Hello, I am new to this brilliant forum, I have been an Alfa fanatic since my first Alfa Sud Sprint in 1981. I have owned Alfetta GTV2.0 -1984, Alfa 164Q 1992, Alfa 156 2.0 2001, and currently a !59Q4 3.2 2006 and I am expecting in the next week my 1983 GTV 6 to arrive in Sydney from Perth, I can't wait. I have already ordered a full Supersprint exhaust system, headers, front pipes, centre and rear exhaust, it will be, I think the first set sold anywhere and I have a set of Bilstein shocks coming from Germany. I live in Rural N,S.W Australia and run cattle for a living.
I have wanted a GTV 6 since 1982 so it has been a long wait. I will post pictures once I find someone more capable than myself to do so for me. There are some on Aus Alfa forum relating to the thread "Should I buy a GTV6, 164Q or a GTA 156" if you are interested to have a look.
Re: Introduction . Hello
Welcome to the Forum kanga. More so that a famer wants an Alfa and not a Ford Fairmont as the ads would have us believe !
The question "Should I buy a GTV6, a 164 or 159 ?" really needs to be followed up by another question namely : "From what perspective?" Sex appeal? Power? Handling? Cabin room? Resale?
Getting my drift?
For a devoted rear wheel transaxle driver such as myself, owning a front wheel drive sports car just never enters the arena for choice.
Look forward to seeing your pics.
Incidently, a little tip. When you do get your hands on your car, you should post your stuff in the "Intoduce Yourself" topic set..

Transaxle Alfas Haul More Arse
Re: Introduction . Hello
I'm thinking of getting the Varex system from Xforce. Basically what I want is whisper quiet on the highway and loud as hell on the track. The stainless construction is also quite attractive.

Re: Introduction . Hello
I agree front wheel drive cars do leave a lot to be desired but I wanted the 3.2 Arese engine in the GTA and the 164Q was also a great car in its day. But the GTV 6 rear wheel drive is a classic Alfa.
Re: Introduction . Hello
Hey Kanga,
Welcome to the site. Did you buy Colin Goundrey's red GTV6? From what I remember, it was in really good condition, so congratulations
Pity another good GTV6 has left WA

Beteoh I bought Col's car but his surname wasn't Goundrey, but it is red and is in great order and from WA. It arrived in Sydney on Monday, so arrived early, but I will pick it up Friday.
