Fully restored and set up as one of the most iconic sport coupes of the late 60’s and 70’s. The Alfa was completely glass beaded inside and out and refinished in Alfa Dark Orca Yellow. I found the car in the very dry Palm Springs area a couple years ago. It had been off the road since 1987 when its prior owner parked it. It was a great find because of the climate did not allow it to rust anywhere. It was a very straight car and as solid as the day it was new. I had looked at several Alfa’s before I chose this one for my project. After the car arrived in Portland I proceeded to take the car totally apart and inventory and inspect every part and put together my plan for the best GTV that I could build. My plan was to build an Alfa that would be used in the Monte Shelton Rally in the summer of 2015 and driven by my wife and here sister. It was important to me to have a mild GTA look and as much performance that would be comfortable for regular roads. The Engine was pulled out and completely taken apart and blueprinted. The prior owner had the head done by Spruell before it was parked. I had found receipts and part lists in the glove box when I took it apart. I had new valves, springs and followers installed. Along with Performance Camshafts form Centerline, 11.0 and 10.5 for more performance and to take advantage of the better flowing cylinder head. It had high compression pistons in in. But I replaced them with more modern Motronic 2.0 piston and cylinders. The crank was polished and clean, all new bearings, water pump, and completely detailed and properly sealed up. It is a strong running engine with about 1000 miles on it since finished. When I got the car it had the stock Spica injection on it. I love the sound and performance of the side draft Weber carburetors, so I fitted a new kit from Redline. The car came with a performance header that I had ceramic coated, and I installed a Centerline Stinger exhaust. It sounds great and is not too loud. All the suspension was cleaned painted and upgraded. I went with Centerline performance springs and Bilstein Sport shocks on all four corners. Every piece of hardware on the car was cleaned and prepped so I could yellow zinc coat it all. Every bolt was done on the car, plus appropriate suspension components. I also when with the performance brake package from Centerline with vented wider rotors. The brake calipers were restored, re-sealed and yellow zinc coated, plus all new lines and stainless steel end lines. Every wheel bearing and seal was also replaced. I installed new poly bushings everywhere. I replaced the rear trunion bushings as well. The rear diff was taken apart, new bearings and inspected. In 1974 the car comes factory with a LSD unit. I also had the driveline and all u-joints replaced The Fuel system was completely replaced with everything including fuel tank (larger volume) and lines. I love the look of the GTA 15” wheels from Classic Alfa. Also new Bridgestone RE11 rubber. When the body was at paint it was epoxy primed and POR-15 treated on the inside to protect it for the rest of its life. The paint job is fully show quality and done at a large expense. Every body seal was replaced, most of which came from Classic Alfa in the UK. I found after purchasing ones from Centerline, that the Classic Alfa seals were much better fitting. I also replace both window regulators. All the stainless trim and bumpers were sent out to be polished prior to being installed. I like the look of the stock bumpers, and they are in great condition. I bought a new chrome grill and all new emblems for the car. The interior is all-new. I did take some liberty with the interior. The seats are pleated with the same material style as the 69’ flying buttress seats for a better look. I also had the cracked dash covered in Alcantera for a sporty Italian look. All the gauges work proper. All the wood on the dash is new. I kept the Alfa original Personal steering wheel and added a matching Nardi Wood shift knob. The entire interior was replaced including carpets door cards, rear panels, and headliner.
This is truly a full restoration and hundreds of hours spent on it. It was tuned and final set up by Nasko’s Imports, one of the best Alfa guys in the US. It does come with original Jack, and owners manual. It has a Minilite Mag wheel in for the spare. It ran in the Rally and my wife had a great time, but time to move on to the next project. This car handles like nothing else, and the sound is pure Italian excitement. This car gets lots of attention, and is so unique in the Dark Okra color.
