A half-century's worth of one storied automaker's catalog plus a million bucks equals the most disciplined Jalopnik Million Dollar List(TM) we've seen so far (at least since the one that was nearly all 2005 models). It's a virtual garage full of Alfa Romeos, most from the 1960s, that soaks up today's million. The faultless purism is heartwarming, in an overly demonstrative southern European sort of way. [Thanks, Damian.]
I'll go for it just because I'm like that. Gimme the fleet of aging Alfa Romeos:
(all prices are approximate and/or from my fuzzy memory)
1. '64 TZ1 — $400,00
2. '62 2600 Sprint — $20,000 - $30,000
3. '59 Giulietta Sprint Veloce Zagato — $45,000 - $55,000
4. '64 Giulia TI Super — $20,000
5. '72 Junior Zagato 1600 — $15,000
6. '65 Giulia Sprint GTA — $50,000 - $80,000
7. '70 Montreal — $20,000
8. '64 Giulia SS — $20,000
9. '05 147 Autodelta GTA — $60,000
10. '86 Callaway Twin Turbo GTV6 — $15,000 - $25,000
11. '58 Giulietta Sprint Veloce — $20,000
12. '90 ES-30 (SZ) aka Il Monstro — $50,000
13. '67 Giulia Super — $10,000
14. '65 TZ2 (which soaks up the rest of the cash and I'm sure then
some)Of course is I had no $$ limit I'd take the Tipo 33 Stradale and the TZ-2 hands down.
