BaT Auction: 21-Years Owned 1986 Alfa Romeo GTV6

This 1986 Alfa Romeo GTV6 is said to have been first sold in California, where it was acquired by the seller in September 2000. The car was refinished in black by a previous owner, and during current ownership the 2.5-liter V6 was replaced, the suspension was modified with Koni shocks and Shankle springs, vented and cross-drilled rotors were fitted along with stainless-steel brake lines, and 17″ Team Dynamics Motorsport wheels were installed. Additional equipment includes a five-speed manual transaxle, tan leather upholstery, a sliding sunroof, air conditioning, and power windows. Services performed since June 2021 include an oil change, rebuilding the rear brake calipers, and replacing the timing belt and spark plugs. This GTV6 is offered with a car cover, two additional sets of wheels, various spare parts, service records, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The seller reports that the car was refinished in black during previous ownership, and exterior features include a sliding sunroof, a front lip spoiler, quad headlights, painted mirror caps, and dual exhaust outlets. Paint chips are highlighted in the gallery, and the seller reports bubbling near the rear window. The windshield wiper jets are currently inoperative.

Multi-spoke 17″ Team Dynamics Motorsport alloy wheels are mounted with 215/40 Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 tires. Shankle sport springs have been fitted along with Koni shock absorbers, vented and drilled front brake rotors, and stainless steel brake lines. The rear brake calipers were rebuilt in June 2021. A set of 15″ Speedline alloy wheels mounted to Michelin tires are included in the sale, along with a set of MOMO wheels mounted to Kumho tires and removed suspension components.

The interior features front and rear bolstered seats upholstered in tan leather, as well as contrasting black carpets and trim. Amenities include air conditioning, power windows, and a wooden shift knob. Wear is visible on the driver’s seat, and the seller reports that the Pioneer stereo does not work. A pair of spare door panels are included in the sale.

The aftermarket wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Veglia instrumentation consisting of a 150-mph speedometer, a 7,500-rpm tachometer, and an analog clock. Additional gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure are housed in the center stack. The five-digit odometer is believed to have rolled over twice and currently shows under 800 miles. The Carfax report lists a potential odometer rollback in February 2000, and total mileage is unknown.

The Alfa Romeo Milano-sourced 2.5-liter V6 was purchased from Alfa Parts Exchange of Tracy, California, and installed during current ownership. Services performed in June 2021 are said to have included an oil change and replacement of the timing belt and spark plugs. The seller states that the removed factory 2.5-liter V6 block and its associated components are included in the sale.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a rear-mounted five-speed manual transaxle. Corrosion is reported on the underside, additional photos of which can be viewed in the gallery below.

Various spare parts are included in the sale and shown further in the gallery below, along with a car cover, manufacturer’s literature, and service records.
