Description:
Thanks for taking a look at our 1971 Alfa Romeo GT Veloce Junior 1300 hotrod.
The Alfa Romeo GTV. The world famous canyon carver with that glorious exhaust note. It’s the car you need to try to beat at the short, fast tracks. And she’s going to turn heads whether you're going uptown on a Friday night or down the backside of the corkscrew at Laguna Seca on Saturday morning. A crowd is all but guaranteed at your local car show or cruise night.
We acquired this Alfa GTV here in California via ebay in the summer of 2014. It had a clean California title, had not been in an accident and had a well preserved interior. The car was in a body shop and the owner eventually decided the restoration cost was beyond his means. The engine turned freely but was not running. The brakes were locked up. The body had light rust in the quarters and fenders but was otherwise in very nice restorable condition.
We began with the metal work. All of the rust was removed and panels were fitted as required. We shaved and filled for that hot rod look. No bumpers, no visible radio antenna and minimal chrome and stainless trim. The car was stripped, glass out, and prepared for paint. We chose Diamond White Pearl Metallic for maximum visual impact. This 3 stage paint process took an entire day just to spray.
After a month of curing, we color sanded and polished the paint until it revealed that amazing sizzle of pearlescence and metallic sparkle.
The interior was mildly reconditioned and kept as spartan as originally designed. We’re betting a lot of Alfisti will rip out any interior accoutrements in favor of a roll bar and race seats anyway.
Twin Weber DCOE 40 carburetors were rebuilt and the electrical was sorted. The entire braking system was replaced including booster, master and slave cylinders, calipers and lines, pads and fluids. All quality parts were sourced from name brand Alfa suppliers like Centerline and Jon Norman.
The drivetrain appeared to have been recently rebuilt and she sprang to life with ease. She’s tight and fast with an awesome sound from the Magna Flow pipe.
