Std hp was 150 sae. The twin plug was from autodelta, not sure how viable that would be on a road car. They mention a twinspark engine however, which I guess comes from a modern model - So I guess it may not even be a proper dohc! Just a modern Fiat interpretation!
If the suspension had been sorted properly they would have fitted a Harvey Bailey handling kit and they would have mentioned it. Gearbox? Clutch? LSD? No mention of their state, I'd guess they need an overhaul regardless of mileage because of the age.
Interior should be texalfa (vinyl) and it was rubber on most versions not carpet on the floor.
Has wrong door mirror, usually a pair and round with an alfa logo on the cone of the housing, not a rectangle.

'74 was the last year for this body, 1973/74 models were 2000s. '72 and before were 1750s.
The car in the link is a beautiful, if not "correct" original car; sort of an r-gruppe version of a GTV. These are beautiful cars, and if anything the 2000s are the least beautiful. (But still gorgeous). If you think the interior, seats and console is nice on this one, check out a 1750 some time. A huge step up, IMHO. Or a '69, with its *one year only* sport seats. Or a '67, w/ the stepped hood. (as opposed to flush). And on and on...
There is nothing on this earth more Italian than an Alfa, except maybe the Mona Lisa. Life is just reduced w/o this kind of beauty around.
