53 Alpine +V6+auto

[88v8]

A car one seldom sees even in stock form



A 53 Sunbeam Alpine

This minimally described but profusely photographed car has a GM4.3 V6 and 4L60E slushbox.
Clearly, it has been standing under a waterfall of money.
And time. Why would you spend all that love on a car and then sell it.



Almost too nice to drive. Although I'm not sure the two-tone really works. Anyway.....



It's good to see a job well done. Yours for around $46,000 in Kansas.

Haven't we seen that car at a V8 meet?

Jim, are you thinking of this special?

That's one of the most incredible, elegant, builds I've ever seen.
He even modified the front suspension arms because they were ... ugly.

That is the one I was thinking about.

"water fall of money"
I like that.
Amazing car, listed with an asking price.
I'm so used to viewing cars for sale these days on an auction basis, (BAT), this gives a different feeling.
