Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV

Manufactured in April of ‘75, his 2000 GTV was intended to be one of the last cars delivered to the US market. Instead, hanks to currency fluctuations and Alfa’s perennial lack of cash, t was sold new in the European market to the wife of a Dutch industrialist, emaining in her possession until 2006. From there it was off to Van Lingen, n Alfa dealer and parts specialist, nd then purchased by a German collector in 2012. Last year, he current owner finally completed the car’s original intended journey, nd imported it to the US.

An original “Rosso Alfa” example, his GTV retains all its desirable options, ncluding rare factory air conditioning (fully functional) and Campagnolo “Turbina” wheels. The black vinyl interior is largely original and in excellent condition, ith a flawless dash, eautiful Jaeger instruments, nd a radio/cassette player. Upholstery is in great shape on all four seats, ncluding a recently replaced driver’s seat bottom, nd complemented by a tight headliner and immaculate carpets.

Thanks to years of careful ownership and regular Tectyl rust-proofing, his GTV’s body is solid and straight, eaturing excellent rockers, anel gaps, nd floors. The paint retains a deep luster and shows little wear, hough there are a few areas that have been re-touched over the years. All trim is intact and correct, nd the aforementioned Turbina wheels are very presentable with only minor blemishes.

This June the car received a comprehensive service at Alfa Auto Clinic on Long Island, ncluding SPICA tuning, ew tires, nd fresh shocks. It’s a fantastic drive with a flawless gearbox, trong brakes, nd precise steering. The engine revs very smoothly and achieved consistent compression between 135-145 psi during a recent test. A mildly upgraded exhaust makes gorgeous noises out back, hough for the purist the original parts are also included in the sale. Currently, he odometer reads 42,207 kilometers, hough as a five-digit display it may have exceeded its mechanical limits. Available immediately on a California title.
