For those of you who love a good car-found-in-a-field story, have I got the mother lode for you. It involves roughly 10 Alfa Romeos in rough shape, truth be told. But they’re in Texas and they’re calling out to you. Do you hear them? Do you hear them calling your name?

A reader named Tony wrote in, saying that with the purchase of some land, he also inherited about 10 Alfa Romeos. “They are sitting in a pasture, rusting away,” he said. “It would be nice to find an adoptive home. Otherwise, I need to scrap them for only $75 each.”

It would be nice indeed! I am filled with sadness at the idea of any Alfa heading for the scrapyard.

The cars are located in St. Hedwig, Texas, according to this listing (screenshotted below).

Again, I won’t lie to you about the condition of these Alfas. They look rusted, chewed out, weather-worn and probably play home to at least a few critters. It’d be a miracle if any of them could run because the chances are miniscule to none.

But maybe you’re the kind of person who can spin gold out of dirt. Maybe you have that magic touch and you’ve just been itching to try it out. I have much respect for you, because I don’t know what improvements I’d personally be able to make here.

Or! Maybe you have an automotive-themed art installation in mind that all has to do with old Alfa Romeos. The possibilities are endless. All you have to do is get yourself to Bexar County. Give yourself over to the siren song of an old Alfa.

Why The 2019 Subaru Forester May Be The Perfect Family Car
The redesigned-for- doesn’t top the charts at any one thing. But it does do a lot of things reasonably well, including serving as a capable, reasonably-priced family hauler. ( Subaru let me borrow a Subaru Forester Sport for a week, and dropped it off at my house with a...

Could $6,999 For This Amazingly Clean 1988 Ford Tempo AWD Be Music To Your Ears?
It is unlikely you will find a cleaner example of Ford’s ‘80s AWD sedan than today’s Tempo at any price. The question is, should you go looking at all? So I’ve decided that I desperately want one of those life-like infant dolls like the one in the new Apple...

At $6,950, Is This Burgundy 1990 Chevrolet Corvette Worth Breaking Out Some Green?
The ad for today’s Corvette says it’s been garage-kept all its life. That’s almost a shame since a car this clean needs to be seen. Let’s see if its price means it’ll find a new garage to call home. If you pull something out of the back of the...
