I don't want to give the wrong impression. THis was a real nice original decent car. THe things I pointed out are the things that separate this car from show cars. It's a driver, and it was presented as such, but it is a really nice driver, probably better than 90% or 95% of the Alfas that typically would show up at a local club event. If you've seen the pics on ebay, you get a pretty accurate impression of the car, other than a few minor things I mentioned in my original email. I would say that if you put $10k into a paint job and put the original carb/air cleaner on plus a little minor fiddling here and there, this car would win any local Alfa concours. Based on what restoration costs actually are, that's not a bad deal.
