A great driver for the Alfa enthusiast

1976 Alfa Romeo Alfetta Additional Info:

AMAZING CHOICE - 3 SILVER ALFETTA GTs FOR SALE ON EBAY AT THE SAME TIME.If you are a serious buyer, you should check out all three...they are very much alike, and yet each offers something a little different. Read what each seller has to say about their car...ask questions. These are great cars but a buyer not familiar with this generation of Alfa should take the time to learn about them. Good luck to all the sellers.The purchase price I paid was ($9750), the shipping cost ($2000), and since then I have put almost as much money into the car to make a real driver ($11,400). Now I am into this car for $23,150...and I am about to take a bath because a car I wanted more but couldn't find, has now become available. My new price for this is $16,000.STATE OF THE CAR:Mileage on the odometer shows just over 24340 (it will keep changing as I drive it)…BUT the previous owner believed it has rolled over, and I am sure he is right, so add 100,000 to the total.The previous owner had no documentation on a reported engine rebuild prior to his own years with the car. But it does have 10mm cams verse the stock 9mm, and runs very strong.This a 1976 49 state Non-Catalyst car. This means it cannot be registered in California without a lot of hassel with the DMW. In addition, this was originally a Spica fuel injected US model that has been converted to Weber carburetors. It was made in 10/75 but it was first sold and is registered as model year 1976. The previous owner registered in Connecticut as a historical vehicle. California is the only problem state.Comes with a ton of service history going back to 2019, and prior owner registration going back even further…to the 1990s, plus factory owners and shop manuals and a Weber carb manual.WORK DONE BY PREVIOUS OWNER SINCE 2019:Rebuilt front calipers.New rear calipers.New rotors and pads all round.New brake booster.New Ate brake master cylinder.New clutch and slave cylinder.Stainless steel slave cylinder hose.New guibos/donuts in 2022.New transaxle mounts in 2022.New standard type exhaust system (from Headers back).New sump pan gasket 2022.Carbs ultrasonic cleaned and new kit put in 2022.Euro’ throttle linkage installed.Euro’ bumpers installed.GTV6 springs in rear.New top radiator hoses.New brake check valve and hose.Fuel filler vent hose.New interior fan motor.Flush/test heater core / new foam in heat box – Heater ducts not connected.New heater valve.New handbrake cable.New radiator fan switch.Fuel pressure gauge in between carbs.New fuel hose.Front sway bar bushings.Newly and very well upholstered front and rear seats – bought them from an Alfa BBer.New gear lever gaiter.Later door panels (GTV6, carpet and trunk cover (no speaker holes). The rear interior panels below the rear windows are original and in good condition (no speaker holes).Carb top return spring mount.Tubular headers.Smaller Italian and very period OBA steering wheel.The doors, left and right, are very good, including underneath.Underside, floor and chassis rails, trunk floor are all very solid.5 Turbina rims all in good shaped with older Pirellis (plenty of tread and no visible cracking but certainly beyond 5 years of age).Later (GTV6) rear hatch with rubber seal – hence the Alfetta GT is just using the old GTV6 badge holes rather than on top of the tail gate. Rear hatch is very clean and rust free.ISSUES WITH THE CAR:Gearbox shifts well but second gear Syncros get cranky and grind if rushed and when cold. Drives fine, no urgent need to address this. Cost to fix is approximately $2300.The car has an older respray, driver quality, including driver’s door and rear hatch. Subtle waviness in rear quarter panels suggest some filler. Some minor over spay can be found.Some small bubbling below driver’s side taillight, and at bottom of passenger side rear quarter.Some small dings, some paint imperfections.Windscreen washer tank fitted but not connected. Emergency flasher switch/wiring inoperable. Headliner is in good shape but has some stains. Dash board has three cracks, (they all do). It has a cover but I prefer to just leave it uncovered.RECENT SERVICE BY PREVIOUS OWNER:New plugs in last 1000milesElectronic ignition replacing points.All new gaskets from manifold to carb New sealed throttle shaft bearingsRECENT SERVICE BY NEW/CURRENT OWNER.
