Introduced in 1966, the GT 1300 Junior was Alfa Romeo's entry-level version of the gorgeous 105-series coupe. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone, it used a rev-happy 1290cc twin-cam inline-4 producing 89 horsepower. It was created to offer the same beautiful styling and fantastic chassis as its larger-engined siblings to younger buyers, especially in Italy where engine size dictated taxes.
The Junior is prized by collectors for offering one of the purest driving experiences of the era. Its balanced chassis, communicative steering, and eager engine make it a joy on winding roads. The earlier "step-front" or *scalino* models are highly sought after for their design purity, but all versions deliver the quintessential Alfa Romeo experience that makes these coupes so popular.
The market for the GT 1300 Junior is broad, with an average sale price around $39,000. The wide valuation spread is driven by condition, originality, and desirable modifications. Many cars have received larger 1750cc or 2000cc engines, which can appeal to buyers seeking more performance, while top prices are reserved for impeccably restored, numbers-matching examples.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest issue; check sills, floor pans, jacking points, wheel arches, and the areas around the front and rear glass.
- The 2nd gear synchromesh is a known weak spot, so check for grinding or crunching when shifting, especially when the gearbox is warm.
- The twin-cam engine is strong, but look for blue smoke on startup or acceleration, indicating worn valve guides or rings.
- Many Juniors have been upgraded with larger 1750cc or 2000cc engines. Verify if the car is original or modified and assess the quality of the conversion.
- Worn suspension bushings will spoil the car's excellent handling, so check for perished rubber and vague steering feel.
Prices range from $10,000 for project cars to over $126,000 for perfectly restored examples.
