Touche...I’m still chuckling.

Let’s see...it’s a Malaise Era car with monster overhangs passing as styling cues, the V8 didn’t have any oomph when it was new, no title status, no mileage given, and those pinstripes are gauche on such a big personal luxury car.  Plus it was shoved into a barn for decades...why?  ND.

Come on now. The 919 and its upright bluff front end is easily the ugliest of all Porsches. Basically most race cars from that era including F1 cars were fucking hideous.

1976, so there are far too many to choose from.

It’s both trying too hard and not enough. SUPER SHINY SEATS? Check. Couldn’t be bothered to vacuum the interior, or at least throw out the garbage behind the passenger seat? Nope! I feel like cocaine might have been involved at some point.

In other words, what’s the point of a car that is basically a 1.5 ton paperweight?:

My main gripe is that they made only sedan. It’s predecessor 159 was offered also wagon, I bought one new. And I would get giulia also, if there was a wagon, and no, Stelvio isn’t wagon and it’s much more expensive.

“But this was not an interior designed with Americans in mind.”

For some reason this car makes me think of a line from Cup of gold by John Steinbeck. “

Someone, for the love of all that’s holy, please save this Alfa. This is such a good vehicle overall and that Busso V6 is a gem. Normally, I don’t talk the talk and would instead be on a plane to buy this thing and save it. But I have way too many vehicles right now to even send a “best offer” text message to this…

I’m very much on the fence and I am normally totally biased on all things Alfa and literally watched this video a day or so.

In my experience, the people that have boxes of parts are those who work on the car themselves and know that the car will need something at some point.  Generally I find that most of them fix issues as they come up instead of leaving them.   If you don’t  have any parts for a car that is going to need work,  often…

The car appears to be in very good shape for an Alfa with this many miles.

This is the automotive equivalent of dating an incredibly attractive woman despite your friends telling you that she’s trouble. When things are going well, you’ll have a blast, but there WILL be times when your wallet lies empty and your hair falls out.

Tough call. Busso V6 isn’t actually all that difficult to work on, but impossible to cheap out on the parts, and some quality parts are unreasonably expensive. But then you get one of the best internal combustion engines ever made, so that’s a trade-off. I had three 164s in my life, and the timing belt woe is totally…

Pretty car, I have adjusted valves on a Ducati so this is nothing. Struts are straightforward, vacuum leaks are not. NP

Pretty car, I would rock it. Bought my BMW 850 for $2,800 ish and drove it for 4 + years

But in the end you’re still driving a Corolla.

NP and I want it. Let me explain, the Mondial 8, and especially the T is quite a misunderstood and underappreciated car.

as the current owner of a 1981 (FI 1.5L motor, overall couple hundred pounds heavier than this early one) I can preach to the magic in them.
