Does anyone recognize it? Or want to claim it?
It belongs to Omar Luna, a friend of mine. He has done a lot to it since I last saw it. He´s the guy in the picture.
It was put together with one of my kits about 11 years ago. It does look great though. I´m surprised he´s selling it, since his wife didn´t want him to sell it.

Looks like it was picked up on Bring a Trailer. The comments are somewhat off-putting - but I guess that's typical.

I was asked what I think of this Alpine by a couple of guys. My answer is, if I had the 10K, I would own it in a heart beat.
The Folks that posted negative comments on BAT, have no clue about anything. They just like to bloviate. There is no way, you could build this kind of Alpine for what he´s asking for it.

Sorry to read Omar is selling this. He let me drive it around the block several years ago when he was just getting it sorted out. Very peppy. The seats were comfortable but too high for me; might be OK if you're under 6'.

Some of the comments are interesting, such as :
"It’s a $10K Sunbeam, get over it. $10K isn’t buying much anymore these days. For the guy that wants a fun vintage car as a driver, this looks like a fun opportunity."
And how about this one:
"If a V8 swapped Alpine is an Alger, then i guess this is an “Alpri†or a “Alproncoâ€, depending on the donor?"

I just like to remember that every body on the internet is a professional at everything. Until they leave their keyboards, it'll separate builders from buyers. The people that are posting negative comments probably have never done half the work that went into that Alpine. They just buy a car, put some rims, intake, and have the exhaust done and figure they built their car from the ground up... Just upsets me to see people knock other peoples work for no reason.
