Nice car. It is dark blue with a black interior. Was for sale in
Pennsylvania last year for $8,500. This is the big fast back model. Engine
had blown up with only about 200 miles on it-it was a dealer's demo car. The
dealer couldn't get parts because of the dock strike and then Chrysler dropped
Sunbeams and dropped the dealers. It was stored for 30 years. The fellow
bought it, rebuilt the engine from parts in the trunk(!) and then was showing
and trying to sell it at British car shows for $8,500.
I would estimate that it is worth between $3 and $4K provided the guy can find
someone who wants a plain, single carb, cast iron head Alpine.

I have one Alpine with a fixed roof, so I'm not !
I also recall seeing an advert in Classic and Sports car around 10 years
a go for a NEW Series 5 that had been in a warehouse in Chicago - does
anyone know what happened to it ?
