^^^ LS swap?

 ;D

In the Tatra?   :rofl2:

Yes, saw the 613 on BAT.  Very cool that it’s a Special, with the rectangular headlights and other goodies.  These had what’s been called a mid-rear engine, placed over the rear axle, with 4 cylinders in front and for behind it.  Note the starting bid: $613!

Love the look of that generation Alfa GTV.

That GTV is great and has the right engine, but wrong colour.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

It appears that it's been accidented possibly with air bag deployment?

How can I tell?  The Pebble Beach has special wood...Espresso.

Now look at the wood on the passenger dash.  That's not Espresso.  It doesn't match the rest of the car.  It would be VERY hard to find an Espresso wood panel....so they cheaped out and replaced it with regular.  IMO of course.

What do you think??

Can't say I've seen too many dark green ones around. Hey, this one is in Oalkville. I could go check it out for you Ron. The mileage is right in your sweet=spot too.

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

I want a 2006+.

And yea, that color is rare.  It's called "Midnight Pine Pearl".

Another Pebble Beach - this one with matching wood!

Except that's not a Pebble Beach....

They only did one color per year for each Pebble Beach.  For 2007, it was Tiger Eye Mica (that brown color).

Also...a tip off...the Pebble Beach has fender emblems.

I see what you mean about the wood. This is a fairly large dealer, so I bet if you ask they'll send you a Carproof for it. I'd suspect that you're right anyway, but the straight-on front shot does display very nice body gaps and headlights that are evenly faded/worn...so maybe not.

Odd why the wood was changed. though.  It's also changed around to the left of the GPS unit around the vent.

If you do, ask if they have the luggage.  It's supposed to come with matching, fitted luggage.
