1973 Alfa Romeo Spider 
VIN:  AR3041818 
Miles:  Odometer shows 65K.  Unknown if this is accurate, but odometer works. 
Private seller.  
Non-smoker. 
Baby on the way, two door cars must go.   

The early 70’s “S2” Spiders are some of the best and most desirable you can find.  Lightweight, good power, great handling, small bumpers, and beautiful styling.    
This example is a great driver car; it runs, stops, shifts, drives, and handles amazing.  Enjoy for many years ‘as is’, or restore as you go.    I believe the paint is original; looks good from far, but is far from good.  Some surface and some swiss cheese rust in the typical lower body exterior, but nothing structural.   
 Excellent compression on all cylinders:  140, 135, 135, 140 
 All instrument gauges and four main dash indicators work. 
 Constant coolant temp at 180 degrees, constant oil pressure above 57 
 Heater works well and blows hot. 
 Comes with new car cover.   
 No known accidents.  Clean title in hand.  Passed Colorado DMV inspection (all the important things WORK as they should), currently licensed and insured.

Tasteful upgrades and/or newly replaced:
JVC KD-X80BT head unit with remote plays digital music loaded on USB flash drive + four Blaupunkt GTX speakers, and Infinity Basslink 200-Watt, Dual 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer 
Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 Anthracite wheels; 15x7x30, 4x108; 73mm center bore 
High performance BF Goodrich Super Sport A/S Tires 205/50/ZR15 
IAP performance headers, custom exhaust straight back to ANSA muffler 
Full SPICA rebuild by Wes Ingram in 2012, runs great.  Maintenance and Tuneup guides included 
LED interior and exterior lighting – dash lighting is visible! 
K&N filter 
Recovered leather seats and dash cap 
Rebuilt driveshaft – no vibration! 
Upgraded to cross drilled rotors + rebuilt calipers. 
New clutch.  New radiator.  New Koni Sport shocks and performance springs (from IAP).  New gas tank and fuel pump.  New pointless distributor, Bosch coil, and battery.  New top, boot cover, sump guard.  
Chrome trim and new windshield included (existing windshield has wiper scratches across passenger side) 
New sport three spoke steering wheel.
New firewall and roof track drainage tubes – no wet floors! 
Upgrades in the last 12 months alone total over $7,500

Known issues: 
Typical 2nd gear synco can crunch if not familiar with how to properly drive these cars, or ‘double clutch’
Non-structural rust spots in lower fenders and wheel arches – very repairable. Dented nose.
Slight transmission/Diff leak – maybe a drop or two per week?  Very minimal for a 1973 Alfa. 
Previous owner temporally fixed eroding floorpans with thick aluminum plate reinforcement and undercoating.  A solid fix, but if restoring, they will need attention. 
Passenger window missing a gear tooth, but does fully roll up and down with slightly more effort than usual needed. 
Windshield washer reservoir cracked.  Replacement bag type in hand but not installed.  Pump and sprayers work. 
LED bulbs create a ‘fast blink’ issue on turn signals and dash turn signal indicator not flashing   

Car is listed on other sites, I reserve the right to end auction early.  Based on condition, rarity, upgrades, and comparable sales, I believe the price is fair.  First $4000 takes it.  
 
Buyer info:  You are responsible for shipping, located in 80215.  Half payment due at auction close, half upon receipt of vehicle.   Paypal preferred.   Serious inquires only.  No warranty expressed or implied.  Title is in hand and will be sent over night once full payment is received. I have a perfect Ebay seller and buyer rating, so bid with confidence.

Alfa Romeo range-topping sports car confirmed for 2023 debut

Fri, Aug 19 2022

Alfa Romeo's on-again, off-again range-topping sports car is back in the pipeline. Company boss Jean-Philippe Imparato confirmed that a two-door flagship is on track to make its debut in 2023 as a concept whose exterior design will draw inspiration from historic models. "You will see something in that field in terms of sportiness in the first half of 2023. We use one word to define the brand, and it's 'sportiness,'" the executive told British magazine Autocar. He's previously voiced his support for bringing back the dormant GTV and Duetto nameplates. Imparato added that the yet-unnamed model will borrow styling cues from the Tipo 33, though he didn't specify which version of the car he has in mind. Alfa raced several evolutions of the Tipo 33 from 1966 to 1977, and it sold 18 units of a Franco Scaglione-designed supercar with a mid-mounted engine called 33 Stradale (pictured) between 1967 and 1969. We're guessing it's the latter that will provide inspiration. Numerous points remain up in the air, like what will power the car. "For the moment, I have two scenarios: full ICE or full EV," he revealed to Autocar. Regardless, the model "will be very exciting, very selective, and very expensive." It sounds like production will be limited. We're about four months away from 2023, so we won't have to wait long to discover the concept that Alfa Romeo is working on. Executives have toyed with the idea of adding a sportier model to the range for several years, but they have never pulled the trigger. Imparato explained in 2021 that the brand wouldn't release another two-door car until it increased its sales in more mainstream segments of the market. What's changed since then is unclear; the Tonale unveiled in February 2022 is the only new Alfa Romeo released since. (A Dodge Hornet badge-engineered version of the Tonale was revealed this week.) Traveling further back, in 2018 former Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) boss Sergio Marchionne announced that the 8C and GTV names would make a comeback on a pair of coupes. The former was presented as having a carbon fiber chassis and 700 horsepower thanks to a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain built around a mid-mounted turbocharged V6. The latter was also planned as a hybrid, but it would have offered drivers 600 horsepower, and a sketch made it look like a two-door version of the Giulia sedan. Both cars were canned by 2019.
