I've had her confirm a 69 GTV bought in Montreal, and a 74 GTV from Toronto

Dear Sir,

With reference to your request we are informing you that according to our
documentation files the chassis number AR 30xxxxx originally corresponds to
an Alfa Romeo 2000 GT Veloce USA edition manufactured on the 7th June 1973
and sold on the 13th June 1973 to Alfa Romeo from Toronto Canada.

The body colour is "faggio"  (AR 516) with brown interiors.

Please be advised that this answer is intended solely for information use

Yours Sincerely,

My Italian mechanic maintains that the Giulia GT Junior 1300(105.30) was
never imported into the U.S. and so I believe it was an error in the Alfa
archives that they stated New Jersey.

My engine is different: a euro 1750cc Giulia sedan type with Webers.
Apparently the euro engines are desirable because of durability. Whether or
not that is true, I do know that I throw up a good blue smoke screen on
acceleration!

Has anyone gotten Elvira to confirm a Canadian delivered Alfa?

In the US, Alfas were imported to New Jersey or California. However, in 1969
the only models Alfa brought here were the 1750 Spica injected Spider, GTV,
and Berlina. Not the GT Junior.

I'd guess that your car came in through California, maybe the New Jersey
reference was in error?
