BaT Auction: 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000

This 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV is finished in green over tan vinyl and is powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a factory limited-slip differential. Modifications include a Weber carburetor conversion, electronic ignition, 15″ Panasport-style wheels, and performance camshafts. The car was acquired in 2020 by the seller, who subsequently performed rust repairs as well as fluid services and replaced the spark plugs, battery, alternator belt, sound insulation, seat belts, trunk mat, wiper motor, and door hinge pins. This GTV is now offered with an owner’s manual, wiring diagrams, service records dating to 2000, and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name.

The Giugiaro-designed bodywork was refinished in its present shade of green during prior ownership, and photos showing the car being refinished are provided in the gallery below. The seller states that rust repairs were made to the front floor pans in October 2020, at which time heat shielding and sound deadening material were added. The seller notes a rust spot on the right rear, the windshield washers do not work, and chips in the paint are visible on the rear decklid and can be viewed in the gallery.

15″ Panasport-style alloy wheels are mounted with older Yokohama tires, which the seller states are in need of replacement. Disc brakes are equipped at each corner.

The interior is trimmed in tan vinyl with black carpets and woodgrain-effect trim on the dashboard and center console. The seller fitted replacement three-point seat belts and replaced the door hinge pins, driver’s door handle, the wiper motor, and the rubber mat in the trunk. The period Blaupunkt radio and newer Pioneer speakers are not connected, and the rear window defroster does not work.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Jaeger instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer and a tachometer, along with gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. An aftermarket oil-temperature gauge has been added to the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 85k miles, approximately 500 of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.

The twin-cam 2.0L inline-four was converted from the factory SPICA fuel injection to dual Weber carburetors during prior ownership and an electronic ignition was added, and it is said to be fitted with performance camshafts from International Auto Parts of Charlottesville, Virginia. Records indicate that the engine was rebuilt in 2002, and recent service included fluid services and replacement of the spark plugs, alternator belt, and battery.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, and records show that the transmission was rebuilt in 2009. Additional underside images can be viewed in the gallery.

Photos showing the earlier repaint in progress are included in the sale.

The car is supplied with an owner’s manual, wiring diagrams, service records dating back to 2000, and three keys.
