Alfa pix - 8
TZ or not TZ that is the question ... from TZ to shining TZ ...
Lame jokes aside, here's more great art & photos
Ed DeMayo's
gorgeous Alfa began life as a 1967 GTV then morphed into a GTA look-alike during restoration. We love it! Ed says the white 1962 Spider shown below
has a 1750 engine with Dell'orto's, and a 5 speed. He says: "My wife's favorite mods are SEAT HEATERS, temp/air controls mounted under the dash & a factory hard top."
Ed is also restoring a 1962 Giulietta Sprint Coupe that's getting a 2 liter motor.
Left: Here's Jesse DaSilva's 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider Quadrifoglio. Don't let the stock look fool you. Jesse writes that "we're modding it."
Whatever he's done, we think this is one fine Quad.
Below: Mike Charlsson e-mails this from Switzerland: "Because I finally got my Giulia Nuova Super 1300 on the street this summer, I think it's time to join ... and while the car may look like it did when leaving the factory in 1977, I have to admit that some parts are 'non originale'!"
Left: Aaron Wyeth, of Brisbane Australia,
has an Alfa 90 with enough mods to take up this entire page. He promises photos later.
This is his
'66 Sprint GT Veloce project car. It has a 1750 engine and dash and wasn't registered until late '68. "Guy I got it from has known the car for 25 years," writes Aaron, "and it has always been that way. Plus have registration documents back to 1980 with current 1750 engine number."
He says the car was stored under a house for 10 years. This sounds more like a basement find that a barn find, but whatever you call it, it looks like a winner.
Terry Rushbrook owns this sleek silver 1979 Spider Veloce and is restoring the 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce.
Larry Jones, of San Francisco and Viet Nam (No kidding!), recently sold the super green Super shown above. You may have seen it on the Alfaholics
for sale site. The car has a 1750 engine, Weber 45s, and a GTA clutch. He still has the other two Supers, but the TZ he once owned has moved on.
We thought it only fitting to end this page with a real TZ after beginning it with the Jerry Quinlisk TZ painting.
