Equipment
2,650/700hp Alfa Romeo turbo V-8, 6-speed, documented with official timing sheets, USAC Indy 500 records and press kit.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Miller Genuine Draft livery. Unsuccessful (despite the wishes of Alfisti everywhere), and no documented race history except as inferred below. Driven by Al Unser at Indy to 13th place. Raced by Roberto Guerrero later in the season with no meaningful results. Aged, as-raced and tired but complete with an Alfa turbo V-8 and gearbox.
Market commentary
Sold by RM at its Duemila Route auction in Italy in 2016 for $100,864 (€95,200 at the time, this result is €95,600.) It is rough but still charismatic, particularly if the idea of a 700hp Alfa Romeo V-8 is intriguing. It will cost a fortune to return it to safe driving condition and is intrinsically expensive at this price although the two results eight years apart suggest it has continuing appeal.
