The '69 Alpine GT FOR SALE in Asheboro, NC is a very nice vehicle.
A recent visit to see my son gave me sometime to make a call on the person that has the car. His name is Richard Wells. We have a good discussion on the Alpine with him giving the details on its' history.
Can't remember all he said but, it was driven for a few years, then taken to a shop for repairs, the shop had it for a period of time, much longer than needed for the necessary repairs. The owner sent the shop the title (apparent;ly donated). The shop had it in and out of storage for another maybe 20 -25 years.
Then an estate auction, whereby Richard became the owner.
I checked the car over. It appears solid, I did not see any rust. Very clean. The original upholstery is in good condition. Richard has had some re-stitching done that is undetected except for a keen eye. I sat in the seats, the padding was good and comfortable.
He has the GT chrome pieces. Just never put back on the car.
The engine, 1725 with dual Stromberg, fired right up at a cold start. Ran very strong, sounded like a new engine. With very lower mileage of 39K the car will make some one very happy IMO.
Richard told me he had been to the Higgins Farm Car Meet the weekend before which is only a few miles from his home off Hwy 49 West of Asheboro. He said he drives it a every chance he gets, and it gains a lot of attention.
With emphasis on theundercarriage I suggested He provide the "pictures are worth a thousand words" means of letting others see his Alpine GT. He said he would send me some for posting. Here are a few,
