UP FOR AUCTION IS A WELL SORTED AND NICELY RESTORED GTV. THIS IS A 1968 PRODUCTION GTV. SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW THAT ALFA DID NOT OFFER ANY CARS TO THE AMERICAN MARKET IN 1968. THIS CAR WAS SOLD NEW IN PARIS FRANCE AND WAS BROUGHT TO THE STATES IN THE EARLY 2000'S. THE CAR UNDERWENT A COMPLETE RESTORATION IN 2005. THE WORK INCLUDED UPGRADES AND IMPROVEMENTS ALONG THE WAY TO MAKE THE CAR ENJOYABLE WITHOUT DETRACTING FROM ITS ORIGINALITY. THE WORK WAS DONE TO ENHANCE ITS PERFORMANCE AND DRIVABILITY AND GIVE IT THE NECESSARY PROTECTION TO EXTEND ITS SERVICE LIFE FOR YEARS TO COME. THE FOLLOWING IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE RESTORATION WORK: - BODY WORK: - THE GTV WAS STRIPPED DOWN. THE BODY WAS THEN INSPECTED AND REPAIRED PROFESSIONALLY AS NEEDED. IT WAS THEN PRIMED AND PAINTED SILVER. (ORIGINAL COLOR WAS WHITE) - FRESH UNDERCOATING WAS APPLIED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BODY TO PROTECT IT FROM THE ELEMENTS AND FLYING ROCKS. - ALL FOUR JACKING POINTS ARE INTACT. - ALL MOLDING, METAL PARTS AND BUMPERS WERE POLISHED TO LOOK LIKE NEW. - TWO NEW OUTSIDE CHROME MIRRORS WITH ALFA LOGO. - MECHANICALS: - ENGINE: 1750 STRIPPED DOWN, CLEANED AND REBUILT. - WEBER SIDE DRAFT CARBURETORS. - GEARBOX: REBUILT - NEW CLUTCH DISK AND THROW-OUT BEARING INSTALLED. - GOOD CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER PERMITS CLEAN SHIFTS. - SUSPENSION: HANDLES AND TRACKS WELL - BRAKES: CALIPERS PAINTED RED AND IN GOOD SHAPE - INTERIOR: - DASH: IT IS NEAR PERFECT WITH ONE SMALL SPIDER CRACK IN THE UPPER LEFT DRIVERS SIDE - SEATS: ALL FRONT AND REAR SEATS WERE REMOVED AND COMPLETELY RECOVERED (NOT JUST FORWARD FACING) WITH NEW MATERIAL. THIS ENHANCEMENT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE COMFORT, DRIVABILITY AND VALUE OF THE CAR. - CARPET: REPLACED AND IN NICE SHAPE - THE HEADLINER WAS REPLACED - DOOR PANELS: ALL DOOR PANELS AND REAR SIDE PANELS ARE GREAT - ALL LIGHTS AND BLINKERS ETC. WORK WELL - THE GTV WAS FITTED WITH A WONDERFULLY COLD AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. - HEATER AND BLOWER WORK WELL - SINGLE CD PLAYER - WHEEL AND TIRES: A MATCHING SET OF (4) PANASPORT 14X6 WHEELS WITH YOKOHAMA TIRES THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES VERY WELL. THE PAINT IS NOT PERFECT WITH SOME FLAWS INCLUDING SOME VERY SMALL BUBBLES AND IMPERFECTIONS. OVERALL THE CAR LOOKS GREAT.
