I know some of you have a liking for the fubby looking Italian cars so I thought I'd put some pics up of the one I just finished. Nothing special other than it has 26,000 ORIGINAL miles !! One owner, obviously garage kept. Paint had gone the way of most old paint jobs despite his care of the car. Went to bare metal, NO, ZERO, NADA rust at all. Only a few dents and the normal crappy factory stamping at the corners.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

An extremely nice 1750 GTV sold for $44K in Monterey this past August. Back in the late '60s and early '70s, I subconsciously put the 105 series Alfas and 911s in the same price/performance category. However, when the late '70s and early '80s Alfas evolved into the Alfetta Sedan and Alfetta GTV, their weight, size and (relative to the 105 series) complexity caused them to lose some of the endearing "lightness of being" that we find so appealing in our 914s. The 911 went upmarket and the Alfas' market competetor became the 924/944 series.
