Re: [alfa] Alfa GT Jr Coupe Question

[Rodney Leng <hages73@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Bob for the enlightenment. I know the engine was swapped out. It was likely a 1300cc. The 1750cc is a nice upgrade, though it takes away from its originality. I will see if the 1300cc engine is still available. 
 
Did Alfa believe in matching numbers of body to engines??

I heard that there were no GT Juniors with 1750cc engines. The biggest were 1600cc, hence the term "Junior". Was it only the smaller engine displacement that classified the GT Jrs??


The 1600 Juniors, both Spiders and GTs, were produced in 1972. Juniors had a different level of trim and varied in styling details. For example, when GTVs had four front lights, The Juniors had only two. When 1st series GTs had multiple bar grilles, GT Juniors had a single horizontal bar. The first series step-nose body remained on the GT Junior a couple of years after the regular GTs were restyled, although they had the new interior. Juniors were never officially imported to the USA. Couldn't say about Canada. I'm pretty sure there was never a 1750 Junior.  
 
Hope this helps,
