FCA Will Restore And Sell Amazing Classics Like The Alfa Romeo SZ

More and more manufacturers seem to be cottoning on to the fact that they can get in on the booming classic car market. Aston Martin and Jaguar are two prominent examples, with various continuation models from the pair making headlines over the last year or so. And now, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is getting in on the act.

FCA’ Heritage is launching its ‘Reloaded by Creators’ scheme, which will purchase, restore and sell notable classics from the Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia and Abarth brands. “The sums raised will then be used to finance new scouting activities to add important new pieces to FCA’s historic collection,” the automotive giant said in a press release.

Lancia stratos when?

Is anyone else thinking about how this could be bad for automotive restoration businesses if more manufacturers adopt this.

What about the old Charger and Challenger? They could make some really good money if they restored and sold an old Charger Daytona.

They need to take great care to ensure the reliability problems are preserved from the originals!

Yes, but can they de-rust-ify a Lancia Beta?

I’d go for them all! But the SZ And the fulvia first
