Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate (1986)
for sale

Price: US $610.00

Description:

This is a very nice alfa spider and it just needs some basic attention. It runs and idles, and will rev up if done slowly, but wont it you step on it hard. Not sure what the deal is there, just havent had the time to chase it down. We did replace all of the simple stuff, INCLUDING the motronic box, jetronic box, both pressure sensors, cold start injector, fuel pressure regulator, etc. We just havent had time to go further. We did compression check and verified all within 5% of each other, and compression 140lbs +/- 5lbs. The car can and has been driven, just testing, etc but all other systems, electrical, cooling, stopping, etc all appear to be fully functional and decent. The car is a respray at some point in its life, it started out as white. The paint is okay, looks nice (see pics), and it was properly jammed out when they painted it, but they did not paint under the truck carpets, or hidden areas. The interior is very nice, see pics, and the top is brand new. It also has brand new valve cover gasket and donuts gaskets, and there is no oil leaks presently. Also has recent oil change. Someone told me that maybe a vacuum leak could cause the rev issue, again, i havent had time to go back and and mess with it. Top works.
It is a nice car, truly, and NO RUST that we can detect now or ever. It will make a great car for someone, and there is no reserve! It is ready to go and has a clear title. We can help ship if needed, just let us know. Please ask any questions prior to the end of the sale, once you bid, its yours. You will likely be happy with the car, it is a neat car and deserves the attention. If we have forgotten anything, please ask... do not hesitate to ask. Feel free to give us a call, 843 345 1383.

Condition:Seller Notes:
Used
““The car has new fuel pumps, Fuel Filter, Distributor cap, rotor, all new Bosch modules and sensors. New top. The interior is in great shape and exterior could use a good clay bar waxing but looks good. Front right corner has a small dent and scrape. (There when I bought it).” Idles well, no leaks, drips, just does not rev up properly, good compression. Does not rev up properly, seems to be trivial electrical issue somewhere. Have not continued to diagnose. Can be driven if required. Brakes good, good tires. No rust.”
