My '74 GTV is for sale at British Sportscars in San Luis Obispo ( britishsportscars.com ) for $39,999. It's a very nice rust free and accident-free driver with factory AC and a nice set of period Cromodoras. The reason it isn't listed for $10-15 more is that it has a salvage title due to some bad advice given to a previous owner by someone at the DMV many years ago when the owner donated the car to a charity. If you are looking for a great deal on a really nice driver, it would be hard to find better value.

FYI, the price has been dropped to $35,995. This is a very solid and straight GTV in nice driver condition. You would be hard pressed to find another in this condition for anywhere near the price. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Dang it! Timing is everything. This is exactly the car I want to have as a companion to my spider. I have no issues with owning a salvage title car either but until my spider is done, Justifying another toy won't fly
. If someone is willing to fork over$14,000 for a project GTV I would think mid 30's would be quite fair for yours.
Cheers

Just a reminder that this is still available. Keep in mind that it is rust free and shows no accident damage. It looks nice, runs great and will get you anywhere you want to go in very nice style. The title is due to bad advise from the DMV, not from anything that happened to the car. You won't find another anywhere as good in this price range.
The salvage title was due to a previous owner, many years ago, being advised by a California DMV numnutz that it should be scrapped before being donated to a local charity. The PO tried to reverse it after finding out that the advice was incorrect, but no luck. The supporting paperwork is included with the car. The charity had some minor work done to the car and sold it. Does that answer your question?
The sunroof is a matter of great consternation to a few Alfa fans because there is very little documentation about them. The consensus seems to be that the Alfa dealer network worked with one of the major sunroof companies (Webasto?) to have them installed when they arrived in the US. The fit is very much factory looking, and it works well. The sunroof panel fits perfectly with the profile of the roof, and functions as if it was designed by the factory. There are several around and the construction is consistently high quality. This one is electric. Some are manual. It is a nice addition to have. I believe there were a couple other European cars that had a similar option available to US consumers. There are a few threads on GTV sunroofs here on Alfabb.
The best thing about this car is the value. Clean, rust free and great looking GTV that runs and drives very well for a lot less than a comparable car that doesn't have the word "salvage" in a small box on the pink slip. Some states don't include salvage info on the title, and neither do most European countries. So, if it goes to many different states or oversees, the title would be clear.
The car does have a recently redone cylinder head and valves, as well as an overhauled suspension and new shocks.
Feel free to follow up with other questions.

Title washing is illegal...salvage shouldn’t deter anybody if the car is a nice as it sounds. Get a PPI & be happy
