: Hey All,
: Drove up to have a look at the supposed Alpina...
: In my opinion... It isn't an Alpina car. It does
: have a few trick parts though... 16; wheels are
: a bit dirty but pretty good. BBS basket weave,
: gold centers, outer rim needs polishing. From
: what I could see under the car, it has some
: "beefy" sway bars, maybe 29mm... Front and rear.
: the Rear looks adjustable, but I was unable to
: find any alpina markings. (Limited view as the car
: is under a walnut tree and in some taller grass.)
: According to some on the CS list the parts should
: have casting of "alpina" on them... ???
Sean,
I don't think you would find any stamped Alpina markings on the swaybars etc.
I have not found any on my car. If they are really close to 28-29mm in front --that
is too large. On my car the bars are adjustable front and rear AND the ends are fitted
with heim joints --not rubber bushings or polyurathane. That might help you.
These bars could be suspension techniques as they are very beefy 27-28mm front and are painted BLUE.
: Interior is pretty shot. Engine is apart and
: looks bleak... rusted cam(w #4 stamping?), cracked
: head, and standard fuel injection(in the trunk :))
: All in all, it may have some good suspension
: parts, good rims, an Alpina Shift knob, and....
: it has THE RIGHT SIDE CHROME MIRROR!!! Sorry, I want
: that PART!!! Also, NO alpina tags anyywhere...
: I think that this guy WISHES it was Alpina....
: I'm gonna offer him 350, pay the towing
: and strip it for parts and then off to the scrap
: with the rest. Anyone interested??? Body panels
: seem good... If I don't get it I will let you know
: Happy New Year

: BTW: It also had a set of headers on it....
: I snapped a few pics... if you want I will post em...
