There's a really nice black Series I currently on Ebay that has been converted over to vintage racing specs. The guy wants an absolute mint for it, and if this is the car I think it is, he's probably just trying to get his money back. I'll bet everyone a dollar to a doughnut that this is the "all original" black Series I that came up on Ebay probably somewhere around two years ago. The car was from Virginia and it had a vintage VA plate on it. It was a real nice-looking all original time-capsule Series I and I think the guy had a "buy-it-now" price of somewhere around $17K on it. I saved pics of the car on my hard drive and today, when I saw the race car come on Ebay, I referred back to my saved pics of the time-capsule Series I. The owner did not restore the dash facia and it still has the exact same marks on it that the time-capsule SI had. It's got to be the same car. I've attached the pics of it that I saved so you could all see for yourselves.
Personally, I think it's a shame that the car got the "race car treatment." That means there's just one less unmolested Alpine in the world. However, for selfish reasons, I'd love to see him get his price since my Series I race car is also for sale for 1/3 the cost of his and is prepped every bit as properly. Anyway, check it out on Ebay...it's a gorgeous car.
Take care,
