\"rightside\"This is the kind of car you want to buy if you can’t find a similar condition original car.\u00a0 Car was\u00a0restored to a \u00a0straight, clean and functional condition then\u00a0driven.\u00a0\u00a0 Everything should fit together and work nicely since it takes a kind of fine-tuning that can only be done a little at a\u00a0 time\u00a0during \u00a0frequent use to get the most out of a mechanical restoration.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"top2\"Shut lines look great, trim all fits the car nicely and the top is in superb condition.\u00a0 I suspect this car is ‘Alfa’ red, but it looks almost burgundy in these pictures.\u00a0 I like the aggressive lowered stance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is the sellers complete description:\u00a0 “I have owned this car for 30 years, as well as 9 other Alfas along the way. It’s time to move on. This car was restored in 1985. It is a true Veloce with matching numbers (390549\/00121.01983). It is not a show car — many years and miles have passed since the restoration. From fifteen feet, you might think it is a show car, but closer inspection will highlight imperfections that have accrued with 51,000 miles of driving since the restoration. From a mechanical point of view, I would not hesitate to take this car on a 3,000 mile trip (I have done that). This car is driven locally at least once each week. For many years, I drove the 40 mile round trip to work on rural roads during the dry months of the year. I am uncertain of the total mileage this car has seen, since the speedometer was not functional when I purchased it. I’m asking $39k. PM me with your email address for more photos, and a more complete description.”<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"fun101\"There is nothing wrong back here, the brightwork is clean and bright, the tail light lenses are all red US market versions and it doesn’t have a dumb dual exhaust tip.\u00a0 I like the license plate, I wonder how they managed it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"enginefront1\"Engine compartment is as it should be for a driver having the correct carb\/airbox\/plenum set up and larger disk brake reservoir.\u00a0 I like the wrinkle finish cam cover, I will probably do the same on my Sprint engine.\u00a0 Nose dimple is nice and pronounced.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like these later 101 spiders and a 1965 1600 Veloce is the one to have (well, an AUSCA would be even better, but try finding one).\u00a0 I think Alfa realized that ‘Veloce’ was a big selling point in the USA because a lot more of their cars got the Veloce name plate starting in 1966 and in the US there were no ‘Normales’ anymore.\u00a0\u00a0 They probably would have called the Super a Veloce if they could have gotten away with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This car is in perfect \u00a0shape for use and is attractive enough to show and the price is right.\u00a0 I expect a deal is being made as I type this out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
