Euro Alfa Romeo Purchase Adventure Part III: Modifications

We love that this car is a mix of preserved original and rally contender, but the high stance and skinny snow tires had to go. Before we even took delivery of the car, we had wheels, tires, and suspension parts en route from England. The finished product is the Sprint GT that we knew this car could be. Now we are ready to hit the Autobahn!

Please Be Real: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Project

This 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint is said to be complete and restorable according to its minimal Dutch language ad write-up. It's filthy with what are likely several decades of accumulated dust, but looks like it has reasonably straight and clean panels for a project Sprint at this price. The seller's listing calls it fully restored, which might mean that the rest of the description is also a myth. Find it here at LM Classic Cars in Genk, Belgium for $9,900 euros (~$13,390 today).

Near Cossie: Twin-Cam Swapped 1986 Merkur XR4Ti

This 1986 Merkur XR4Ti (chassis WF1BP80W0GM663281) is lucky the recipient of a full Ford Sierra RS Cosworth drivetrain swap, and although a bit rough around the edges, seems like it could prove a lot of unobtanium for what the seller's described as a four-figure reserve. An homologation special in the purest sense, Ford won the 1987 WTC Entrant's Championship with a Sierra Cosworth, but came second to Roberto Ravaglia in an M3 for the Driver's Cup by a single point - if it's cred you're after these cars have it. Find this one here on eBay in Barberton, Ohio with reserve not met.
