If you’re a died-in-the-wool Alfa Romeo enthusiast, your garage will not be complete without an example of the 105/115 series. With a body designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone, these cars have become one of the most iconic non-spiders the brand ever produced.  Alfa built the final version of this series, the 2000 GTV (otherwise known as the 2000 Grand Tourismo Veloce) between 1971 and 1976. With a great power-to-weight ratio, the 2000 GTV provided a nicer styled alternative to the BMW 2002 of the day.  Prices of these Malaise-Era Alfas continue to rise, as this driver-quality 1974 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV originally listed in March 2022 on Craigslist in Tustin, California (Range County) proves.  Reported to be “a great daily driver”, the seller indicates their GTV needs tires and paint.

Currently offered for $36,500 (the original ask was $38,500), comparing that price against the Hagerty Insurance Online Valuation Tool confirms the private seller has their GTV priced between this guide’s #4 “Fair” (Daily Driver) estimate of $25,900 and its #3 “Good” appraisal of $44,600.  Conversely, the  Collector Car Market Review Online Tool reveals the seller’s ask falls between this guide’s #2 “Very Good” estimate of $35,000 and its #1 “Excellent” appraisal of $55,000.

Alfa Romeo produced its 105 and 115 series range of coupés from 1963 until 1977 using a shortened floorpan from the Giulia saloon. They were the successors of the brand’s Giulietta Sprint coupé. Alfa introduced the final version of the series in 1971 as the 2000 GT Veloce (also known as 2000 GTV) alongside the 2000 Berlina sedan and of course the 2000 Spider. alfa engineers increase the engine from 1700 cc to 1962 cc by changing both the bore and stroke while oil and radiator capacities remained unchanged. The engine produced 130 brake horsepower at 5500 rpm with the SPICA mechanical fuel injection, which, once again, was only fitted to cars destined for the United States and Canadian markets, with carburetors retained for other markets producing officially the same power.

• Grille with horizontal chrome bars, featuring protruding blocks forming the familiar Alfa heart in outline.
• Smaller hubcaps with exposed wheel nuts.
• Optional aluminum alloy wheels of the same size as the standard 5. 1/2J × 14 steel items, styled to the “turbina” design first seen on the alloy wheels of the Alfa Romeo Montreal. “Turbina” refers to the wheel’s resemblance to a jet engine inlet.
• The larger rear light clusters first fitted to the United States market 1750 GTVs were standard for all markets on the 2000 GTV. USA market rear turn signals were red instead of yellow on non-USA models. The side marker lamps were larger and did not have a turn signal flash feature.

The last GTV model year was 1974 for the USA. The very last 1974 model year USA models were actually produced in early 1975. They could not meet 1975 USA safety and emissions regulations and thus they were brought in as model year 1974 despite carrying 1975 certificates of origin. 37,459 2000 GTVs were made before production ended.
