1974 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV

This 1974 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV is a nicely restored driver that benefits from fresh paintwork, upgraded suspension, and a new interior. The car was given a bare-metal repaint, and then had to be partially repainted again due to a rear-end impact shortly after the restoration was completed. The paint used during the initial restoration was used for the repair, ensuring a good match. Wheels are 15â?³ GTA replicas from Classic Alfa. The original 14â?³ wheels are also included.The car appears straight, with correct trim present and good panel gaps throughout. The seller had picked the car up from the paint shop last year and driven it around 1000 miles when he was rear ended at a stoplight.The car was repaired by Skip McCabe, and was fitted with a new right quarter, inner and outer tail panels, trunk lid, and right inner wheelwell.
