Description:

This Beautiful Alfa Roemo Duetto (Boattail or Roundtail) is a one owner car that has been cherished and cared for by its original owner. He ensured and up kept this vehicle to like new condition its entire life.The car is immaculate and it would be near impossible to find a cleaner original Alfa Romeo Duetto. A full restoration has kept this car exactly as it left the factory. The car is as beautiful underneath as it is on top.I should be listing this car at Barrett Jackson, if it doesn't sell here I will list with them at some point. there is no cleaner Duetto anywhere. This car looks better then the day it was made.
The Duetto was built on a strong unibody platform and came standard with disc brakes a sweet shifting 5-speed manual transmission and a 1600cc version of the famous twin cam. The beautiful bodywork was penned at Pininfarina and represented a drastic departure from the Bertone-bodied coupes and sedans.
The Duetto was the last project that the company’s founder Battista “Pinin” Farina had a personal hand in. The beautiful design is characterized by minimal chrome distinctly sculptured body sides and that signature tapering rounded tail. This is the original expression of the long-running Alfa Spider and is considered by many to be the purest and most desirable of all models in the 27 year production run.
This 1967 example is from the second year of Duetto production and features the famous twin cam engine with dual side draught weber carburetors. This is as close to perfect Duetto as possible to find. Paint work is in excellent condition and the color suits the Pininfarina body brilliantly. It is correctly fitted with its original painted steel wheels original wheel covers and sits proudly on the suspension as it did from new. Panel fit is excellent and the minimal bright work is in spectacular condition all around with most pieces appearing to be all original.
Engine bay detailing is stunning with the correct air filter still in place – a rare find. The underhood accessories are correctly finished and the engine bay as a whole is extremely well presented.
The engine runs strong emitting an intoxicating throaty soundtrack – sucking air in through the big Webers and emitting an addictive exhaust note out the back.
These engines beg to be revved and it is truly one of the great small engines of all time.
The black interior is fully correct and original. As are the carpets and black canvas top which fits properly with good rubber weatherstrip. The original steering wheel and instruments are in excellent condition and the view from behind the wheel is refreshingly clean and simple.
The sleek painted dash is simple and clean with auxiliary instruments angled toward the driver a thin rim three spoke wheel and the 5-speed gearshift that falls easily to hand. An Alfa Duetto is about the pure simple joy of driving enjoying the telepathic steering feel and happily rowing through the gears to keep the jewel of an engine on the boil. This gorgeous high quality example is certain to please any Alfa Romeo enthusiast or anyone who is simply looking to get in on the Alfa cult – and experience why these are considered among the finest drivers cars of all time.
