My local rad guy, a car collector himself, looked at an original GTV rad this fall and commented the original type of core is not available here (North America). They can adapt some other type of tube/fin combination, but may not offer maximum cooling performance.
Original Alfa rads had substantial cooling capacity, hardly ever overheated when everything was in shape.
I should hope that for $800 I would not get one of those!
Should I need a new rad (and my 1974 rad tested perfectly fine during my visit at the rad shop), my preference would be to get it recored locally. But then, I have a rad guy I trust 5 minutes from home.
