GTC (1965 to 1966)

Introduced in 1965 as a highly exclusive open-top evolution of the Sprint GT, the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTC (Type 105.25) represents one of the rarest iterations of the 105-series, with production limited to approximately 1,000 units before concluding in 1966. Developed in collaboration with Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, the GTC utilized a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and was powered by the 1.6L Twin Cam inline-four engine, producing 78kW (106hp) through a five-speed manual transmission. While it retained the "Stepnose" styling of the coupé, Touring significantly modified the body to maintain structural rigidity, though it remained lighter than the standard GT at approximately 950kg. In the Australian market, the GTC is a unicorn; only 99 right-hand-drive examples were produced globally, making local survivors exceptionally scarce and highly prized by the Alfa Romeo community. Market desirability is immense due to the combination of four-seat practicality and limited-run "Carrozzeria Touring" heritage, with the buyer pool consisting of high-level collectors looking for the ultimate 105-series rarity. Current market values reflect this elite status, with well-sorted examples commanding between $140,000 and $210,000 AUD depending on provenance. The model was effectively replaced in the Alfa Romeo lineup by the Spider (Duetto), which entered production in 1966.
