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.

It is possible it is the same place. There were some signs on the front of this very long building that said 'Vsomething Racing"

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.
