1984 Alfa Romeo GTV6

Description

When the Alfa Romeo GTV6 debuted in the early 1980s, it marked a high point in the brand’s fusion of engineering and design. Built on the Alfetta platform and styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the GTV6 combined sharp wedge-shaped lines with a rear-mounted transaxle and independent suspension—delivering balanced handling with unmistakable Italian flair. At its heart was the legendary 2.5-liter “Busso” V6, renowned for its sonorous exhaust note and smooth power delivery.

This 1984 Alfa Romeo GTV6 is a U.S. model imported to Canada around 1990, and imported back to the United States in 2024; it has since been titled, registered, and inspected in New York. The current owner has added approximately 400 miles.

Finished in Alfa Red over black leather upholstery, this GTV6 retains its factory styling and mechanical configuration. It features the desirable 2.5-liter V6 paired with a five-speed manual transaxle, delivering the kind of driving engagement that has made these cars cult favorites among enthusiasts. Over $16,000 in servicing has been invested since 2023 according to the seller.
