Yes Ham, Good eye. 69 Firebird. 400, 4sp, 3.23 posi, deluxe int. Way too much money invested in it. It's pretty much my baby and I feel about it the way most of you feel about your Alfas. My wife refers to it as "the love of my life". It's been through a lot with me. Engine fire, totaled in an accident, 3 engines, 4 paint jobs. There isn't much on the car that is original anymore but it still puts the biggest smile on my face everytime I get to take her out of the garage. Just wish gas was cheaper so I could drive her more.
The rust issues on the Alfa are not all that bad to someone that was a decent sheet metal guy. If it were a bird you could buy a replacement lower quarter and section it in, or a full trunk pan etc...but I don't know if that stuff is as available for the Alfas. Still it would have to be a labor of love to bring it back. I'm glad to see it go to someone that will give it the attention it deserves.
Robert
