Hello members,

Here is an update on the chassisnumbers of the Alfa Romeo 1750/2000 GTAm as of the 16th of October 2011.


Definition:
But first an addition to definition of what a GTAm is.
As already said the GTAm was an Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV that was converted by Autodelta to GTAm specification. The homologation papers specify what changes could be made.
Along with the type 1750 GTV USA (105.51) some type 1750 GTV EU (105.44) have also been converted (standing and hanging pedals).
The same goes for some type 2000 GTV’s (hanging pedals).
Besides that, UlrichGTA told me that in Germany some GT 1300 Junior cars have been converted to GTAm because the GT 1300 Junior was lighter.
Difficulty with the GTAm is, that it never had a unique type- and chassisnumber. This is unlike the type GTA (105.32 LHD and 105.34 RHD) and type GTA 1300 Junior (105.59).

Variants:
Then there are variants within the different types:
- new cars from the production line converted to GTAm spec's by Autodelta as Autodelta works cars
- new cars from the production line converted to GTAm spec's by Autodelta as Autodelta customer cars
- existing cars converted to GTAm spec's by Autodelta as Autodelta customer cars
- new or existing cars converted to GTAm spec's by other tuners/teams with a combination of Autodelta, Angelini, Balduzzi and other parts like the Balduzzi cars (Tony Adriaensens mentions this in his book)
- new or existing (replacement) bodyshells with or without a chassisnumber that were equipped with Autodelta, Angelini, Balduzzi and other parts (for example from wrecked cars)
- other variants on this theme in various stages of tune
On the bulletin board, there is a list of options for your GTAm. Have a look at post #9 in this thread: http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/giul...es-2-gtam.html

A lot of GTAm's will have been updated during and after their racing life, engines and gearboxes were swapped, they have been restored, etc ..... And some of these cars had great palmares while others were less fortunate.

Copies:
Besides that, there are a lot of copies with various stages of tune with less or more original GTAm parts. Have a look around on alfabb and you will see a lot of GTV's being changed into GTAm copies. Some of them are very nice and well built.
