For sale is a totally original, complete classic 'Big Alfa'. This car shows 43,575 ORIGINAL KILOMETERS on its odometer. It is a later, Series 1 car with front AND rear disc brakes. It has the original, correct wheels and hubcaps, including the spare, with 5 good Michelin 165-400 (the original brand and size) tires. Mechanically the car is completely in good working order, and has never been touched mechanically beyond tune-ups and oil changes. Because the car has been stored, it would be prudent for any buyer to change all of the fluids. Storage has been indoors in a high desert climate. All of the chrome and trim is present and in outstanding, original condition with the exception of some pitting on the top of the rear bumper and a small dent in the right rear bumper. The car is completely rust free EXCEPT for at the bottom of the outer door skins. I believe that the rust on the bottom outside of the doors is due to condensation which resulted from the fact that the car 'resided' in a coastal climate for a long time before it came to me. The paint is the original silver, is oxidized and powdery, and needs to be re-done properly. The body is completely straight, has never been hit. The ONLY damage is that which is pictured on the right rear bumper. The interior leather and headliner are the original, and in reasonable shape relative to their age. There is one split seam in the seat cushion of the driver's seat, and the carpet on the driver's side floor is missing. All of the glass is good. The rubber trunk floor mat is present. This car is an outstanding, original 'survivor' example of the European version of the updated (rear disc brakes) first series (which had various 'nicer' bits of finish hardware than the second series) of the last of the 'Big Alfas'. It richly deserves to go to a good home where it will be properly 'preserved' --and driven-- as a wonderful example of its kind. This car's body design was the first complete vehicle design by Georgetto Guigaro--he did this car during the early stages of his career, whilst working for Bertone, and before he started his own coachworks. The car's engine is the classical Alfa twin overhead cam, 2600 cc 'big six' (inline) design, with aluminium head and block. The transmission is an Alfa 5 speed manual. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more pictures. If you wish to talk to me about the car, please contact me through ebay e-mail and provide a name and phone number. The car is (and has been) in indoor storage in northwest Colorado, USA. The buyer will be responsible for all loading and shipping costs and arrangements, but I have a fully enclosed car-hauler trailer, and would deliver it anywhere in the continental USA, including to a container shipping port, for fair compensation. I am selling the car because I simply have too many ongoing projects, and do not anticipate being able to find the time to give it the attention and preservation it richly deserves in the near future. This car deserves better than I am able to give it at this point in time. Payment must be received by the seller as follows: $3,500 USD deposit payable via Paypal or wire within 48 hours of the end of the auction. NOTE that this requirement will require sending a second Paypal deposit installment of $1,500 in addition to the $2,000 shown in the basic listing of this car with 48 hours of the end of the auction. Enough additional funds to bring the total paid, inclusive of the previously paid deposit, to 2/3 of the final purchase price, payable via cash or bank check (drawn on a USA bank in USD), will be due within 7 days of the end of the auction. The remaining balance will be due in cash or bank check (drawn on a USA bank in USD) upon delivery to a shipper or to the buyer. Failure to deliver any of the payments as specified above will result in non-release of the car, voiding of the sale, forfeiture of all previously paid funds as a full settlement of unenumerated liquidated damages to the seller, relisting of the car on ebay, and in the filing of appropriate reports with ebay. Please do not waste your time or mine with questions or pointless, frivolous bids if you are not a seriously interested, financially qualified bidder who fully intends to follow through and complete the purchase of this fine car.
