Re: GTV6 pricing

I'm going to take a little different tack on this --

First, having lived with another orphan ('74 Opel 1900 Sportwagen), if you
do not have an awfully good reason not to (and remember, second-guessing
Alfa engineers is a very trickey business) keep it stock -- it is hard
enough to replace stock parts, let alone someone's idea of "enhancements".

Second, you should find a decent car in the $1,000 to $3,000 range.  Body
and interior are important (very hard to actually fix rust, interiors hard
to come-by), while the mechanicals can be readily repaired and parts
(stock) are reasonably available.  Of course you can do better than those
numbers -- look for a car which needs something mechanical; know how much
it will cost <you> to repair it, and deal down by the cost of repair under
the cross and serpent from the roughly $3,000 blue-book.  The PO <needs>
to dump it.

Can't work on it yourself?  Don't buy an Alfa.  Maybe Gates can afford it.
