Alfa Romeo 1963-1992
The money being sought, and in some instances paid, for 1960s-70s Alfas is bewildering.
1.6-litre GTVs have the edge in scarcity and competition kudos but that doesn’t really explain why the smaller-engined cars should be 40 per cent more expensive than others. So too, early ‘boat-tail’ Spiders which are scarce and accordingly command close to $90,000.
However no one can provide a cogent reason why the very similar 2000 Spider is not only half the price of a Duetto but also cheaper than a 2.0-litre coupe.

Among the Alfetta-based cars, GTV6s are doing well but four-cylinder GTVs remain cheap.
Jumping into the market for 1980s Alfas remains cheap with 33IEs, Twin Spark 75s or maybe a big 164 sedan still available below $10,000.
