GTV6 lightweight Custom

Post by Allan Milano »

I am new to this forum. Thought I would share a photo of my '82 GTV6 I built a couple of years ago. Fiberglass bumpers, no sunroof, a/c delete, usual suspension mods, pulled weight wherever I could. Filled in side marker lights, removed big mirrors, plastic rear vents, deleted skirting, air dam, etc. Dark blue with tan leather. Striking looking, sold it to a guy in Monterey.

Did you make or buy the fiberglass bumpers?

Fiberglass bumpers were for a Datson 510, front narrowed about 3". The rear required extensive reshaping becuase the GTV6 has a gentle radius while the 510's butt is flat.

Here is photo of the front

Hi Allan,

I really like the minimalist look of the Alfetta/GTV6's and your's is a prime example. The shape of the car speaks for itself and anything else is a distraction.

Do you have a photo of the rear. I know the standard 5mph bumper covers an area with no sheat metal so I'm wondering what you did there.

Speaking of PL510's, I had a 2-door for 13 years before it was stolen. That's when I begain hunting for a replacement and chose a GTV6.

You'll need to google the 510 guys or visit a forum. Mine came out of L.A., but I forget the supplier. About $300 for both
