Discount Steel from behind the Iron Curtain!

DateMonday, May 9, 2011 at 11:46PM

Many jokes are made about vintage Alfas' propensity to rust out.  But it's no joke that these cars were built from very low quality Soviet steel in the 70s.  I recently found this alarming photo of the roof of a badly abused Alfetta GT Coupe.  For those who want to call it a myth, here's your evidence! There are bombed out Soviet tank carcasses in Afghanistan in better shape than this heap!

Crispy... How could such a characterful car be made so cheaply?? Life is so unfair.
