1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Restored by SCCA Racing Legend Albert Leake
Visit https://www.leftcoastclassics.com/ to see this 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider from Left Coast Classics in Sonoma California.
This is a wonderful opportunity for a capable Alfa enthusiast to own this lovely, iconic no-expense-spared Giulietta Spider.
SCCA racing legend and Alfa aficionado Albert Leake spent eight years restoring this iconic Alfa for its current owner. Additional work was done by Jim Cestarollo, owner of Alfa Man in Novato, California, to create this amazing one-off, very special Giulietta. It has traveled just over 2,000 miles since its completion a few years ago and is kept covered in its climate-controlled garage.
The interior of this incredible 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider for sale is finished in beautiful, full Marrone Cuoio Leather with classic lap belts, crystal clear, working gauges, high-end rugs complemented with classic Alfa Romeo rubber mats, and a Nardi Torino 3-spoke alloy/wooden steering wheel. The proper "radio delete" faceplate is present. It is truly comfortable, a respectful upgrade that its new lucky owner will appreciate. The trunk has been refinished as well and includes a rubber mat, jack & spare.
The body was stripped to bare metal and treated to a stunning Dutch Blue finish. The panels are laser straight, and the fitment is exacting. The chrome and trim were restored, and new lenses & rubber were installed all around. It has a beautiful chrome roll bar that was custom built to facilitate a driver's side headrest and a custom canvas tonneau cover made to fit perfectly. The car does not have a top. The fitment & finish were beautifully executed. In the video, I walk around the lower part of the car with the magnet, and it grabs everywhere I put it. The undercarriage is tidy, clean, straight & solid.
The mechanicals of the car provides an exhilarating experience with its more modern, rebuilt 2-Litre engine mated to a 5-speed transmission. It includes custom engine mounts, custom Imasai exhaust system & air induction, rebuilt carburetion, beautiful suspension throughout with Koni shocks, and front disc brakes. It rides on Panasport rims wrapped in brand new Pirelli P4 185/60-15s, making the power, shifting, and overall handling of this Alfa are second to none!

Jump in and Drive This 1939 Dodge Club Coupe Hotrod
Visit https://www.leftcoastclassics.com/ to see this 1939 Dodge Club Coupe from Left Coast Classics in Sonoma California.
Beautifully built 1939 Dodge Club Coupe Hotrod for sale. This special old Dodge was purchased by its current owners years ago as a stock, solid and complete driver for his wife to buzz around town in. Her husband couldn't help himself and embarked upon what turned out to be the professional, well-executed build you see here today. This beautiful restoration occurred between 2006-2012 and has traveled just over 12k miles since its completion. It includes both keys and remotes, a plethora of documentation and receipts, and photos during the build.
The exterior was beautifully restored. It was fully disassembled, stripped to bare metal, properly prepped and beautifully painted using Dupont chroma base paint, and finished in a blue/green factory, modern Chrysler color. The glass is in great shape all around, and all of the chrome, trim, rubber, and other pieces were either restored or replaced when reassembling. The fitment of the body panels and trim was well-executed, giving the car an attractive, high-quality presence. The doors open easily by remote-controlled actuators. It rides on apple green steel rims with baby moons wrapped in Coker wide whitewall tires; 195/75 R15's upfront and 235/70 R15 in the rear. The color, quality, stance all add up to make it one of the best looking '39 Dodge Coupe out there!
The mechanical aspects of the car were carefully planned and executed to ensure a fantastic, modern driving experience and maximum reliability, and a ton of power. While I don't know the actual horsepower, I can safely say THIS CAR IS FAST! It is powered by a 325ci Dodge Hemi bored .80 over with Hot Heads cam, Offenhauser intake with dual 4-barrel Weber carburetors fed by a Holley electric racing fuel pump. Shifting is tight and modern with a reliable 700-R4 Transmission and B&M shifter connecting to a 10-bolt 355 positraction rear end.
It has a wonderful sounding growl with coated Sanderson headers and Hooker Aero Chamber dual exhaust. Handling is tight with its Mustang IFS front-end, front and rear sway bars, and power steering. Braking is quick with its Wilwood power braking with front disc brakes. It has Ron Francis wiring throughout, along with a reliable Hunt Ignition system. It is a wonderful driving rod, easy to drive, and ready to go.
Inside it has the modern comforts we all enjoy in our newer cars. Vintage Air Conditioning and Heating System, power seats, electric wipers, great sounding stereo mounted in the custom center console, power windows, and door locks, easily accessible remote cable trunk release, Flaming River tilt chrome steering column with a very comfortable leather-wrapped banjo wheel.
The ergonomics in this car were carefully planned to ensure long trips would be relaxing and enjoyable.

1975 Pontiac Firebird TransAm **Undercover FBI Getaway Car**
Visit https://www.leftcoastclassics.com/ to see this 1975 Pontiac Firebird TransAm from Left Coast Classics in Sonoma California.
This is an excellent opportunity to own a beautiful TransAm, a California car with a short owner's list and a great story!
1975 Pontiac Firebird TransAm for sale. This California car was purchased from its original owner in 1984 by an undercover FBI agent who modified the vehicle to use as a surveillance and getaway car. He owned it the rest of his life; then, it was sold to a collector friend a couple of years ago.
This example was delivered new, finished in white with its black interior. It came equipped with a 400ci engine and a 350 automatic transmission. The FBI owner wanted more speed and performance, so in 1992 at 84k miles, he bought a 455 block and had it built to high output super duty specifications. It has a high-output block, Edelbrock aluminum heads, Edelbrock aluminum intake, high-output cast-iron d-port exhaust manifolds, and a 10-bolt positraction rear end.
This engine has since been rebuilt and now has around 38k miles on it. He also made many other upgrades, as well as the suspension. It starts, runs, drives, and performs beautifully with insane power, tight suspension, perfect shifting, and excellent brakes. It currently shows 95,058 miles and has turned once. Its longtime owner took meticulous care of this unique car, kept excruciatingly detailed notes, all included along with both sets of keys.
The inside is primarily original yet tidy. It has nice carpet, dash, panels, and cards. The passenger seat has a split that has been taped. Interior items are in good working order, including gauges, odometer, voltmeter, fuel gauge, water temperature, and oil pressure. The horn and clock do not work. The stereo is in good working order, power windows move up and down with ease, and all lighting works properly, including the blinkers. The trunk is rust-free with good inner rear quarter panels; it has insulation though the factory trunk mat is not present. The jack is not shown but will be included with the car.
The exterior was repainted by the second owner many years ago in Dupont Imron and shows well. The car was garaged and detailed regularly and has held up nicely. There is no rust in the body, and the floors and inner/outer rockers, along with the frame, are in excellent shape. It rides on 15-inch Rally wheels with BF Goodrich radial TA P225 60 R15's all around. Tires are a bit aged but appear relatively soft with plenty of tread life.

Classic VW Beetle Convertible "Early-Style" Build!
Immaculate, beautifully built custom Volkswagen Beetle Convertible from Left Coast Classics. See more: https://www.leftcoastclassics.com/1964-vw-beetle-convertible/
This example was built in late 1965 for the 1966 model year. The builder was a collector who wanted his bug to appear as a pre-1965 early car and he did a magnificent job achieving that "early look". The early decklid, wheels, heater controls and many other small details make it virtually indistinguishable from other early cars out there. This car is titled as a 1965, indicating it was likely sold prior to the end of the year it was built. The bulkhead stamp and data tags match the clear California title.
This high-quality build was performed between 2011-2013. Once completed, it spent most of its time indoors on display until sold in 2019. This example is finished in desirable Sea Blue with two-tone Steel gray and Pearl white upholstery and classic basketweave carpeting. It includes two books of receipts from restoration.
The body is razor straight and 100% rust-free throughout, with no evidence that the car has been in a collision and perfect front and rear aprons and spare tire well. The Sea Blue paint is smooth and glossy. It was stripped to bare metal, repainted, then wet sanded and polished to a high sheen. The fender, door, hood, and decklid fitment are excellent. The chrome, trim, glass still look virtually new, along with lenses and rubber. It has a beautiful, top-quality blue Stayfast canvas top that opens and closes with ease.
It was restored using proper padding, a complete new headliner, and the top frame was fully restored and powder-coated, and a new glass rear window was installed. The color-keyed painted rims wear proper stainless trim rings and Coker Classic wide whitewalls on modern radial tires for much-improved handling. In the video, I take you around the lower area of the car with a weak magnet that grabs every surface I put it to effortlessly. The underside is also impressive, nicely finished with no rust anywhere, beautiful floors, tabs in place, and solid jack-points. It is genuinely a great-looking bug from top to bottom, with great attention paid to the details.
Inside is lovely with classic factory-style reproduction materials used throughout; two-tone Steel Gray and Pearl White upholstery and traditional authentic German basketweave carpeting with ample insulation added throughout. There is no sign of previous paint visible anywhere; it even looks new under the dash. The gauges are clear and crisp, the bezels, trim, and switches all look either new or restored. The doors shut tight and properly, and all of the windows move up and down smoothly.
To ensure reliability, Every mechanical component has been rebuilt or replaced. It has a brand new 1641cc motor built using all-new, high-quality parts, including new engine tins and installed only 400 miles ago. Shifting is spot on with its rebuilt transmission, new brake system, new front end and shocks, new wheel bearings, fuel system soft lines, battery, starter, steering box, and suspension. In addition, the electrical system has been upgraded to 12 volts.
What an excellent opportunity to get a beautifully built classic Beetle at a fantastic price that is ready to enjoy right away. Ships from Sonoma, California, with a clear title ready to go. Be sure to check out all 350+ photos and the video at www.leftcoastclassics.com.
