Hey kids: it is a car review, not a personal attire review. Leave the guy alone with his glasses. If I am not mistaken, they are prescription and need to be that big. If not, they at least kinda fit in with the 70s Italian look that works perfectly with a 70s Alfa. These guys are nice enough and brave enough to share their cars with the world and be on camera - have some respect. Keep the comments to the car.
I love the GTV and still on my wish list!! Back in 1974 a kid in the neighborhood received a red GTV 2000 for his 16th birthday and his older brother had a white spider!!... Just then the Alfa bug stung me as a 12 year old, but being born on the "wrong side of the tracks", four years later I bought my first car for only $50: A poor man's Alfa... A bright orange 1972 850 Fiat Spider! ...And still couldn't get laid...
Thank you cczz! I kind of went all out German going against my Italian heritage for now... 2009 Audi A3 hatchback tuned a bit that my girlfriend drives now as her daily, a 2009 Porsche Cayman S (6 speed manual) as my daily, and my cool iconic little hot rod, a modified 1976 BMW 2002, which I truly enjoy the most and drive it as much as I can!! The last "cool" car I had was a 1975 Triumph TR6 with a Ford 289 under the bonnet!! Even had a 1968 Camaro convertible with a 327 pulled from a '62 Vette that had at least 375 HP right after my little Fiat 850 Spider back in the 1970's and early '80's. So you see, I will forever love mechanical art and performance of all types from American muscle to European and even Japanese finesse!! The important thing is to enjoy and spread the love that our cars can bring to all!! Cheers back at ya!!
@Tony that is your opinion. Totally entitled to it. Although I think few would agree with you that a Honda sounds better than an Alfa. I am praising it because I have driven a car with this engine, it is fantastic. I also own an Alfa, and know how their engines sound and feel. That is why I am praising it. It deserves it. I have also driven Hondas with modified B series engines. Did nothing for me. Personal preference is all.
A B well I was also up looking for STi wagons, they didn’t make them for very long and I love me some wagon but I’m tired of modding cars and even if I wanted to I don’t really have the time anymore what with all the hustling. What was the last car you looked for?
In 1974 I was a 20 year old in love with sports cars. I had a close friend who's older brother owned a '71 GTV that he was looking to sell (I forget the price) so I went to the only Alfa dealer in northern NJ (where we were from) and checked into a new car, spider and GTV. The dealership was in Moderation as I recall. It was my 2ND car, first new one and it sold for approximately $ 7,500 dollars. Silver with tan interior, no air conditioning, sunroof or any other extras. Man oh man was that little sucker a blast to drive. Four cylinders, 100 or so horse power and the best description of how it drove was simple; it wasn't that it was overpowering, it just ran away from people. PERFECT BECAUSE THATS EXACTLY WHAT IT DID!!!
Growing up in Tampa Florida once in a while I would get to talk to an individual who had a 1976 GTV. First time I saw it, I was like damn that is Beautiful. He had the dual Weber carburetor’s, new cams and exhaust on it and was a blast to ride in.
Car sounds great and looks like fun! I went to Italy for 2 months when I was younger, and I remember a lot of the cars were Alfa Romeo and they seemed very sporty. Thanks for the review!
105 Series Alfa's are the BEST cars in the world (my world is very small and lacking some dimensions). Juniors, Step-Fronts, Sprints, GTVs & GTAs, they're all beautiful., I love it, thank you xD
The spyder and the gtv shared the same motor architecture (dual OHC, alloy block and head, in production from 1954 to the mid 70's) and some suspension parts, steering, with related four door sedans that became famous as the choice of police departments, kind of like the CHIPs Mustangs were noted. Only lighter, and well sorted handling attributes common to the Alfas of that genre. Thanks so much for including them, and judging by the popularity of these Alfa video's, I think they deserve honorable mention within the European heritage that later was led by BMW with the 2002. Now we have a global nostalgia for lighter weight and less muscle or boosted compensations for weight. Mazda, VW, and others are agressively cutting weight, and the public has gotten sophisticated enough to really appreciate what you experienced with the Spyder and GTV.
I have no connection to or history with Alfa, but every time I see one of these, I am overcome with desire for one. Imagining it as a stripped, simple, street/track semi-outlaw type build...mmmm, beautiful and so much fun to drive. Need.
"so what style lenses you want?" "you know those 3d glasses you get at the movies?" "SAY NO MORE!" Love Petrolicious btw. but damn those sunglasses are INSANE!!! ;)
Great road test, Matt. My best friend had a 72 GTV with dual Webers, back in the mid 80s. I drove it frequently, and hard. I love the car. Love the snick-snick. Love the note. My first experience with them was seeing them blasting around in Rome, '69, when I was a kid. Love Petrolicious, too.
I owned few years gtv 2000 widebody,190hp, Borbett rims, black leather interior with diamond red stiching, all chrom dials and switches....really nice and fast retro car
30 seconds into the driving...fucking incredible sounding engine, omfg...I WANT THIS SOUND! Awesome, wonderful, growly strong sounding. Bliss. This is why I4 engines are probably my favourite for sounds like these, V8s are awesome but holy shit an I4 that sounds this good is simply breathtaking to me!
This is so cute, good luck finding one, I saw a 1973 one stripped down in a paint/body shop being restored back in 2003 and truth be told thats the only one iv seen..it reminded me of my 1600 1969 BMW I had back in the mid 1980's.
I daily drove a '72 Corvette for 8 or 10 years (and one that didn't exactly lead a charmed life prior to my ownership), and prior to that my father daily drove it for another 10-12 years. It didn't have "overboosted power steering" or "overboosted power brakes." In all those years I got stuck twice-once due to a dead fuel pump and once due to a broken trailing arm. And with that I moved the bolt to the hole in the top of the arm and drove the car home... I could probably count on breaking down twice in a week with any vintage Italian car. That Vette would blow the doors off this car is ANY performance metric, and I didn't "fear for my life" driving it. Still own it by the way. Anyway the Alfa still looks like an awesome car, and great review as always.
Sadly I sold my 1968 gtv when I moved to USA! Worst decision of my life! Utterly incredible cars Discs on all 4 wheels in 1968! Mine had a half race 2 liter! Had it up to 135 mph on the U.K. m4! Beautiful cars Nothing like it today 😞
Definitely one of my all time favorite car designs! So gorgeous! You can't help drooling over cars like these! I'd love to drive one of these puppies one day.
Afshin seems like such a laid back and passionate car guy! I wish I had the skill set to work for him.. Sadly, I was never gifted with any artsy touches.
As a fan of Alfa Romeo I can tell is a beautiful car. In my country we have a vintage category for Alfas. It´s one of my favorites Alfas this car, but my favorite Alfa is, the Alfa Romeo gtv6 2.5, you should drive one, Matt. Great video!
been a long time subscriber of Petrolicious. love their videos. but majority of them are in foreign language. so thanks for getting an awesome car to review in English
I want one of these so bad. It would look great in the garage next to my '74 Alfa Spider Veloce 2000 (same engine, same kind of music) but then I'd want a Guilia Super to round out the mix. But the two would require roughly $60k that I don't happen to have just sitting around right now. But I love the hell out of my Spider, and I will be driving it from Orange County to Monterey in August, which should be pretty epic!! Great video, Matt, thanks for bringing a classic Alfa to your mix!
Great video. I had a 1979 US Sprint Veloce (hatchback - 2L - dual Weber carbs - no AC) and after college I needed some cash and sold it. The greatest mistake I ever made. The only thing on my bucket list now (as I did the rest) is to get another old school Alpha. Most fun car I ever had and I still have and have had some very nice cars. To anyone reading this, these suck, don't buy one.. leave one for me.
Actually matt, this is a fucking useful plug. I've been scouring the different websites for cars and I'm definitely going to check this place out, more so than I would sunglasses or coffee.
How many former owners are watching this and are wondering how they ever sold theirs? Mine was a '73 2.0l with a Webasco sunroof. Contrary to what the guy said about the handling, the rear was twitchy as hell in the wet even with the Pirellis. But strangely I'm not a fan of the Step-nose and prefer the 4 headlight setup.
AlphaQ 69 Too bad. Very enjoyable show. From the zero f#s to the Hurricans and Alpha's. Love the variety of cars, twisty roads, and interesting build stories. Enjoy it while we can.
I would love to drive one of those one day. You should put it up against a BMW 2002, or maybe a Lancia Fulvia, in a comparison test or back to back one takes.
I love this car! The spiritual predecessor of the Giulia Quadrifoglio. Unfortunately quite rare in Brazil too Marcelo Tonella did some footage of the engine maintenance in his channel
a friend growing up had a GTA that didn't run...I heard stories about it's epic handling. I have a whole new appreciation for it now. pretty sure the east coast salt ate it
Sub frame...I never saw any rust on the body...had issues with the fuel management as well. It's a shame I was into boxy German cars and didn't appreciate it at the time. Beautiful vehicle though.
Alfa made their own gearboxes, one of the very few makers to do so - they were always superb if treated well. With the shifter going straight into the bell-housing it amongst the nicest on any car ever made, period. Alfa thought that its light action would let them mount it at the rear (on the Alfettas) without losing too much of its feel to the linkeage, which unfortunately didn't prove to be the case.
The "mustard" yellow he mentions on his 1750 might well be the same colour my dad's 1971 Giulia Super was in (bought new, back in the day when me and my brother out-grew his Mini Cooper 1275 S), I think it was actually 'yellow ochre'.

Matt just doesn't have taste what can we do?
Glasses are bad ass ... alfistas are not your average Joe ... alfistas are supposed to be eccentric
The glasses look cool.
Agreed. I thought he intentionally wore those glasses for the shoot. They are "perfetto" for this car!! Totally on cue!
@@newerafrican To be "perfect" it's -Perfetti- (plural)

Perry Castellano nice story perry, what are you driving right now mate?
Thank you cczz! I kind of went all out German going against my Italian heritage for now... 2009 Audi A3 hatchback tuned a bit that my girlfriend drives now as her daily, a 2009 Porsche Cayman S (6 speed manual) as my daily, and my cool iconic little hot rod, a modified 1976 BMW 2002, which I truly enjoy the most and drive it as much as I can!!

Perry Castellano haha, you went german indeed!
I guess you wont be sad about driving a porsche!
Hey, that's an awesome little car! 👍🏻
Alfa Romeo 🍀
Of all the cars driven on this channel, this is by far the sexiest.
Petrolicious and Smoking Tire together... I can die in peace now.
I don't know why but, I read your comment as "I car die in peace now." and it seemed fitting.
Matt you need a tee shirt saying " how is your turning radius"
"is this guy gonna let me pass? ....no? come on"
JKU lab "thank you kind sir"
this has like, real tires on it right?
Ryan Robinson yes make this happen
I second this notion
alright... this ad might actually get me. that site sounds convenient.
It actually is. I used it looooong before Matt ever plugged it. It's a craigslist search from heaven.
garf117 it's actually really good, sadly I'm broke and can't afford anything on there
What, you don't like having fresh smelling balls while your smoking nice cigars with the cool shades?
same here. been using it for 6 or so months now and its great
Bruh... this site is damn good
This is one of the best cars Matt has ever had on the channel! With that said, people are definitely talking/asking about THOSE sunglasses😎
OMG an another amazing classic Alfa. Perfection. One of the best sounding NA 4cyl ever.
Disagree maybe one of the best inline 4's but Lancia V4 sounds way better if we are speaking about 4cyl engines.
I do agree, I meant I4s. Of course the Lancia is tops.
ChaosphereIX Honda B or K sounds better tbh. You're only praising it because it's an Alfa and it's old.
@Tony that is your opinion. Totally entitled to it. Although I think few would agree with you that a Honda sounds better than an Alfa. I am praising it because I have driven a car with this engine, it is fantastic. I also own an Alfa, and know how their engines sound and feel. That is why I am praising it. It deserves it.

Tony Badivuk only good sounding honda is the nsx lol
those glasses
Kringelbach123 goofy af !!!
So guys, you have been asking me about these glasses ...
Stylish!
He's got a spot of welding to do later.
Bono called…He wants his glasses back.
Matt: "If you're like me you stay up at night searching for cars"
Me: "Go on" 🤔
A B well I was also up looking for STi wagons, they didn’t make them for very long and I love me some wagon but I’m tired of modding cars and even if I wanted to I don’t really have the time anymore what with all the hustling. What was the last car you looked for?

yup, an awesome channel and a treat to have this cross over.
That's the coolest car by far that you've had on the One Take videos.
I love old alfas!
Growing up in Tampa Florida once in a while I would get to talk to an individual who had a 1976 GTV. First time I saw it, I was like damn that is Beautiful. He had the dual Weber carburetor’s, new cams and exhaust on it and was a blast to ride in.
Honestly my favorite older car! I'm definitely going to own one one day!
This guy's collection makes me drool so bad...
this.
and it looks like he has an 8c, too. Damn!
Car sounds great and looks like fun! I went to Italy for 2 months when I was younger, and I remember a lot of the cars were
Alfa Romeo and they seemed very sporty.
Thanks for the review!
105 Series Alfa's are the BEST cars in the world (my world is very small and lacking some dimensions). Juniors, Step-Fronts, Sprints, GTVs & GTAs, they're all beautiful., I love it, thank you xD
Had one of these in 1991. Paid 1500 bucks for it and had the time of my life! Thanks for zapping me back in time!
Been using Autotempest for the last few years. Nothing new. Works great.
The Montreal is an absolutely gorgeous car, I'm not sure what Matt's on about there.
You are right on with the Montreal and it has a Hami 2600 cc V8 , dry sump and so much more .
Daniel Varga and DOHC with mechanical fuel injection. ZF dog leg transmission.
This, and the E9 BMW are the most beautiful coupes ever designed.
This kind of car is what I live for! Fun, lightweight, high revving and gorgeous!
Petrolicious has been making me love Alfas for years now damn them!! Especially this car, this is a very very real dream car.
This is the best classic Alfa Ever! For a 'Singer' spec car check out the Alfaholics GTA-R
The spyder and the gtv shared the same motor architecture (dual OHC, alloy block and head, in production from 1954 to the mid 70's) and some suspension parts, steering, with related four door sedans that became famous as the choice of police departments, kind of like the CHIPs Mustangs were noted.

And this is why i watch your ads! Good work sir i will be on that site daily from here on out.
I have no connection to or history with Alfa, but every time I see one of these, I am overcome with desire for one. Imagining it as a stripped, simple, street/track semi-outlaw type build...mmmm, beautiful and so much fun to drive. Need.
Thanks for AutoTempest! It's just what I've been missing in my life.
Glad to see you in a real Alfa! Love Petrolicious!
"so what style lenses you want?"
"you know those 3d glasses you get at the movies?"
"SAY NO MORE!"
Love Petrolicious btw. but damn those sunglasses are INSANE!!! ;)
Josh Donivan ironically you have a huge vr headset on Haha
lol true true
I saw one of these cars in person recently. Have to say that it is my top 5 most beautiful vehicles ever made.
Thank you Mr. Behnia and Matt.....I count the minutes until another Petrolicious episode pops up....
Nice little old cars. They bring people closer. Literally.
Incredible memories riding in this on road trips to Watkins Glen & Pocono.
Dad had one. My fav sports car he had. Which included a Dino Ferrari.
outsunglassed
Someone should tell this guy he has his girlfriends sunglasses on.
Good ad, I really like your work Matt. Probably my favorite YT channel right now.
I can say autotempest and searchtempest are great search engines.
So many beautiful cars came out of the 70's - the TR6, the NSU Ro80, pretty much everything from Jaguar, and one of the most beautiful, the GTV.
glad to see the classics now and then, matt. very cool.
Classy yet unpretentious, sporty yet elegant, perfectly proportioned approachable gorgeousness and Italian through and through.
Great road test, Matt. My best friend had a 72 GTV with dual Webers, back in the mid 80s. I drove it frequently, and hard. I love the car. Love the snick-snick. Love the note. My first experience with them was seeing them blasting around in Rome, '69, when I was a kid. Love Petrolicious, too.
That road is great for these kinds of vids, you really get a sense of speed which is so fricking hard when you're filming from a car, I think.
First time i've watched a full One Take in a long time. Awesome car, awesome guy, awesome conversation.
I owned few years gtv 2000 widebody,190hp, Borbett rims, black leather interior with diamond red stiching, all chrom dials and switches....really nice and fast retro car
Excellent audio quality on this one Matt. Thank you for your work.
a dream of mine to own a classic Alfa! Going to check out the AutoTempest site as well. Looks like a time saver!😂 Thanks Matt!
What a beauty. I have always loved the look of these GTV's. I often see guys racing them in historic series here in Aus.
30 seconds into the driving...fucking incredible sounding engine, omfg...I WANT THIS SOUND! Awesome, wonderful, growly strong sounding. Bliss. This is why I4 engines are probably my favourite for sounds like these, V8s are awesome but holy shit an I4 that sounds this good is simply breathtaking to me!
My two favorite auto channels combined!
This is so cute, good luck finding one, I saw a 1973 one stripped down in a paint/body shop being restored back in 2003 and truth be told thats the only one iv seen..it reminded me of my 1600 1969 BMW I had back in the mid 1980's.

Such a lovely car. So beautiful. Sounds great too. One of my dream cars.
Sadly I sold my 1968 gtv when I moved to USA!
Worst decision of my life!
Utterly incredible cars
Discs on all 4 wheels in 1968!
Mine had a half race 2 liter! Had it up to 135 mph on the U.K. m4!
Beautiful cars
Nothing like it today
😞
I had this year and even in horrible condition, the memories of it are amazing. Drove it everywhere
Always liked the look of these, great to hear they're a good car too, awesome.
Definitely one of my all time favorite car designs! So gorgeous! You can't help drooling over cars like these! I'd love to drive one of these puppies one day.
Afshin seems like such a laid back and passionate car guy! I wish I had the skill set to work for him.. Sadly, I was never gifted with any artsy touches.

A 1750 is the sweet spot say most people. I had a '72 2000 GTV with SPICA in Pugna aka plum... 130bhp stock and limited slip rear end. Super fun car!
That's a great sound coming out of the 4 cylinder. Cool car. The weird glasses fit the style. Great video, Matt!
So beautiful, so awesome! It's like it doesn't even try to be cool, but it ends up being the coolest
Let's start from the basics: that guy "is an ALFISTA". He's 1 person.
If it's more than 1, then you have ALFISTI.
been a long time subscriber of Petrolicious. love their videos. but majority of them are in foreign language. so thanks for getting an awesome car to review in English
Don't forget, all the Petrolicious videos in foreign languages are all sub titled in English. They showcase the car scene round the world.
Back in 1984 i owned a 1971 GTV great car wished i still had it .
I want one of these so bad. It would look great in the garage next to my '74 Alfa Spider Veloce 2000 (same engine, same kind of music) but then I'd want a Guilia Super to round out the mix. But the two would require roughly $60k that I don't happen to have just sitting around right now.

Owner looks like Ruben from Oceans Eleven.
You're the both of you nuts!
Your out of you godamm minds!
You're gunna need ten more guys.
If you're going to steal from Terry Benedict you better god damn know! This sorry of thing used to be civilized!
1MrBryn ...He's got ten more Alfas...
i am subscribed to both and clicked to see Petrolicious video by seeing title :) but i saw Matt and got schocked. It's perfect to see you together :D
My favorite Alfa Romeo!!
Finally!! beautiful and awesome sounding car😊 hello from Croatia✌
Actually matt, this is a fucking useful plug. I've been scouring the different websites for cars and I'm definitely going to check this place out, more so than I would sunglasses or coffee.
I agree. This is the first truly useful ad I've seen.
not every add will interest everyone
Don't forget the B A L L P O W D A H
First time I haven't skipped the ad on the beginning of the video. Actually sounds useful, gonna check that shit out.
How many former owners are watching this and are wondering how they ever sold theirs? Mine was a '73 2.0l with a Webasco sunroof. Contrary to what the guy said about the handling, the rear was twitchy as hell in the wet even with the Pirellis. But strangely I'm not a fan of the Step-nose and prefer the 4 headlight setup.
Love the tacked on adjustable cupholder. I had one in my Firebird.
Used Auto Tempest to help a buddy find a great tow rig. It was super easy since it aggregates everything to one sight.
Everyone appreciate theses ads while they're here because Matt says we only have about a year left.
a year maximum, or if one of my TV pilots gets picked up. Whichever comes first.
AlphaQ 69 Too bad. Very enjoyable show. From the zero f#s to the Hurricans and Alpha's. Love the variety of cars, twisty roads, and interesting build stories. Enjoy it while we can.
Dave V.H. Thanks,
It's been fun, but there is no real prospect for growth with RUclips so it's time to move on
bummer. gonna miss this when it's gone for sure.
for the love of god promise me you'll never ever do a "reality" car program.
I would love to drive one of those one day. You should put it up against a BMW 2002, or maybe a Lancia Fulvia, in a comparison test or back to back one takes.
Beautiful, beautiful car. To be a true petrol head you need to have owned at least one Alfa during your life time.
I love this car! The spiritual predecessor of the Giulia Quadrifoglio. Unfortunately quite rare in Brazil too
Marcelo Tonella did some footage of the engine maintenance in his channel
Love petrolicious vids. The owner seems like a very decent guy.
Fantastic giulia, I like this car so much !!! And the engine sound incredible !!!
a friend growing up had a GTA that didn't run...I heard stories about it's epic handling. I have a whole new appreciation for it now. pretty sure the east coast salt ate it
GTAs are all aluminum so i doubt salt was a factor
Sub frame...I never saw any rust on the body...had issues with the fuel management as well. It's a shame I was into boxy German cars and didn't appreciate it at the time. Beautiful vehicle though.
Can wait to get my 71 GTV 1750 up and running!
Fantastic little car! Gorgeous.
One of my absolute fovourite cars! Great video!
Old Alfa 2 liters are some of the best sounding 4 cylinders ever made.
I am so happy i own one of these
loved the longer vid! keep up the great work, guys
I like that autotempest site Matt.
Most people want a Ferrari, Porsche or Lambo in their garage. I would take this, and the Alfaholics GTA-R in mine. What a beauty.
Best ad yet!!!!
Hmm classic Alfa, I want one!
This car has the same age as me, it is a bit slow for a GTV but the engine sounds so passionate for driving
When I saw the title I was like, when did Petrolicious start doing one takes? Lol
Alfa made their own gearboxes, one of the very few makers to do so - they were always superb if treated well. With the shifter going straight into the bell-housing it amongst the nicest on any car ever made, period. Alfa thought that its light action would let them mount it at the rear (on the Alfettas) without losing too much of its feel to the linkeage, which unfortunately didn't prove to be the case.
Hired a '71 or '72 a couple of years back great car to drive, noisy, smelly and very fun.
Truly great car! You need to drive that SZ as well Matt!
Well, we know that Zack did the screen recording for the ad - M3 search
The "mustard" yellow he mentions on his 1750 might well be the same colour my dad's 1971 Giulia Super was in (bought new, back in the day when me and my brother out-grew his Mini Cooper 1275 S), I think it was actually 'yellow ochre'.
