Vintage Alfa Race Cars

I was at the Simeone Museum over the weekend and I was surprised how many vintage Alfas they had. All of them had significant race history and wins, between the Mille Miglia, Le Mans, Sebring and other famous races. I was in awe. For $12 to get in, this was a bargain of the year. Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures. I forgot my camera and only had my cell phone.

Without further adieu, here are some pictures of the Alfas as well as other cars that caught my eye. Click the picture for a larger view.



Signs on the wall



One of my favorite race cars of all time, the 917






One of two 1966 Ferrari 365p. Check out that crazy center drivers seating with seating for a passenger on either side




The original 1964 Cobra Daytona Coupe



1958 Ferrari Testa Rossa



1956 Jaguar D-Type



1955 Mercedes Gullwing - I love these things



Another 1955 Mercedes Gullwing - This car is on top of my "if I win the lottery" cars to buy list. - Did I mention I love these cars?

1953 Jaguar C-Type



1949 Alfa Romeo 8C 2500 Brixia - Looks are polorizing at best

The best part of the Daytona is its in the same condition it was in since 1970 including the paint from when Shelby repainted it and then sold it then it wound up in the hands of Phil Spector. The now owner removed the lettering on the door it used to have but 90% of it is still in the same condition. Here is some of the interesting history of this awesome machine.
