Throttle House gives the 1968 Alfa Romeo GTA a strong positive review (62/100), praising its exceptional design and performance as a masterpiece of lightweight engineering—featuring ultra-thin aluminum body panels riveted to the chassis and a 1300 twin-plug engine equipped with magnesium castings, hollow gearbox shafts, and rifle-drilled bolts that make steering incredibly light. The significant drawback is reliability, as ownership "requires inviting your mechanic to dinner" due to substantial mechanical issues, and at $145,500+ the car demands deep pockets despite its rarity and value holding around $150,000. Livability sacrifices like vinyl flooring and lightweight seats without back adjustment add to the spartan experience. This car is exclusively for devoted collectors and enthusiasts willing to spend a fortune maintaining their dream machine.
