Since it’s this site’s self-appointed duty to catch as many affordable Alfettas as possible, and because enthusiasts in the snowier, colder parts of the country need all the help they can get to get their oddball car fix, featuring an Alfetta in Alberta is kind of a slam dunk. And that raises several questions – how long has this car lived there? And in spite of the lack of salt on roads – if that was still true back in the 1970s – how has this thing survived so long in anything but a dry western climate? Check out this 1975 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT for sale in Cochrane, AB with bidding currently at C$202.50 ($154 today), reserve not met and 5 days left to go.

October 29, 2015And Now For Something Completely Different – 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Comstock Wagon

Since a full custom body was largely off the agenda by this point, buyers with custom dreams were limited to sticker-and-wheel packages, lopping off the roof, or transforming coupes into pickups or shooting brakes. Wait, what was that last one? Check out this 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Comstock Wagon for sale for $2200 in Lynnwood, WA.
Due Alfetti – 1979 Alfa Romeo Sprint Veloce and 1977 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV
October 23, 2015In the name of keeping the faith alive, here’s another pair of Alfetta coupes. Wonderfully balanced, overlooked, blah blah blah… you’ve heard it all here before. As much as shiny paint isn’t a priority here, it’s fun to see how, after years and years of the Alfetta being a beater, a clean body and shiny paint do wonders to bring out the curves and creases in the body. And suddenly, your coupe turns from a little Datsun B210 that goes faster than it should into an unusual car featuring lines shared with some of the most famous 1970s exotics. Okay, a bit of hyperbole there, but you get the general idea. And here are a couple of attainable examples – first, let’s look at this 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT for sale for $3000 in Daly City, CA.
