1994 Alpha Gold anyone owned one? had experience with one?

As I remember, Alfa was wood framed. They slapped sruff together with litrle regard to quality. From past experiences, and meaning no disrespect, engineer types have a lot of book learning, but little practical knowledge or real common sense.
If you want it, and there are ZERO signs of leaks, go for it. Just be prepared to double or triple your investment fixing stuff to make it road worthy.
