back in the Alfa fold with a '79 Sport Sedan
Here are a couple pics of my recently purchased 1979 Sport Sedan. I bought it in Los Angeles and drove it home to Colorado. It was an ambitious (or crazy depending on your viewpoint) trip to make in a car that I hadn't seen before. I've owned 4 different transaxle Alfa' s (two very clean gtv6's now sold) and this one is in the worst shape of them all! But I was swayed by the rust free body (as you all know—not common for an Alfetta) and the spare AR Ricambi big valve head, block with high comp pistons, and twin dellortos. So I made it the 1000 or so miles with no real problems. A bit stressful though as the waterpump and transaxle showed a leak at all gas stops. The head gasket was leaking a bit too!! My buddy Scott was on standby with the trailer the whole time. Took about 22 hours.

Those wheels look great -- like a set of Marchesinis on a red Ducati. Very Italian!

My panasports are 15 X 7 with low profile Yokahama tires
and yes I do agree. They make the car look very nice.

Forgot to add, I actually did something similar with the Alfetta Sedan I ended up with during that time. A friend and I flew up to Oregon, drove up to Washington where I bought a cream colored 78...we drove it back to the Bay Area with only one small problem on the way home. The fuel filter was completely clogged and I had to change it on the side of highway 5, just north of Ashland, OR...in the pouring rain. THAT was fun

Ted, I bought the car from a guy named Wolf who lives in Arcadia, he said he's had the car about 15 years—I'm not sure if he lived in the Bay Area.
Yeah, changing fuel filters in the rain is fun... good you made it though. My car had been sitting for a few years so a fuel filter clog was definitely something I was worried about. I brought a couple extras for sure.

hmm, probably not the same car then...but looks very close to it. They PO had put a complete Milano interior and rear end in it. It also came with a nice spare engine...
Congrats on the new car.
Ted
