Built on a shortened Alfetta sedan platform, the Alfetta GT and GTV coupes’ sleek fastback silhouette drew inspiration from Alfa Romeo’s celebrated 105-series coupes while adopting a more modern, aerodynamic profile. Initial styling was overseen by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Italdesign, with select exterior details borrowed from its fabled Alfa Romeo Montreal sibling.

The Alfetta GT was offered with a range of lively twin-cam four-cylinder engines from 1.6 to 2.0 liters. The most powerful, range-topping 2.0-liter variant was designated the GTV. Key to the Alfetta coupe’s appeal—regardless of engine choice—was a drivetrain layout new to Alfa Romeo that featured a rear-mounted five-speed manual transaxle. It helped create near-perfect weight distribution and, combined with the well-tuned fully independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, gave the car remarkable driving dynamics. Throughout their decade and a half of production, the Alfetta GT and GTV attracted keen enthusiasts with their combination of Italian flair, mechanical sophistication, and everyday usability.

The Alfetta GTV 2.0 offered here presents as an intriguing project. Finished in brown over tan trim, it retains the model’s signature sporting features, including a fuel-injected 2.0-liter engine, a front air dam, comprehensive gauges, and a three-spoke steering wheel. In need of a full restoration, the car bears a 1988 New York State inspection decal, possibly indicating the period of its last regular use.

Brimming with potential, this Alfetta GTV 2.0 offers a chance to restore a beloved classic Alfa Romeo, cherished for its timeless appeal and enduring popularity among driving enthusiasts.
