Available for auction is this 1974 Alfa Romeo Berlina 2000 finished in two-tone white and dark slate grey over a black vinyl interior. Named after the Italian for sedan, Alfa Romeo's Berlina model was introduced in 1968 and was based upon the existing Giulia sedan, with reworked styling, a longer wheelbase, and a larger engine. This 1974 example was acquired by the seller from Concourse Auto Sales of New York in 2013 and was subsequently treated to a complete bare metal restoration in 2016 including included an engine rebuild and suspension overhaul using Alfaholics parts, a transmission rebuild, a refreshed interior, Rota wheels, and more. This classic Alfa Romeo is now being offered for auction by its seller out of New York.
Italian design house Bertone was tasked with revising the Giulia's styling which included the smoothing of distinctive character lines and revisions to the trim. In 1971, the Berlina was updated with a larger engine and these later cars can be identified by their smaller outboard headlights, revised taillights, and different grill. During its restoration, this 1974 example was stripped to bare metal before being refinished in white with a dark slate grey front mask. The seller has provided a collection of photos that can be found in the gallery including images from the restoration process. The front and rear bumpers have been deleted and the car rides on a set of 15” Rota wheels dressed in Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires from 2013.
The cabin is upholstered in black vinyl with matching carpets and door panels, accented by wood veneers on the dashboard and center console. During the restoration, the cabin was reupholstered and fitted with a roll cage, a restored dashboard cover, a custom Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel, rebuilt pedal cluster, and 4-point Crow racing harnesses. The radio has been deleted and the seller confirms that all gauges remain functional. The clock works intermittently, the rear defroster is not connected, and a dimmer switch is not functional.
Power comes from a 1975cc twin-cam 4-cylinder engine which has been fitted with dual Webber 40DCOE carburetors. The engine was rebuilt using an Alfaholics stage 2 fast road engine package with hollow billet cams, a windage tray, a new distributor, an Alfaholics stainless steel exhaust system, lightweight pulleys with multi-rib belts, a Paul Spruell lightweight flywheel and starter, and an aluminum radiator and electric cooling fans. The rear wheels are driven by way of a 5-speed manual transmission which was rebuilt by the Alfa Import Center of Port Washington, New York. The suspension was refreshed and updated with an Alfaholics kit including Koni shocks, new springs, tie rods, and bushings. Other updates include a rebuilt braking system, new clutch hydraulics, a new GM-style fuse box, and a rebuilt steering box. The seller notes that a recent service included the repair of small oil leaks and a new master cylinder.
This sale will include a clean title.

@950-44647Oh I’m trying to get the paint code , I’m posting a video with directional and the engine revving , showing rear lights. I was probably too nervous when we were doing the shoot !!!!
Do you know the Brand and code for the paint? I do not see any front turn signal lights, does it have signals? Why do the brake lights flicker when revving the motor in the video?
Additional content has been added to the gallery for this listing.
@renchris Funny as that may sound for an old Alfa , there was only surface rust on the right side floorboard. I replaced both during restoration. I will post pictures very soon
Great Alfa. Do you have any before and after photos of any rust repair done to the project?

Thanks for the quick feedback!
@manuals4ever The car has never seen the track , has never been run hard , garaged , babied , just beautiful Sunday rides around Long Island. And I never had an issue getting an Inspection sticker. But very good point !!
Thanks for the feedback @nospiners
I assume with the rollbar and 4pt harness, the car has seen some track time?
Also, always curious, any issues getting the car inspected with bumper delete?
@manuals4ever , Very Good observation ,the roll bar can come off easily by cutting it off at
The base , the bumpers are not hard to come by , the car can come back to original without
A lot of drama , thank you for bringing it up. In hindsight , I should have never get rid off the bumpers , but the car was never supposed to go on sale
@manuals4ever The roll bar is welded , bumpers not included
Is the roll bar welded or bolted in?
Are the original bumpers included?
This is my labor of love guys , I'm here to answer any and all questions..
