I haven't see one of these driving around or at any of the thousand car show I have been to. It is a Alfa Romero Graduate. Just parked there.  Thats my Miata in the background. Looked it over. No rust, all parts there. Top is old but solid. Looked to be original paint except passenger rear quarter had been repaired. Are they a desired collector car?

I saw both an '82(!) Mustang GT (The Boss is Back!!) and an '83 Mustang convertible within about five miles of one another today.

Graduate is the base model. They are increasing in value, and rust free ones are scarce. It won't be rust free for long sitting on grasssad1983ish to 1987 with those bumpers.

I saw a GM EV1 today in the wild. This must be the one that was spotted abandoned in an Atlanta parking deck 2 years ago, then it disappeared. The cover was halfway removed, which is how I spotted it, but the parking deck attendant re-covered it after I stopped to chat about it. They knew it was electric but not much else.

With those Campagnolos, I think this would be just a Spider Veloce and not the Graduate package on the plain steel looking wheels if I recall correctly. I had an 87 and it was a fun little cheap car with syncros made of glass and horrible ergonomics but looked cute. I'm  a little crazy but if I were to do it over, I'd get one with DCOEs instead of the Bosch FI. These were $3500-$6000 for decent ones for a LONG time. Maybe they are more expensive now like everything else.

OP said Graduate, so it must have the label, but Grads did come on steelies. Lots of Veloce wheels were floating around cheap when the cars were new though, so many steelies got discarded from Graduates.

This is the second set of pictures of this type of car. A Manx (not the dune buggy) came to mind both times I saw these pictures. But could not find a topless version picture. The headlight area looks very similar.

Way cool. Who didn't like BA's van on the A-team!! The town I grew up in had one. Sat in the driveway for years til the house was sold.  Never came to mind to take a picture of it. :0(

At our little small town cruise-in yesterday.

MG B with 302 ford installed.  Very nicely done.  Jag independent rear suspension.  A visitor from Minnesota.

Just might surprise a few Miatas...

I had a 1G Talon this morning pass me on my drive to work.   It is not often I see any car older than my 97 Jetta.

No pictures, too hard to fumble with my phone when driving 15mph over the posted limit.  I mean, driving defensively at the posted speed limit in the safest manner possible.

Look how clean and svelte that looks compared to the bloat-wagon right behind it.  The bloated excess sneaks up on you.  I saw a HellcatChallenger lined up against a Buick GN and just couldn't get over how clean and trim the Buick looked by comparison.
