So, I’m no Alfisti, but a SoCal dilettante with a much greater knowledge of Italian films than cars. (I teach.) I had a spider back in the 80’s and ran it hard until someone ran me off the road. I'm looking to get back in the game. I’ve long wanted a GT 65-74 and I've always admired the GTV 2000 in particular – and apparently so does everyone else. Sheesh, they aren't cheap. I’m looking for a driver that I can run up the PCH occasionally. Doesn’t have to be perfect; I’m not loaded and am willing to do some work.
So, questions: Other than books, what’s the best way to get up to speed on Alfa GTVs? Hang out at a shop? Autoshows? Is there some simpler way to evaluate the actual value of these Alfas for sale other than years of intimate study, spreadsheets and a mechanic in your pocket? And why is Craiglist so **** dicey?
Any thoughts on
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/car/436441975.html
or
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/car/434493545.html ? (Now, I thought I saw this one before.)
And is it copacetic to ask for evaluations on these boards?
What are the good websites to watch, beyond this one and Hemmings? But most importantly, can 6’4” man drive a GTV in the first place? Damned if I’m going to try.
Really, I just wanted to say hello and not just lurk around the boards. Thanks so much.
