Italian Week: 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000

I've loved the idea of owning an Alfa GTV for...I dunno...as long as I can remember driving or riding in cars. Fortunately, or unfortunately, they have been affordable over the years and I've not pulled the trigger, probably because I assumed they would always be affordable. Unfortunately, or fortunately, recent market activity has brought considerable price inflation to the price of most classic cars, particularly handsome Italian models, so if you want a GTV, you might need to settle for something with a gash or two on the side.

We admitted our weakness for the classic GTV in our rambling love post about Giugiaro's masterpiece and, of course, the tips started flowing in with more deliciously tempting Italian steel.  We can't remember seeing this much Italian sex for a bit over $10k since Silvio Berlusconi's last birthday bash, and a run over the white lines in this baby could also land you in prison...but that is another story.  Find this 1973 Alfa Romeo GTV for sale in Bozeman, MT.

15k: Rosebud: 1971 Alfa Romeo GTV

The Alfa Romeo GTV is one of those cars that is affordable and awesome enough to be on any vintage gear-head's bucket list.  I admit to be hook-line-and-sinker in love with the classic Giorgetto Giugiaro designed body and infatuated with the idea of an Italian sports coupe with an alloy engine screaming up to a 7000 rpm redline.  Understandably, each time a reasonably priced GTV passes under my nose, I have that 'rosebud' moment and mutter to myself..."one of these days I will have you."  Find this 1971 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce for sale in San Mateo, CA for $17,000 via craiglist.
