Price New: The 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super was not yet available in 1962, as the “Super” trim level of the Giulia saloon was introduced later in 1965.

COMMON FAULTS
Please Note: Common Faults in Regularly Used Vehicles vs. Low-Mileage Stored Vehicles that have been used consistently over many years, accumulating approximately 10,000–12,000 miles annually, are more prone to common faults due to regular wear and tear. These issues typically arise from the natural aging of components subjected to frequent use, such as engine parts, suspension systems, brakes, and tires. In contrast, vehicles with low mileage that have been stored or preserved are likely to experience different types of issues. These vehicles are often better maintained to ensure their longevity and may avoid some of the typical wear-and-tear problems seen in regularly driven cars. However, they can still face unique challenges such as degradation of rubber seals, corrosion from prolonged inactivity, or fuel system issues caused by old or stagnant fuel.

The 1972 Alfa Romeo 1600 Giulia Super had its share of common issues, as many classic cars do. Here are some of the common problems reported by owners:

1. Wiring and Assembly Faults: Some Giulia owners experienced issues related to wiring and assembly. For instance, the car might shut off unexpectedly and refuse to restart. Additionally, several warning lights could illuminate simultaneously, even when there were no mechanical failures.

2. Battery-Related Glitches: While not specific to the 1972 Giulia Super, battery-related problems have been reported. However, most early glitches have been addressed through software updates.

3. Cosmetic Issues: The body of the Giulia Super was generally straight, but some cars had cosmetic problems like rust. Additionally, sun exposure caused wear and tear on the interior. Remember that classic cars often require maintenance and restoration, so addressing these issues is part of the joy of owning and preserving these beautiful machines!
