Hello! PLEASE NOTE: Car is located on Long Island, ew York, orth West Nassau County. ALSO: I would like to make an impassioned plea to ward-off any of the following: Please think twice about inquiring if any of the following scenarios MIGHT BE you:
A) Have never owned a classic car, ave a casual interest, nd are considering something ‘just for fun’.B) Expect to buy a 50-year-old car and not invest a single dime in it.
C) Expect to buy a 50-year-old car for a ‘steal’, .e., ow-ball offer – don’t waste your time or mine.
D) Need to discuss with wife, usband, irlfriend, oyfriend – automatically disqualified!
E) Want to know if you can drive a 50-year old car from New York to California rather than have it shipped – you do the math – this is NOT a ground-up restoration, howroom immaculate car. Not my problem if you want to live dangerously.
Owning a vintage car is an exercise in patience, ove, edication and, o some extent, ash, o please take all of these things into consideration before considering this investment. Serious inquires only. I have no interest or time to listen to your plans, o review your grand scheme, et the back-story of what you’re going to do to get the car, our logistical manifestations, lots, cenarios, nd so forth. If you need to provide that much justification, hances are you don’t really want to own a vintage automobile.
WHAT DOES THIS CAR NEED: Nothing, ther than to be driven, hich I no longer have the time or interest to do! It's been garaged through the winter and not on a trickle charge, o battery will need a boost - I will have it ready to rock for any interested parties.
WHAT CAN THIS CAR USE?: A) New Paint B) New rag top (frame fine, ag top tired) C) Possibly NEW windshield - there is a small ‘bullet hole-size’ crack in glass – this is NOT a problem in NYS under a certain size, OWEVER, heck with your local state requirements about this. Replacement windshield glass is available, ut you’ll most likely need to replace assorted weather-stripping too, o the cost will be a few hundred dollars in parts alone. D) Reupholstered door panels – do-it-yourself, asy repair.
ABOUT THIS CAR: It has spent its life on Long Island, ew York.I am the third owner of this car, matching-numbers, tock Series IV Sunbeam Alpine by Rootes. I have owned this car since 1988. I have all service receipts, riginal owner’s manual & Sunbeam Alpine shop manual (a veritable encyclopedia of maintenance specs for this car)!

Original color was Moonstone white, he car was repainted by 2nd owner, o doubt. I even have the original - yes, he original - sales receipt for this car from 1965! Body is pretty clean - no crazy rust/dents - just some surface rust / cosmetic issues here and there - paint starting to flake on driver front fender for instance. Could use paint, ew rag top (old top and frame within) and some rubber moldings here and there. I have put more $ into this car than I could ever hope to reclaim (just $5k alone, n summer, 014), s it is not a Tiger, ut nonetheless it is very cool and needs a good home with a garage and someone who will love it and drive it! Email with questions, tc, nd I will do my best to provide as much info as possible. 65,391 original miles! Selling due to lack of time/energy/space/money to completely restore this classic as it should be. Heart-broken for sure, ut I'm at the point in my life where I need to let go of stuff, nd it's time to let go, owever tough the process! Serious inquires only please. Please send me your email or file sharing link (i.e. Dropbox) for a few dozen more Hi-Res pix including undercarriage! Rootes produced just under 20,000 Series IV's, o we're talking pretty rare here!
