Hello! I purchased this car with intent to restore it. When I got it home and looked under the vehicle, I noticed lots of frame rust, and noticed that the driver side frame was rotted through entirely. The passenger side also looks very close to the frame rotting through also In front the rear wheels where the body meets the frame, it also appears to have major rot and rust. The floor board seems to have rotted through along with the area where the spare tire sits. At that point I decided this project has exceeded my level of knowledge to restore vehicle in this condition. The vehicle is not safe to drive in this condition. Another reason I decided to sell was the the fact that it has a lost title and does not run at this time. I also do not have any last registration documents for this vehicle. The previous owner explained the vehicle was running approximately five years ago and the mileage is accurate. The car was sitting in a field next to a barn for many years. I have nothing to confirm this information. The canvas top is completely gone I personally do not know if this car is restorer-able. If I were to keep the vehicle, I would use it as a great parts car to keep another Alfa up and running. But, maybe someone else could find some use with this car. This car is being sold as, where is, with no title and no warranty of an kind. Update (8/30/14), I attached a battery to the terminals and found that the turn signals and brake lights turn on. The head lights and also the dash lights. I also tried to turn the car over and it wanted to start, but I didn't want to give it a full crank as it has old gas and oil. I didn't want to damage anything, but I thought this was a great sign. For any questions please email. Thank you. The title is listed as salvage because I do not have it.
