1970 Alfa Romeo GT Junior Zagato

This excellent 1300 Junior Z is one of only a handful in the USA. Finished in an attractive combination of blue over a tan trim, it is a very well-sorted, long-term California car with numerous performance upgrades and benefits from expert care by a series of devoted marque enthusiasts. One notable past owner of this car is Ken Mr. Alfa Shaff, best known as co-founder of both Auto Week Magazine and the California Mille rally with Martin Swig. More recently, it was treated to extensive engine-out mechanical refurbishment work done by Stewarts Automotive in Sacramento, California (performed in 2019). Since early 2022 has been in the care of an experienced Alfa specialist and vintage racer who expertly dialed it in for reliable, fast-road enjoyment. The blue paintwork is in very good condition overall. Finish quality is consistent and is done to a level that encourages regular driving. Minor cracks are noted around the A-pillars, C-Pillars, and near the tailgate opening a common affliction on these cars. Otherwise, the paintwork is glossy and attractive, and the appealing color suits the wedge-shaped form brilliantly. The cockpit trim is well-preserved and in good condition, and the cabin features correct instruments, switchgear, and cockpit fittings. An aftermarket radio has been added. True to its Grand Touring moniker, the Junior Z is surprisingly roomy and comfortable, even for taller drivers. Mechanical updates to this car include the fitment of a 2-liter twin-cam engine in place of the original 1300, which has been upgraded with more aggressive camshafts. To cope with the added power, a 4.56:1 limited-slip rear differential, alloy GTA-style T-arm, and adjustable front upper control arms were fitted. The chassis bushings and rubbers were replaced in 2019, and the package is finished off with magnesium Crommodora 5-spoke alloys and fresh Pirelli CN36 radial tires. O...
