Alfa Romeo GTV

1968 Alfa Romeo GTV

The GTV was powered by a 1.8 liter DOHC engine that produced 120 horsepower.

Alfa Romeo Twin Cam Engine

I think I have always loved Alfas. To me, they were the poor man's version of a Ferrari. When I was a teenager, Ferrari's were the very pinnacle of the car hierarchy and were completely unobtainable, but Alfas had the same pedigree (red paint, DOHC, high revving, aluminum engines), but were affordable. Friend of mine was even able to buy an aging spider. He made a mess of it, but that's another story.

They are still affordable, but they require a lot of care or deep pockets to keep they running.
