FS: 1970 1750 GTV project car

[Anth73]

This 1970 Series 2 1750 GTV project car has been patiently waiting for its time to be returned to its former glory. However, with a stepnose restoration also underway I've decided it needs to go to a loving Alfista who can continue its restoration.

The Certificato d'Origine confirms this 1750 GTV with chassis number AR1454917 was built 4 June 1970 and shipped to Australia on 18 June 1970, originally with a biancospino exterior and skai nero interior. The Australian compliance plate is stamped 10-1970.

The car retains the correct specification 00548 engine with number AR00548*50869 and according to the Fusi production logs, this engine number is in the correct engine number range for engines fitted to 1750 GTV production in 1970, making this 1750 GTV a matching chassis / engine series car. Unfortunately Alfa Romeo did not record the specific engine number fitted to individual cars until the 2000 GTV, hence I cannot confirm if this is the original engine fitted but equally it cannot be ruled out.

Though the car requires full restoration it is 95% complete with only some readily available interior trims, mechanical parts and headlights missing. It comes with its original 1750 dash and the virtually unobtainable NOS condition upper centre console (1968 production date). It also comes with a lower centre console (the piece between the seats) that can be readily refurbished.

I sourced from Italy excellent condition front and rear bumpers, stainless steel door sill plates, rare 1750 dash trims and badge, bootlid 1750 badge and QV C-pillar badges. Also included with the car are two spare doors in very good condition, all window glass, two Weber 40DCOE carburettors, correct specification airbox, front seats with runners plus rear bench seat that provide a good basis for restoration and Carello rear lights.

I would prefer to see this go to an AROCA club member and will intially list the car here exclusively. Please contact me on 0408 408 259 with any questions, photos or viewing requests.

Asking price $21,000 ONO
