Lil' Alfa: 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT

The great Peter Egan once wrote a Side Glances column about how he and some friends used beer & pizza as a common measuring unit.  Twenty years ago, a friend and I used Alfa Romeo Alfettas as our common measuring unit.  We established that at that time, an Alfetta had the US Dollar equivalent of 1,000.  Then, when someone said they bought a new car for $25,000, we would exclaim "Wow, that's 25 Alfettas!".  The rising tide of classic car values has lifted even rusty, old Italian barchetta's and it seems to be time to come up with a new measuring unit.  Find this 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT for sale in Renton, WA for $13,000 via craigslist.
Tip from Fuel Truck.

Alfa Menagerie: Alfa Romeo Collection in Savannah, TN

What is the difference between a collector and hoarder?  What makes one group of cars a collection and another a menagerie?  Why would you let cool old cars rot outside for years until they are pretty much worthless for anything other than parts cars?  I don't have the answers, but this ad sure begs the questions.  Find this Alfa Romeo Collection for sale in  Savannah, TN for $1 (price on request) via craigslist.
