Re: My sons 1st. Classic Car: `87 Alfa-Romeo Milan

Hi Folks,

Interesting chain of events!

As I had orig. mentioned. My sons "NOT" a car guy. His feelings are he`s driving an "Old" car & thats it.

He wants a 4x4 of somesort; Jeep etc etc (Go Figure).

So; I told him that if he does`nt like it; "I`M GOING TO SELL IT"!

So; Here I am considering selling the `87 Milano! I would be asking $3000 for her. She`s documented to death with service records from a very well recognized Alfa Mech. in NJ. Orig owners handbook. Orig. service manual etc etc. You get the picture.

Hey Doc, You probably know the Mech. His name is "Sal" in Boonton. He was really disappointed when I told him my friend sold me the car cause he could`nt understand why he was`nt asked if he wanted it.

So; comes Mon. I`m going to ask him if he wants her or not?

Whomever may have an interest; Please PM me or email to: toysrus@ptd.net for pics etc.

Thanx and Regards,

Russ

PS: Who out there relatively locally has a 4x4 For Sale Inexpensively?

I went to a christmas party at my friend's shop where these two beauties stood parked.

A little more exciting than a 4x4. imo

Hi There Golden Swan,

Pretty Neat Cars!

I can`t get over how well they handle! You can power into a turn & not even think twice about it.

I thought the E-Types I had handled well but I have "NOT" driven anything that handles as well as this Alfa Milano in stock form!

The Engine sound itself causes you to think "Speed"!!

Regards, Russ

PS: Perhaps someone out your neck of the woods is int. in buying (Stealing) my Milano for $3K??

Hi Folks,

I was just reading some comments here & noticed something wrong!

She will sell for $4000 & worth every penny; Not $3000.

Sorry about that.

Russ

PS: Details on the Alfa are posted here in the Classifieds under "Other British Cars":

Howdy Folks,

Here we are (1-22-09) & I still have the Alfa!

There are over 200 viewers here but again (No Surprise), No takers.

There was a local guy who wanted to see the car but never showed.

I`ve been driving her around (Sparingly) with For Sale signs on her & I get a bunch of int. parties except everyone says: "BOY, I SURE WISH I HAD THE MONEY TO BUY HER"!

So; Today (1-22-09); I`m going to put her on ebay.

The ebay listing # will be: 250361466998: The auction begins 12:00pm PST (3:00pm EST)?

Someone will be getting "One Sweet Ride" for next to nothing!

A car is only "ORIGINAL" once!

Regards, Russ

We`ll see what happens over the weekend.

Sure wish you could bid. It really is a "Steal" for the $$$: My Reserve is set at $3000.00:

Thanx, Russ
