for sale

Price: US $12,100.00

Description:

AR*1482038 is a 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce (10562) with matching factory motor is available for purchase. Extremely original and never restored. Judged at the 2008 National Alfa Romeo Convention in Chicago, this car scored 3rd highest in points. I am the second Owner and have taken care of this beauty for 21 years, never driven in rain and has been kept in a heated garage. Everything works and nothing has ever been taken apart. Paint close up has some spider-webbing and it may have been touched up in a few spots by first owner, I have been tempted to having the paint re-freshened but have resisted since it is 100% original. The suspension and brake system just recently received attention in the tune of $8, 500 which included new rotors all around, new brake lines, new rubber bushings throughout and complete re-sealing of undercarriage. Car is rust free, however, there is a small area at the rear (see pic) that a loose bolt lost in the boot has eaten thru. The interior is in excellent condition with exception of two tears on the driver’s seat. I have the original never installed rubber mats in excellent condition, I also have the original drape that is also in excellent condition with just a ½” tear at the folding area in the center of pivot. The chrome is in excellent shape with no dings. The car comes with a log book dating back to first service. The prior owner was a jet fighter hence the colors around the gauges, I’m a sucker for originality and never bothered to erase it’s prior history. Removing the old paint on the gauges would be easy and quick.
A few interesting things about this model is that it marked the last year of the Round “Boat” Tail Spiders and the first year in the USA for the 1750 powertrain. Only 2214 cars produced as LHD USA cars compared to 5, 960 of the earlier 1600 Duetto’s. The original 1750 engine pulls like a new unit and is also in excellent working condition. This car has the original SPICA Injection system and I may be in the minority, but I have never once experienced a problem with either of my 1750’s in last 25 years. They pull to red-line time after time, never fouling plugs and never making adjustment during weather changes.
I prefer to sell the car As-Is and acknowledge that many enthusiasts appreciate originality. The car is located in the Chicagoland area. For more information, I can be reached at me at carm@lskarchitects.com
