Giulia GT (105) for scrap

[BHIGGINS2@domain.elided]

Yes, it is sad.  They are really, really rusty - floors, fender lips and 
rockers are GONE - they came from the rust belt up north somewhere and my 
guess is they were driven all winter long on salted roads.  Three Sprint GTs 
were purchased as a package.  2 parts cars and one very nice 1967 rolling 
shell.  The 67 shell is in the final body work stages of a bare metal 
respray.  The two parts car mechanicals and trim will make one good car out 
of the shell.

One car is ready to go to (1965 Sprint GT) the junk yard the other (1964 
Sprint GT) will be ready soon.  The owner of the cars would be THRILLED if 
someone wants what is left (stripped rolling chassis) both of us hate to 
think they will be crushed but they are really in bad shape.  Both are 
located in Galveston, Texas (my yard) you have to come get them.  I am not 
the owner - only the storage yard.

Point of no return? - email me and I'll send you a photo.

<< A few digests back, someone mentioned two Giulia GTs (64 and 67, if I
 recall) which are about to get scrapped due to their being in a state of
 economically beyond repair.
 Am I the only one who felt sad reading that? We will have more parts.
 Great...Wrong. We will have less Bertone Coupes around.
 Yeah, I know, there are such things as reason and logic (and bank managers)
 but as far as I am concerned, keeping my Alfa running properly is totally
 logical...
 A few blocks away from my home sits a poor GT Junior - complete, but also
 completely corroded. Still I would hate to see it scrapped; If I had the
 skill \ knowledge \ space \ wife agreement ( disregard the order), I would
 love to track down the owner and have it as a project car.
 My 72 GTV keeps me smiling everyday driving to work, but will never return
 the bills I keep paying to have it running properly.
 OK, enough with the blah, blah. My question is - What is the point of no
 return (restore)?
 When does a mass produced Guilia\lietta reach the state of being
 economically beyond repair? Dealing with mass production classic cars is
 never economical.
 Just thinking aloud.
