Price aside, this could be an eBay listing from 2005, before the internet allowed for so much connection between the owners of cars from the fringes of the automotive landscape. Today, the parts for a GTV are widely available, the problems are documented very well, and the "right" modifications are accepted among those in the know. More people on the road might even recognize the make and model, largely due to the reintroduction of Alfa Romeo to North American shores.
We like the mystery of this one. How many miles since the engine rebuild? Which parts were used? Where were the synchros for the trans rebuild sourced? Were the floors the only rust items to address, or maybe the only items that the seller had the heart to dig into? With the automotive internet humming along, the answers to these questions would normally be offered by the seller. This listing harkens back to a time when I think people went out on a limb more when purchasing something like this.
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 Alfa 2000 GTV (GT Veloce) was the successor to the 1750. With subtle styling changes, the 2000 GTV is still unmistakably from the house of Bertone. The 2000 GTV featured a 1.9L DOHC engine with mechanical fuel injection that produced 150 hp. Popular in racing circles, these cars continued Alfas racing heritage through the 70’s.
This well-kept example for sale in Scottsdale, AZ is a shining example of why the '70s alfas are so iconic. The red over black interior is pure italian sports car.
Here is a gorgeous 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 that looks absolutely gorgeous and runs beautifully!!! This Alfa is finished in a beautiful Red over a black interior, sitting on a great looking set of factory wheels. This great piece of Italian motoring history has been owned and driven its entire life in California!!! The car runs great and the classic 2000cc twin cam four cylinder has been lovingly looked after and comes with TONS of receipts and maintenance records. This car has been the subject of an on going restoration since 2004 and has been driven sparingly since. The car runs fantastic and has that great classic Italian car sound. The cars exterior looks excellent with a beautiful paint job and very nice chrome. The black interior is in excellent condition and the seats are quite comfortable. The car is in excellent shape inside and out. Best of all this is a documented California Car with a RUST FREE undercarriage. These Alfas are great modes of transportation and were ahead of their time when new, from the twin cam 4 cylinder engine to the 5 speed gear box. These cars were fantastic on the track and are still dominant in vintage racing today. This Alfa Romeo is a great collector's item, that is surely to appreciate in value over the years. This car is a great driving car and is lots of fun to drive on a nice spring day.
Admittedly, I'm not an Italian car guy, sure I pine over Ferraris, Lambos, and a Lancia here and there,but have nevre really followed the other Italian Marques. Since fellow contributor Paul has been posting here, I've been introduced to a wider array of these cars, and have grown to appreciate them, and this beautiful 2000 GTV is no exception.
Average retail on the 1974 2000 GTV is just north of $28,000, and considering the range of vehicles out there this example is well above average. This car is a great example of a solid driver condition car, and at a Buy it Now prive of $24,750, this would make a great addition to any collection.
