About this car

Work involved stripping and repainting the Bertone bodywork in red as well as installing a 2.0L Twin Spark inline-four, a rebuilt five-speed manual transmission, a Gripper limited-slip differential, and various Alfaholics body, chassis, and brake components. The car wears a carbon-fiber hood, trunk lid, and doors and is fitted with 15″ GTA-style alloy wheels, Bilstein adjustable shocks, AP Racing front brake calipers, and an OKP steering box with a high-strength CNC-machined 7075 Ergal aluminum housing. Inside, black leather–trimmed factory seats are accompanied by a MOMO steering wheel, Jaeger instrumentation, and an Autodelta-style roll bar. The engine is equipped with dual Weber carburetors and controlled by a programmable Megasquirt ECU, while the transmission is outfitted with a close-ratio “Nanni” gearset.

First offered in 1965, the GT 1300 Junior would remain in production for over a decade as the entry-level model in the Alfa Romeo coupe range. This stepnose example was sandblasted to bare metal, underwent body repairs, and was fitted with steering-box and crossmember reinforcement plates as part of the aforementioned build. It was then fitted with a carbon-fiber hood, trunk lid, and doors from Alfaholics and repainted red.

A lightweight windshield and Perspex rear screen from OKP were installed following the paintwork along with Lexan side glass. Additional exterior modifications added in the course of the project include GTA-style door handles and lightweight front indicator and sidelight brackets as well as a replacement rear number-plate frame and headlight rings.

The 15″ GTA-style alloy wheels from Alfaholics are mounted with 195/55 Nankang NS-2R tires. The braking hydraulics have been upgraded with an Alfaholics adjustable dual-circuit brake balance box as well as their reservoir and feedline kit. Stopping power is provided by AP Racing four-piston and Alfaholics Superleggera dual-piston rear calipers over two-piece ventilated front and solid rear discs. An OKP steering box with a high-strength CNC-machined 7075 Ergal aluminum housing and front hubs are fitted up front, and additional steering and suspension modifications from Alfaholics include a uniball aluminum T-bar, drilled trailing arms, adjustable top suspension arms, quick steering arms, lightweight lock stops, rose-jointed track rods, anti-roll bars, adjustable 2¼” small springs, and Bilstein PSS10 adjustable shocks. The wheel bearings were also replaced under current ownership.

The cabin houses the factory seats trimmed in black leather that sit ahead of an Autodelta-style roll bar. Work as part of the interior refresh involved refurbishing the dash, heater, and seats as well as replacing the headliner, parcel shelf, door panels, roll-down window mechanisms, and seatbelts. The floors are not fitted with carpets, though removable front mats are supplied. An uninstalled replacement rear bench seat is also included in the sale.
