As has been discussed exhaustively right here, the Alfetta GT is a pretty good weekend touring car. However, there were complaints from when it was new about the level of power. And the Alfa Romeo GTV6 has some styling updates that were modern in the 1980s, but some now find those choices questionable. So you prefer the aesthetics of the earlier car, but the power of the later car? Well, there’s a solution for you – this 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT V6, for sale in Wethersfield, CT for $2500.
If you are a regular visitor here, you’re no stranger to Alfa Romeo Alfettas. Where other older Alfa Romeos that were once affordable are now accelerating from the reach of most casual enthusiasts looking for fun on a budget, the Alfettas are still attainable. And while some aspects of maintenance and repair can be painful, and their reputation is problematic, as a weekend toy and occasional driver they can be quite useful. You can find this 1976 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT in Victoria, TX for $1500 with no bids and 5 days left, or in the classified listings for $1500.
Today we’re reaching a minor milestone with our 300th post. And to celebrate, it seemed most appropriate to find something that is represented in the RustyButTrusty fleet. Alfa Romeo Alfettas are few and far between, particularly on the road, so it’s always interesting to see others available. Mostly, these are west coast cars, but in this case someone in New Jersey was actually able to keep the rust worm from doing too much damage to the body. So if you’re in the Northeast, this may be a worth candidate for a fix-in-winter, drive-next-summer car. You can find today’s 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT for sale in Orange, NJ for a mere $1300.
