Re: [alfa] Atlanta Italian Car Day - 1959 Touring body Alfa something...

[Robert Pinkowski <bobpink@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 2000 iron block Spider truly was a beautiful car and probably one 
of the nicest classic cars at the show along with a couple of the 
Ferraris ('62 250 GTE & 275 GTB SWB). The car is owned by Mark 
Strohauer and this is his second one. It had been almost ten years 
since I had seen some of my old Alfa friends, but I can share the 
story Mark told me of how he acquired it. Know little of the history 
of these rare old cars.

The car as you saw it was all original except for the wire wheels and 
in fantastic condition. Mark told me that he traveled to Pennsylvania 
to look at this car about seven years ago when it was offered for 
sale, but the owner changed his mind when Mark got there. When Mark 
got back to Atlanta wrote the owner a nice letter thanking him for 
the opportunity to see the car at least and that if he ever did 
decide to sell it, to get back to him. The owner did and Mark has a 
very fine example of this particular Alfa.

Sold my '70 240Z to Tim Suddard and will be on the
lookout for a Giulietta Sprint next year.
