I’ve decided it’s time to sell my late ’67 Series V driver and get back to working on my original Alpine. Bought in 2014 I’ve worked on this car a bit, sorting some issues, and using as a fun driver. It is solid as rust goes but has some significant accident and abuse damage. However, the mechanicals are good shape. When I bought it the previous owner had the engine rebuilt (matching numbers) with many go fast parts. Including hi compression pistons, dual Dell'Orto carbs, a custom header, water cooled oil cooler, and 14” Panasport wheels. It has the later square spark plug holes. No brake booster and original brake master replaced with Wilwood 0.7” master. It runs well and after sorting a few niggling things has been a good enjoyable runner. The oil pressure is great, and the temperature stays good, no overheating issues. The top is in decent shape and has proven pretty good water protection wise, although not perfect. The window weather stripping fell out but can be reinstalled, with that it stays pretty dry when driving in the rain. Horn did (does) work but the horn ring has broken off of course. The top does have a few weird red stains that I can’t cleanup, not sure what it’s from. The tonneau cover is pretty sad.
There has been some obvious accident damage, notably the left driver side wing was splice and not done well. The angle is off and the left tire rubs during sharp left turns. The driver door is from an earlier series model (round corner). And the driver’s side front bumper bracket is welded on. Also, when the hot rod hood pins were installed, it looks like someone in its past cut the engine self to gain access for the nuts. It does have some pretty funky door panels and console cover, the carpet was a think black shag, I removed for pictures. Looks it like rolled right out of the 60’s early 70’s which I thought was actually interesting but will depend on your taste. The driver’s seat frame was broken but I have had that welded and installed a new rubber seat diaphragm and seat cushion; but I reinstalled the old cover. The seats are in good shape but could use new leather or some cover repair if desired.
In all it is a good, fun driver that runs strong. It would take much body work to be a show car, but it is a really good deal for a fun runabout to tinker on and enjoy driving.
Comes with an uninstalled AutoPower roll bar if desired, not sure how much protection it would provide or if it’s more for show.
Currently white, original color is Carnival Red #39.
Many pictures, a cold start video and warm start video in my Google photos album.

Asking $2499 (well below the go-fast parts cost alone). Will not part out.
Located in Chicago northwest suburbs.
