Hi All, New member here looking for a G15 in the United States, hopefully, but not necessarily, close to Portland, Oregon. Ideally car will be running with tags, but project is okay too. My preference would be to take the G15 as a partial trade for a restored 1967 Alfa Romeo GTV. It's a step nose model. Thanks. Kind regards Bob
Portland, Oregon, USA
