'78 Alfa cleaned up and ready to be driven... and sold

The '78 Alfa Romeo Spider cleaned up nicely and sold very quickly to a new owner. A new top was fitted and the car thoroughly detailed from top to bottom.

1978 Alfa Romeo Spider

This totally cool '78 Alfa Romeo Spider is our latest acquisition. What was described as a "running car that needs work" turned out to be a terrific survivor. The Chocolate Brown paint is pure Seventies and the whole car is surprisingly original, with the exception of the wheels and a few other changes.

1985 Porsche 944

Anyone who keeps track of classic car prices knows that prices for classic Porsches have been trending sharply upward for some time now. The early 911 market in particular has seen explosive growth, taking the cars out of reach of enthusiasts on an average budget.

But that doesn't mean there aren't deals out there for other Porsche models. Prices for early 944s for example are still reasonable and you can easily pick up a decent example of one of the best handling cars ever made for less than $5,000. We just acquired this 1985 944 coupe with a 5-speed manual. Though it has some paint issues and needs a windshield- along with a laundry list of small needs- it runs and drives great and should clean up nicely.

Trailer Park E34 Cleaned Up... and sold!

The 525 was sold to a happy new owner...

The 1994 BMW 525i that was sitting in a trailer park with a flat tire, no gas and a dead battery has cleaned up nicely. We ditched the purple cold air intake for a factory airbox, tightened the loose spark plugs (which were causing a strange noise from the engine) and replaced the valve cover gasket. While it needs paint, the car benefited greatly from a good scrubbing and an uncracked rear bumper. The 17-inch AC Schnitzer wheels were bent and causing a bad vibration, so these were swapped for a set of 16x8.5-inch Mille Miglia 1000 wheels. A handful of interior and exterior parts were also installed to bring the BMW back to life.

TR4 is home

The '67 TR4 is in our hands. We haven't done much. We did manage to start the engine by pouring fuel down the fuel line into the carbs. It started instantly after sitting for who knows how many years and even settled down to a rough idle. Next up on the list is removing, flushing and restoring the tank, installing new fuel lines and maybe a new pump. After that, we have to source a rear differential to drive the car.
