“A well-worn interior is certainly less than it would take though, to pass on putting this coupe in our dream garage.”
Wow. What does that mean?
eBay Auction of the Day: 1973 Alfa Romeo GT 1600 Junior
Written By: Seyth Miersma
This simply lovely Alfa Romeo GT 1600 Junior seems to have come through what sounds like an exotic existence relatively unscathed.
Having originally been owned by a fighter pilot stationed on the exotic island of Cypress, we’re not sure how the Alfa made its way to California, but the car only managed to cover 39,000 miles in the process. That reasonable travel has left the car in excellent shape for a daily driver, with the DOHC 1.6-liter said to be fit mechanically, and the body true and rust-free. The seller does note that the interior shows slight tearing on the seats, and could stand to be cleaned up just a little. A well-worn interior is certainly something that we could live with if it meant putting this coupe in our dream garage.
Take a look at the stunning green Alfa Romeo in our gallery below, and then give us your impressions of the car in comments.

I had a 1976 GT 2000 Junior… (4 lights at the front)
It was really a dream car but wait to have your water at 82°c and your oil pressure between 3 and 4 Kg before pushing it. Also the best gearbox I ever had but down shifting when cold required a double clutch action.

After the hell my Spider put me through, the only 1970s Alfa I have the stomach to drive would be the Montreal.

The F-16 was not introduced until 17 August 1978. Obviously, the pilot was flying something else in 1973.
It’s a right-hand drive Alfa, which makes passing a bit more complicated.
