Would whitewalls be out of the question... ehehehe.

 

Then again, I prefer the stock wheels. Anything else would look very weird.

I knew I shouldn't have looked in this thread. Now i'm tempted to get my own GT.

Its very sluggish... Then again, I haven't upgraded it yet, as I'm getting the HEX codes together. People say that in the next update, they'll fix all the hindrances. I wonder how fast it'll be without said hinderances.

Ah that's cool, performance isn't a big deal for me (unless we're talking game-breaking issues like kerbing the stock Faction) as I already have my go-to Public sesh cars and others I keep around just because they look good. I suspected this would fall into the latter category. 
 

Might still hang back a while though as my impulse-buy Retinue has practically never been used. In reality that'd equate to an amazing time-warp barn-find worth a pretty penny but in GTAO it's just taking up muh garage space :D

I think the Michelli GT is worth buying, but you may struggle to differentiate it from the Retinue and Savestra. It looks very similar to these cars and the price tag is prohibitive at about 1.5 M including upgrades, so only buy it if you've got plenty of cash to spare. As a collector with limited garage space, I played around with the Cheburek last night but quickly got bored with it and sold it after the lawnmower buzz wore off, but the Michelli GT is a different animal. It's worth keeping for its looks and style. You can mod it like either a race or rally car, and there are some unique liveries too.

I can see both. Heck, they even took livery inspirations for both cars..

There isn't much Fulvia in it. Which livery do you think is Fulvia related? I'm asking because I can't find one and an Italian flag stripe is nothing only Fulvias had. The ones with the painted noses are a clear give away that it's an Alfa.

Every single GTA car has multiple influences. Literally every single one, I just recently realized that the original Entity has taillights based on the Aventador's. To claim they have only a single influence is simply wrong.

While I generally agree with this statement, I will say the Michelli GT appears to be very heavily rendered after the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT. What aspects of it in any way resemble the Lancia Fulvia? The proportions are nowhere near the Fuvia's. The front, rear, sides, shoulder line, fenders, quarters, wheels, grille, headlights, rear glass, and general greenhouse shape is clearly influenced by the Alfa Tipo 105 coupe. I really don't see any blatant Lancia in it. Anything that could be argued that it stems from the Lancia could just as easily be argued it came from the Alfa.

I really want two of these, one in rally spec for my rally garage and one in a stock look for my euro classics collection, but the price is too high to justify me buying two right now. Maybe I'll buy one and then buy another later if it goes on sale.

I convinced a friend of mine to buy the Michelli GT. Mine's the Giallo Ocra, hex is from @SM_Provo. Since he likes to go crazy on his cars, I couldn't let him touch such an emblematic model. I gave him advices so he could have a decent rallye car.

The Savestra and Retinue has nothing on this legend. They don't feel and they don't sound the same when driving. Lampadati is gold.

Coleco is baaaack! Welcome back, most missed award winner! Get the car, it's actually great cruiser.

So far, I love it. The 'sluggish' feeling I said it had falters after you upgrade it. 

 

Plenty of complements, one being after a random drove it during a dispatch mission.

 

Thanks Provo for the color inspiration. LMS blue.

 

My only issue is the front grille...They could've made it a circle or something in the middle to compensate. Changed the clover to a rose maybe.

I was completely uninterested in this one - I just felt it was another off-pace Italian-esq classic with nothing going for it... 

 

Then I drove it stock for something to do, and changed my mind. I mean it deforms like it should, unlike many of the 'newer' vehicles. That is a huge bonus in my eyes. 

 

So I ditched the Casco and replaced it with a Michelli GT. Okay, it doesn't sound as impressive or have the speed... but it's just nicer and is my new daily driver.

I bought one, because it reminds me of my old Giulia 1300. The big difference is that this one actually keeps driving. Mine needed a pocket mechanic to go a distance.

My Michelli GT. Great car to cruise in. Handling is a bit jumpy likely due to the handling flags but it's not bad.

Ok so people, I am about to do something reckless.

 

A 68 Giulia is on sale in my city. I'm going to spend basically twice as much as the cost of both my cars combined for a car that has a quarter of the combined horsepower.

 

I can't believe I'm going to own a Michelli GT in real life. I'll post pictures when I take the plunge.

Update: The car was a rust bucket. Apparently in good shape, but the undercarriage and suspension towers were falling apart. The engine mounts are an easy fix, but in general it would have been very difficult to restore, considering the parts are rare, particularly here in south america. 

 

I'm disappointed but I just couldn't take that big of a risk. I will probably scratch that itch with a BMW E21 for local racing though... I saw a couple of good candidates.

That's a shame, but to be fair most Italian cars from 60s all the way to 80s had very shoddy anti-corrosive paintjobs, be glad that you have noticed all the rust before picking up the car so you avoided any troubles.

 

In general, I wouldn't recommend old Alfa Romeos to anybody that is not a gearhead, their body works and electronic gremlins can kill the mood of anybody working with them.

True dat! I had a GTV6 when I lived in Europe and it gave me a headache once a week. I loved it though and would buy it again! I had to take most of it apart to prevent the underside from rusting. 

That's the key. Take it apart and re-paint all the shell, but this is expensive...

Repainting it doesn't cut it if there's too much rust though, gotta replace the undercarriage if there are any cracks.

 

Unbelievably, the 89' Fiat Uno I picked up is completely rust free on the undercarriage, but the paintjob is awful, the left front panel is dented and there's small points of rust here and there...I'll be fixing it all in its due time. Love the little thing!

Nice! Those are beautiful cubes of love. Now, if we could have the BF Club, it would be the closest thing to the Uno we could get in game... Maybe with the nightclub update? Club-NightClub?

Nah, BF Club has to be a VW Golf IMO, though I wouldn't oppose another Fiat in this game, only one we got is that dumb 500R look a like with that awful SUV interior.
