ALFA ROMEO 1974 GTV IN VERY GOOD TO VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION. MILEAGE 51,237 RED WITH BLACK INTERIOR. SERIAL NUMBER AR 3025606 MANUFACTURING DATE 10 / 74. CURRENT OWNER HAS OWNED SINCE 1977. THIS GTV HAS HAD A GOOD, WELL CARED FOR LIFE BUT NOT NECESSARILY A PAMPERED LIFE. IT HASN'T BEEN ABUSED . ALWAYS GARAGED. IT IS A GOOD " DRIVER " BUT NOT A SHOW CAR. CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PIPER YELLOW AND WAS REPAINTED RED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. PAINT JOB WAS / IS GOOD BUT THE CAR WAS NOT STRIPPED TO BARE METAL THUS THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS STILL THE ORIGINAL YELLOW. ALSO IN SOME AREAS THE RED PAINT HAS FLAKED OFF AND YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL YELLOW. THE ABOVE AREAS ARE MAINLY UNDER THE BONNET / HOOD AND UNDER THE TRUNK LID. BODY APPEARS TO HAVE ORIGINAL ROCKER PANELS , INNER SILLS AND FLOORS. TRUNK FLOOR AND SPARE TIRE WELL AND REAR QUARTER PANELS ARE IN GOOD PLUS CONDITION AND ORIGINAL. THERE IS SOME MINOR RUST BLISTERS AROUND WINDSHIELD BOTTOM. PLEASE SEE PICTURES. CHROME TRIM AROUND GLASS IS IN FAIR PLUS TO GOOD PLUS CONDITION. BUMPERS ARE VERY GOOD PLUS TO EXCELLENT. INTERIOR IS ORIGINAL BLACK. DASHBOARD IS ORIGINAL AND IN VERY GOOD PLUS TO EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY CRACKS . DOOR AND REAR PANELS ARE ORIGINAL AND IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION. FRONT SEATS HAVE SOME MINOR RIPS AND TEARS AND SHOULD BE REUPHOLSTERED / RESTORED. REAR SEATS ARE ORIGINAL AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. HEADLINER IS ORIGINAL AND IN EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION. IT ORIGINALLY HAD FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING BUT THE A.C. COMPRESSOR AND MOUNTING HARDWARE ARE MISSING. FAN / BLOWER - ALL 3 SPEEDS WORK FINE SO THERE IS A HEATER . CAR DRIVES VERY WELL. ORIGINAL SPICA F.I. GEARBOX WORKS FINE 2ND GEAR WHEN COLD I CAN FEEL A SLIGHT BIT OF WEAR WHEN SHIFTING BUT WHEN WARM THAT CONDITION DISAPPEARS. SOME DRIVERS MAY NOT EVEN NOTICE . REVERSE ALSO WORKS FINE. THE CAR HAS HAS BEEN SERVICED IN THE PAST AT KNAUZ , LAKE FOREST SPORTSCARS AND ITALIA AUTOMOBILI. KNAUZ WAS AT ONE TIME THE OLDEST ALFA DEALER IN THE U.S. AND CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BEST. LAKE FOREST SPORTSCARS IS AN EXCELLENT FERRARI AND MASERATI DEALER. ITALIA AUTOMOBILI IS MY SHOP IN NORTHBROOK ILL. 60062. I BELIEVE I HAVE SERVICED THE CAR SINCE THE MID 90'S. THERE ARE SERVICE RECORDS DATING BACK TO 1977 WHEN THE CURRENT OWNER BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM KNAUZ. I REPLACED THE FRONT TIE ROD ENDS AND LOWER BALL JOINTS AT 50,876 MI. IN APRIL 2010. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE DRIVESHAFT SUPPORT , BEARING AND FLEX JOINT AND HAD THE RADIATOR RECORED / RESTORED AND BOTH MOTOR MOUNTS. THE OWNER HAS PUT VERY LITTLE MILES / USE ON THESE REPAIRS. BUT IT NEEDS NEW TIRES. THE TIRES ON IT ARE OLD MICHELINS AND THE REARS DO NOT MATCH THE FRONT. THUS I WOULD RECOMMEND HAVING THE CAR TRANSPORTED BY TRAILER RATHER THAN DRIVING ANY DISTANCE GREATER THEN 200 - 300 MILES. CAR IS OPEN TO ANY INSPECTION . THIS IS REALLY A VERY GOOD GTV AND WITH THE FRONT SEATS RESTORED AND THE TIRES REPLACED IT COULD BE EVEN BETTER. PLEASE REVIEW ALL PICTURES AND MY EBAY FEEDBACK. I HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO DO BUSINESS IN A STRAIGHTFORWARD HONEST MANNER. PLEASE EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR BETTER CALL ME. 847 - 480 - 8980 M - F 10 AM - 8 PM CST. OR LEAVE A MESSAGE ANYTIME AND I WILL RETURN THE CALL. THE OWNER DOESN'T REALLY DRIVE THE CAR MUCH ANYMORE SO HE FEELS IT IS TIME TO SELL IT AND LET THE NEW OWNER ENJOY IT. SO HE HAS ASKED ME TO SELL IT FOR HIM. I HAVE OWNED AND SERVICED ALFA ROMEOS SINCE 1968. PAYMENT TERMS ARE CASHIER'S / BANK CHECK , CASH AT TIME OF PICK UP OR BANK WIRE TRANSFER. I CAN RECOMMEND A TRANSPORTER IF NEEDED. TRANSPORTATION COSTS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER. I WILL ACCOMODATE THE TRANSPORTING / PICK UP AS BEST AS I CAN INCLUDING BEING AVAILABLE ON WEEKENDS. CAR IS SOLD WITH NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. AGAIN PLEASE EMAIL OR CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS.
