1968 Alfa Romeo Sprint GTA 1300 Junior Stradale is for sale

The 1960s were Alfa Romeo’s golden age when it came to competition. In 1965, Alfa initially presented a coupe in the Bertone style, and three years later the Italian manufacturer unveiled the GTA 1300 Junior, which was produced until 1975 and only 450 cars left the production line. One of them, a 1968 Alfa Romeo Sprint GTA 1300 Junior Stradale, is up for auction.

Under the hood is a 1.3L DOHC Inline 4-cylinder engine with 135 hp (113 kW), which is based on the larger engine from the 1600 GTA. The engine is paired with a five-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. Despite the smaller engine, the GTA 1300 model has had great success on various tracks around the world.

This car was purchased new in Siena, Italy. The owner properly maintained and used it until 2016 when he sold it to the American collector Leo Schigiel. Then the car was sent to Alfine car specialist Paolo Bergia, who restored the suspension and brake system, installed a new water pump and belts, all at a cost of €9,000.

The auction will take place on May 2 and 3, and the car is estimated to fetch between $225,000 and $275,000.

The engine is paired with a five-speed 915 manual transmission that delivers power to the rear wheels. It’s mounted on 930-specification 16″ Fuchs wheels wrapped in 205/55 and 245/45 Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position tires.

This car is finished in Grand Prix White, well maintained and in excellent condition. It is equipped with a sunroof, a steel RS ducktail spoiler, a front lip spoiler, amber rear corner lights, European-market headlights, fog lights, custom dual-outlet rear valance, polished-aluminum aluminum trailing arms, powder-coated suspension components, Bilstein dampers at all four corners, four-wheel discs with cross-drilled rotors and stainless-steel brake hoses.

Inside, the seats are trimmed with black upholstery, while black leather covers the door panels and the dashboard to which the fuel and electrical system shut-off switches have been added. In front of the driver is a MOMO Prototipo steering wheel and a five-digit odometer showing 3,813 miles.

The car comes with service records, owner’s manuals, a Porsche Production Specifications document, and a Montana title in the name of the owner’s LLC.
