Looking to either work on a classic or give yourself a lot of headaches while also watching your money slip away at a high rate of speed? Well, have we got the used car for -- a 1984 Alfa Romeo S3 convertible.

This car has A/C and electric windows and the seller was in the process of restoring it when he or she lost access to a garage. The car has a rebuilt alternator, rebuilt starter, and new vacuum hoses. But it also has some rust.

It won't cost you a mint, though -- the seller wants just four grand.

Check it out here if you dare.

I do love a good convertible. Except there *are* no good convertibles.

  The SC 430 is a good convertible regardless of the Clarkston brigade

  You're not wrong. All convertibles, including mine, suck. They're too heavy, they sacrifice a lot of interior and trunk room, they are going to leak later if they don't now, and they require more maintenance.
  But they are the only way to cruise in the open air on that perfect warm evening right after sunset, and so we deal with it.

You're getting warmer. I'm a sucker for rusty Italian cars named "Fiat".

Remember the magazine ads for Alfas back in the 80s. They never showed the cars, just a set of keys with the Alfa badge laying amongst some suggestive luxury goods. They probably couldn't get a working car to the photoshoots, so just went with that idea instead.
