The "Duetto" has been garage stored for many years, and has recently been brought of out storage.  It is in non running condition and will need a full restoration.  The Duetto which was designed by Pinin Farina is considered by many to be one of the best designed mass produced Alfa.  The '66 & '67 model years are the only "true" Duetto's which are the most collectible of the Roundtail body style.  With Giulietta and Giulia Spider prices appreciating rapidly, the Duetto is the next Alfa model to see the same type of appreciation.  Unrestored examples are becoming increasingly harder to find and with values on the rise, a high quality restoration can be a great investment.


As noted, the Duetto will need a complete restoration.  The body is fairly solid with evidence of old body repairs to the rocker panels and other areas.  The nose panel had been dinged in the past but does retain some remnants of the original "dimple".  There is no evidence of previous accident damage that I can detect.  The trunk lid was dented on the left rear as noted in the pictures.  There are also old repairs to the trunk lid hinge area which is a common weak point.  The trunk lid opens and closes without any issues.  Door gaps and hood gaps are excellent.  Floors are solid as well as the jump seat area.  Rockers will need replacement as well as the radiator support.  Has all original bumpers and grill which are all in good original condition.  Has original factory 15" wheels including the spare. Has factory headlight covers - they are loosely fitted due to a broken tab and mounting tab. 

The drivetrain had been removed from the Alfa while it was in storage, prior to my purchase the engine was installed to make transport easier.  The transmission is not installed, but is included.  Both the engine and transmission will need to be rebuilt.  The 1600 engine does turn freely.  The follow mechanical components did not come with the Alfa:  Carb/intake, clutch, heater box, starter & generator. 

The interior is in good original condition as noted in the pictures.  Original dash not cut up.  All gauges in good condition.  Driver's side door panel is warped, passenger side in good condition.  Includes a full set of factory keys - all keys work including doors and glove box.  Convertible top frame in good condition with no damage.  Top is old, with rips and taped rear window, but will keep the car relatively dry.  Both windows operate fine with no issues with the window regulators.  The convertible top boot is from my '69 Spider, and is not included in the auction.  Has period correct "wood steering wheel".


The Duetto represents a great opportunity for the Alfa enthusiast that is looking for a Duetto and cannot afford a restored example.  This Alfa will give you the platform to do the restoration of your choice, knowing that the value will ultimately be determined by the quality of work that is being done.  A no expense restoration can still be a worthwhile project with values continuing to appreciate.


The Alfa is being sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied.  I cannot be held responsible for any errors or inaccuracies that may have been inadvertently been provided. 

Please have your finds in order prior to bidding. 

Shipping is up to the buyer to arrange.

As stated, the "Alfa" represents a wonderful opportunity for the Italian car enthusiast that is looking for a solid restoration project at an affordable price.  Comes with a clear Michigan title. Sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied.
  I have done my best to describe the Duetto to the best of my ability, however there may be some things that I may have missed.  It is up to the buyer to do due diligence when making a purchase online.  Do not make any assumptions about anything.  Ask any questions that may not have been addressed.  I am not responsible for any errors or erroneous misinformation.  If you would like to speak with me directly, please provide a contact number and I will get back to you.



For the motivated buyer, I will consider ending the auction early for a serious offer, however I do not have a buy it now price set. 


The fine print:  If you have 5 or less feedback transactions, you must contact me prior to bidding.  A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 is due within 24 hours of the auction end.  If the deposit is not received, the "Alfa" will be offered to the next highest bidder.  The balance is due within 7 days of the auction end date.  The car must be picked up within 10 days of the auction end date.   A $10.00 per day storage fee will be charged after the 10 days unless prior arrangements have been made.  For International Buyers, I have sold several vintage cars to overseas buyers with the buyers being extremely pleased with the sale.   "License Plate" and "Convertible Top Boot" not included.  If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.  I will do my best to answer any questions you may have.

Stellantis won't race to split electric vehicles from fossil fuel cars

Fri, May 6 2022

MILAN - Stellantis is not considering splitting its electric vehicle (EV) business from its legacy combustion engine operation, its finance chief said on Thursday, as the carmaker presented above-expectation revenue data for the first quarter. Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer told analysts he did not see huge benefits in the kind of separations pursued by rivals such as France's Renault and U.S. Ford. "We need to manage the company and the assets we have through this transition," he said. "There are benefits to having the cash flow being generated by the internal combustion business for the investments we need to make." Palmer said the group, formed by a merger last year of Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot maker PSA, was not averse to considering adjusting its structure "but we aren't anticipating any big changes." Palmer's comments came after the world's fourth largest carmaker said its net revenue rose 12% to 41.5 billion euros ($44.1 billion) in the January-March period, as strong pricing and the type of vehicles sold helped offset the impact of the semiconductor shortage on volumes. That topped analyst expectations of 36.9 billion euros, according to a Reuters poll. Milan-listed shares were up 0.5% by 1415 GMT, in line with Italy's blue-chip index. The impact of the chip crunch was evident in the decline in shipment figures which fell 12% in the quarter to 1.374 million vehicles. It was a similar story for Germany's BMW which posted higher revenues on Thursday and a decline in car sales. Riding the Recovery Stellantis, whose brands also include Citroen, Jeep and Maserati, confirmed its 2022 forecasts for a double-digit adjusted operating income margin, after 11.8% last year, and a positive cash-flow despite supply and inflationary headwinds. Morgan Stanley analysts said after the results that Stellantis had better management than many peers and benefited from its significant exposure to a stronger U.S. economy and a European recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. They also said it was less affected by a slowing Chinese economy. Palmer said it was important for the group to maintain double-digit margins and keep delivering positive cash flows. "A 12% increase in revenue with a 12% decrease in volumes indicates a very strong performance on price and mix, which augurs well for our margin performance," he said. He said semiconductor supply problems were expected to ease this year with continued improvements in 2023.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio SUV interior spied

Tue, Jun 28 2016

With is flanks still heavily covered in these photos we can't tell much about the outside of the upcoming Alfa Romeo Stelvio, but it's the first time we've been able to catch a glimpse of the SUV's interior. It is obvious the Stelvio's driver environment will largely follow in the footsteps of the Giulia sedan, and fans of characteristic Alfa Romeo detailing like the gauge cluster "buckets" will be pleased to see familiar themes. The development mule here features light, birch-like wood around the shifter console, which may or may not make it into the production car. Despite appearing a little Volvo-like, the material is not out of place in the Stelvio, and we'd expect the production car to offer different trim options. Above that, a navigation screen is integrated in a similar fashion as the Giulia, and large paddle shifters garnish the steering column. The start-stop button mounted directly on the steering wheel is also a trait shared with the Giulia. The Stelvio is inching closer to production, with official unveiling expected in late 2016 or early 2017. Little by little, the test vehicle camouflage comes off, and compared to some earlier shots seen in April, the Stelvio mule has already lost the box disguising the rear window shape. Perhaps there's an attractive, sporty 4WD vehicle underneath it all.

B.A.T. Alfa Trinity, some of the world's most famous concept cars, are up for auction

Fri, Oct 16 2020

Of the cars that never saw production, there are a handful that nevertheless have had an outsized influence. Among the most famous are the wild Berlinetta Aerodynamica Technica (B.A.T.) concepts commissioned by Alfa Romeo in the mid-1950s. Three B.A.T. Alfas were created by Italy's Bertone design house and were unveiled at succeeding Turin auto shows in 1953, '54, and '55. The cars are now coming up for auction for the first time as a group at RM Sotheby's Contemporary Art Evening Auction in New York on October 28. The first of the trio was B.A.T. 5, which like its successors was built on the Alfa 1900 Sprint production chassis. The goal of the B.A.T. 5 was aerodynamic efficiency, and the car boasted a cD of 0.23. Aiding the cause were covered front wheels, a greenhouse with steeply curved side glass, and twin tail fins. The second concept was B.A.T. 7, from 1954. It has the wildest styling of the trio, with sharply curved tail fins. It also has the lowest drag coefficient, at 0.19. B.A.T. 9, from 1955, was the most production-feasible of the group. It features an Alfa Romeo shield grille at the front and exposed headlights with clear covers. All three are credited to Franco Scaglione, working with Nuccio Bertone. They were seen together for the first time at the 1989 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. They would appear together again at Pebble Beach in 2005 and at Bertone's 80th-anniversary celebration in 1992. The cars were acquired by a single owner sometime after their first Pebble Beach appearance. The ability to acquire all three at once is part of what makes this an extraordinary opportunity. The B.A.T. Alfas are being sold as a single lot and are expected to bring between $14 million and $20 million.
