shoom Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hey all, I found this - I actually didn't realise they made a doco on these cars! The colours are a little washed out as it was an 80's home vcr taped recording by the looks, but it's worth a watch. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 Did you guys see that the Alfa is for sale. Opening day and already a $201K bid. Begs the question, if the 46 car went up for auction, what would that fetch? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-alfa-romeo-gtv-1750-10/?utm_source=dm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2023-01-23 2 Quote Link to comment
angliagt Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Cool stuff here! I think they should've left the Alfa with the damaged front end,from when he hit #46 at Laguna Seca. Quite a few years ago I went to the local library,& found the book "The Stainless Steel Carrot" - it was about Morton's early racing career with BRE. If you find a copy at a reasonable price - buy it!. 1 Quote Link to comment

I have an original found many years back and I believe I had it signed by Morton and others (I'll have to double check it). 2 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Substitute Datsun for '70 hemi Challenger convertible or Jackson Pollock painting. It's a commodity and an investment. It's not good for anything, can't be driven really because of the risk and not feasible anyway. It's an acquisition to be put safely away as it appreciates by someone with the resources but doesn't know a Datsun from their elbow. Or care. At least Leno drives some of them around. 2 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Vintage race cars have been having their day on the block. My friend sold his MGB racer last week for $75k - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1964-mg-mgb-44/ A historic RX3 just sold for $90k to Japan - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1976-mazda-rx-3/ A complete pile of shit Porsche 356 racer sold for $82 last week too - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1960-porsche-356b-roadster-20/ Values seem to be rising on vintage racers. But I feel they should be driven, not immortalized in a museum. I remember reading an article about Carrol Shelby's personal Cobra being inducted into the Smithsonian where is will enjoy a life of rest and never have to be driven again. I thought - what a shame. They just don't get it. 3 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 I'm vintage but my wife takes me out for a ride almost every weekend. 2 2 Quote Link to comment
angliagt Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I went to the Monterey Historics & it was really cool to watch the true racers out there on the track. Edited January 28, 2023 by angliagt 2 Quote Link to comment
