Category: 73 Giulia Super Rebuild

Purchased in the Netherlands August of 2006 this tired Giulia Super had seen many miles any spent many years parked outside. Even so, this tough Alfa was great fun to drive around the Netherlands and then in the USA. Eventually age took its toll and the head-gasket needed replacement. This was the catalyst for a full rebuild to beyond what could have been afforded by a customer in 1973. Since finished this car is used daily and was driven across the USA 3 times.
