This 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce (chassis AR244606) appears to be in excellent condition throughout, is claimed to be rust free, and benefits from a rebuilt 1600 twin-cam with less than 19k accumulated since completion. These stepnose cars are our favorite iteration of Alfa’s Tipo 105 bodystyle, and this particular example looks great in Rosso on Nero over 14″ GTA reps. It isn’t for the originality freaks, and that custom fuel filler is a bit unusual, but this is a very clean looking car otherwise. Find it here at De Laveaga Motors in Santa Cruz, California for $45,900.

​Bodywork appears to be in very nice shape with good paint, trim and panel fit, and though not the most imaginative color for an old Alfa, Rosso always looks right on these cars. The engine bay and inner panels would seem to suggest that red is the car’s factory color, but condition and omitted history in the ad strongly hint at a prior restoration—originality is just too big a selling factory to skip. Those enamel four leaf clover badges are among our all time favorites regardless of make, model or era, and black California plates might be YOM so the documentation should be checked to see how long they have been with the car.

​The interior matches the cleanliness of the rest of the car, with taught, nice fitting vinyl seat covers, carpets and nicely-preserved veneers, gauges, and switchgear. The dash houses what appears to be a factory issue radio, and the fat rimmed, small diameter three spoke steering wheel might be a MOMO or Personal. The massive dash speaker is the only demerit here, and we’d remove it and add new vinyl up there to smooth it out.

​Rebuilt by Phil’s Foreign Car Service of Santa Cruz in 2008, the 1600 twin-cam is said to have accumulated less than 19k miles since work was finished. An Optima red-top battery is a nice touch, and we like how it’s been de-stickered for a more sanitary look. Maintenance and repair history aren’t mentioned, but the third owner who traded it in sounds like an enthusiast, leaving a good chance that records are available upon request.

​We’re willing to forgive much of the ad’s informative shortcomings, seeing as the selling dealer is more accustomed to working with high end late model stuff. If we were in the market for another stepnose, this one would be high on the list based on cosmetic presentation alone, and provided it’s mechanicals match the looks we think it could be a winner.
