I restored one of these back in the early 90s. I bought it for a $1000 - a stripped shell, an engine on a stand, a whole stack of large parts, and boxes and boxes of smaller bits! It was white with a mangled grey interior as purchased, and white with gorgeous tan upholstery when finished. It was bloody lovely, and a pleasure to drive. It had mild cams, headwork, headers, and rejetted Webers. It redlined at 7000rpm and was bags of fun. Ended up changing careers, and exporting it to Japan, and started a landscaping business with the proceeds. A very pragmatic and sensible decision that served me well, that I still emotionally regret on some level to this day. And the prices they fetch these days are slightly eyewatering! Yours is an absolute delight - love the originality in either end, and love the interior too. I personally reckon original would have been the go there too, but hey, its not my car! 🙂 You could go for a swim in that paint - magnificent!
Yeah. 😊 We just spent a bucket load on house renovations, so it's only money we don't have! Hope you get the price you are looking for. What is the price you are looking for out of interest? I butt out if you wanna keep that private 👌
Brings back many fond memories of my 1600 GTV bought off a wholesaler for AUD$700.00 back in the 70's. A glorious little car that served me well after a very small amount of work to get it on the road. Still regret selling it. This one an absolute picture - well done and thank you for posting.
Beautiful car! I also have a 67 GTV here in the UK. I had exhaust gases in the car, I checked the exhaust over and over, no leaks. I suspected the boot lid seal so I taped it off, no difference. In the end it turned out to be the foam seal behind the rear lights. I made thicker seals out of some black yoga matt; it worked a treat, no more exhaust gas!
Congratulations! Amazingly beautiful car!!! I overlooked this video. I guess a happy new owner is driving this car with a smile on his/her face🍀 I’m looking forward to starting your new project!
Well done. The car came out really well. I've still got to start on my 64 step nose. I bought it from a scrapyard here in South Africa. Front and rear has the most damage and it looks like it's from being dragged around. Unfortunately no original engine but I have a 1750 which was in my son's 74 GT Junior but he has his original motor so that will go back into his car.
@michaelengels2514 thank you. Good thing is these cars can be brought back from the dead with some old school body work and new panels from the UK. The 1750 motors are just wonderful and well worth rebuilding. Sounds like a great project.💪🏻
Congratulations on getting her back on the road. You've taken a great approach with your practical decisions on replace/restore and have come up with a beautiful restoration. Inspiration indeed for finally getting on to my own 1967 GT Veloce which has been in my garage in Sydney in pieces for over 30 years!
@robertdoohan612 thank you. Start the process of getting yourself back together and it will flow from there. Take stock in the fact that a lot of the work can be done intuitively and the technical bits can be done by professionals. Go for it.💪🏻😀
Congratulations on a job done very well! Nice to see it finished, although I will miss following the build. I’m hoping you’ll be hopping into your next one soon?
@alastairwatson3201 thank you very much. Might take some time to get a couple of the others roadworthy and do some maintenance before we start the next one.😆
Looking really stunning! You did a great job on the restoration. Personnaly I would have preferred the original pattern seat coverings, but then it is your car. As far as clearances go on the tappets, we generally go for 0.3mm intake and exhaust here in South Africa, with no ill effect at all, even on race engines with very narrow valve seat contact area. Makes for a really nice, quiet head. I have not burned a valve in 33 years of classic Alfa motoring. Enjoy your beautiful car.
Congratulations on a wonderful restoration - a car that should please a potential Alfa owner. Regarding the tappets, the noise emitted suggests thay may need readjustment once you completed the running-in phase.
Amazing job. Congratulations on the work & the videos. You mentioned in one of your videos that you had the glove box inner 3D printed. I'm after the same thing for my dashboard. Can you tell me if l can arrange this from you?
@user-pz4cd1tw1g thank you 😊. We managed to 3D print one tub however weren't that happy with it in the final production. At this point I wouldn't be comfortable "selling" the tubs. Possibly in the future if we get the printing to a better standard.
@spiceboysconti301 thank you. Given the less than structured approach by the Italians in the day there may be no difference 🤣. Having said that my daily driver has the deeper rear arches and its supposedly a 67 as well. I think there were some blurred lines in production dates and RHD export models may have been treated differently...who knows😆. All part of the charm I guess.
Well done, I'm sure you're over the moon with the end result! I overwhelmed with the amount of finishing work left to do on my Junior!
@raisingjunior6389 thank you. Your efforts are amazing and I can't wait to see the end result. 😃💪🏻
@@AlfaAddicts thank you so much we are making a video on headliner installation, looking forward to see your next project make progress :)

@burgundyexpress thank you, and yes the rear light seals on these cars are average to say the least 🤣
I cant wait to get my restoration started, hopefully in the new year 1969 1300 gt
@yoesomite2199 awesome, you will be rewarded throughout the process and especially at the end
This is peak 105 for me. What a magnificent, tasteful job. Encouraging that this can be achieved in Aus- bodes well for my GT Junior.
@@youremostwelcome don't be afraid you can do lot of work yourself 😀

@onboro_alfa_SGL thank you for joining us on this journey and we appreciate your positive spirit.
if it runs as great as it looks....it'S a beauty......one of the best looking sportscars from the 60s.....

Very tasteful choice of stitching on seats and door cards.
What size of rims they? Have you used spacers?
@AlfaRomeoFenomeno thank you 😊. The rims are a 15"GTA rims from Alfaholics in the UK. Spacers not used.

nice car but 15" wheels always look all wrong to me
@angi733 thank you, the 15" steel wheels were standard on this model.
