Alfettas in junkyards - rustiest Alfa EVAH!

poor thing must have been sitting under an acidic tree for years to get that kind of rot on a flat panel!

I think that is called "heavy patina"

You should grab the "GTV" vent panels - there is always a demand for those.
Definitely keep the Spica stuff too, if you can get it off.

What year/body sedan?

I didn't catch that, but if I can find time to go back this weekend I'll check all for VIN's and years.

Is there something you need for a sedan that's nice and moldy?

Ian

I'm forever on the hunt for black vinyl front door cards for a series 1 sedan. Even if not in great condition, I could maybe use them as a basis for remaking new ones. Thanks

I'll check, but they were likely to be Moldy. Series 1 = 75 or 76? Got a photo?

I'll check, don't hold your breath. I can't image they'd be in better shape than yours, minus the speakers. Personally I'd put speakers back or have some new ones made up.

The rest of your interior is sweet. I've considered using Alfetta coupe seats in the Berlina, I love how they look. I already have 3 stock Berlina seats in the garage! LOL!

Yeah, it's a long shot I know...

The coupe seats are just a temporary fix until I can redo the original seats. They're not so great for rear passengers, they take up a lot more room with their concave seat-backs. For the time being, they do the trick (though they're quite a bit lower then original - good thing for the driver's seat height adjustment lever). Front passengers complain the seat is too low - sucks to be them!

Wow, that would be quite a shock. Lucky for me I've never owned a new car, but I'd hate to see how some of my old cars ended up.

sfalfa, the driver's door panel was split in half. you literally touched it and it crumbled.

passenger was better but had a big hole in it from the speakers.

amazingly the seats look great! no rips/tears that i could see (still partially covered by sheepskins). it's a series 1.

i grabbed the shift knob, 2 door seals and the vent wing knobs which were in good shape. most everything else save the seats was in poor shape.

Sure that car had not been dragged out of the ocean? I've seen less rust on old ships and I've seen a few over the years.

Thanks for checking on that Arch.

Just sent PM.

Ian,

Any chance of having you grab the GTV vents for me?

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Rob,

I did grab the vents. I'll post a few pics and try to figure out what they're worth.

Thanks,
Ian

This is the most depressing thread I've ever read. I guess its performing a service, but it makes me sick to see the cars like this....

the front bumper on the yellow gt litteraly fell off ...the bolts hadnt failed the frame did

the sedan actualy had what looked like new perfect carpet..actualy that sedan was fairly solid except for the windshield surround..the tail lights even looked new u8nder the slimy moss

as for the 2 coupes....the tail lights didnt put up much of a fight and pretty well fell out for me

i grabbed a few shots with my phone ill have to toss up..looks like my phone ate em..GROWL...if you headed over to the other side of the yard you would have seen the RR yes a rolls silver spur+

all 3 cars were pretty well complete sitting up in the air with even there wheels still bolted on..bumper to bumper engine to transaxle..except the stuff that fell off LOL..certainly the worst rust ive ever seen on an alfa atleast
