Alfetta Gt stocks are rising

[Italian Supermodel]

It's been pleasing to see the recent sales activity of two beautifully presented Alfetta GT's.
The first was the metallic olive green car sold by the Throttle Shop in Sydney for mid $20's I heard, the second being the red one advertised on this forum last week.a bargain at low teens.
   It's great to see recognition of the purist Alfetta coupe made imho and feel there's a growing appreciation for the ones that have survived unmolested,tin worm and group S heroics.

I think you are on the money finally the alfetta series is being understood
and appreciated .I constantly laugh when manufacturers quote 48/52% balance and
the amazing transaxle ,twin cam etc
the alfa had the perfect balance well before the world was interested
and i do believe all gt/gtv's will rise in price significantly in the next couple of years.

Group S heroics.....I'm so very sorry the significant amount of money I have tipped into my Alfetta, saving it from the crusher, and promoting the marque at racetracks around the country doesn't conform to your definition of survival.

I'm beginning to remember why I stopped coming to this forum.

I think group S has saved a lot of alfetta's that would have ended up on the scrap heap otherwise and with them racing has raised their profile and made them even more desirable.
Look at all the 105's that where in group S and look what they fetch now.
It's probably less likely to damage one on the track than on a public road with people who don't see cars as anything other than an appliance all around you.

I'm to scared to park my alfetta anywhere but in my garage, which is a bit sad really.

Mmmm, I would disagree with you on this one.  Want to see my scars (read: panel beater bills)!!!!!!!!!

[Evan Bottcher]

All those HUNDREDS of Alfetta GTs that have been butchered for Group S.  Oh the humanity!

[Fetta GTV]

It will be suds next that shouldn't be used for group S because they are so sought after😀

[Evan Bottcher]

I've already had 'feedback' from some quarters that I should not encourage people to put Suds and 33s on the race track because of the increasing rarity of these special cars. Hmm. You still can't give away a 33, and there are still loads of run-of-the-mill Suds parked up in sheds and worthless. Race cars are LOVED and cared for, and very well preserved. Neil aside, damage is quite rare. Less likely that a race car will get crushed than a street car will in my opinion.

HEREHERE Alfagtv58,Fettagtv and Evan well put and thanks--i have been stewing on this for a while to the point that i bought a 77 gtv last weekend(very rusty and dented)to get all the bits to convert my GT back to a road car but have found out QLD Transport wont allow full cages as of end of June last year in road going vehicles????so now i have everything to convert my GT to yes GROUP S-thanks to the realists

Neil aside, damage is quite rare.

hmmm is there a hidden message in 'them quotes'?

and Sud owners relax, Sud are not eligible for Group S.

Afetta coupes were always going to go up in value, just a question of when. Look at what has happened to the value of 240/260z Datsuns, and early RX-7s. And how many good alfetta coupes are really left? Not many.

I think group S has saved many of these cars as they get used and maintained. And I think it would be very easy to convert a group S car back to road use, it's not like sports sedan where little of the original car is left.

It's fun to look up http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk to see what's trending out of existence. Right hand drive 116's are getting harder and harder to get - and get parts for. If I had room, I'd fill a shed full of any 116 I could get my hands on right now.

(confession: I haz one, but I need moar).

[Paul Gulliver]

That's a great tool . Thanks .

Better tell Neil Choi the trend line for Toyota Camry's is also alarming in the UK.

[aggie57]

That's because they're all here!  BLOODY CAMRY's.  I've been waiting ages for a chance to say that again!

But back on thread, while I agree Alfetta GT's wil appreciate, particularly RHD and Euro spec LHD ones, they're still relatively easy to find in the U.S., in LHD Spica form of course, and I suspect they will always lag 105 coupes simply because the 105's are seen in the wider community as more iconic Alfa's.
