Alfetta Gt stocks are rising

[Evan Bottcher]

105's are seen in the wider community as more iconic Alfa's.

I don't think that is universal, and i think it'll change over time. If I say I own a GTV to an enthusiast under 40, they usually think I mean an Alfetta GTV. The Alfetta was common on the roads and within aspirational reach when they were younger. I always wanted one, and would quite like to acquire one now (need more storage first!). I didn't discover the 105s until I'd already had a couple of Alfas.

The GTV6 was the first car I ever dreamed about owning when I was about 12 in the early 80s, after our family doctor bought a brand new one.

So for me, that shape has pretty much always defined Alfa Romeo.

If Alfa Romeo can get these new vehicles [4C is ticking boxes, Giulia?] right, we may well see an elevated regard for the marque & a new found desire for the 'classics'?!?!?!?
Just like Maserati.

Possibly so but in a way we both make the point of my post: We both admire 116 GT/GTV's but we both own (non-functioning) 105 GTV's.

Watching this one with interest. I have not seen it and do not know its condition, looks ok from the pics.

Just my two cents worth but when I was looking for something to restore and look after I couldn't believe I could get a car like my 82 gtv for the price I got it for.
There were cars from the seventies and early eighties that were just junk and not a patch on (Sophia) for style  ,performance  etc etc .
This is a car that right now if someone offered me double what I paid I'd think twice before selling her.

Yep they are best bargain sports car possibly in the world at the moment
Bang for buck its thru the roof
i think that particular car on ebay might even hit 6500-8500 its the right model being the rare 1.8 GT
and the one to restore in a around 5 years I personally believe nothing under 25K for a good one

FYI The alfetta GT is no longer desirable as a group S racer. Recent rule changes mean the GT must use the original 1.8 donk, no upgrading to the 2.0L
Since 95 when I got my first gtv6 I have had around 10 alfetta's through my hands. Me like some of you, had some experience when young that ingrained that shape into my mind that never wavered, still not to this day.  I have always kept a close eye on prices, mainly on the gtv6 and could never understand how such an awesome car was never increasing in value. From when I paid 12.5k in 95 there was no increase in prices till 2012/13. You can say they decreased because of inflation, but now you can see them edging north. The 2.0L was not my focus till 2007 when i was getting involved with guys in group S. I will go out on a limb here and suggest that group S racing is partly responsible for the increase in value of early alfettas. I remember they were dirt cheap a bit before i started looking and when I bought around 2012 at 3k, that was the last time i saw a decent steel bumper alfetta for the money.At this time there was around 10 competing in group S. My reasoning for this claim is, why would an alfetta owner purchase an older version over the later model if not for the racing aspect. It is basically the same car with the later model having a superior body with regards to corrosion protection and marginally better quality interior, granted you can argue the chrome.
The relative cheap pricing has allowed us to indulge whereas the increasing prices will hopefully reach a level where they will be a viable restorable model

Rising values are a free kick when you want to sell and a penalty when you want to buy. Montreal's are fetching upwards of $150k overseas  for top quality cars.  There out of my reach so i'll never own one. this one is priceless he wont sell it

That one annoys me. I tried to pry it out of his hands too but no luck. If someone ever does, send them my way as I need parts off it for my project!

[bazzbazz]

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

Evan, your not being facetious by chance?
