510 sedans were pretty good handlers. Well balanced and responsive. But they would roll if you weren’t careful.

We took a 210 out to Road Atlanta out in the day, tipped it over square on its top, rolled it back over, and kept going. Top looked like a moonscape after that. LOL

Nice car pics.

BTW I sold my 510 and got a 73 BMW 2002. Now that was a fun car. I can still smell the leather.

The pictures were from the ‘net. Both were the same colors as my cars.

The Alfa must have been seriously autocrossed by a previous owner. The wheels & tires had been switched from 165-15 to 185-14. He had added a rear anti-roll bar and a larger front anti-roll bar, plus Koni shocks. The front disks had been swapped from 10.5” to 11.75”. My 3/4 ton GMC P/U had 11.5”. Finally, he had added 4-Point harness, unusual in a street car in 1973.

The seats were terrible, but that Alfa stopped like it had snagged an arrestor cable.
