10k: GTV6 Powered: 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta

The Alfa Romeo Alfetta (tipo 116) was released in 1972 as a replacement for the Giulia based 1750 Berlina, even though a slightly larger sedan with the Berlina name (the 2000) was produced concurrently with the Alfetta.  Although Giuseppe Scarnati designed the original Giulia sedan, and the 1750 Berlina was a Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone design, the Alfetta fell back into Scarnati's lap and he created something much more modern looking that bares a strikingly resemblance to the E12 BMW 5-series.  TL;DR version: A bunch of Italian guys designed some cars.  Find this 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta with GTV6 power offered for $9,700 in Kenmore, WA via craigslist.  Tip from Gianni

15k: Trade For Milling Machine: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider

 The Giulietta Spider was a compact roadster built by Alfa Romeo from 1955 to 1965, styled by legendary design house Pininfarina.  The Spider is a classic by any definition and finding any example that isn't rusted to pieces for under $20k is rare.  Find this 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider offered for $16,500 somewhere in Canada via craigslist.  Tip from Fueltruck.

15k: Seller Submission: 1973 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 Super

The Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 super should not be confused with the larger 1750 Berlina.  Although they shared many components and styling, the 1750 Berlina rides on a longer wheelbase and isn't as fun in the curves.  The Giulia 1300 on the other hand was the spiritual predecessor to fun sport sedans like the BMW 1600/2000/2002 and Datsun 510 - and combined a lightweight chassis with an eager engine.  Find this 1973 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 Super offered for $16,000 in Pensacola, FL via craigslist.  Seller submission from Josh T.

5k: St Patrick's Day: 1995 Alfa Romeo 164 Quadrifoglio

Saint Patrick was born somewhere in 5th century Roman occupied Britian (England or Scotland based on various sources) and spent a few years in captivity as a young man to Irish pirates, before returning as an adult and missionary to the emerald isle.  It is ironic, therefore, that the patron saint of Ireland isn't even Irish.  What better way to segue into a St Patrick's day special that also isn't Irish.  Find this 1995 Alfa Romeo 164 Quadrifoglio for sale in Signal Hill, CA currently bidding for $4,050 reserve-not-met with 6 days to go.

10k: Cool Italian: 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT


The Alfa Romeo Alfetta (tipo 116) was built from 1972 to 1987 as a sedan and cool looking fastback coupe.  The Alfetta still lives in a no-man's-land between worn out new car and rising classic, but this one falls closer to the classic in condition.  Find this 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT for sale in Wethersfield, CT for $9,500 via craigslist.  Tip from BigEgyptian.
