4/4/2008 Update: After all these auction attempts, this Alfa has now been listed here on eBay by the same seller with a much more reasonable Buy-It-Now price. Strange how it is so much lower than the last two supposedly winning bids well over $30k. Starting to get closer…

2/10/2008 Update: This GTV has been re-listed here on eBay by the same seller. No explanation is offered for why it is re-listed, but for some reason the first buyer must have fallen through.

From 1/29/2008:

How many orange large-taillight 1971 Alfa Romeo GTV’s have you ever seen? Now how many have you seen that also have deleted bumpers, very clean paint, yellow inboard fogs, and Panasports?
