Wow! Great looking car: http://www.fantasyjunction.com/cars/1177-Alfa%20Romeo-2600%20Sprint%20by%20Bertone-2.6%20Litre%20Inline%206-Cylinder
+1. That's the way they should look. Definately underappreciated, but similarly difficult to move on once you are ready to do so. Wish I had one...
Try and replace it and you'll be in for more $$. If this is a car you want I think the price is fair.
Ditto. More and more I just would want a done car- no time for projects. 2600's are not roadburners but have charm and character to space.
Not quite as nice as the Fantasy Junction car... http://www.historics.co.uk/buying/online-catalogue/1976-alfa-romeo-2600-sprint-.aspx
It's all about the quality of the restoration, if it was done to a very high standard, without question.
Description describes a multiple concours winner...and shown at Meadowbrook which has very high standards. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yea, if it made Amelia it must be pretty good, but for that type of Money I would rather have a Maserati Mexico or a Rivolta GT, two other cars that competed for that market. The engines in the Maserati and Rivolta had 2-3 times the power of the Alfa.
I drove one at Bobcor in NJ when it was for sale-very pretty car, but they understeer like crazy. Cruiser rather than fun in the twisties. I bought a Bertone GTV instead. Should have bought the Sprint Speciale though . . .
Mexico and Rivolta were both V-8 cars...not quite contemporaries of the 2600. More likely the 3500 Maseratis and the Lancia Flaminias...which would still be at least double the asking price of this Sprint in comparable condition.
I saw this car in person and it is very nice. I hope 67 alloy can get that other special 2600 Sprint finished someday. These are good looking cars but heavy compared to the little Alfa Giulia coupes that were patterned from this car by Giugiaro. Tom Tanner/Ferrari Expo 2012-Chicago March 17th 2012
The U.K. car sold for about $35k USD with fees. I was told by a marque expert in the U.K. that this result was far less than expected... http://www.historics.co.uk/previous-auctions/18th-february-2012/1976-alfa-romeo-2600-sprint-.aspx
Here's another that just sold for $23,585. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190645400031&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 It looks pretty decent but the pictures show some rough areas on the rockers and doors and the auction description describes some work done there. Great color combo though. Image Unavailable, Please Login
