Bucket List Car! Gorgeous Alfa Romeo GTV 1750 -Rosso over Nero- Ride along VIDEO

Thanks for stopping by to take a look at our very cool 1971 Alfa Romeo GTV 1750. This legendary canyon carver looks like a lot of fun. Let’s check it out!

Salvage Title

Let’s get this out of the way for those who draw a line here. This car bears a salvage stamped title. That means at some point, an insurance company wrote a check for damage exceeding the value. Take a look at the photos and the video. Notice the impact absorption damage in the trunk floor. It’s there, about an inch of wrinkle. Now look at the slight deformation of the rear bumper. Next talk to an Alfa owner and find out how a soft and supple GTV rear end can be dimpled by an over ardent admirer in an XKE. At 49 Yes, this hot little Italian has a wrinkle. Find one that doesn’t and get ready to spend double or triple. Back when these cars were of little value, writing them off as an insurance loss was normal. By 2020 standards this car would have never been written off as salvage for such minor damage. You don’t want to confuse this paper loss salvage with a flood car, a burned car or a crashed shell that has been reanimated from used parts collected on the internet. We avoid those cars too.

That should separate the kids out. Now for those still interested in one of the finest driving Alfa Romeos ever built, we present a beautiful Alfa GTV lovingly restored by an F1 driver as a gift for his daughter. As often happens, his young daughter chose the ease of a new car over the classic Alfa Romeo. Hence the Alfa you’d allow your daughter to drive away in, is now available.

Recently, our friends put this Alfa through a shakedown rally that ran from Southern California to Monterey and back in summer temperatures. The father, daughter team put the Alfa GTV through her paces of roughly 1400 miles and she performed flawlessly.
