53 Alpine +V6+auto
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. [www.gatewayclassiccars.com] Ivor |

That's one of the most incredible, elegant, builds I've ever seen.
He even modified the front suspension arms because they were ... ugly. Ivor Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/02/2021 05:12AM by 88v8. |

"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. Ken |
