I do not do the Alfa BB. Too many threads to keep track of. You are right. The 1600 in FP is the 101 Giulia Sprint, not the 105 Sprint GTV. I determined...

It would be relatively easy to get the 105 1600 Sprint GT added to the full prep Fprod specifications for SCCA. I don't know how you'd ever get the car to the...

Peter, Technically, a 1750 in a 1967 GTV is not legal in SCCA. However, I do not think the Production Category requires a VIN anywhere on the car body....

I am looking at the 2008 PCS and it lists the FP GTV, 1750, years 67-72. So even though a 67, it has to have Fuel injection? Frustrating, the 63 would be...
