How is it possible to have Maxi Turbo with only 280bhp? And that 6R4... I saw it being driven, and that engine sounds more like a Range Rover standard engine. It's slow too.
Then there's the Turbo 2 at.....32.000€!!!! Maybe it's not much because a Beetle costs the same...
And that Escort... Well, I said enough...

It's nice to see some interest in one of Alfa's most successful cars. Here are a couple pictures of my 1965 Autodelta GTA back in the 60's and now.
Hi and welcome to UCP. Nice to see that you own the modern #33. Just what did you do with the rear wheel arches?Originally Posted by italcarguy

When the car was set up for the Trans Am series in 1970-1972, they were added. Most GTA's that were raced here in Trans Am had these wheel arches added. I got used to them and it's part of the car's history. Here is a bit more about the car:Originally Posted by henk4
The car is an ex-Autodelta Alfa Romeo GTA, manufactured on July 11, 1965 and sold to Alfa Romeo London, G.B. on July 22, 1965. It was originally owned by an Alfa dealership and had various drivers including Jochen Rindt. The car raced in England for a couple years with 10 races documented: 8 firsts, 1 second, 1 DNF. Then it came to the US in the late 1960's and was raced five times in SCCA B Sedan: 4 wins and 1 third. In 1970 it was prepared for the SCCA Trans Am series. The car was primarily a back up car and actually raced in the 1971 Laguna Seca race.
Excellent, well, race cars always develop over time so nothing to be worried about. Are you still racing it and if so at what occasions? Was the 1600 cc also replaced by a 2 litre then?

The car is currently raced with Alfa club as well as vintage races all over the west coast of the United States. I hope to race it in the Monterey Historic's this August.
I still have the original motor. It is now fitted with it's Trans Am 1750 block and a GTA cyl. head. I have the original aluminum air box as well, it's not on the car right now because I like the sound from the velocity stacks.

Here is my favorite Alfa. While its not a "real" GTA I bet she will smoke all of 'em.
