Two famous Italian car makers names together for one vehicle. You might be asking yourself when Fiat and Alfa come together to build a car. These two car makers were close competitors for most of the last century, including the period when this car was built, so the likelihood that they would have collaborated on making a stylish sports coupe was absolutely zero. But that didn’t stop some creative car guys from doing what those car makers would not, and the result is the car you see for sale here. It looks good but has some significant needs. If getting your hands dirty doesn’t bother you or if you’re just curious to see what has been done to this beautiful machine, find it here on eBay with less than two days left to run.

The car started out as a Fiat Ghia 1500GT but somewhere along the line it lost its original drivetrain. For those of you who aren’t bothered by something less than complete originality, or who maybe just want more power, there’s good news. There is now a modern, rebuilt Alfa Romeo 2 liter engine and 5-speed transmission installed. The bad news is that the installation isn’t complete and the car will need some significant work before it will be able to run under its own power.

The body looks good and is now painted in a deep blue color, which might be preferred by some buyers to the common resale red that many of these cars wear. There are lots of detailed photos that show a solid underside and an interior that is partly redone. The car will need some fabrication to be completed but the seller’s description seems honest and is detailed about what will need to be done. That curvy Ghia designed body looks attractive but would you be willing to run that non-original drivetrain? Or would the extra power of the built Alfa engine make it all worthwhile?
