AR-775621 was a fully developed GTA Jr. racer from Autodelta. There as a 'real story' as to how this GTA Jr. was purchased by Dick Davenport (Wichita, Kansas) in 1970. This is the first GTA Jr. with 'fat fenders' (GTMA fenders) to arrive in the USA. In the United States, in 1970, the war 'Mini vs. Alfa' had just begun. Dick became the 1971 C Sedan SCCA National Champion, among a 40 car field. He successfully raced AR-775621 with her sister GTA Jr. #32 until 1974.
Jack Beck (Omaha, Nebraska) owned and raced it (1975-2005). under current 'refreshing' restoration by Roman and Robert Tucker (Attica, Michigan), this car is presented in the 1971 race form.
The Alfa Romeo GTA was a vehicle designed for both road and track, and produced from 1965 through 1971. The GTA was given aluminum body panels in-place of steel, which reduced the weight of the vehicle greatly. Continuing with this weight-loss plan, Alfa Romeo outfitted the cars with alloy wheels and clear plastic windows. Inside, many of the components were formed from lightweight material and non-essential items were removed. Many mechanical components, including the rear upper control arms, were comprised of lightweight materials such as aluminum. The engine was given larger carburetors, magnesium camshaft covers, sump and timing covers, and other improvements. The Stradale version produced over 110 horsepower while the racing version produced an impressive 168 horsepower.
The GTA 1300 Junior version was produced from 1968 through 1972. It featured a 1300 cc based on the 1600 engine, and produced just under 100 horsepower. That figure was quickly raised to nearly 110. The vehicle incorporated many lightweight components. In total, there were 450 examples produced.
A GTAm series was produced from 1970 through 1971. These versions did not have any aluminum parts. Power came from a 2-liter four-cylinder engine.

The 1962 the first generation of the Giulia, also known as the 105 series, was introduced at the Monaz Autodrome. The vehicles shared the same bodies as the vehicles they were replacing, the Giulietta. Power came from 1570 cc 4-cylinder engines using hemispheric combustion chambers and producing over 90 horsepower. The five speed manual gearbox was operated by a column mounted shift. The suspension was modified in the rear to improve handling but remained the same in the front.
Just like the Giulietta series, the Giulia came in multiple body-styles including the four-door berlina, spider, TZ, sprint, and Sprint Speciale.
With racing in mind, Alfa Romeo designed and built the TZ series. The TZ, meaning Tubolare Zagato, was outfitted with a light alloy body, tubular frame, disc brakes and independent suspension. The performance of the vehicle was amplified by its light body and responsive and effective handling. The large disc brakes provided excellent stopping power.
In 1963 the Giulia TI Super was introduced as a low production specialty model. With only 500 examples produced, its exclusivity is secure. Outfitted with a 112 horsepower engine, large disc brakes, and floor mounted shift, this vehicle was a performance machine.
In 1963 all models received disc brakes standard on all four wheels. Power was increased in 1965 with the introduction of the 98 horsepower Giulia Super. Externally and internally, the design was slightly modified throughout the years.
The Giulia is credited with expanding international sales of the Alfa Romeo product. Like its predecessor the Giulietta, the vehicle was available in multiple body styles and configurations. Part of its success was the economical aspects, versatility, and styling.
