The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce (GTV) is an uprated version of the original Giulia Sprint GT. Introduced in 1965, the GTV used a more powerful 1.6L version of Alfa's famous twin-cam inline-4, producing 109 hp. Most collectors seek out the early cars produced until 1968, known as the 'step-front' or 'scalino' for the distinctive bonnet design that sat 1 cm below the leading edge of the nose.
The GTV is desirable for its blend of gorgeous Bertone styling, advanced engineering, and a fantastic driving experience. With a 5-speed manual transmission, 4-wheel disc brakes, and a rev-happy engine, it's a quintessential 1960s Italian sports coupe. The early step-front models are the most collectible due to their design purity, while later models offer a similar experience with slight cosmetic changes.
The market for the GTV is well-established, with an average sale price around $40,000. Exceptional, restored examples can command prices up to $80,000, while project cars are available for much less. Buyers are increasingly focused on originality and rust-free examples, as restoration costs can easily exceed a car's value.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest enemy of these cars. Meticulously inspect the floors, inner and outer sills, jacking points, spare tire well, and the areas around the front and rear windscreens.
- The twin-cam engine is durable, but check for blue smoke, which indicates worn valve guides or piston rings. A noisy timing chain or rumbling from the bottom end signals the need for an expensive rebuild.
- Test the gearbox thoroughly, especially the 2nd gear synchro, which is a known weak point. It shouldn't crunch during quick upshifts or downshifts.
- For step-front models, confirm that all the unique stainless steel trim pieces are present and in good shape. Finding original replacements is difficult and expensive.
Prices range from about $3,500 for major projects to over $80,000 for top-tier, restored examples.
