1977 Alfa Romeo Spider In Excellent Condition - True Survivor Like Mbg & Triumph on 2040-cars

Here is an excellent, rust free true survivor car.  You hear the term 'survivor' all the time but the term is usually used incorrectly.  This unmolested car starts right up and runs terrific with an amazing exhaust note especially when you start winding her out - she screams.  Has had very little annual mileage since 1976 or 1977.  The car was manufactured in Aug. 1976 but is titled as a 1977 model year.  It loves the curves and also the highway.  Unlike my previous TR6, with this 5-speed car you are never running at high rpm on the highway and passing power is always on tap.  The included Alfa Romero factory hard top is in excellent condition with only a small light scratch in the vinyl.  The glass on the hard top and on the car is all excellent.  The soft top is like brand new with excellent rear window.  The original Alfa Romeo aluminum wheels are included as is the chrome Alfa luggage rack, jack, air conditioning unit and compressor (disconnected), the owners manual and a pile of receipts totaling quite a bit several hundred or over a thousand dollars. The alternator is quite new.  The leather interior is quite good - there is a small hole in the passenger seat.  The dual true side draft Weber cabs work great.  The rotor, cap, wires and plugs are new.   The car came up from Tennessee where it was originally purchased and spent the last 10 - 15 years here in Dallas, PA where it was only driven in the dry summer weather. The body has a few minor dents, dings and light scratches.  The is a spot on the hood that look like a small split in the paint, perhaps from engine heat.  There is a small crack in the dash.  There is a small dent in the rear fender lip that was needs to be filled and smoothed, but is it NOT a rust hole, it is a minor dent.  The floors are perfect as is the under side of the car.  There is one or two small holes in the spare tire well which will be easy to repair.  There is only a small paint bubble in the paint behind the right front wheel but is certainly not indicative of any major rocker rust as they are extremely solid and there is no where on the car where a magnet wont stick.  I've agonized over selling this car since it is fully road worthy and antique plate/insurance eligible, but it will be much easier to sell then my 2 other project cars.  I will work with your shipper if that is required. You can see more pictures at the following link and more will be added soon tp include the hard to, factory aluminum wheels and spare tire, paper work, jack, a/c compressor and other items that will be included:

In the spirit of full and honest disclosure, since this 38 year old car is being sold as is, here are some items which can use some attention:

1.  The speedometer has stop working, but the mileage on the speedometer is 53,251 and the title reads 53,219.  I bought the car last summer and have not driven it much at all as I am working on at 1974 TR6 and a 1946 Willys CJ2 project, but I  put  no more 400 - 500 miles on it.  I was told the fix is not extremely difficult but haven't gotten to it. 

2.  The gas tank drips if it is more than apx. 1/3 full.  I do not know if this is a hose or not.  I simply do not fill it more than 1/3 full which is plenty of cruising time.

3.  The oil pressure gauge isn't working, probably just the sending unit.  (Temperature, fuel gauge and low fuel warning light work fine.  Heat and defrost/fan work fine.)  

4.  The turn signal flasher isn't working so I must work the signal lever manually to signal a turn.  This is probably just a matter of replacing the low-cost flasher but I'm not sure which part it is.

5.  The passenger side wiper are is included but needs a new rubber. (cheap)

6.  The car appears to have had an original color respray at some point in it's life and it is not extremely shiny, but it still looks great.
