| FOR SALE: 1974 Alfa Romeo Bertone GTV This car was one of the last cars imported into the USA as noted by its title issued in 1975. The body and frame is rust free, straight, and has never been in an accident. The grill is as new and the bumpers are in perfect condition. The car was restored in 2005 by an Alfa Romeo specialist shop, (Auto Veloce, N Miami Beach, Fl.), at which time the engine was rebuilt to factory spec with a rebuilt head, new gaskets, radiator and hoses, new a/c compressor, water pump, master and slave cylinders, orig. spark plug wires and new plugs. This magnificent antique automobile has cold a/c, and performs with the reliability of cars half its age. The Spica injection system has been replaced by two Webber carburetors, protected by air filters on velocity stacks that actually improve performance and make a sumptuous sound. Torsion bars were installed as is common to stiffen up the frame. She rolls on period aftermarket powder coated BMA four spoke wheels and Pirelli P4000s. The car was repainted in ministerial blue. (dark navy blue), with a factory replacement int. kit. The dashboard is in one piece, with no cracks whatsoever. It was sent to a specialty shop in California and restored as original. The headliner, seats, door panels, etc. are in like new condition. The windshield was installed with the euro style rubber gasket, which is superior to the glass-on-metal style of the US version. The gauges all work, the wood panel across the front of the dash is in one piece, no radio ever installed, and the steering wheel is original. The glove box is in good shape and the original courtesy light works. The lighter has been changed out to a modern one, but the car comes with the original working one as well. A true alfisti will appreciate the orig. hood light with the plastic tab, the orig. jack stand, lug wrench (still in orig. pouch), battery cover, and trunk carpeting. The int. courtesy lights with the orig. light covers and switches work. It has the correct driver’s side mirror in like new condition. It has been meticulously maintained since its restoration, with receipts and paperwork. It is not a concourse car, but could be with some attention from an owner so inclined. All of the restoration bugs have been worked out of this car in the past three years, making it a perfect Sunday/long distance driver. Baby forces sale. Will sell to a nice alfisti home that can appreciate this gorgeous car.
