With my 73 Super restoration/rebuild on the road to completion, it was time for my yearly visit to the motherland where my 73 and several other of my cars derived from. This year with the Euro so expensive against the dollar I told myself; there is NO WAY I am even going to look at another car, although a good friend did ask me to check out an Alfa he was interested in. The car he had me look at was discovered to be in rotten shape. While walking away from the junker I did spot an interesting car. It appeared to be a very early Super - not something you see every day in the States, so I just wanted to take a quick look. My few moments look turned into crawling all over it for an hour or so. There was much to like under the years of dirt and mess. It seemed original and had some but not a worrisome amount of rust. I've always liked how well made these early supers were made and had a pronounced attention to comfort and quality. The interior was in fantastic condition. Aside from an smell of oldness, inside was like a time capsule. I checked under each door and the metal was solid without any hint of rust. The doors shut perfectly with a "thunk" solid sound. The engine included the original fuel pump, generator and wires - things that would be changed with high milage.
As I looked, I kept telling myself; you don't need two Supers. The more I looked, the more her charms started to win me over. I suddenly found myself negotiating over price with the seller and came to a agreeable price!
Here she is, according to Marco at Alfa: AR 334108 originally corresponds to an Alfa Romeo Giulia Super (105.26), manufactured on the 8th September 1966 and sold on the 22nd September 1966 to Alfa Romeo Belgium.The body color is graphite grey, with leather skai interiors.
