Seattle, Washington, United States
|
1967 Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider, only sold in US for one year. Dual Weber carbs.
2 owner Northern California/Southern Oregon car, last on the road in 1982, carefully stored since. The car is now located in Seattle WA, and I will help arrange shipping if needed. This car is quite remarkable in that despite being almost 50 years old, it is a real survivor. Still wearing it's original paint (what you see is what you get), original interior, original Pirelli Cinturato tires. The car is very complete, including tonneau cover, all rubber mats in good condition, full set of original tools and jack, and even original Becker Europa radio. Despite being idle for such a long time, the engine fires right up and sounds healthy, brakes and clutch work as well. The car runs and drives, but will need freshening up. It is almost too good to restore, one could polish and wax the paint, which would yield impressive results., there's no cracking or flaking, the paint is just dull from age. You could then freshen it up mechanically, and have a very original driver. Or, this car would be a fantastic choice for a concourse restoration.
I've included almost 100 pictures to show every possible detail. If you have any questions, just ask. Thank you.
Correct nose bump present and intact: In the following pictures note how clean the rockers are, and no rust in floors, even the drain plug holes only have a very slight surface rust coating, no rust anywhere. Also note the shock absorbers are Koni Reds. And here one corner cleaned off road grime to see what it would look like. The entire underside of the car will clean up just as nice with lots of elbow grease.
Interior: will take some work to bring it back to luster, but it is all there and correct. All the chrome and stainless fittings are present, and have no to very little pitting. They will all clean up beautifully. the nasty looking grime on chrome trim actually comes right off with a damp cloth!
Engine bay is very original, down to the Cavis green spark plug wires!
Battery tray area shows practically no damage from battery acid, this is almost unheard of!
The trunk lid is just like the rest of the body, very clean, no rust, no damage... Original tool kit and jack. Trunk floor is beautiful as well. Original spare tire Some dirt and paint flaking, Original tonneau cover for convertible top All 4 hubcaps are present, despite the picture below. |

Weekly Recap: Chevy and Alfa plot comeback strategies
Sat, Jun 27 2015Chevrolet and Alfa Romeo were two of the 20th Century's most iconic automotive brands. Chevy embodied America's post-war power and confidence. Alfa was the definition of the stylish Italian sports car. They reached halcyon heights in the 1950s and '60s, before declining precipitously amid new competition, changing consumer tastes, and uneven corporate management. Both say 2015 is the start of something better, and this week Chevy and Alfa laid out ambitious plans and showcased new cars that they hope will make them more relevant this year, and in the coming years. Each brand sits at its own crossroads, and their paths forward are as different as the Chevy Cruze and the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Chevy is still a sales beast, as evidenced by its volume of 4.8 million vehicles sold around the world last year. Chevy executives are fond of saying one of their cars is sold every seven seconds, which illustrates the strength and reach of a car brand that is the fourth largest in the world. "Make no mistake about it, we are a brand for the people," said General Motors North America president Alan Batey. But he wants consumers to want to buy a Chevy for its design and technology, not simply because it's affordable. That starts with all Chevys now featuring a distinctive a family look, with sporty cues from the Corvette or strong lines that riff on the Silverado pickup. "We want people to fall in lust with our cars," said Mike Pevovar, executive design director for Chevy passenger cars. "That initial emotional attraction has to be right on the exterior, and that's where form comes into play." Chevy is also loading up its cars, like the freshly unveiled 2016 Chevy Cruze, with technology to appeal to a younger crowd that prizes connectivity. The Cruze will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with its MyLink infotainment system, and OnStar with 4G LTE and wifi. Seeking out younger buyers is also sound business practice: Millennials now outnumber Baby Boomers as the largest single age group in the United States. Younger buyers also can improve a brand's image, which is another area where Chevy would like to improve. Chevy ranks 82nd on Interbrand's Best Global Brand's list, behind 11 other automakers. Apple is No. 1. "We need our own variation of the Genius Bar," Batey said. 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia View 3 Photos Meanwhile, Alfa is in different shape.
Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider rightfully fawned over by Petrolicious
Thu, Jan 16 2014Following the Top Gear adage "You can't be a true petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa Romeo," is rather difficult for those of us in North America. Faced with a distinct lack of new cars and an equally disturbing abundance of vintage basketcases, the road to Alfa ownership is a difficult one for residents of the new world. Where there's a will, there's a way, though, and the benefits certainly seem worthwhile, as we see with Casey Annis and his gorgeous 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce 1600. Annis is the publisher and editor of Vintage Racecar Magazine, so he knows a thing or six about these classic Alfas. The video discusses his Alfa, which has been upgraded to Veloce specifications, as well as what the Alfa community is like as a whole. Petrolicious has the story on Annis and his Alfa in its latest video. Fans of classic Italians are not going to want to miss this one.

2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider First Drive [w/video]
Fri, Jun 12 2015New cars are getting, to quote Alice during her Adventures in Wonderland, "curiouser and curiouser." Take the Alfa Romeo 4C, a car from a mass-market European brand with supercar-like construction at a price that starts under $55,000. The exotic looks on the outside are countered with an almost pre-war era lack of frills on the inside, but the 4C drives like a street-legal go-kart when you put it to work. That price is either a bargain or a ripoff, depending on your priorities. This oddity now has a topless variant in the 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, which is almost identical to the coupe at first glance. On the stat sheet, two numbers separate this open-top car from its closed-cabin sibling. The first is ground clearance, which goes down in the Spider: 4.4 inches here compared to 4.5 inches in the coupe. The second number is 22. That's how many pounds the Spider gains by losing its roof, for a claimed weight of 2,487 pounds. Alfa Romeo senior product planner Fabio Migliavacca says none of that mass comes from body reinforcement. The 4C's carbon fiber tub was engineered for convertible duty from the go. Alfa Romeo engineered the 4C's carbon fiber tub to handle convertible duty from the beginning, so the roof on the coupe – made of the same sheet-molded compound as the rest of the body – isn't a structural member. The Spider's canvas soft top accounts for an extra 14.3 pounds, making it heavier than the roof on the coupe. And yes, you read that correctly, the Spider comes standard with a canvas top. The optional carbon fiber roof panel costs $3,500. In fact, the options list is so full of woven composite accessories that, during the presentation, one journalist asked if the $1,595 charge for destination and handling could also be had in carbon fiber. The other 7.7 pounds comes from small alterations. The Spider gets larger mufflers – 11-liter cans here, as opposed to eight liters on the coupe - for a richer exhaust note. The car's rear haunches are reshaped to be fuller than those on the hardtop, and the engine cover is now a single solid piece, without the coupe's revealing clear insert. A few changes on the Spider will come to the coupe, including a pair of cellphone pockets, one next to each seat. The awful Parrot stereo goes away, replaced by a more friendly Alpine unit. Some coupe options are standard features on the Spider, like the full leather interior. Two of the six seat styles and four of the six available wheels are exclusive to the Spider.
