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.
That body was built until 1977 according to wiki, but with different engines and so forth. Bumpers became a problem for them like all euro cars.

You're right, though, it's one of those cars that just looks right, and gorgeous. One of Bertone's best efforts.
