    Car arrives today! Frankenpine

    So, looks like I have found my car. Its an interesting one and a crazy hybrid of different sources from what I can tell, but comes with a fun history and from a nice couple. The car was owned by one couple since new (and in fact was where they had their first date.) Its a 1960 Sunbeam Alpine...

    http://buffalo.craigslist.org/car/782275702.html He's just asking $1500, and is including a vette 350 he was planning to drop in, and from email also includes a hardtop. If I was closer and could check it out for rust I'd probably go for it myself.

    s1 vs s2 for future mods

    So where's a good place to introduce yourself?

    Hey all. I'm new to working on cars, but getting more and more tempted to just dive in and looking at Sunbeam Alpines. This of course has my friends very amused given the amount of time (and coin) it can take working on cars. I'm curious how many folk there are in the Bay Area of Cali who...
