A long time ago I had a '70 GT Jr and while it broke my wallet and my heart- I loved that car. Fanatstic brakes and handling. Even the smell was memorable.

I had a friend in the 70s who owned Alfas, and I always liked them. Your car looks great, but if it is blessed with that famed Alfa reliability, maybe it would serve better as a collector car.

Very Nice.
I have a customer/friend who has the most extensive alfa collection in the world. He loves these cars and has built many clones including a couple of copies of 1 off cars that crashed and he made copies of using original factory prints, from the ground up. I make engine parts including cylinders and pumps for these things quite often and they last forever. He had a racer similar to yours he lost all the water out of with 10 laps to go at LRP and still finished 2nd with an overheating engine. Surprisingly the engine suffered no damage by being pushed without coolant.
You should have a blast driving it.
