1974 Alfa Romeo 2000 GT Veloce USA
History:
This is a matching numbers and colors Alfa, one of only 1,432 examples produced for the North American market in 1974. Alfa Romeo archive records show AR 3023536 selling on March 14, 1974 to the first owner, Vic Provenzano of California. Vic was the two-time SCCA B-Sedan National Champion in 1967 & 1970 and a very successful racer in the Trans-Am U2L and Two-Five Challenge series for Alfa Romeo. Vic sold the GTV on August 25, 1977 to Greg Higham of Bridgestone Racing. The third, and current, owner purchased the Alfa from Mr. Higham on August 11, 2017, and embarked on a 7-year ground up restoration with the help of Gary Todisco and Anthony Rimicci. The three-owner California car has great ownership history, old period photos, and license plates.
