Completely Forgotten Old Classic Sports Cars 

With pleasure. Have a nice day Felipe ! :)

@@CarNewsTV Thank you, may God bless you and your family 🙏🙏

yes...bianco!

Thank you! We really appreciate it :)

Yeh lambo should've made the estoque 4 door saloon , it was stunning, instead of that horrid suv anus/ urus whatever its called but people with money and no taste want these stupid suvs .

i live 1.min feet walk from the place where the melkus is building again today. better chassis(but same shape) with the original old engine. i see the car sometimes and its every time a dream.

Now if he had got a Dolomite Sprint - that's a faster car than the GT6, with 4 seats and doors, with comfort.

Yeah you're right. It wasnt one of their sexier designs but it was cool nonetheless.

I had an rx3 a 74 what a great little car the exhausted been ported and the automatic transmission had a shift kit it looked like a tiny little 69 mustang what a great little car I traded it for a 59 Chevy.

No, I don't really remember what I did with it it was clear back in the '70s I know you sure don't see very many of them up here in the Pacific Northwest I've only seen a couple of them in say 20 years. The only pain in the butt thing about the car was I thought it had lousy defrosters they sucked in cold weather.

Among us Japanese enthusiasts it's legendary.

@@leftright6054 I have to admit Mazda & Rotary Engines are written in my dna. The heading "Completely Forgotton" is ill founded in many Countries. Cheers.... They RX3 neve came in Black. In the 70's yep, bought a 12A, and had it painted in aircraft polyurethane Black. What a beauty. Cheers mate!

Went to high school at Yokota in the 70’s the R3 was the car the cool kids drove!! I got a 69 Skyline from my dad but still drooled when a Savannah pulled into the lot!!!

Thank you Robert :)

bro mas é um classico

O dono curte uns carros brazuca... Legal.

faltou ainda o Farus que fizeram como coupe e cabriolet, mas nao por muito tempo kkkkk

Thank you :)

Thank you man :) Happy new year

My dad had a GT-6 from 1969 to 76. A fun car to ride in and drive.

I had a cousin of the GT way back-a ‘65 Spitfire in English Racing Green. I sold it in ‘73 because it was a maintenance headache.

Can you do the repairs?

@@jaxxbrat2634 sure

Unfortunately, me too! lol

The sound has to be on TAPE with some awesome speakers and an amp.

I had among other things a Mk1 Vitesse which used identical underpinnings. I can confirm the dodgy handling..Later GT6s were fairly sorted, and most people would say avoid early ones..Except they just look ten times better so I'll put up with dodgy handling. I had another which had a weld failure on the chassis rail holding the radius arm. If you ever wanted to know what it was like driving a boat through London..Remove a radius arm on a 60s Triumph.

Remember the TR-7 and TR-8's? Triumph's last gasps. If Triumph had switched to Nippon-Denso electrics from "George Lucas, Prince of Darkness" the TR-8 could've been a fun car. Maybe. QC on the rest of the car wasn't anything to get excited about either. Toyota Corolla SR-5 Hatchbacks took over the market about that time, not from performance so much (my Alfa Romeo Spyder Velocie 1800 had that!) but from durability and dependability. Keep oil in it, put gas in it and drive-like a Honda cycle vs: a Triumph Tiger Cub or BSA (Barely Starts Anymore). MGB=More Garage Bills. Yup. Had 'em all! Bug-Eyed Sprite too! If you had a GT-6 in the US, you know about vapor-lock and the cure; a Weber!

You are correct. Except they sold more than 88 or 112, -maKING It TOO REAlistic of actually getting one!

@@duffgordon9005 They only sold seven of the R3 Avanti, and more rare still, only a single factory-built Studebaker Commander. For that matter, how many Espadas or Triumph GT6s were sold? More of each than the total number of Avantis of all types built including the Avanti II, the Villa Rica-built revival, and the Cancun final examples.

@@5610winston When I was 13, a guy up the street had an "avanti". Plus I imagine I have seen a few others, thus giving me a bias they were rare but "out there"

@@duffgordon9005 About 80 percent of Studebaker Avantis were equipped with the normally aspirated R1 version of the Studebaker 289 (no, this was not in any way related to the Ford engine of almost the same size), and of those, about sixty were equipped with three-speed manual floor shift transmission, built before the four-speed manual became standard. A few were equipped with Studebaker's popular (for other lines) planetary overdrive, but most got the Borg-Warner 'Powershift' three-speed automatic. About twenty percent got the supercharged R2 version of the 289. Seven '64 model Avantis were equipped with the five-liter (304.5 cubic inch) supercharged R3 engine. Two left South Bend (despite the misinformation, no Avantis either during Studebaker's final days or the Altman-Newman and successors Avanti II days, were ever built in Canada) with the dual carb, brutally high compression R4 normally aspirated 304. Studebaker rolled the dice and had a car that should have knocked the ball out of the park, but early production problems ultimately sank the venture. At 4643 total production between June of 1962 and the end of production on 9 December, 1963, the Avanti was built in higher numbers than some of the models featured here, much lower numbers than some of the others. Break production down by engine and transmission options and some are as rare as any of them. Any surviving Avanti, either Studebaker or Avanti Motor Corporation, is an automotive unicorn, more likely to draw the comment "What the hell is that thing?" than "[yawn] Oh, another Avanti."

Errr.... Bet you're not as sad as me though: Had a GT6, Fiat 850 coupe and always looked for a Marcos Mantula, Gilbern Wyvern and a Skoda 136 Rapid..... If CarNews TV did some research, he might have mentioned the Triumph Mayflower, Gilbern GT, AC Greyhound, etc......

Agreed, the Espada is my favourite Lamborghini and has been since I was about 11 years old!

@@BaddaBigBoom - Have you read Mr. (IIRC Feruccio) Lamborghini's history/story? It's interesting. Especially the bit where Enzo Ferrari wouldn't sell him a car (again, IIRC a 250 of some kind). Now; they're basically glorified VWs. Mind you; Ferrari's are overgrown Fiats BUT at least nowadays, they break down slightly less often. Which was Lamborghini's selling point back in the olden days. Because you couldn't see out of them very well and a lot of them drove like a pig on stilts.....

@@forandonbehalfof4753 No, all I know of Feruccio Lamborghini is that his initial mechanical exploits were the manufacture of farm tractors and then he set out to build sports cars that would rival Ferrari. I shall research more!

@@BaddaBigBoom - Ferdinand Porsche ALSO built tractors before cars. IIRC the Lamborghini name was still appearing on tractors on the 2000s (I've seen them "in the flesh"). I think Lamborghini really lost its standing with cars like the Countach - I still think they sucked! I've probably got a bit of an unfair advantage, though - I'm a petrolhead, grew up amongst petrolheads (as a 3yo, I remember my Father rebuilding a gearbox on the kitchen table!) so what chance did I have?... Didn't Lamborghini also make a 4x4 (LM002 or something)?

@philc8575 You don't currently own a Ferrari? did you sell it? they must have been beautiful experiences

Looks like a Bianco S / Bianco Furia (red one appears at 5:00).

Yes, the Venturi had the same V6 bloc PRV (Peugeot Renault Volvo) from your R30, but with different culass and lot of others spicy specs like biturbo...

Nothing, or almost nothing in common with the original PRV engine. Venturi factory worked so hard on this engine that it was homologated as their own engine : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IXzxxmGaWk0.html

Thank you Edson

@@CarNewsTV The Puma GTB is Extremelly Rare, but I saw one 10 years ago, Search for SM Clube Santa Matilde, L'Automobile Ventura "Italian name but a Brazilian car too" and my favourite a beautifull one targa Adamo CRX, in the 70's Brazil was a military government, the car imports was prohibited but the local manufacturing was permited, existed dozens of rare sport models that it's made few numbers.

Horrible noise and pollution.

A friend built one for autocrossing. He got information from Toyota on how to build the engine, and he did exactly what they said. We'd shift it about 11,000, so many autocrosses, you could leave it in first gear.

There was another guy who owned an Espada who put a ton of miles on his and had the motor rebuilt 5 times. He stated he believed the car could run a 140 MPH all day long. He clarified that there was no where you could run it that fast all day long, just that the car could do it. I believe him.
