Hi, Thanks to the gentlemen who helped me get signed on .
I have questions about the value of a 1963 alpine . this car is owned by a coworker and friend so i'm not looking to steal it . I don't have tons of money to throw away so I don't want to buy something for a whole lot more than its worth . I hadn't been interested in buying a alpine as I never saw one I was looking at vetts to restore and this popped up .If I decide not to buy I will help introduce it to the membership here . Here is the story
The couple buys a 1963 Alpine It is all redone to correct form . New chrome new rag top , has soft top . The car is apprased at 7500 in 2000 sometime after the motor is pulled sent to be rebuilt .the husband becomes ill during this time and passes .The engine in crate and car are still sitting in the garage . I'm told that there are lots of new /extra parts . This was the mans passion so she has held on to it till now . The above is what I understand from conversations we had I didn't ask much as she has a emotional connection to the car and I didn't want to be a a... . I know I will be taking a risk with the motor and hope everything is there . I have researched pricing and see running models in fair shape for 4500 to 6500 . I would find it interesting to do the research and put this back together correct to its period as it is quite rare to see one here . An added plus is my wife is a Englishmen and is all excited about the possibility of riding in a Alpine .She might not even complain about what I spend on my toys for a change . If you can suggest a fair price do so .If you have any suggestions about to look for or where to look for rust /bondo / leaks shoot . I'm at a loss with this brand . I'm going to look at it on sunday . Maybe I'll get some pics if its possible or the vin . Remember I want to be fair with a offer. I'm in S jersey if you are
nearby and interested in helping I can phone you if you are interested in helping or know of a service that I can pay to look at it with me Thanks for any suggestions in advance , Frank T
