6C2500 916587 ‘Freccia d’Oro’.<\/strong>\u00a0 Some cars come up for sale and you forget them the moment you look away -others stick with you, lingering in your mind like a pretty face from your Differential Equations class in college.\u00a0 For me, this car is one I’ve thought about occasionally since the first time I saw it about 10 years ago on eBay out of Southern California for about $20,000 (anyone remember exactly?).\u00a0 It sold through Fantasy Junction<\/a> in the last few months for just under $50,000 and is now offered by Autoclassic<\/a> in Italy.\u00a0 The eBay and FJ sales had it powered by a Chevy V8 (get over it), but Autoclassic seems to be selling it with a core 6C2500 engine and transmission.\u00a0 I have no idea what such an engine and transmission are worth -I would think quite a bit (anyone?) -but I have no doubt the price has nearly doubled.<\/p>\n

Stunning big car.\u00a0 These cars were built at a glacial pace.\u00a0 I think the paint was pretty far gone when it was on eBay -as was the interior.\u00a0 I am not a fan of the red wheels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wonder how visibility is out of that rear window.\u00a0 Trunk looks ample.\u00a0 I don’t mind the black bumpers -chrome might be too much.\u00a0 Beautiful shape.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trunk is so big it has a shelving unit.\u00a0 I guess the spare would come out on that trolly with the handles?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Interior is plush.\u00a0 I could do this -RHD and all.\u00a0 Even for a big car I bet it’s fast with the V8.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the bright side it will get driven a lot more with this engine -and a distributor cap is slightly cheaper for this than the Alfa engine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That said about the V8 -this is art right here.\u00a0 I bet they bought the car knowing they could do a serious value-add with this engine they had in the barn.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Transmission isn’t too cheap either.\u00a0 Oddly, I know where there’s one of these locally.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe it will find a home soon…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
