I’ve been on the fence as I have too many cars and my Alfa hasn’t sold yet… on one hand I know getting it repainted will help people who want to see shiny, matching paint with no scratches but I also worry that spending $5k isn’t going to get me $5k more… and I don’t want to do a cheap job. This seems like such a good option but $2500 sounds so much better than $5k as far as taking a risk that doing all that work will actually increase the cars value so much. not sure what to do… I kinda want to keep the car but I really can’t and shouldn’t -
M10 Turbo car is working!... too well... Diff is toast so my cousin needs a new one. Is has the 5-speed so maybe a 3.9 or something taller. The car is a 1970. Ideally I can pick it up in Los Angeles or he can grab it in Central Cali, between Sacramento & Bakersfield. Thanks! -Simon -

My poor cousins never ending project is apparently missing something important. Mechanic is trying to tell him he needs a new transmission, please help if you have or know of one for sale. [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51687762573_29ce9be52b_o.jpg[/img] thanks -Simon

This will be high on my list if I end up with my cousins 2002. Adding this to my tracking. -
I began my conversation with the new owner before he has even taken delivery of vehicle so I think your skepticism of him isnt necessary. He is a BMW fan, like you and I. He currently has 2 Alpinas he is restoring and simply doesnt have space to keep it. That said, Im still hoping to get a set of eyes on it before I were to fork over the cash. Car is being delivered to the SF Bay Area and should be there next week.

I’ve actually been communicating with the winner about it because he wasn’t expecting his bid to win. I’ve wanted a Touring and told him if the timing was better I’d be a buyer. With the BaT fee and shipping I could still have it for his “cost” of under $20k. Am I crazy for considering this car? Also, totally unrelated (lol) anyone looking for a MR2 Spyder with a 2ZZ Motor and a 6-speed LSD?
-
Thoughts on the price it sold for? For a newbie, what are you guys seeing thats suspicious?

Great car, wish I didnt have to break my neck to look at the pics! -
There wasnt any real interest, so Im sure its still sitting in the same spot -
I watched that auction also. So many similarities but also a LOT of differences. I feel like apples to apples ~7500 sounds about right, but the redone Recaros, the 5speed and even the BBS wheels make me think that something around $10k might not be a bad asking price. I will probably run it by him and see what he thinks.
-
I hear ya Peter, I will talk to him a little more about price. It was my first time finally meeting him and I think I caught him off guard a bit. He also has a manual E24 633 that he said he would sell for around $2500! I didnt get a chance to see that one up close yet
-
Yup, they have definitely sold out... Oh well. Hopefully someone is interested in this here on the FAQ
-
“Quite a bit of rust” is probably an exaggeration considering it’s a California car and the extent of what “quite a bit of rust” means on a 2002... it’s not rust free and the spots under the windshield definitely show some, but I don’t recall seeing any in the fenders or rockers which would be the areas that would really scare me... anyways, BaT declined the car so unless someone here wants to take a look at it it looks like it will just be sitting still
-
Thank you, I hadnt gotten that far yet. Still waiting to see if they are willing to let me list it with a reserve. I dont know how the owner will feel about a no-reserve auction
-
OK, I think we are clear on the A/C... Common rust spots to take pics of besides the rear shock towers? I want to document this good to let the pics do the talking
-
He definitely doesnt want an E30, I had mine with me and he said it was too new haha Im not sure what he's looking to get, nor what is remotely fair. I dont think $5k will do it, and I think $10k might be pushing it for a 76, BUT it has a LOT of goodies and seems to be a solid runner. Like I said, it had been sitting for months before I asked him to fire it up. He put the key in and after pumping the gas pedal a few times it fired up. Im guessing he wants $10k if not more... no idea how accurate any of that is, especially since he thinks it costs $100k for a 914 with a 6 conversion (half that for a mint one)
-
They are blue, I need to get the car out and cleaned up so I can get good pics taken. Does the A/C look like a stock setup? I doubt it works, but it might be a complete setup
-
Im on Bring a Trailer daily now as my entertainment lol ... I know what works and what doesnt. My biggest issue would be getting the reserve to what he wants. Its a pretty nice car. I just dont know what one of these commands being a 76, but also having some choice mods, like the 5-speed, the Recaros and a desirable color. Thoughts?
-
I have an older neighbor who isnt too tech savvy and is thinking about selling this car. Why? Because its a '76 and we live in California. Its a solid car. Original Chamonix color, though it looks like its been partially resprayed, if not entirely. Interior has redone Recaros with matching rear seat. Factory A/C car ( looks factory anyways) and overall in decent condition. Its been sitting, but it fired up right away after the floats were full of fuel. Nice basketweave BBSs also. He didnt mention a price, because he didnt really seem like he had thought much about it, just said "it wont be cheap" but who knows what that actually means. I figured I would post it here to get an idea of what the FAQ can estimate it to be worth. I might have it go to BaT if they will accept it and he wants to deal with it. Id rather it goes to someone here, than to deal with that headache.

basically all its good for now... could turn it into two carBQs also?...

My friend is looking to build a VARA Racer and this seems like a great start, no?
