I bought it in Santa Rosa. Up north (California), about 50 so miles from Frisco.

is $1045 door to door (open) to LA.
I used these guys to ship my white GTV down from Portland. You can pay $100 extra for them to keep your car on the top of the trailer. You can save $100 by having your seller deliver it to their terminal and by picking it up from the destination terminal yourself. Enclosed carrier service nearly doubles the cost.
It cost me around $500 but the car got down here in three days. Too bad my wife wasn't willing to let me go pick the car up myself. Can you say, "Go Greyhound and leave the driving to us"?
Incidentally, my friend took a bus up to pick up the '74 GTV in Santa Cruz and drove it back.

He sounded a little disappointed with the amount of work needed. But he's working on her and will be reselling it soon. He's a business man. He makes fun of guys like me that fall in love with their Alfas. After owning 30+ Alfa's he's lost his lust.

That's the thing, his good hands will be fixing her up and then he'll sell it for profit. Hopefully the next owner will cherish her. He laughs at sentimentalists (real word?) like me. Key word mental?

Poor Leola
You should have been mine if I didn't mess up the time... and my friends didn't ask me out for lunch. My friend and I were packing up for the drive to Santa Cruz when I found out I messed up the time. I wouldn't believe my eyes when I saw it was already closed @ $1825
Kai? How much work did your friend put into it? And how much is he willing to sell it at this moment?? Any picture?

Well less than five months later it looks like my friend is selling "Leola", with no mention of her previous history.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2416650469
Remember the $1825 deal he got? Well his auction is now up to $8500!! Told you he was good at turning a profit on Alfas. I'll bet the replaced parts will be up for auction within a few weeks.
I did forget to mention that this guy is good with his hands and probably did a good majority of the work himself.

I was looking at that auction and wondering - "Hmm... that car sure looks familiar..." 
Hopefully someday my GTV will look like that too. Someday

Hey Alfa Chan, if you want to see a 105 bodied coupe, just check out the general's 64 Giulia Sprint GT. It is totally mint. I should add some interior shots as I just redid the interior in the fall. New York has a revitalized chapter and we are really rolling. One of our guys just picked up a beautiful 1750 from the Cayman Islands!!!!!!!! In addition to being a beautifully restored car, the engine compartment is undoubtedly the nicest restored bay I have ever seen!!!!

Holy Crap! The auction ended at $9600!! I've never seen a '73 GTV go for that much on eBay.
