1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA Stradale in Phoenix, AZ

Vehicle Description

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Paris event, 6 February 2019.
Estimate:
�310.000 - �340.000

  • Desirable GTA 1600 Stradale
  • Beautifully restored
  • Still wearing its original Italian registration plates


The GTA gave Alfa Romeo massive success in International Touring car championships in the '60s and early '70s. A lightweight homologation special, it represented the dreams of many enthusiasts of its heyday and is highly collectable today thanks to its stunning performance and gorgeous Bertone-penned bodywork. Thanks to the wide use of �Peraluman 25' alloy body panels of 1.2-mm thickness, it weighed only 740 kg and coupled with its 115-hp 1,570-cc inline four-cylinder engine, it delivered exhilarating performance.

Delivered new to Switzerland in December 1966 sporting a red over black interior, this GTA was sold new to Lecce, Italy, to Mr Antonio Moriero and registered on 21 April 1972 with the registration LE 154960. It was later sold to Mr. Federico Ascari of Castenedolo who kept the car until 1986, when he sold it to Mr Giuseppe d'Agata of Treviso who kept the car until 2011.

The car ended up in the famous Mario Pietrella collection who commissioned a concours-level restoration and commissioned Chiapparini and his mechanics to restore it to pure �Stradale' configuration, including Weber 45 DCOE14 carburettors, but adding few features such as the famous Autodelta �slittone', i.e., the rear axle sliding guide, and velocity stacks. It was purchased by the consignor, an Italian Alfa Romeo collector and enthusiast in 2013.

Offered publicly for the first time, this is a unique opportunity to acquire one of the most significant Alfa Romeos ever made. To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/pa19.
