This is a lot of money for an Alpine, although it might still be less that it would cost to restore one, if the work was done well: http://newyork.craigslist.org/fct/cto/4983867034.html

I agree that he is dreaming and can't imagine that he will get anywhere close to what he is asking. And, I have to question the integrity or at least competence of the seller when I see things like the steering wheel and hubs on a car listed as "totally restored". But, that said, if the interior, top and the body work have all been redone to to a high standard, I stand by my comment that "it might still be less that it would cost to restore one".
Down to $20,000 now. I was just looking at the photos and noticed the heater hose lying on the transmission tunnel. People have interesting definitions of "totally restored".

words don't mean anything. with just a few hours of work this would be a nice driver. Jim, I don't see your name on the united registration list. are you going to be there? we have a lot of SAOCA members that will be there. it will be the largest sunbeam meet in North America this year.

I have seen similar examples sell on e-bay recently for less than 10K.
Unfortunately, no. The 2nd is my wife's birthday. It is one of those big ones that ends in a "0" but I won't bust her by saying which one and, for some strange reason, spending it at the United wasn't her first choice. It does look like a great one and I'd be there under any other circumstances.

jim,
it's time to educate her on the importance of sunbeam meets for married couples. we have birthday parties, anniversary parties and a lot of good fun. she would enjoy being there. besides that Jill Jennings has a lot planned for the ladies if they don't want to stand around in the heat and talk cars. did I mention that a large mall is within sight of the hotel ?

jose,
a TE/AE united is not just a car club meet, it's a family reunion built around a car club meet. if you had attended as many uniteds as some of us have you would understand the "family" connection. we'll even have some third generations at this united. I know there are some that are making this their first united and I would say it won't be their last. the club president, treasurer, news letter editor and one of the board members are ladies. there are also several ladies involved in the planning of the united. we have a couple ladies setting up activities for the better halves that don't want to be in the heat at the track on sunday. Jill said something about antique shops. one lady has taught the art of beading at previous uniteds. as I said, this is not a male dominated car meet or beer fest but a family affair that is enjoyed by everyone in attendance.

There is no accounting for taste Bob, but for some reason my wife would rather spend her 60th birthday at the beach with her daughters and granddaughter than at a shopping mall in Dayton.
Kathy has attended many Invasions and Uniteds and at least one SUNI with me. I'll give her this one. Next time.
Hi Bob,
I understand your enthusiasm for this meet, but the lady has a special day and wants to spend it quietly with her loved ones. I personally have been to one united that was held in Charleston, SC and enjoyed it, but it isn´t everyones cup of tea.

Okay, then! How's about we get back on topic, Bob?
The Alpine in Connecticut ...... seems to be in good company. I see a MGB, MGT-C/D/F (?), and what appears to be the nose of an XKE. Hopefully these cars will have a more thorough and critical "restoration" than this Series V.
