Location:
Oceanside, CA
Description:
This 1967 Alfa Romeo Duetto 1600 Spider, from the early first series of this long-running model, is offered by a selling dealer that specializes in classic European cars and motorcycles. The seller notes the car has benefitted from light restoration services, and all elements of the car present very well in the photos. The selling dealer states the mileage is believed to be accurate.The Alfa Romeo Spider, introduced in 1966 to replace the automaker’s Giulia Spider, would be offered in three subsequent series until 1994, getting design and powertrain updates along the way. Pininfarina designed the Spider and assembled it for Alfa for the model’s entire run. The sloping “boat tail” design was used only on the first series cars through 1969 and sets it apart from the later versions. Notably, the first-series Alfa Spider was known as the “Duetto,” a winning name submitted for a contest the automaker held. The winner got the new sports car, but Alfa Romeo found it could not use the name, as a snack maker had already trademarked it. So, the roadster was named Spider 1600 for the 1.6-liter engine in this first series. The Spider achieved fame in the iconic 1967 movie, “The Graduate,” and the car became so identifiable with that film that Alfa Romeo issued a lower-priced version of the Spider called Graduate in the 1980s. A twin-cam four-cylinder engine, five-speed manual transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes made the Spider more advanced than most of its British competitors, and the Alfa outlasted all of them on the market. POWERTRAIN The 1.6-liter DOHC inline-four used dual Weber carburetors and was rated at 107 horsepower at 6,000 rpm (SAE net) and 103 lb-ft of peak torque (net) at 2,800 rpm by the manufacturer when new. The seller says that the Alfa Romeo’s engine is original, and he does not report any issues with starting or running. He affirms there are no leaks or weeps. Photos show a clean engine compartment and a stainless-steel exhaust system. The twin-tailpipe extension was a common in-period modification on these cars. The seller says the five-speed manual transmission shifts properly through all gears. EXTERIOR The seller states that the Spider’s silver paint is in good condition, with no blemishes, and the provided photos support this description. He says the manual convertible top works as it should, with no leaks or damage. The glass is in good condition and seals have no leaks, he states. Per the seller, the roadster has “no rust.” Photos show a clean underside with signs of a previous restoration. The seller says all lights and signals are working. Alfa buffs like these early Spiders for the covered headlights, which were not used in the U.S. after 1968. INTERIOR According to the seller, the car’s carpeting is in good shape, and the interior trim is intact. The black leather seats are in good condition; it is not known if the interior was restored, but the upholstery and door trim are correct for the car. The seller affirms that the car’s heat and Jaeger instrumentation function properly, as does a period-correct Blaupunkt Frankfurt AM/FM stereo. As seen in photos, the car has an aftermarket Personal wood-rim steering wheel with the Alfa Romeo crest. CHASSIS The Alfa Romeo Spider has coil-spring front suspension and a live rear axle with trailing arms, coil springs, stabilizer bar, and a torque-reaction bar. The seller states rubbers, bushings, and shocks are in good condition. The 165-R14 Pirelli Cinturato tires are described as "older," and DOT date codes could not be seen in the provided photos. The slotted steel wheels and their chrome hubcaps appear to be in good condition, with no observed blemishes. The spare tire appears to be a five-spoke alloy wheel from a later Spider. The seller says the unassisted steering tracks straight and the four-wheel disc brakes function as designed. DOCUMENTATION The selling dealer states that it will provide a clean and open Ohio title for the proper transfer of ownership for this vehicle. A star of both the car and movie worlds, this 1967 Alfa Romeo Duetto 1600 Spider appears to have received some restoration in the past. It is presented with no needs and ready to enjoy.
