Alpine vintage racer

[volvoguys]

While following up on a parts lead yesterday, I came across this car. The owner was well-known, as he ran an import repair shop in Middletown PA for decades (mainly British cars) until he closed a few years ago. I recall seeing the car making the Hershey hill climb years ago. It has been stored inside and under a cover for quite a few years so the paint still presents nicely. The car has no VIN, only an oval body tag, so I don’t know what body it is. I didn’t dig too deeply but I suspect it may a Series II running a B395 1725 from a SV and it comes with a spare 1725 SV engine and all-sync gearbox. I don’t know much beyond this, its current running condition or his price. He’s located in the Hershey PA area.

I’m only passing information along so if you have interest, PM me and I’ll give you a phone number to contact him.

Also, check out my other thread about the huge ‘Brit parts stash he also has.

You might check the firewall for the VIN

The cowl had no holes on the right side where a VIN and SAL tag would have been for a S3-V, but did have the 4 holes on the left side for the early data/VIN. The oval body number was on the right side where they usually are for SI/SII. I briefly looked over the firewall for the stamped VIN but didn't see one. I didn't do a deep dive since I really didn't have interest in the car.
