Really nice photos! I like the 'spread' of Alfas you have there.
We have an almost identical GTV (to the one in the first photo) here in Hampton Roads area...it's dark blue with no bumpers, Panasport 15X7 wheels with 205/50-15 tires, a hot-rod engine (too much to list here!), lowered sport suspension, a custom interior and drilled and slotted brakes. That's one mean-machine!
But...where's Sarah and her beautiful Spider?
Thanks for sharing

if you go to www.alfaimportcenter.com
or more specifically http://alfaimportcenter.com/alfa_import_center_030.htm
you can see more of our cars that turned up for the wine tasting tour which was a LOT of fun! My car (only green on there) is pre restoration. Next year it'll be more prominent.

Very confrontational Kai. "Imitation GTV?" Does a 64 import (far more rare than a 67) with veloce cams and twin webers qualify as imitation? Or is it more important to have a faux wood grain dash and three chrome strips on the grill? Alfas, son, are about driving. When you come to NY, you're welcome to drive my "imitation" GTV and you can decide for yourself.

Who has the very clean Niki Lauda 78 Spider? Does anyone know what if anything internally differed from the regular 78? Nice group of cars. The GTV is extremely sharp.
Best Regards,
John M

I know the beautiful white one is a '79 Same year as mine. That's Danny's car and he just got a nice new paint job too!

 I was only poking fun. You have certainly slung enough to have gotten under people's skin. You can dish it out but can't take it?
I know Alfas are about the driving. When referring to older Alfas though, IMO authenticity is important. If I drop a 2-liter in my GTV I would be adding to its prowess yet taking away from its authenticity. I personally would not add emblems to make it look like another model. But that's must me.

Regarding loosen up and dishing but not taking, review my posts and you'll notice that I never dished out anything personal to anyone. Any comments that were negative were always aimed at BMW and perhaps their owners. In addition, I had to point out to Etceterini that a true Alfisti is not picking a Korean toaster over an Alfa that is in immaculate condition. And finally, I must reiterate that my car has the original and correct 1600cc engine and drivetrain (albeit rebuilt). I agree that dropping a 2 liter in should be reserved for race cars and not for driving classics, which is what I think most of us aspire to. And lastly, lastly, I'm sure that you'll notice that never have I once pointed out the weaknesses of your car to you, with the exception of the Ford "Galaxy" antenna, which you initially pointed out. So, in conclusion, the general is filled only with love for mankind and all other alfisti and is secure enough with himself and his Alfa's to be complementary and to wish nothing but peace and love for the entire Alfa world. I'll accept your apology in advance and ask that we only belittle the weenie 3 series of the world.

By the way, the beautiful Blue GTV belongs to a local and national board of director, GT. In addition, GT has a Milano Verde (in red, equally stunning).
