Price: US $8,000.00

Description:

I am the third owner of this little gem. I purchased it from a gentleman in Utah about 15 years ago when I lived in California, and I brought the car to Michigan with me when I moved to the midwest. I'm 6' 2, and as I have gotten older, the car is less comfortable for me to drive. Consequently, it has only been out of garage a handful of times over the past ten years, mainly for the Woodward Dream Cruise. I tried to sell it on Craigslist a few years ago, but I got cold feet and pulled the ad. I knew if I sold it, I'd probably regret it as I would never be able to find another in as good of condition. We recently downsized to a smaller house with a three car garage instead of four, so one of my cars has to go, and the Alfa is the one I drive the least.
I listed elsewhere the very few issues the car has. Outside of those, the Spider is super clean for its age, and is absolutely stunning in yellow and black. It has been supremely reliable. I keep it in the garage under a Dustop cover and battery tender hooked up to the battery. I have the original phone dial wheels that I will ship with the car. I love the five spokes, so I have always used those. Several years ago I pulled the original Alpine stereo and installed a newer Alpine unit. I also put an Alpine amp in the trunk and replaced the front speakers with a pair of MB Quarts. I was going to replace the rear deck speakers, but I never got around to it.
I have never had the car out in the winter. I did get caught in the rain a couple of times, but the car primarily was only driven on clear, sunny days. The previous owner ensured me he and the original owner used the same care. I haven't seen any rust under the hood, in the trunk, in the door panels, or under the wheel wells. Other than a few small shallow dents in the body shown in the fotos, the body is in excellent condition. All mechanicals and electricals work except the A/C compressor, driver washer fluid nozzle, and back up lights. I took the car to a shop shortly after I purchased it to look into the back up lights and was told the wire was disconnected. As the connection sits above the transmission, the cost to connect it wasn't worth it, so the back up lights have never worked since I owned the car.
I have the original owner's manual, product brochure, service records, and a few other books and magazines I will ship with the car.
I really hate to sell this little sweetheart, but I'm hoping she goes to someone who can get her out and show her more. She is just too nice of a car to be sitting under a cover in a garage for 360 days out of the year.
You are welcome to come by and inspect the car in person.

Used
“Always serviced by very knowledgeable Alfa mechanics. All service records available. Speedo was replaced by original owner and car likely has 5K to 10k more miles than shown on speedo. Always garaged and stored during winter. No rust to my knowledge. Paint in excellent condition. Tires and Ansa exhaust like new. Body has shallow linear dent on lower side panel. Window washer nozzle on driver's side needs to be replaced. Black fabric top in excellent shape with clear rear window. Top was cut by thief behind driver's window but was professionally sewn. Same thief buggered the dash just above the glovebox. Dash was repaired but repair is visible. Interior is clean but shows wear consistent with mileage and age. Mechanicals are solid. As is typical, 2nd gear synchro will talk back if not shifted properly. Rubber mounts replaced 12 years ago. Stiffer springs installed on front to improve handling and keep car from diving when breaking. Originally equipped with A/C, but needs new compressor.”
