1974 Alfa Romeo 5 Speed Sport Coupe, red, comes with manuals and restoration receipts totaling approx. $27,000. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro while at Bertone, the car was popular from inception through 1975. The beautiful Bertone designed body is sleek and sporty, while also providing seating for (4) adults. Its Unit-Body, or monocoque construction, gave the GTV strength and stamina while being very lightweight, providing the enjoyment of a true performance sports coupe with fantastic handling manners. Its 129hp front-mounted engine featured SPICA mechanical fuel injection, with dual overhead cams, while the rear-drive was enhanced by live rear axles, with disc brakes around all four corners. 5 speed manual transmission. This one-owner example, bought new in Europe, was shipped to the US as personal freight. Showing very modest miles (15,291), it is apparent the owner cherished and prized this car during 43 years of ownership. The dash features full instrumentation, front bucket seats and rear bench in black with black carpeting. Good, driver-grade condition.
