We were fortunate enough to pass by a posse of Alfa Romeos on our daily school bus rides as children. 164s were the most common model in the Alfa Romeo repair shop parking lot, trailed by Spiders of all generations. Our favorite car on the lot was always a Giulia Berlina with a metal roof basket. And, we clearly remember reading the 2000 script on the GTV 2000s.

A 60s design that carried well into the 1970s until Alfa could no longer meet US low-speed impact bumper requirements, the GTV 2000 can be quickly distinguished from earlier models by a few major styling differences. Up front, the horizontal metal grille slats identify the car as a 2000 GTV. Large taillights distinguish it as a later model, as does the lack of step nose up front. Beyond that, you'd have to consult an Alfa expert, as we are sure that many smaller differences exist.

The seller of this example is very succinct for an Alfa seller - a relief, but in this case, unhelpful, as the listing leaves many questions unanswered. Near-perfect condition and no rust sound great, but has this always been the case? Did a restoration lead to the rust-free condition? Has the paint always been this nice? Or are we to surmise all of this from the "original miles" claim?

If it checks out, this could be a decent buy. Anything under $30,000 seems to be a deal on a GTV without holes in the bodywork, so the pricing on this one is pretty fair to us. Factor in the low miles and lack of rust, and it's an attractive offering - once the questions have been answered, of course.
