null STRONG RUNNER AND EXCELLENT DRIVER

1975 ALFA GTV 2000
Last chance to buyone of my favorite cars for a great price before I decide to keep it myself and build a GTAm Replica! (see last pic below)
We have owned this Alfa for six years and in that time have gone through all the mechanicals to make it a tight. fast and reliable classic that you can get in. turn the key and go. One of the best cornering and braking classic sports cars I have ever driven and it is an absolute blast to drive.
First. to clarify it's history. It is a 1975. I know. they stopped selling GTVs in the US in 1974 and this has small tail lights that they never sold on US cars. That's because it started life as a Euro 1975 Alfa GT 1300 Junior. The later Juniors was nearly identical to the GTV 2000 with the exception of smaller tail lights. smaller brakes and a 4:55 rear differential ratio. I recently spoke to the italian gentleman who imported the car (two owners before me) and converted it to the 2000 (1962 cc) motor with side draft Weber DCOE 40 carburetors. When we got it. it still had the 4:55 gears. which were fun for when you wanted to race away from a stoplight. but left the car running out of revs at about 70 mph. We changed the rear-end to a 4:11 LSD from a later spyder. it cruises well on the highway now and I believe we still have the rare in the US 4:55 gears in our shop.

I listed it as a 1974 since with US sales ending in 1974. no one would find the car if I listed it as a 1975. anyway. I hope that explains it and sorry for the confusion.
Now. on to the car itself. In our tenure with the car. we have added / improved the following- International Auto Parts. red. performance springs and sway bars- Bilstein Shocks- Poly Bushings- Crossed Drilled. larger GTV 2000 Rotors and performance Pads- 2. 25" Stainless Alfa BB / Magnaflow Exhaust http://www. alfabb. com/bb/forums/anything-about-alfa-romeos-alfabb-com/27686-magnaflow-exhaust-systems-have-arrived. html- 4:11 LSD rear end- Rebuilt Motor (runs great and has strong oil pressure)- Electronic Ignition with quality wires and stonger coil- Rebuilt. tuned and balanced the Webers- Replaced the trans with a lower-miles one that has very minimal 2nd syncro issues- Repainted it and removed the bumpers (more on that below and I'm sorry. I no longer have the bumpers)
As I said at the start. with the above improvements and refreshing. the car runs and drives fantastically. I had it sitting for three months on one of our stacking lifts recently and other than the battery draining the car started right up with little effort. It drives straight and true. handles beautifully and stops on a dime. What is lacking a bit is the cosmetics.
A few years back. while I wasn't looking to do a restoration. I had a few minor cosmetics and a body-shop that was desperate to show us what they could do. They convinced me to let them "restore" the car while addressing the minor cosmetics it had and I let them as an opportunity to show me what they can do. Unfortunately. that was a mistake. While the car looked great for about a year. soon. bubbles started cracking through on the lower rockers / fender corners where I hadn't even had any issue previously and a hole formed in the driver's floor. Both issues. particularly the floor are a relatively easy fix although the rockers / fenders will take a bit more effort. There are also some other minor cosmetics showng in the pics towards the end (nicks. small dents in the rear a cracked tail light lens. etc. ) I don't have much time to get involved with bodywork. so I figured I would try to sell it as-is. but if it doesn't sell in this auction. i'm going to keep it. get GTAm Replica wide-body fenders and sent it off over the winter to be transformed (see last pic below). The bodywork is unfortunate. especially since the paint and the car overall look stunning. but it is what it is.
The only other thing I would want to address if I kept he car would be to get new front tires. I just hadn't decide yet if I was happy with the tire size as is or if I'd want to go to something wider and change all four.
While there are some cosmetics to be tackled. this is a GTV that you can get in and enjoy today with little work. This is an opportunity to pick up a great. strong running car for a great price and take the cosmetics in whichever direction you most prefer. I have set a very low reserve and will consider offers to end the auction early. but like I said. if it doesn't sell by the end of the auction. it's off to the body shop and I'm keeping it. Don't miss your chance! Bid or Call me today to make a deal!
