Nice '66 Alpine on Craigslist...

Seems a pretty well done restoration. I differ with some of the non-originality, but it does look handsome.

Interesting choice of screen to body seal....

Yeah, I noticed that… and into the door as well!

Can’t say I’m a fan of the tan dash and crash pad, either. And the seats are waaay wrong, too. But on the whole, it looks like a fair amount of work went into it.

The flat-black top latches are interesting… makes me feel like I’m in a Miata, though.

I don't like the look of the rear gas line from the crossover. Looks like rubber with no clamps
in sight!

It's not bad, but I doubt it will bring that money.

The gas line is a proper metal tube with compression fittings. Its just covered with a loose rubber sleeve.

The gas line appears to be copper tubing with a rubber sleeve. Copper tubing is subject to work hardening and failure without warning. Not my cup of tea.

I note the hood does not seem right at the front.
Also the heater is not stock the deflector mounted on the tranny tunnel is series 1 or 2.

Sounds like the seller is kin to PT Barnum...

Should be tucked up , not hanging down.

I didn't really comment on my thoughts of the car given how much I find "not my cup of tea"...

The owner seems to have spent a lot of time colour coding things like trans mounts, brackets and miscellaneous stuff to the car rather than buying correct seals.. fittings etc...

I wonder what the ratio of deliberate personalisation to "fxkk it just use this" actually is given the fairly haphazard nature of the mods.

It's a lot of money for a car that is personalised seemingly without a consistent theme or style .. just "what I have that fits ... Or sort of fits " approach...

Value of personalizations..
Case in point...
Black GT Tiger sold several times...
Every time it was back to Dale or others becoming more stock at every twist and flip...
