it wasn't terrible, just need to have a car that's actually functional.

Yup, really not hard.

Step 0: take fun parts off, put stock parts on

Step 1: have it work like factory and appear like factory.

Step 2: pass smog and put the fun parts back on

Or, install parts and engines that are CARB/BAR certified so you don't have to play the car part shuffle.

screw you. the rest of us cant do shit to our cars here without jumping through all these BS hoops.


plz paint my dad's 74 Z. the cheapest quote he got was 15k

been sitting a year

PM me for the guy who did my roadster. I'd guess it would be $5k or so using good paint. (he likes Spies Hecker). I'm most likely going to have him do my Alfa when its ready. He is in Concord and has done several Zs and tons of Alfas, Fiats, a Rolls Royce, Audis ect.

Love that 2 tone!

[luna_edirty]

Thanks, definitely makes it stand out, yet subtle some how

Yo, I'm Marco too.

Some nice gentleman came and looked at my vert for sale today. Awesome guy and has a ton of cars. Has two or three e30's, wants my vert for his daughter, owns six 190e Cosworths, some other rare 190e car, some 60's Alfa Romeo, 100% original and functioning 1965 mustang fastback and so on. Guess him and his wife have been collecting for over 20 years.

[CarsonE30]

six 190e Cosworths

Fuckin hell.

[mbonanni]

I paused and gave him a crazy look, the guy just looked at me and smirked. Hoping he comes back to buy the vert so we can chat more.

[Danny]

Loliver answer me.

There's a 633CSI gray market car that I drive past every day and rarely see it moved. About a year ago, I put a note on the window with my number and all that and he said he wasn't interested in selling it, he has a lot of time into it and it was his wife's car before she passed. We got to talking about cars in general and hiding in his 5 car garage underground, he has an Alfa Spyder that's been freshly restored, an E Type, a 289 Shelby Cobra and a '64 Ferrari 330GT. Crazy thing is, my grandparents live 2 blocks away and my grandpa also owns a '64 330GT. They didn't know this and they've lived in the same house since 1972 and owned the cars since '79 and '84. So yeah. Some car stories are crazy.
