It's now on Craigslist.
You can find my original September, 2009, post about the car here.
The seller has now included a video of the car running. The car ran a lot better when I owned it (it looks like the carbs can use a rebuild now), but it still sounds as great as it did "back in the day".(As ususal, if you receive JaCG via e-mail you'll need to click here to see the video.)
Located in Charlotte, VT, click here to see the Craigslist ad.

It's fun to live in New England. Really.
This is the above Alfetta (yes, during my ownership) buried in snow. Now, before you condem me to Alfa hell for leaving an Alfetta in the snow, let me explain...My ex-significant other and I had a house in the mountains of Western Massachusetts. There's a saying here; "Don't like the weather? Just wait a minute. It'll change." It's true.
One March day back in the late 1980s it got up to around 45 - 50 degrees. The Alfetta had been sitting in the garage since early October, so with the roads dry and the temperatures balmy (for New England in March) I decided to take the Alfetta for a drive to "blast out the cobwebs".
All went well. It was a fun drive. The weather forecast called for rain that evening, so I decided to leave the car outside that night and let the rain wash off the dust that had accumulated on the car while it was in the garage. Good idea, right?
Wrong.
It did rain... in the lower lying area where the local TV station is located. It snowed up in the mountains where we lived. It snowed a lot. Four feet of the stuff.
I woke up to find the car buried in snow. Later, after 6 solid hours of digging and pushing, the car was back in the garage. I spent another couple of hours with towels and my significant other's hair dryer (which I burned out - gaining me no points or sympathy with her) drying it off. Lesson learned.
OK, feel free to condemn me to hell.
