Turbo Nord- 1976 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT

The Type 116 Alfa Romeos broke new ground when introduced with the new transaxle layout.  The clutch and transmission were housed at the rear of the car with the differential for better balanced weight distribution.   The Italian cancer (rust) has done in many of these cars by 2018.  Today's example is very far from a beauty queen, but it has a very note worthy period turbo kit installed.  Jafco and Shankle made bolt on turbo kits for the 2.0 Nord engine back in the 1980's, but the one in this car is different than either of those.  No amount of internet sleuthing could help me figure out who produced this particular kit.  Find this 1976 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT for sale in New Milford, CT for $6,500 via craigslist.

White Lights: 1981 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV6

The Alfa Romeo Type 116 Coupe was technically known as the Alfetta GT, but a 6-cylinder version introduced in 1981 was called the GTV6...and that name stuck, at least with the coupe body style.  If you want a classic car from the 80s that has the balance of Baryshnikov and a baritone howling voice --go get a GTV6.  Find this 1981 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV6 offered for $6,500 in Burlingame, CA via craigslist.  Tip from Safety Fast.
