Used Car Of The Day: 1978 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT
Who doesn't love a barn find? Well, someone found this 1978 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT in a Northern California barn.
It belonged to an elderly couple and is being sold as part of the estate. It hasn't been driven for a decade, maybe two, but the seller says it appears to be in good shape structurally with no rust or dents. The interior needs only cosmetic touch-up.
The car did run when stored, but it doesn't now, and it appears to have some transmission problems.
If you like what you see and have the time and money, you can find this near Los Gatos, California for $12,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
