    Nice post there, BlackbirdM3. The 105 is one of the most aesthetically pleasing cars of all time.

      This car is extremely tempting, but in my opinion too many things are wrong with it to pay anywhere near that price.

        Its a track car, it looks pretty well set for its intended purpose. If you look at the market, just about any clean GTV is going for about $30k. The really perfect ones are $40k and up. Ugly rusty ones are $10K requiring $20K worth of repairs to make solid.

          Nice pics, Bird!

          Nope, that's a early, maybe 75 or 76 Alfetta sedan with a rear transaxle.

          This is an Alfasud. FWD. Flat 4 engine. Built in the south (Sud) of Italy as a political move to ease labor problems and unemployment.

            Yep. Then all the money you'd spend on top of that if you wanted to get it back to original.

              exactly, Its nice for what it is, but it looks like someone wanted a classy looking DD/drivers car. I wouldn't call it a race car just cause he threw some "furaze" bits onto it.

                    EDIT - found this info….

                    "Among the too many show-cars unveiled at the past Geneva Motor Show there was this “Alfa Romeo Diva”. The running prototype has been conceived and developed by Elasis, a high-ranking research and development centre based in Italy and owned by Fiat. (Elsais is the company that first developed and engineered the Common Rail fuel injection technology. The managing director of the company is Ing. Nevio di Giusto who has been Director of Design for the Fiat Auto group and subsequently was in charge of Engineering at Fiat Auto.)Diva was first exhibited on the Sbarro area, among several other cars built by the Italian genius and his teams. Indeed the Alfa Romeo Diva has been built by the international team of students attending Franco Sbarro’s Espera school of automotive design and construction located at Yverdon, Switzerland. The design came from the Centro Stile Alfa Romeo. There it certainly made an impression with its unique double-deck spoiler at the front, but did not shine as brightly as it deserved."

                          Some pics from the 2015 Sonoma Historics. Yes, they are mine.



                          I want another US spec '69 1750. I miss mine. I love it in black. This one belongs to John Norman.

                          And John's race car...


                          This car should need no introduction...
