Known issues by generation
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Berlina and Super (Tipo 105) series are beloved yet come with specific vintage engineering challenges. The Twin-Cam Bialbero engine, while renowned, is notorious for water-pump impeller failure, necessitating an aluminum-block specialist water-pump rebuild. Additionally, timing-chain tensioner and cam-chain wear can lead to significant maintenance costs. For the Super models, the dual-twin-Weber 40 DCOE carburetors require expert synchronization and tuning, while the SPICA mechanical fuel-injection system of later models demands specialist care to restore functionality.

Rust-free models from the West Coast or Sun Belt are especially sought after, often fetching massive premiums over their Northeast counterparts, which are typically more prone to rust due to the steel quality of the era.
