche’s Rennsport 911 models. Revealed at the 1972 Paris Auto Show, it also was a factory special built to meet the homologation rules of FIA Group 4 racing.

5. 1973 BMW 3.0 CSL
This 3.0 CSL is equipped with the rare City Package, which was designed to make the homologation special 3.0 CSL more usable as a daily driver. It was originally developed as a homologation model for the German Touring Car Championship by a separate division within BMW AG, a division that would later become BMW Motorsport. For a homologation special that came out in an oil crisis costing more than an Aston Martin, there is no wonder just over 1000 were produced. And the ‘L’ in CSL stood for lightweight.

6. 1940 Ford Coupe
Built by the highly regarded hot rod designer, Don Varner, the ordinary 40′ Ford was turned into a timeless, mildly customized hot rod. No part of the car was left untouched. Thus, the 1940 was all metal finished with no bondo (Don hates bondo). The Coupe has independent front suspension, elliptical rear springs, gas shocks, rack and pinion steering, and Wilwood disc brakes at each corner. With less than 1,500 miles on the Coupe since its build it presents as a freshly finished car.
