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.

This Might Be the Dumbest Thing I’ve Ever Heard a Car Dealer Say
This Might Be the Dumbest Thing I’ve Ever Heard a Car Dealer Say
Over the course of a year, I probably speak with a few thousand car dealers. And the truth is a lot of them are fine, but some of them will say things that are either flat out false, misinformed or are blatant lies. This whopper, regarding paying off loans early,...

At $8,200, Could This 2001 Mercedes SLK320 be a Hardtop Convertible That’s Hard to Beat?
At $8,200, Could This 2001 Mercedes SLK320 be a Hardtop Convertible That’s Hard to Beat?
Mercedes intended the SLK to be their Boxster and Z4 competitor, but the model initially fell short. Today’s V6-powered 320 attempts to address the inequities, but is its price still too wide a gulf? Do you all remember the old song by Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks—How Can I...

Strong Growth In Wagon Sales May be the Opening Salvo in the War on SUVs
Strong Growth In Wagon Sales May be the Opening Salvo in the War on SUVs
It’s difficult not to notice that large lumbering SUVs are hulking around in larger numbers than ever before. Americans have been ditching the sedan, hatchback, and wagon markets for larger crossovers with a “higher seating position” for quite a while now. Wagons are still a very small part of the...

Lately in the world of fast Chevrolets, it’s the long-awaited but still mysterious that’s captured everyone’s attention. While there’s still a ton we don’t know, it’s slated to be the true exotic-killer the ‘Vette was always meant to be. But where does that leave the current king of front-engine Corvettes—the...

At $17,900, Could You See Yourself Motoring Home in This 1975 GMC Glenbrook?
At $17,900, Could You See Yourself Motoring Home in This 1975 GMC Glenbrook?
GMC only ever made one motorhome, but as today’s Glenbrook proves, it was a doozy. Let’s see if this forward-thinking RV is presently priced to be a total blast from the past. Have you ever made a decision that you thought was prudent, perhaps even revelatory, only to find that...
