This looks like a great opportunity to acquire a two owner 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV that’s lived in California its entire life. It was stored for 17 years before the current owner bought it 2 years ago from some one in San Francisco. It can be found in Santa Monica, CA on EBay, bidding is up to $12,599.99 with Reserve not met.

The seller claims the car is in good working order, has new rear tires, drives and shifts well. The paint (which we’re told is an original color) and interior have been restored and look to be quite nice. After such a period of sitting it’s likely that a lot more than the rear tires will need replacing, it will undoubtedly need some bugs worked out. However, as it’s currently drivable, you’ll likely have to spend some time and money fixing things that break with age but it should be a complete sink. It may be as simple as fitting some new hoses, brake lines, and other perishables, in addition to a tune-up, most of which can be done by a shade-tree mechanic.

We appreciate the sellers honest approach in the ad, even if his photographs aren’t the best. It’s nice to see when folks put their phone number in EBay ads, we never understood why that’s so atypical. Anyway, find this rare-colored GTV for sale here.
