Designed by the young Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone, the GTV was an instant classic from its introduction as the Giulia Sprint GT in 1963.

Engine displacement grew over the years, the original carbureted 1570-cc DOHC four-cylinder (1600) was replaced with the 1962-cc (2000) motor in its final evolution, the GTV of 1973-1974. This engine was smoother, torquier and with greater power. Originally a California car, this GTV was purchased by a father and son collector in 2014, it since been restored. It was repainted in its original Maroon color and upholstered in new Tan leather.
