Rust in Grover Beach, California GTV6

David, I think that you may be talking about a black '86 GTV6 for sale in Grover Beach, California ... 100 miles north of Santa Barbara near Pismo Beach. Last week I took the train up from San Diego (325 miles) to look at the car, and decided against it at ANY price. The car is cosmetically very pre...

Timing belt tensioner

Is there a convenient way (for a neophyte) to determine whether an '86 GTV6 has a hydraulic or mechanical timing belt tensioner without removing the belt cover?

Wanted: Original speakers/ frames for door speakers

I'm looking for an original set of speaker frames for the doors of an '86 GTV6, with or without the little speaker itself. Those speakers were pretty terrible, and I've replaced them with a serious pair in the enclosures in the back seat. However, I'm looking for a "cosmetic" fix to the br...

James Bond and the GTV6

I understand that in a late 80's James Bond film he drove a GTV6. Does anyone know which film that was?

GTV6 Designer ?

It is probably a naive question, but who was the designer of the GTV/GTV6 body?

Alfa key blanks from Key-Men.com

Thanks enormously for the information. Key-Men.com claims that they can actually cut the keys for you if you have the key code.

Copies of Door Keys ?

Does anyone know how to/where to obtain copies of door keys to an '86 GTV6? I have checked with several good locksmiths here in the San Diego area, and absolutely no one has these exotic key blanks. My local (and knowledgeable) mechanic says that they're simply not available. It's also weird that th...

Mobil 1 grades

I'm sorry, but I simply don't understand the reply. What are the differences among the 3 grades of Mobil 1, and which is preferable for use in a GTV6?

Thanks,

Rear Spoiler ?

I'm looking at an '86 GTV6 that has a black spoiler attached to the rear decklid. I don't recall seeing one like it before, and am wondering if it's authentic.
