Alfa Romeo GTZ, because of the tubular space frame it is known as the "Tubolare". Built in 1962 to 1963.

Weight 1450 lbs, engine 4 in line , 1600cc, 130bhp in show room form, with a top speed of 130mph, more with 160 hp in race tune.

Used N/A two twin-choke Webers with an incredibly engineered ram air intake for more hp at high speeds.

Essentially it was a small version of the Ferrari GTO.

Friend of mine had one and used to drive it from Vancouver to Carmel.

Kept a set of track wheels and tires down there to compete in the historics at Laguna. One year was asked to show at the Pebble Beach Concours in the competition section. :-)

Now that the Twgn is virtually done, I'm looking around for an Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider www.motorbase.com/vehicle/by-id/67/

Ya my dad used to own a 1967 alfa GTA which I come to find now is worth about 30k dollars. A 1972 GTV, a 1987 Milano verde which is the 3.0l v6 with 200 or 250hp not sure. Those 63-67 giulias are worth around 100k dollars
