1978 Alfa Romeo

We recently had a death in the family and I was asked to sell his collection of projects, of which this is the last.

I only know the info from the logbook, all I can say is that this car has sat in a dark, dirty factory for years.

If I'm honest, we were going to scrap it, the key is snapped in the ignition and the condition you can see from the pics.

I had a classic car dealer come up to look at another car (now gone) and he asked what info I had on the car, as said, I've just got the logbook info, when I told him it was a 1978 Alfasud TI 13.5l lt, he started to look at it.

He said the front wings always go, so that was not an issue, the rear arches were gone (again, normal) then said in its current condition was worth 1k, Alfa's were "Not his thing though"

We were obviously shocked, so the car is now up for sale at 1/2 the price the dealer said as I'd rather sell it on then wait for months for someone to pay what the dealer thinks it's worth.

I would say it's a massive project to bring the car back, but with the low miles on the engine, and all the parts it would certainly be a brilliant donor car if too much of a project to take on.
