Excellent presentation, beautiful GTV! 1969 US delivery cars (and I assume Canadian cars as well) all had the twin-brake servo setup and is correct and are original for this car. Having a dual-circuit system was a new 1969 DOT requirement, and this was Alfa's one-year solution to meet that. There were no 1970-year Alfas imported, and 1971 brought the simpler unified dual-circuit servo. GLWTA!
The clovers on the rear pillars should be gold over white. The park brake handle is missing the black plastic end grip. It’s a shame the Spica has been removed for a carb conversion. Once properly set up the Spica is nearly bulletproof other than the thermostatic actuator every 30,000 miles or so. It’s a smooth and reliable injection system on arguably the smoothest Alfa Nord engine. The two liter never felt as nice IMHO. I always enjoyed turning on the key and the nice little buzz from the fuel pump until the fuel pressure light went out. Then the car would start right up and idle perfectly. It’s a plus the twin Bonaldi boosters are still present. The rest of the car looks pretty good. The one I owned had Klippan style seat belts. Mine was 69’US Ochre/black. These cars are under appreciated to my mind. Very involving and enjoyable to drive.
