That’s just mean! Actually I have had a 69, 73 and 75 Alfa and they all have been pretty good. No major problems and much better than the reliability nightmares that modern VW’s and BMW’s seem to be......

0ption B, at 60% depreciation as I am pretty close to retirement and the depreciation is a lot of ITR laps, even a fair amount of world challenge laps.

Having owned a ‘75 alfetta sedan as the first car I bought with my own money (it looked like the below) in 1980, I would have considered a 2 liter or 2 liter alfa turbo until I read it didn’t have a stick.. I guess I will keep my ‘07 Si.

My brother had a red ‘63 V8. Sweet ride even with two auto speed transaxle. The car was and still is about the perfect size for a car.

Sitting outside the Legion at LaCrescent MN. It still smelled of jet fuel and it looked as if someone had landed it there, pulled the radio and nav unit and walked away. I looked up the tail number and it was an active Vietnam war bird. Kind of a sad end for a aircraft that survived a shooting war.

Here’s one of what are likely 100's of victims stories. This is on RoadraceAutoX

As far as I know this guy was doing these thefts all over the south for nearly a decade. He may have done 300, 400, 500? thefts including from my team. Probably far more than most thieves, he deserves it.

Restitution! This bastard hit my co-driver at Road Atlanta ARRC in about 2007, it ruined our weekend. He has been doing this for a long time. $100k theft, $200k?

Before commenting, please read Car Guys VS Bean Counters by Bob Lutz. Do that or work in a bean counter company and you will have a different take on what is wrong with a bean counter company.

Raced against it last year, surprisingly quick. I guess you can kill a GM 3.8 V6 afterall......

No they wouldn’t, however they would scare the crap out of any machine shop, tuner, or fabricator you do work with. Don’t believe me, try getting your cat converter cut off by an exhaust shop. 95% won’t do it.

Great read. thanks

What I liked about the 1750 Berline was it’s 5 speed and 4 wheel disks. I owned a red ‘69 1760 with euro cam and dual webbers 1750. I’ve never driven a 2002 so who knows.

Other X-11 pictures from the day. The bumper clips are for flat towing with another ‘84 X-11.

Alfa 1750 sedan of same era was better!

PS that trailer has junkyard GM X car hubs bolted to square tube frame. That way I had plenty of spare tires if I lost one towing. That trailer is now 26 years old and probably towed 100,000 miles with it. Bearings still as tight as new.

I thought the HP660 was an excellent engine. Never had a problem other than the oil pan related failures. Good question on the 135 HP. I can’t say. My race car certainly had more than that with real headers and worked on carb. I probably ran it to 6000+ every shift.

Don’t get me started on the GLH. I owned two Bought the first used w/o AC, then 2 years later I bought another used with AC and sold the first. Based on serial number the both wire likely built the same day.

I owned two; an ‘84 that was my street and tow car and an ‘81 that was a race car from ‘90 to ‘94. The tow car was bulletproof, with the only problem being the computer. Whenever it coded, I would pull the glovebox and rock the ROM chip to reset it. I could do it while driving!.

Did you say ‘81 Citation?
