The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT (Type 105) debuted in 1963, replacing the beloved Giulietta Sprint. It featured a stunning new coupe body designed by a 22-year-old Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone. Under the hood was Alfa's advanced all-aluminum 1.6-liter twin-cam inline-4, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox and 4-wheel disc brakes, making it a sophisticated performer for its time. Early models from 1963-1967 are known by the nickname 'step-front' or 'scalino' due to the distinctive gap between the leading edge of the hood and the nose of the car.
Collectors are drawn to the Sprint GT for its beautiful proportions and fantastic driving experience. It's a car that blends style and performance in a way few contemporaries could match. The early 'step-front' models are the most desirable for their design purity before subsequent facelifts altered Giugiaro's original lines. They represent a significant piece of both Alfa Romeo and Bertone history, offering a more accessible alternative to Italian exotics from Ferrari or Maserati from the same period.
The market for the Sprint GT is broad, with an average transaction price around $40,000. The wide sale range shows that project cars can still be found at the low end, while perfectly restored or highly original examples fetch top dollar. As with many Italian cars of the era, condition is everything, and values are heavily influenced by the quality of restoration work and the car's provenance.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest issue; thoroughly inspect the rocker sills, floor pans, wheel arches, and the base of the front and rear screens.
- The twin-cam engine is robust, but check for timing chain noise on startup and signs of head gasket failure like oil in the coolant.
- The 5-speed gearbox is a highlight, but weak second-gear synchros are a common and expensive problem. Test for it during downshifts.
- Verify the car is a genuine 'step-front' model and check for correct trim. Missing stainless steel pieces are very difficult and costly to source.
Prices range from $3,200 for project cars to $85,000 for top-spec examples.
