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.

Alpine A110 vs Alfa Romeo 4C Review | Two sports cars enter

Mon, Sep 16 2019

YORKSHIRE, U.K. – A proven ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is all part of Alfa RomeoÂ’s romantic charm. With bodywork like red satin draped over a carbon fiber tub and the promise of a mid-engined, Italian exotic for Cayman money, the 4C was certainly a bold vehicle to relaunch the brand to the American market. Pebble Beach types could appreciate its inspiration in the gorgeous, minimalist Alfa Romeo coupes of the past. Everyone else could kid themselves it was basically a baby Ferrari, never mind the fact it only had 237 horsepower and a four-cylinder engine. At first blush, the 4C was a riot, and remains so in the Spider form itÂ’s still sold in. And it gets the blood pumping in the way a fling with an exotic Italian should, especially compared with the Germanic 50 shades of gray alternatives. I can remember the thrill at driving one back in 2014, its Italian license plates making it feel all the more exotic. It may only have cost $60,000, but it hogged attention like a Ferrari worth four times that. The fun didnÂ’t last. As seductive as the fundamental formula was and still is, time and more measured eyes ultimately found the 4C to be lacking. The ugly, fat-rimmed steering wheel turned out to be a useful visual metaphor for the feel it delivered, simultaneously under-geared and punishingly heavy, especially at low speeds. At higher ones the kickback was violent enough it needed quarter-turn corrections even traveling in a straight line. And the binary power delivery smothered whatever finesse there might have been in the chassis. Its on-limit handling, on track and in the wet, was spooky. Shocked, I called a friend with an old Exige and asked to drive his car along the same route. That I concluded youÂ’d be better off with a 10-year-old Lotus definitely didnÂ’t win me many friends in Milan. Which begs the question: What does the apparently similar Alpine A110 do differently to have earned such overwhelming praise among the same reviewers here in Europe who damned the 4C? Performance stats are comparable, as is the AlpineÂ’s pricing in markets in which it is sold. Both tap into the nostalgia and heritage of their respective brands, not least in the historic long-distance European road rallies both excelled in.

Alfa Romeo C43 is ready for the 2023 Formula One season

Tue, Feb 7 2023

Following rival Red Bull's lead, Alfa Romeo has become the second team to unveil the car it will race in the 2023 season of Formula One. (Haas has revealed its livery, but so far not the new season's car.) Called C43, the single-seater Alfa stands out from its predecessor with a new aerodynamic profile and a redesigned livery, among other changes. The C43's red and black livery is the work of the Alfa Romeo Centro Stile, which is the same design center that draws the storied Italian company's road cars. Alfa Romeo describes the C43 as an evolution of the C42, its predecessor, and it notes that a technical team led by Jan Monchaux developed it around a new, Ferrari-sourced power unit. It features several updates and numerous new parts, though full details haven't been released, and Alfa Romeo hopes the changes made to the C43 will allow its team to improve during the 2023 season. "This car is an evolution of last year's, reflecting the new regulations and introducing major changes in the areas where we found improvements to be needed. I hope it's going to be quicker than the successful car we had last year, that's what matters most, and more reliable as well: We have put a lot of effort in this direction," said Monchaux, the technical director of Alfa Romeo's Formula One team. Alfa Romeo will begin testing the C43 in Barcelona, Spain, in February, and it will then send the car to Bahrain for more testing ahead of the 2023 F1 season's first race. Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu will drive for Alfa Romeo during the upcoming season. And while the odds of non-professional drivers taking the C43 for a spin are low, anyone with or without a license will be able to drive it in the F1 2022 video game.

Lazzarini dreams up Ferrari-powered, Hennessey-tuned Alfa Romeo 4C

Wed, Nov 19 2014

If there are any two firms you could count on to shoehorn a Ferrari V8 into the back of an Alfa Romeo 4C, they would almost certainly be Lazzarini Design and Hennessey Performance. The former already dreamt up doing the same with a Fiat 500, and the latter has been shattering records with a similar conversion performed on a Lotus Elise to turn it into the Venom GT. What you see here is their lovechild. Designed by Lazzarini and enhanced by Hennessey, the 4C Definitiva does – at least in theory – what Maserati was not prepared to do: shoehorn a Ferrari-sourced V8 engine into the back of Alfa's nimble little sports car. The powerplant is borrowed from the Ferrari 458 Italia and tuned by Hennessey to produce a claimed 738 horsepower and 532 pound-feet of torque. In a package weighing just 2,100 pounds, that's said to be enough to propel Frankenstein's four-wheeled monster to 60 miles per hour in a scant 2.5 seconds and across the quarter-mile in 9.5 seconds at 137 mph. Those are LaFerrari levels of performance. As you can see, the engine transplant calls for a widened rear track, and is accompanied by more aggressive aero as well. Of course, the design may be little more than an idea at the moment, but Lazzarini is apparently looking for customers to commission the first examples, at a reported price of 260,000 euros, which is about five times the going rate for a stock 4C and more than Ferrari gets for the 458 Speciale. Whether it's worth that much is one question. Whether Lazzarini and Hennessey could actually deliver on the promise is an even bigger one.
