Alfa Graveyard

I visited with a very nice gentleman that has been working on Alfa's for 40 years in Collegedale Tennessee. He is now retired and is spends his time with three 1920's american car restorations going on simutaniously. I took some photos of the Alfa's that rest in peace behind his shop. Let's have a moment of silence for these once fine cars.

What a shame. Is the first car shown a 102 (2000) or 106 (2600) Sprint?

The first car in the photos is a 2600 Sprint. I don't know the year. He was planning to take the 2600 to the dump soon, but I insisted he contact me before doing so. There may be good parts that can be harvested from the vehicle. It does have a motor and transmission but don't know the condition. My hope is that an Alfista can revive one of their cars with what's left of these cars.

The giulia spider was reported to have been "wrapped around a tree" but may also have some good parts. I couldn't get any closer than the photos show due to the thick underbrush.
