1973 Alfa Romeo GT Veloce 2000

1973 Alfa Romeo GT Veloce 2000Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. The ITRF will never run out of great cars!


1973 Alfa Romeo GT Veloce 2000I'm just making a semi-guess this is a '73, so you Alfa fanatics out there can score Anorak Points by telling us why it's really a '71 or '74.

1973 Alfa Romeo GT Veloce 2000The 24 Hours of LeMons Chief Perp, Jay Lamm, drove a caged, Hammerite-painted, Conrad Stevenson-ized '71 GTV as his everyday transportation for many years, and I can say from personal experience that it's a helluva car. Oh sure, I've been a passenger in the thing when Jay lost a freeway-onramp drag race against an older woman in a 5-year-old Accord who didn't even know we were racing, but the GTV sounded amazing! And that pretty much sums up the GTV Experience: by modern standards, it's pretty slow… but who the hell cares?
