Holy smokes that's gorgeous! Are the straps across the fenders holding it together?! I guess that its one of these : Alfa Romeo Guilia Sprint Special

My. 02¢, buy it, make molds of the body, then make a miata based kit ASAP. I'll buy one, I promise.

Seriously, if anyone is local to this you'd be crazy to not buy it. With restored examples fetching those prices you should be able to sell off a few parts and get the $800 back. This car is 1 of 1400 produced.

I'm even willing to buy it if someone can pick it up and hold it/move it to a storage unit at my expense.

Contact the seller. Spinout007 or myself will facilitate the pick up and storage.

Greatly appreciated, I have sent him an email, I will let you know if I hear anything. It looks cruddy but complete, might not make a $100k car out of it but it would be the coolest beater ever ;)

In contact with seller, Mr Joshua would you be able to just verify the existence of the car if I put you in touch with him and if its real I'll pay him and we'll figure it out from there :)

Wife is gonna kill me.

Indeed it does, I love Alfas and this is a rare bird to be sure. Just hope I can do it justice if I get it. There will be a build thread to follow :) Wife has given the okey dokey.

It just gets better, turns out the car is actually over in the panhandle near my rental house. My buddy who manages the house is going to look at it and he has an empty garage at one of his rentals to store it. Crossing fingers!

Am I the only one that did a reverse image search on this?

I can't believe that is real, someone paid $40k for a pretty badly squished one on bring a trailer if I remember right.

If the ad is real, my guess is that the seller will figure out what he has before he sells it for $800.

That's why I want someone to put eyes on it before I send money. I have a guy headed there this morning.

This model was featured in '60's British TV series 'The Champions'. Pretty neat little machine.
