sweet! can't wait to see more updates on the car-hint hint!

The only update I have is that my paint guy thinks he can get to it this fall, and nothing from the body guy at this point.

I need to find a good chrome shop to take all the chrome to.

Here's a Montreal that belongs to a guy I race boats with. It technically belongs to his family owned company. His dad bought it new. It's never been restored and has like 60k on the clock.

Here's a fun find. A guy in Sweden found this car bone dry, inside, sitting there since 1966. Has 39,000km on it, owners manual and logbook in the glove box.

Somebody put the wrong spark plugs in it, burned a valve, pulled the engine, parked it (?). It's completely original - paint, interior, old tires, cool steering wheel like Will's...

Has the big Swedish reflectors required on the back, the stick-on registration numbers, factory hardtop, mudflaps.

Maybe he was rallying it and burned a valve, who knows?

75s are cool.

So are GTV6s....



I think the black with tan leather was the best color combo for that car.

They are my second favorite. Next to the berlinetta or Giulia Ti.

The 75 is amazing. I want one real bad.

Cows are black too.

Rare and exotic red cows! Not often spotted in the wild.




Sophisticated burgundy cows are some of my favorite...some say "bourdeaux"...either way, pretty fancy cows..

For those of you looking for an epic project, and are willing to mortgage the house, I present a '56 Sprint Alleggerita Sprint Veloce.... When it comes to rare Alfa Sprints, this one wins.
