The 1750 GT Veloce (GTV) arrived in 1967 as a significant update to Alfa Romeo's 105 Series coupe lineup. It replaced the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce and introduced a larger 1779cc twin-cam inline-4 engine. This new motor provided a welcome boost in torque, making the car more flexible for daily driving. Bertone updated the Giorgetto Giugiaro design with a new quad-headlight nose, a cleaner grille, and a revised interior with a new dashboard and seats, creating a more mature look than the earlier 'step-front' models.
Collectors often consider the 1750 GTV the sweet spot of the entire 105/115 Series coupe range. It blends the delicate styling cues of the early cars with performance that nears the later, larger-engined 2000 GTV. The car's excellent balance, responsive handling, and evocative engine note make it one of the most rewarding driver's cars of its era. It represents a high point for Alfa Romeo, delivering a pure, analog driving experience that's hard to find in modern vehicles.
The market for the 1750 GTV is mature, with an average price hovering around $43,000. Values are heavily dependent on condition, originality, and history. The wide spread in sales prices reflects the vast difference between rusty project cars and professionally restored, concours-quality examples. Well-documented, rust-free cars consistently fetch top dollar, as buyers are willing to pay a premium to avoid the high cost of rust repair.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest enemy of any 105 Series Alfa. Carefully inspect the floors, rocker panels, front and rear valances, wheel arches, and the areas around the front and rear glass.
- The twin-cam Nord engine is robust, but check for consistent service history. Blue smoke on overrun suggests worn valve stem seals, while timing chain noise indicates it's due for a replacement.
- Test the gearbox thoroughly. The synchromesh on 2nd gear is a known weak point, so check for crunching when shifting, especially when the gearbox oil is cold.
- Suspension bushings wear out, leading to vague handling. Check for perished rubber throughout the suspension and listen for clunks over bumps.
- Verify the car's originality. The 1750 GTV has specific interior trim, seats, and dashboard details that are often replaced with incorrect parts from later 2000 GTV models. Correct cars are more valuable.
Prices for the 1750 GTV range from around $2,200 for project cars to over $115,000 for professionally restored examples.
