various Alfa derelicts in Phoenix, AZ
I was riding around yesterday in downtown Phoenix and came across these cars near 19th and McDowell. It is a shame about the little white coupe. There were a few other Alfa vehicles there in various stages of disassembly that did not make it into the attached photos. If someone would like I could probably go back next weekend and take some more photos.
I hope the attached files show up OK. This is the first time I have ever posted to this particular on-line forum.

So that's where Alfas go to die. Sad.

Is this the same shop that was selling all those Alfas? Lot of Alfas for Sale in Phoenix Arizona - 56K BEWARE, NOT DIAL UP FRIENDLY ?
Bytheway, welcome to the AlfaBB, Steve. Thanks for posting those. Do you own an Alfa yourself?

That is sad - I'm beginning to really like the early Alfetta GTs - and that 101 looks very sad indeed.

No, I don't. I have quite a few Jaguars, Jensen-Healeys, and a few Merkurs. I used to have a few BMW 1600-2002 cars years and years ago which I believe were direct competion for the Alfa GTV cars. I have always liked the looks of the GTV and a good friend has a nice black late model Alfa Spider.

That is definitely VSOP Racing. There have been various threads on the bb regarding the cars there. The owner posts here occasionally. I think they got rid of a lot of the cars when they moved to this location a year or so ago.

"various Alfa derelicts in Phoenix, AZ"
I had not bothered to review this thread because I assumed it contained photos of BB members.
