White Elephant – 1976 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT

November 21, 2015

As a writer, it’s a privilege to be able to highlight any particular model of car, especially ones that are overlooked by most enthusiasts. Frequent readers will know the Alfetta GT provided a lot of inspiration for this site, and as a result each one within the self-imposed price ceiling is featured here. Of course, sometimes that means featuring white elephant cars – unrecoverable projects, or cars for sale from owners who have an overinflated idea of their value. A good example of such a situation is today’s feature car – check out this 1976 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT for sale for $3495 in Boise, ID.

Due Alfetti – 1979 Alfa Romeo Sprint Veloce and 1977 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV

October 23, 2015

In the name of keeping the faith alive, here’s another pair of Alfetta coupes. Wonderfully balanced, overlooked, blah blah blah… you’ve heard it all here before. As much as shiny paint isn’t a priority here, it’s fun to see how, after years and years of the Alfetta being a beater, a clean body and shiny paint do wonders to bring out the curves and creases in the body. And suddenly, your coupe turns from a little Datsun B210 that goes faster than it should into an unusual car featuring lines shared with some of the most famous 1970s exotics. Okay, a bit of hyperbole there, but you get the general idea. And here are a couple of attainable examples – first, let’s look at this 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT for sale for $3000 in Daly City, CA.

Happy Canada Day! – 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta Sedan

July 1, 2015

Just in time for the last couple of hours of Canada Day, we have a car in Canada that won’t be much of a surprise to frequent readers. However, most practical Alfa Romeos (if there is such a thing) in the snowbelt haven’t survived 35 winters unscathed, which is why it’s a surprise when you find one up there. Of course, thanks to the internet, cars move around a lot more, but usually those are the more popular models like convertibles and coupes. Hopefully someone else in Ontario will be thrilled to find a rare bit of North American Alfa Romeo history – check out this 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta Sedan for sale for $3500 in Keswick, ON.
