OWNING/DRIVING:
I have
owned three Alfa Romeo's, this one is the best of the bunch. Since you don't
see many 70's Alfetta GTV's (minus GTV6) on the road this is a true survivor
car. Most have rusted out which is sad because they are such balanced fun cars
to drive. I have driven this car all over southern California (see photos). It
has never failed to start but I do carry a tool bag. It has been in lots of
SOCAL CAR SHOWS and gets tons of thumbs up. The car also gets lots of photo op
from valet parking guys :) ... I try to drive the car into LA at least once a week
from my home in San Fernando Valley. The route is through Topanga Canyon twisty
country, PCH, through Venice and into LAX. So it does get pushed and if it breaks it gets
fixed. I do all my own work but when the need arises for special tools/hoist
the car is worked on @ John's Alfa LA (thanks Benny :).
MAINTENANCE
HISTORY:
The back story for the car is it sat for 12 years
in a garage belonging to a church. The pastor of the church had died and the
car was put up for an estate sale. I answered the ad for the car but it was in
very bad shape but, it was a complete car. For the next 4 years it was on jack
stands undergoing refit. It was leaking oil badly from the rear main seal. So
the engine was removed cleaned up and repaired. While the engine was out a new
water pump was installed, radiator was rebuilt and alternator/starter were also
rebuilt. The pistons in side fuel injection pump were cleaned or replaced. The
drive shaft was also removed and sent out for re-balance and reinstalled with
all new rubber donuts. Being an Alfetta it had rust (see photos).
SPARE
PARTS:
Like I said lots of new and rebuilt parts ... From water pump
and starter to breaks and tires to fuel pump/sending unit to exhaust system and
paint. It also has Koni shocks installed with the larger torsion bars from the
GTV6. The car also has a set of Headers. If you drive it, you will be
impressed! All the bad Alfetta traits have been dealt with like overheating on
hot days. This Alfetta comes with two spare Alfetta engines with fuel injection
pumps, GTV drive shaft, new left and right door seals (have not had time to install seals), transmission with new clutch, spare radiator core (one
on car has been boiled and double rowed, no overheating), spare radiator fan, brake
rotors, air pump and lots more. It needs a new owner to take it to next level
Alfisti !!! The support parts are all there ...
No goofy buyers ... No cash, don't bid !!!
