1978 Alfa Romeo Alfetta For Sale
This 1978 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT is a remarkable "barn find" opportunity located in the mountains southeast of Los Gatos, California. Stored for at least a decade by its original elderly owners, the vehicle is being offered as part of an estate sale. An independent inspection describes the chassis as structurally near-perfect, showing no visible rust or dents, which is exceptionally rare for this era of Italian transaxle cars. While the car was running when placed into storage, it is currently non-driveable due to reported transmission issues, making it an ideal candidate for a sympathetic mechanical restoration.
