with reference to your request we are informing you as follows.

According to our documentation files, the chassis number AR 664733 originally corresponds to an Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 “Duetto” (105.03), manufactured on the 11^th April 1967 and sold on the 12^th July 1967 in Elmhurst, USA.

The body colour is red, with black skai interiors.

Yours, Sincerely,

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.
