The Alfa Romeo 2000 GT Veloce (also known as 2000 GTV) was introduced in 1971 together with the 2000 Berlina sedan and 2000 Spider. The 2000 range was the replacement for the 1750 range. Once again the engine was rationalized throughout the range. The engine displacement was increased to 1962 cc with a change of the bore and stroke to 84 mm × 88.5 mm. Oil and radiator capacities remained unchanged. The engine produced 132 PS (97 kW; 130 hp) at 5500 rpm. The 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by its different grille. From 1974 on, this became standard on the GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior as well. The interior trim was also changed, with the most notable differences being the introduction of a separate instrument cluster, instead of the gauges installed in the dash panel in earlier cars. Externally the 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by the following features: Grille with horizontal chrome bars, featuring protruding blocks forming the familiar Alfa heart in outline. Smaller hubcaps with exposed wheel nuts. Optional aluminum alloy wheels of the same size as the standard 5. 1/2J × 14 steel items, styled to the "turbina" design first seen on the alloy wheels of the Alfa Romeo Montreal. "Turbina" refers to the wheel's resemblance to a jet engine inlet. From 1974 on, the 105 Series coupé models were rationalized and these external features became common to post-1974 GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior models, with only few distinguishing features marking the difference between models. The last GTV model year was 1974 for the USA. This 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 was built on September 16, 1974, and delivered new in Switzerland before being relocated to France. Chassis AR2444390 was acquired in 2021 by marque specialist and current owner Arnage Classic Cars of Chassy, France, who subsequently carried out a two-year refurbishment that was completed in 2023. Work involved fitment of an Alfaholics carbon-fiber hood, decklid, and doors along with a repaint in Rosso Alfa and an interior re-trim in black vinyl. The 2.0L twin-cam inline-four was overhauled as part of the build and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Additional Alfaholics modifications include a replacement rear axle and limited-slip differential along with their stainless-steel exhaust system, GTA-R suspension kit, and 15″ GTA-style wheels. The car is further equipped with dual Weber 45DCOE carburetors as well as a MOMO steering wheel and overhauled Jaeger instrumentation. This tipo 105.21 is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner in the Netherlands with an Alfa Romeo Classiche Certificato di Origine, dynamometer results, and French registration. Finished from the factory in Rosso Alfa, the car was stripped to bare metal and fitted with an Alfaholics carbon-fiber hood, decklid, and doors prior to being repainted as part of the aforementioned refurbishment completed in 2023. Alfaholics GTA-style door handles have also been installed, and further exterior details include Carello headlamps, pop-out rear side windows, and wrap-around bumpers. Imperfections in the finish are shown up-close in the gallery. The 15×7″ Alfaholics GTA-style wheels are mounted with 195/55 Uniroyal RainSport 5 tires, and a matching spare is stored in the trunk compartment. The car was factory equipped with four-wheel disc brakes as well as an independent double-wishbone setup with an anti-roll bar up front paired with a live axle, lower trailing arms, and a reaction trunnion out back. An updated Alfaholics GTA-R suspension with a geometry kit, adjustable dampers, lightweight spring pans and trailing arms, adjustable quick-ratio steering arms, and an aluminum T-bar was added as part of the build. The front bucket seats and contoured rear bench have been fitted with replacement black vinyl upholstery. The dashboard was also refurbished, while the woodgrain trim, headliner, door panels, and carpets were replaced. Additional appointments include a cabin heater as well as retractable front seatbelts and rear lap belts. The leather-wrapped MOMO Prototipo steering wheel frames Jaeger instrumentation including a 240-km/h speedometer and a tachometer with an inset oil pressure gauge along with gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 38k kilometers (~24k miles), approximately 800 of which are said to have been added since completion of the refurbishment. The instrumentation was overhauled under current ownership, and the seller states that true mileage is unknown. The 2.0L twin-cam inline-four was rebuilt by Hesshaus Engineering in Germany as part of the project, at which time it was fitted with dual Weber 45DCOE carburetors and a Pipercross air cleaner. The engine is further equipped with an Alfaholics 45-amp alternator, gear reduction starter, and aluminum oil catch tank. An Odyssey battery is housed in a black-finished Alfaholics battery tray, and a kill switch has also been added. Dynamometer test results are pictured in the gallery and display a peak output of 181 horsepower and 159 ft-lb of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and an Alfaholics rear axle with a limited-slip differential that was installed during the refurbishment. An Alfaholics stainless-steel exhaust system was also fitted at that time. The Certificato di Origine from Alfa Romeo Classiche shows a production date of September 16, 1974, and lists a Swiss market designation as well as the factory colors.
