We purchased an Alfa Romeo Alfetta Berlina on Staten Island in 2005. Over the course of the following fall & winter the Alfetta was transformed into a preliminary iteration of what is now our #64 VSCDA race car. Everything from the suspension to a complete overhaul of the drivetrain was completed. In an attempt to lighten the car as much as possible, the door glass was removed and replaced with custom removable polycarbonate panels. The interior and doors were stripped and painted with a low gloss urethane to prevent interior glare. We fabricated a 6-point SCCA roll cage complete with a 5-point racing harness, and a custom gauge cluster, which was updated in 2009.

For a more comprehensive look at the Alfetta’s transformation from a dilapidated daily driver to a notable vintage race car check out our restoration page.



The engine was rebuilt from the ground up with custom ground racing cams and a beautifully ported head. We re-mapped the inductive distributor, modified the block and bores and balanced the bottom end. Hi-compression racing pistons and rings were installed along with re-jetted and polished Del'lorto DHLA45 carberators.
