Here is a very special piece of Alfa Romeo racing history of the 1970's. This car is a time capsule and has not been seen by the general public since the mid 1980's. The 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider AR 1495. 01381 driven by Robert Greene and Blizzard Performance Automotive.  

This is a historically significant SCCA F Production race car with a special provenance and well documented racing history that was successful in period in SCCA National and Regional entered events. This car is very well known by SCCA racers and Alfa fans alike in period.  This Alfa Romeo racing treasure was raced and entered by Robert Greene in period and sponsored by Valvoline. Champion. Graku Wheels. The car is in it's original 1970's SCCA racing livery with it's period racing paint from the 70's. virtually un-touched with all it's patina from it's last race. This car is a real time capsule from Alfa Romeo SCCA racing history. This car entered. podiumed and won many regional and national SCCA races in period. The car won the both the 1976 and 1978 SCCA Regional Championship Race for F-Production(FP) at Riverside International Raceway.  

This car is the matching sister team car to the Dick Blizzard Giulietta Spider that won the SCCA National Road Racing Championship in FP in 1976. sponsored by Shankle. This car is the sole survivor of the two sister cars as the other car was destroyed. I am told my Mr. Greene himself that this car was much more developed then the sister car. Mr. Greene himself will be happy to discuss and any other questions about the car with the new owner.  

The car has it's original racing rollbar and original SCCA number stamped and recorded by the SCCA CalClub of the Southern Pacific Division in period. circa 1970's.  The car is incredibly light and has many trick period racing components still on the car as it originally raced with from the 70's and 80's. We believe this car was a race car for the vast majority of it's life (early 1960's-early 1980's) a huge time span for a car to be a successful. competitive race car. Car comes with a known history and pictures of it racing in period as well as scans of racing publications the car was in such as: ( ‘Finish Line' Official Publication of the California Sports Car Club).

Racing parts on the car.  The car has most all of it's original 70's special parts it raced with in period.

 Fiberglass racing bucket drivers seat. Trick aluminum suspension. and racing springs and shocks. Custom sway bars and aluminum mounts. Custom circa 70's racing brake modifications. Stainless steel braided brake lines. Custom racing oil pan upper and lower sump with oil scavenging protection.  All circa 70's racing dash gauges the car raced with in period. etc. Fuel Cell circa 70'sRacing AccusumpRacing battery box and exterior racing battery jump with external hookups at rear of car.  Racing oil cooler and lines. Period Personal racing steering wheel

The car does have some drivers side damage where the headlight and front fender is that will need to be repaired. There are various other areas of the cars body that needs attention but overall very good for a very special and significant SCCA race car that has sat since the early 80's. The car is in need of restoration. Due to the car's paint. body and decals we would hope that work would be carried out to keep the cars original racing patina as it was in period and still as it is today. We would hope the new owner would keep as much of it original and as is as possible and race with it looking as original as it did in period! All original racing parts currently on car and those that come with the car should be carefully looked at and restored (a list of parts that come with the car are listed below). What is also very special is that this well known race car will be eligible for all the BIG prestigious vintage racing events in the US with it's significant period racing history and well known livery. In addition the car will be highly competitive in it's class.

This cars sister car as mentioned above was a giant killer and beat the Triumph Spitfires and British Leyland's in period in 1975 and 1976. This car is a time capsule. It still has it's trick aluminum suspension and many other special race parts it raced with in period.

Pomona and Riverside by Dennis McGrew before there was a strong SCCA contingency.
