Alfa discontinued the Alfetta GT in North America after the 1979 model year. In 1982 they started sending us the GTV6, essentially an Alfetta GT with a V6 instead of an I4.
There were a few visual differences between the Alfetta GT and the GTV6, too... The GTV6 had bigger taillights, a longer drip rail, lower body moulding, a bump on the hood and, most notably, a different dash with all the instruments in front of the driver.
The Alfetta GT carried on in other parts of the world, including Australia where this one is located. It was renamed the Alfetta GTV2.0.
Take a good look at this.. It has the GTV6 taillights, drip rail and body moulding. It retains the Alfetta GT's flat hood and dashboard. It's a sharp looking car. It would have made a nice "entry level" Alfa here in the US.

1965 Innocenti Spider - This is quite possibly the worst ad I've ever seen. "1965 innocenti spyder 1098cc austin engine 4 speed needs restored $1000"
No need to go to the ad now, you've just seen it all. One sentence, one picture and I've copied them both.
I wrote about an Innocenti Spyder back in February, 2009. You can find the post here.
These are really cool old cars. If the missing pieces are stashed somewhere else in the garage and if it's not too rusty (a BIG if), this car could be a bargain at $1000.00.

1989 Acura Legend Coupe - It's so nice to see an older Japanese car that hasn't been "customized". This is a one owner car with just 88,000 miles on it. It appears to be flawless.The V6 that came in this car was a gem. This one is mated to a 5 speed manual transmission.
I have to admit that I have a tough time accepting an Acura (or Lexus or Infinity) as a classic (except maybe for the NSX, I guess), but this is a classic, whether I accept that or not. 10 years from now, when these cars are selling for twice (or more) the price of this one, I'll kick myself for not buying one when they were cheap.
