    New to me, absolute hoot to drive who doesn't love a classic Afla? Needs a bit of TLC on brakes/ steering and more poke in the engine, tuning in the engine. But canvassing opinion on the colour? What would you do if she was yours?

    I like the color, period correct, but I suppose you can never go wrong with a GTAm in red :) I would sort all mechanicals (if anything is needed), and then enjoy it. Congrats on the car! Looks great.

    this is aimed at all Alfisti knowledgeable in all things Alfa Romeo.
    What's the story behind the Alfa 2600? how many models were built?
    I see a Convertible with hard top on the market now for $275k, and also a 2600 Sprint Coupe 2 door for $65k. why so much discrepancy?
    thanks for any feedback.

    Thanks for all the responses and the colour has grown on me, which is a good job as I don't think I would have money left over after the open wallet surgery that will be upgrading engine and brakes. The final outcome will however be a very very quick ( in the right hands of course - probably not mine) track car.

    My appologies to Irvinest. I meant to start a new thread on the 2600 Alfa, but accidentaly put it here instead.

    I like the color as well, very period and very cool. As much as I love them in red - and I really love them in red - it's nice to see one in a different color for a change...

    Dave that is stunning, I spoke with them before this thread about that colour, they have had so many asking about the colour but it is one they have blended themselves through trial and error. I hope they have some in reserve if the owner ever has the misfortune to have a ding.

    The pictures show these cars look good in many colors. A bit like a pretty woman - she looks good in anything!

    The Alfaholics car is akin to what Singer has done with the 911. I think the build is stunning in its details and its "civility" - covered roll hoop, carpeting and air conditioning - that I am sure makes it a hoot to drive on the track and an event to drive to amd fro too.

    Good luck with your project. Lovely car.

    When you say a GTAm recreation. Does it have the guillotine throttles?
    What sort of motor does it have?
