The restrained elegance and perfect proportions of the Alfa Romeo
GTV survived for over a 10 year production run with relatively
light cosmetic changes but more significant were the mechanical
upgrades. Over the years, engine displacement grew, which altered
the GTV's character. The innovative high-revving, carbureted 1570
cc DOHC four (1600) was succeeded by a 1779 cc four (1750) with a
SPICA mechanical fuel injection system in the GTV of 1969 which
remained in production through 1971.
This particular US Market example was first sold new in California
in 1972 as a 1971 year model, and is titled as such. For the last
10 years it has remained in the collection of a passionate San
Francisco Alfa Romeo enthusiast, who at one time owned
approximately 25 Alfas, nearly all of which were kept at the level
of this wonderful example. This desirable 1750cc GTV received a
comprehensive restoration between 2006-2009. Work included paint,
upholstery, new body rubbers and emblems, restoration of the
instruments, fitment of new brake hoses, pads, and rotors, and new
ball joints and control arm bushings. The transmission was rebuilt
with new synchros and bearings as necessary, with specially treated
gears, while the engine's cylinder head was also rebuilt and fitted
with new intake + exhaust values and guides. Finally, the Speca
fuel injection system was tuned for easy operation, both when warm
and cold. The resulting car is an absolute thrill to drive! Its
motor demonstrates a quiet and even idle, but pulls strong from low
rpms, right up to redline - as the transmission is precise and
smooth in its operation both up and down, which is often not the
case on vintage Alfas. Tight suspension, steering and solid brakes
round out the package.
The cosmetic presentation is excellent for the high end driver. Its
cabin is beautiful, and freshly trimmed in correct materials, as
was the dash. The GTV's engine bay and undercarriage is sound and
tidy, while not overly detailed, and appears quite solid. This
example sits on rare and beautiful pent-mag Cromodora wheels with
new and period correct Pirelli Cinturatos CN36 tires. Amber front
lenses and Italian license plate up front complement the ensemble,
along with a set of custom matching CoCo mats and Autodromo
stringback driving gloves in the cabin for the ultimate period
driving experience.
Original Alfa Romeo sales brochures and documentation reflecting
the restoration work mentioned above accompany the vehicle, along
with the original jack, tools in vinyl sleeve and restored spare
wheel assembly. Prepared for immediate vintage touring pleasure and
display at the local Cars and Coffee, this outstanding Alfa Romeo
GTV 1750 is now available for worldwide purchase and delivery.
