The Alfa Thread

[LateFan]

That's a big pile of American Dollars. You could buy a bunch of Alfaholics bits and a twin-plug engine, and build yourself a hell of a GTV, but like Singer, these guys have so much experience in the fine tuning, chassis development, and finishing of these cars that it would be hard to match the look and performance of their product.

'Scuse me....I'll be back in about 2 minutes. I need to go rub one out.

That is so awesome. I have a hard time seeing the value in that for 190-240 bpd. But damn!

This is not an Alfa, sorry...but they're closely related.
And there are several Alfas that pop up in the background.
The video host is a giggling twit.
The production quality is very good.
The noises this car makes are fantastic...the gear whine, the shifter, the start-up.
Then he opens it up on the highway - you can almost imagine it at Le Mans.
Who exactly is Philip the driver? Is he a famous collector we should know about?

I found a pic of the car the same year - same Philip, same hat and jacket...

Probably if a guy were into this body style and not concerned about originality, it would be best to buy one of each and combine them.

[LateFan]

It's not a color I would have ever picked, but it looks so sharp here. Partly it's that clean original shape without all the body moldings added later, plus good wheel proportions.

People tell me that curved intake front is a real Alfetta GT - the GTV6 has a vertical, boxed shape at the valance.

I think that bump means it has a motor swap. Nicer than the big GTV6 ramp on the hood.

[flyboyx]

I'm kind of suspicious that that is a GTV6, completely stripped down and retrofitted to look like a euro Alfetta GT. It's so clean, extremely clean. Also note big air intakes, 5-lug wheels, hood hump, etc. If so, they changed the hood, window trim, turn signals, lights, grille, bumper, maybe the rear valance......

I'll see if I can find out.

i don't love the off white color, but that car is so well done. it is almost everything i would want that car to be. except for a 24v 164 engine of course.


i wonder what it would look like with m3 style boxed fenders?

Sure is same Swiss tag's. That car is great looking, not a fan of the base models but that car pulls it off well.

<EDIT> I think that's the same car from post 1651....

[LateFan]

Wow, I talked with Al Leake on the phone a long time ago about spare parts. Nice guy, sweet car.

The NW guy is Doc Doolittle, with a '59 Giulietta Spider race car.

M-technik-3: Wow, good looking Alfetta! I like that a lot. I've never seen that 3-piece Ronal wheel with the angled vents. Mystery hood bump - not an Alfetta, not a GTV6...I wonder if that's custom to fit a V6 under there.

Nice car.
