I have perennially sought the Alpine of my dreams: no longer! I purchased
Chassis Number B395005973 LRX (color code 92), SAL 605316 from a local owner.
It is a rust bucket and is bent at both ends (looks like someone tried towing
it, ripped the bumpers off and it careened into something). The floor pans
are gone, well, actually beyond gone. But, it is just what the Doctor
ordered.
I am going to build a Super Pro ET Bracket Racer using this chassis. Most
of the hardware from the Alpine is not useable to me (but, I have a Tiger
and the
common pieces I am going to keep!) and so are up for sale to the highest
bidder.
What I have:
1) Alpine Elec Tach - condition unknown
2) Alpine Speedo (unit say about 44k miles) - condition unknown
3) Air vent boxes (those dodads that are rivited to the vent scuppers)
4) Rear end - will check ratio
5) Transmission
6) Engine - missing intake manifold, carbs, distributor - condition unknown
7) Oil cooler hoses - cooler is busted, one end rusted
8) Four very badly rusted wire wheels and hubs - only three knock off's
9) Speedo cable
10) Steering col, pitman arm, the cross shafts, but not steering arms
11) Dash - plastic (bakelite?)
12) Wiring harness
13) Radiator (actually looks pretty good, still had coolant in it!!)
I am keeping all switches, blower, soft top frame, windshield and frame,
rollup windows and regulators. Bidding will close on December 15th and
I will ship or help load between Christmas and whenever. If anyone has
any history on the Alpine, I would like to hear it (eg when was it mfg,
sold, where it fits in the total number of cars, etc.). Jeeze, I hope it
isn't "hot".
