Hello all,
Think I'm getting back into Alfa's again after about a 15 year hiatus (after selling my '72 Berlina which I partially restored). Been car shopping for a friend who wanted a fun unique car and I immediately thought Alfa! He may be loosing interest but mine has sparked again!
I'm looking at a '79 Alfetta Veloce Coupe which seems to be well maintained (service records dating back till new), basically clean and unmolested (with low miles: 83,000), and appears to be virtually rust free. One of the unique things about the car is a factory body kit and lowered (which I haven't seen anywhere...course also makes me skeptical if it really is from factory even though it looks quite original). The car drives and handles great, appears just to need some minor cosmetic work (not to crazy about interior with bulky cloth seats etc...maybe something to upgrade)?
Anyway I don't know a lot about these cars (although very familiar with the 2.0 I-4 DOHC engine and I'm doing as much internet research as possible). If anyone has any advise or anything special you think I should consider before purchasing this car, I would love to hear from you. Oh and probably a little harder to determine but maybe how much you think a vehicle like this would be worth?
Look forward to any advise or comments,
Thanks,
Matt
