I didn't find much else the day that I found this but I figured this would be a good restoration project for the toy car contest!

Nice old Alfa there Larry. You get to restore the old toys for the car contest ? I never heard that before. Should hit the archives and read some more old threads. Shine her up buddy. Kevin

Thanks everyone, I'll bring it to work tomorrrow and drill the rivets out of it so I can clean the insides up and figure out what I'm gonn use for tires and axles, it should be an interesting project. I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to use original colors though. I'll just use some camera screws to put it back together in place of the old rivet heads, it should work good.
