Saw this on BAT. It's a '51 Alfa that has a Chevy 327. It was originally owned by Howard Hawks - the director who gave us the original Scarface film and many others...

It's for sale at a dealership for $55K. Is it worth that much? Who knows... But it is cool!

Cool car!

That's not just a dealership... it's Fantasy Junction! (The wall behind is distinctive.) Very nice folks. They're one of BritishRacecar.com's advertisers. Their website always has interesting cars listed, including - at the moment - this one: [www.britishracecar.com]
