possible new toy....

[dashboardrunner]

ok so i might be gettin a new toy... actually a project car... not exactly sure what it is though.. my dad was goin through some guys barn about 20 miles from here and he said there was this older car sittin in the corner with a bunch of crap piled around it.. he kinda shuffled through it to see what kind of car it was and said he couldnt get to it very good... so he asked the guy.. its some older guy who told him it was an old italian roadster... my dad described it to me... said its got two seats, short rear deck, long a$$ hood and that its a convertible... it would need to be restored but my dad said the guy said that if we could get it out of there, we could have it... my question was, what is it? all my dad knew was that it was some older italian roadster... my dads more into older american muscle cars so doesnt really know the italians very well... the only thing i could think of was like an old ferrari or lambo or something... thats the only italians i could think of.. i could just have my sights set too high... thatd be freakin tight though.. i dunno, we'll see in a couple weeks... i'll go check it out and see whats up... but if ya'll know any other older italians, prolly like 60s or early 70s models, throw your opinion out there... i'm really curious and dont so much know what to search for on the net... thanks in advance..

fiat spyders or alfaromeo spyders are definantly worth it. If you can restore them properly you'll turn heads like an old ferrari, and though parts will be pricey and some what rare it won't be impossible like an old school ferrari.
