Dammit Will! I thought we were getting an update on YOUR Sprint

lol. after a few weeks of no updates, it was like going through heroin withdrawals. its been so long now, I feel like I must have checked out of Betty ford.

every time someone posts something in this thread, I always have that little hope its Will throwing us a progress report.

I do have to say that the thread latefan posted a couple pages back about the gtv6 is pretty fucking awesome though. this is what I would do if I actually screwed up the courage to buy one of those.

Hahah, Yeah, I wish. Perhaps on Saturday I can go put some time in on it.

Can I repost this car?

I'm gonna repost this car....

[LateFan]

^^ Agreed. Such a nice shape, but without the brightwork it looks goofy - like the body shop never finished the reassembly. Wrong nose, hodgepodge body. Shallow Panasports don't fit this car IMO. Then low profile square tires and that huge tire gap. All wrong.

<EDIT> $40k... "Reserve not met"? Seriously?

That creation is FUGLY! A serious frankencar. The Vin says its a late production 750, the body says its a 101 made to look kinda like a 750. That interior is just horrendous. The dash gauges don't belong, and don't match the car well. Where did all the chrome and stainless go? It will be interesting to see what it goes for. I'm thinking >$30k.

"In 1967, Alfa Romeo introduced its first sports prototype race car, the Tipo 33. One year later, it won the 2.0-liter class at Daytona 24 Hours, and in 1977, it swept all eight rounds of the World Sportscar Championship."

Nice Petrolicious video with Derek Bell, and some good noises. Old Italian guy with white cowboy hat is hilarious.

Man, that is a dry dry place. Out in the desert? Good place for a race track I guess.

That is what my car looked like when it was new. The only difference being the centers of the seats are red as well. (WAY too much red.)
