These are some of the most interesting cars that have made it onto Motorious this week.
What a diverse market the collector car industry represents. Every week, the Motorious editorial staff does a dive into the classified section of the site to find the cars for sale that we would want to buy for ourselves. These cars are more than worthy of a new garage, and we're thrilled to be able to share our picks with the readers each week. Here is a list of cars to check out as we roll into the last weekend of June.
1974 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 TT 12
Making its debut on the track in 1967, the TIPO 33 was Alfa Romeo’s best effort at the time to compete on the European racing circuit. While initial successes included a win at its first Belgian hill climbing event, the car proved to be too unreliable for the World SportsCar Championships. However, by the following year, some of the kinks were worked out of the design and Alfa was able to overtake Porsche in the 2-liter class. This was clearly enough to prove to the Italian automaker that they were on to something good and enough cars were produced for homologation in the 1969 season.

Here’s Your Second Chance At Dodge’s Viper-Powered Truck
Dodge pulled out all the stops for their SRT-10 sports truck. Appointing the same engineers that brought us the Viper and the Prowler, Dodge’s performance division SRT fitted a V10 Viper engine under the workhorses hood. Wind tunnel testing was completed to refine the truck's aerodynamics and a sport tuned suspension was utilized to put the 500-horsepower to the ground. The result was a sporty truck with a muscle-bound design capable of running the quarter-mile in less than 14-seconds and accelerating to 60-mph from a standstill in just over 5-seconds.

1999 Shelby Series 1 Might Just Be The Perfect Roadster

With an all-aluminum racing chassis, a near-perfect weight distribution, and a stout 4.0-liter V8 engine, only 249 Series 1 cars were made.
