Mystery GTV6
Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2011 2:39 pm
Hi,
My name's Phil and I bought an Alfa. Actually the story of my GTV6 is kinda strange. I found the car on Craigslist back in about February. Called the guy, was on my way when he called me back. "Someone just picked her up" Great. Fast forward to this month when I was eyeing a Lotus Super Seven frame for sale and Emailed the guy a few times. Then on Saturday I called and wanted to pick it up, but ARG! Sold again. Then a friend of mine pointed me to a GTV6 on a VW forum for sale. Since I don't own Veedubs he set up the meeting and I went to pick it up. Low and behold, It's the same car from Feb. According to the guy, it's got a Milano motor in it, stock motor with it, and the car is in rough shape. I installed the cooling system, fuel system, bumpers and ignition and now it fires on starting fluid, but the pump doesn't run. I'll post more on that elsewhere... PICS!
