The "Duetto" has been garage stored for many years, and has recently been brought of out storage.  It is in non running condition and will need a full restoration.  The Duetto which was designed by Pinin Farina is considered by many to be one of the best designed mass produced Alfa.  The '66 & '67 model years are the only "true" Duetto's which are the most collectible of the Roundtail body style.  With Giulietta and Giulia Spider prices appreciating rapidly, the Duetto is the next Alfa model to see the same type of appreciation.  Unrestored examples are becoming increasingly harder to find and with values on the rise, a high quality restoration can be a great investment.


As noted, the Duetto will need a complete restoration.  The body is fairly solid with evidence of old body repairs to the rocker panels and other areas.  The nose panel had been dinged in the past but does retain some remnants of the original "dimple".  There is no evidence of previous accident damage that I can detect.  The trunk lid was dented on the left rear as noted in the pictures.  There are also old repairs to the trunk lid hinge area which is a common weak point.  The trunk lid opens and closes without any issues.  Door gaps and hood gaps are excellent.  Floors are solid as well as the jump seat area.  Rockers will need replacement as well as the radiator support.  Has all original bumpers and grill which are all in good original condition.  Has original factory 15" wheels including the spare. Has factory headlight covers - they are loosely fitted due to a broken tab and mounting tab. 

The drivetrain had been removed from the Alfa while it was in storage, prior to my purchase the engine was installed to make transport easier.  The transmission is not installed, but is included.  Both the engine and transmission will need to be rebuilt.  The 1600 engine does turn freely.  The follow mechanical components did not come with the Alfa:  Carb/intake, clutch, heater box, starter & generator. 

The interior is in good original condition as noted in the pictures.  Original dash not cut up.  All gauges in good condition.  Driver's side door panel is warped, passenger side in good condition.  Includes a full set of factory keys - all keys work including doors and glove box.  Convertible top frame in good condition with no damage.  Top is old, with rips and taped rear window, but will keep the car relatively dry.  Both windows operate fine with no issues with the window regulators.  The convertible top boot is from my '69 Spider, and is not included in the auction.  Has period correct "wood steering wheel".


The Duetto represents a great opportunity for the Alfa enthusiast that is looking for a Duetto and cannot afford a restored example.  This Alfa will give you the platform to do the restoration of your choice, knowing that the value will ultimately be determined by the quality of work that is being done.  A no expense restoration can still be a worthwhile project with values continuing to appreciate.


The Alfa is being sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied.  I cannot be held responsible for any errors or inaccuracies that may have been inadvertently been provided. 

Please have your finds in order prior to bidding. 

Shipping is up to the buyer to arrange.

As stated, the "Alfa" represents a wonderful opportunity for the Italian car enthusiast that is looking for a solid restoration project at an affordable price.  Comes with a clear Michigan title. Sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied.
  I have done my best to describe the Duetto to the best of my ability, however there may be some things that I may have missed.  It is up to the buyer to do due diligence when making a purchase online.  Do not make any assumptions about anything.  Ask any questions that may not have been addressed.  I am not responsible for any errors or erroneous misinformation.  If you would like to speak with me directly, please provide a contact number and I will get back to you.



For the motivated buyer, I will consider ending the auction early for a serious offer, however I do not have a buy it now price set. 


The fine print:  If you have 5 or less feedback transactions, you must contact me prior to bidding.  A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 is due within 24 hours of the auction end.  If the deposit is not received, the "Alfa" will be offered to the next highest bidder.  The balance is due within 7 days of the auction end date.  The car must be picked up within 10 days of the auction end date.   A $10.00 per day storage fee will be charged after the 10 days unless prior arrangements have been made.  For International Buyers, I have sold several vintage cars to overseas buyers with the buyers being extremely pleased with the sale.   "License Plate" and "Convertible Top Boot" not included.  If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.  I will do my best to answer any questions you may have.

Upcoming Alfa Romeo CUV called the Stelvio, Marchionne says

Thu, Feb 18 2016

Alfa Romeo will call its forthcoming crossover the Stelvio, and the Italian brand will finally put the often-postponed CUV on sale in Europe in early 2017, according to Auto Express citing FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne. We probably won't see it in showrooms here until at least spring or summer next year. The vehicle's name references the famously curvy pass through the Alps in Northern Italy, which evokes a model with sharp handling and rapid acceleration. The Stelvio uses a modified Giulia platform, and the two models should share powertrains. Standard versions would likely get a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, which makes 276 horsepower in the sedan. However, the common parts make a Quadrifoglio version of the CUV possible, packing the hottest Giulia's 505-hp 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, according to Auto Express. Alfa Romeo hasn't teased the Stelvio's design yet, but FCA designer Ralph Gilles posted a photo on Instagram that might have been a hint. The picture showed fellow designer of Lorenzo Ramaciotti in the back of an unnamed crossover. The dashboard, which you could see in that shot, had a distinct similarity to the Giulia. The shot didn't show much of the exterior, but you could barely make out the narrow taillights. Alfa Romeo has had serious problems launching vehicles on time recently, and the Giulia sedan and Stelvio should have been ready by now. The four-door was originally supposed to arrive in late 2015, but Marchionne said assembly would finally begin on March 14, according to Auto Express. The sedan has allegedly had problems passing internal crash tests, but Alfa officials vehemently denied this claim. The brand also delayed the CUV by several months from the original plans. The automaker now asserts that six more models are on the way by 2020, but the company doesn't seem capable of living up to those promises. Related Video:

Industrial designer seeking classic car, sketches his finds as he shops

Tue, Jan 20 2015

The process of shopping for a vintage car can be both a joy and a nightmare. Wrapped up with the exciting opportunity of owning a classic is the anxiety of picking just the right one. Canadian industrial design professor Bruce Thomson and his wife are chronicling all of those ups and downs in a fascinating way. On their blog Kicking Vintage Tyres, Bruce exploits his talent as an expert draftsman to create detailed sketches of the vehicles they are considering, along with driving impressions of each one. The idea for the site started on a whim. After selling his 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220 a while back, it was time to own another classic. Bruce was looking at a Triumph TR6, and a friend asked for a description of the car. Bruce responded with a massive email detailing everything he saw, and the concept for the blog was born. "It dawned on me early that my search was not going to be as easy or as quick as I had expected," he said to Autoblog in an email. "I decided that the best thing I could do would be to make a sort of 'game' out of the search by sharing it with others." Thomson's sketches truly set the blog apart. He clearly has an exceptional eye for a car's lines and often mixes his drawings with inset depictions of key portions of the vehicle. Beyond just the fabulous diagrams, the site is a great read too. While the TR6 initially topped the list, Thomson's search has broadened over time, and a Series 2 Alfa Romeo Spider and BMW 3.0CS also received consideration. "I'd not commit myself to any preferences though, as my head is easily turned," he said. The criteria are that the car must have a manual gearbox, be made between 1959 and 1976, preferably European, hopefully a convertible and cost 15,000-25,000 Canadian dollars ($12,525-$20,870). No matter how long it takes, this is a wonderful hunt to follow along with.

Alfa Romeo Giulia, Stelvio Quadrifoglio NRING Editions come with scale models and jackets

Fri, Jun 15 2018

Alfa Romeo's Quadrifoglio models, both the Giulia and Stelvio, have set some quick laps at the Nurburgring. The latter holds the SUV record, while the former was recently dethroned by the Jaguar XE Project 8. To celebrate, the company has created the NRING Edition for the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio. In typical special edition tradition, it features a unique color, a matte, metallic gray, and a few other other basic upgrades, plus numbering for all 108 examples of each model. But the really special parts of these vehicles aren't actually part of the vehicles, but rather they're bonus accessories and experiences. Each car comes with a "welcome kit." It includes Sparco racing gloves, an Alfa Romeo jacket, cufflinks, shoes and a bag in which to carry everything. The last car we remember coming with its own jacket is the Mercury Marauder. On top of that, each car comes with its own 1:18 scale model. Once you've found a place for your model and are ready with your Alfa gear, you can head to Germany to participate a driving school course at the Nurburgring with your NRING Edition car. All of this makes a somewhat average special edition car something far more exciting, and as such we're not surprised it won't be available in America. All 216 cars will be sold in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. But hey, if you're a wealthy car enthusiast who has been looking at Alfas, one of these could be the way to go. Related Video:
