1974 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Convertible 2-Door 2.0L *NO RESERVE!!!

I am in my seventies and it is time to sell my driver quality Alfa Romeo. Last fall I turned the car over to an experienced Alfa technician with the instructions to properly mechanically prep this vehicle for an eventual sale. Items that were fixed and/or improved include (but are not limited to) new front seal and pulley plus injection pump belt. new brake master cylinder and rubber wheel hoses. new high performance electronic ignition (RML?). new Bosch coil. new Bosch electric fuel pump and related fuel lines. new emergency brake cable and related hardware and. of course. all associated fluids and filters. Total cost for parts and labor (will include receipt) was $3267. 43!!! After having worked on the car and having driven the car for a couple of days. the mechanic is convinced the odometer miles are true. The cockpit of the Alfa is in very nice. mostly original and in highly detailed condition. It still has the original rubber mats throughout. The floors are solid and I applied 3m sound control mats beneath the rubber. The door panels are straight and door jambs present very well. The engine compartment is clean and in original unaltered condition. The luggage compartment is also very clean. nicely detailed and it houses an almost new spare tire mounted on a bead blasted and refinished steel rim. The original working jack has been refinished along with the factory lug wrench. This is a color change car having been painted in base/clear coat some years ago by a previous owner. The original color was a factory off white (see photo of luggage compartment without mat). The paint job. not show quality. still shines nicely. The convertible top is an older vinyl one that is still weather tight. I have always kept the top folded beneath the boot cover having only driven the car in good weather. The tires are in very good condition. showing little tread wear. Included in the sale are two original ignition keys. an original owner's manual. a service manual. the original distributor and cap. the original coil. new metal side emblems and a new reproduction chrome side view mirror with Alfa Romeo logo (from International Auto Parts). The Alfa will need rocker panel work in time (a previous owner had some correction done but not to a high standard). Repair panels were fabricated rather than using factory replacements. These things are taken into consideration by offering the car at a rather low and NO RESERVE starting bid (I have two and a half times that amount invested). The Alfa starts up. runs. drives and stops extremely well. Clutch activity and shifting is very good (second gear is no problem after brief gearbox warm-up). The car is garage kept and covered when it is not in use (see picture) and cover is included with sale.

Remember this is a forty year old driver quality car and it is being offered at NO RESERVE and without warranty written or implied. One opening bid of $3900. 00 will win this car so. bid only to win. Transport is the sole responsibility of the auction winner. but seller will cooperate with arrangements. Payment must be made in full via domestic U. S. A. bank check and payment must be received within seven business days after end of the auction. The car will not be released for transport until funds have cleared my bank (Bank of America). Happy bidding!
