Gang!
The blue Alfa pickup, seen at the San Diego National Convention, was built 
out of a Giulia Sedan. As I recall the bodywork was actually done by shop in 
Mexico. There was an article about this vehicle in the Alfa Owner a couple of 
years ago. Ed Geller and his pals were the last known owners to my knowledge. 
The p'up was a beautifully executed idea and I thought it was one of the 
neatest Alfas I had ever seen. It was also featured on the GTV-6 website for 
quite sometime, it might even still be there... (www.GTV-6.org) (Just as an 
aside, about 10-12 years ago a local BMW specialist took a 320i which had 
been hit hard in the rear and fabricated a working wrecker which he not only 
used but he featured in his business adds in the yellow pages...)  
The Alfetta p'up is NOT the same vehicle! From what I've been told by some 
local CA friends it is a piece of junk! Rusty, dented and with shoddy 
bodywork to cover accident damage. They tell me it wouldn't be worth the 
money except for parts. I've never really seen the Alfetta p'up but these 
people are all car types so I would be willing to take their word. In fact I 
was going to try and buy the Alfetta until they told me what it really looked 
like.
