This is a solid. unmolested GTV that I have owned for a decade in SAN DIEGO. CA. It has been an amazingly reliable car over all that time. never breaking down or stranding me. Always starts even after a long lay off.  
Positives - I have been in touch will owners dating back to the 1990s and have service records back to that time. The owner who restored the car in the 1990s told me that it was completely rust free when he undertook to restore it. Every Alfa expert to look it over since then has concluded that it is a straight. problem free car. It remains a nice original car all around that has spent all of its life in California and garaged. Original wheels. Spica works wonderfully. Paint is to a good standard. though not concourse. Transmission is good. though you need to remember first-neutral-second. Interior is really clean. It had a restoration in the 1990s. very tastefully done. All electronics work fine. except the switch that automatically turns on the interior overhead light when you open the driver door is iffy. Original steering wheel was replaced with a beautiful Nardi. The shift nob matches the steering wheel. The original shift nob. but not the steering wheel come with the car. Brand new Toyo tires. Comes with an earlier style bumper that I never installed. I've performed a magnet test on the rockers with an Alfa expert. revealing no bondo. The car had a rust bubble on the driver's side rocker when I purchased it as well as surface rust around the antenna. I had these fixed when I had the car repainted. It is now essentially rust free except for some minor surface rust on the trunk floor.
Negatives -- (for some) the interior center console has been replaced by one from a 1971 era car. But the original console and ash tray are included with the car. I like the aesthetics of that interior style much better. The center console has two nice additional gauges: an analog clock and a ambient temperature gauge. It also has a period Blaupunkt blue dot radio that works and is set up to play with an i-phone or whatever. A small switch on the dash toggles between radio and music player. I could never find the correct ash tray and instead used that spot to hold my music player. The radio sounds nicely vintage. The center console has speakers holes cut as per original. But I've never installed speakers there. I bought it with 1970s era speakers on the rear panel. The seatbelt warning light has been replaced with a Bertone logo.  
It comes with some advertising literature. pictures form the 1990s restoration. an owner's manual and Instruction and Maintenance manual. Both are photocopies. but of nice quality with all the fold out diagrams. Also service records dating back to the 1990s.
The odometer reads less than 80K miles. I can't be certain of the accuracy of that. particularly given the 1990s restoration. The car does look and feel like a low mileage car. And it has fewer than 3K in the last 10 years. The condition of the components under the hood also suggest that the car has not been used that much.
I've tried to be as honest and thorough as I can be here. But I'm happy to answer any questions that you have. I'm also happy to work with a shipper if you need to do that. Though I'd feel comfortable driving it home if you are within a 1000 miles of San Diego.
I researched the pricing on these carefully and believe that I am pricing this car fairly. I understand that it is not a perfect car. and I have set the price accordingly. So. I won't be lowering the price because of this or that flaw. If you have proof of sales on E-bay or elsewhere in the past year that suggest my price is too high. please let me know. I really do want to be fair and will take documented prior sales into account.
