74 ALFA GTV 2000 EURO SPEC WEBERS AC RESTORED

Description

1974 ALFA ROMEO GTV 2000 EURO SPEC that was completely restored by RED LINE to AS NEW CONDITION about 8 years ago
ORIGINAL NEVADA CAR WITH FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
I had always wanted one of these classic Alfa Romeos in my collection, but in a garage of V8s and V12s racking-up 2-3,000 mi/year each, this one just never really caught my heart as expected, and has added under 300 mi in well over a year. So, it's time for it to make room for something else. Since its purchase, it's been retuned for US gasoline, oversights corrected, and new window/door/gas filler gaskets acquired, to bring it closer to how it was originally represented to me. It passed its 2016 inspection in March.
Picks: Some denting around driver's door handle, two small dents in rear bumper, hood could use finish sanding, or even repaint to remove prepaint sanding marks, in MY opinion.

Clean Texas title in handOver $35,000 was spent to restore this GTV, but bear in mind that although it was stripped to metal, is an 8+ year old restoration on a 42 year old car, so wear, tear, imperfections under the paint surfacing, and leaks are to be expected.
Yes, some of you may remember this car from when a friend listed it for me late last year. Since then, my father was diagnosed with late-stage cancer, passing away in mid-April, so priorities have been elsewhere (and still are). It’s just time for this car to go, as I’m in the midst of clearing and sorting lots of other things.
