A buddy called this afternoon and told me he'd seen a GTV Alfa on a local hog lot. Dressed in my FINEST OD fatigue pants and a pullover shirt, I rattled over in Diesela to have a rekkie... Sure enuff, "Fly Yellow" "paintroller refinish" '74. Oscars bolted thru the front bumper, prerequisite oxidation from waterline down... sticker onna windshield from an estate sale. DID have Webers, oil two quarts low and nasty... car had obviously been sitting a long while. Nobody in the "trade" would've paid $1k for it. Only one guy at the pitch, he surfing the 'net on a laptop in the office. No intention of actually trying to sell the car: He followed me out like he was a six year old going to the dentist... walked away once I'd pulled the dipstick out. I think he was P.O.'d 'cause *he* couldn't FIND the bloody thing... After the quick once over I went in to ask him the money question. Before I could, he volunteered it was to be sent out for "restoration." I asked: "How much do you want for it BEFORE the restoration?" He: "$5,000" Me: "'k, thanks."
