1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Quadrifoglio Verde 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Quadrifoglio Verde "Spectacular restoration on a 38,018 mile car" Gorgeous Alfa Red Interior: Grey/Black/Red leather interior Convertible top: Black Convertible Boot: Black Engine: 2.0L double overhead camshaft /Bosch Fuel-injection Transmission: 5/speed manual Mileage: 38,018 Serial number: ZARBA5411G1040667 Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1966 to replace the aging Giulietta Spider, the Battista “Pinin” Farina-designed Spider was based on the Giulia 105 chassis. Expensive at introduction at $4000, almost the same as a Jaguar E-Type, it afforded entry into the world of Italian design and performance, i.e. “the Poor Man’s Ferrari”. It remained in production for almost 30 years, and until recently was Alfa’s last rear-wheel-drive car. The Spider was offered in three trim levels; the $20,500 Quadrifoglio Verde (“Four-Leaf Clover”, Alfa’s long-time good luck charm), the $17,000 Veloce, and the $14,000 entry-level Graduate. All were mechanically identical, with a five-speed and DOHC 2 liter under the hood; the differences were in the trim levels and materials. The Graduate made do with steel wheels and trim rings vs. (optional) alloys, vinyl roof and seats instead of cloth and leather, optional A/C, and manual-wind windows. Marketed to relate to the car Dustin Hoffman drove in 1967’s The Graduate (the movie that put Alfa “on the map” in the USA), it was a very popular model. After a naming contest which drew over 100,000 entries, the name that was selected presented legal copyright issues so Alfa Romeo stuck with the simple Spider 1600. A simple name belied the successful combination of very pretty lines on a successful chassis, so successful that the Spider remained in production for almost 30 years with very few changes. In 1970 Alfa introduced the Series 2 which featured minor changes to the interior and exterior, notably the squared off trunk lid and grill. The engine was upgraded to a 1962 CC engine and the car was renamed the 2000 Spider Veloce. 1982 saw the introduction of the Series 3 Spider, which featured a black rubber spoiler on the trunk lid but also introduced a 2.0-liter engine with Bosch Fuel Injection. THIS CAR...... THE QUADRIFOGLIO VERDE Few cars are as associated with a place as the Alfa Romeo is with Italy, and few cars are as associated with a brand as the Spider is to Alfa. This spectacularGreen Four-leaf Clover was a limited edition model introduced in 1986 with a number of aesthetic enhancementssuchas the red carpets and a hard rubber spoiler. It retained the 2.0-liter double overhead cam engine with 5-speed that makes the Spider such a joy to drive. It is well equipped with Factory Air-conditioning, Power windows, AM/FM Stereo Radio, Power remote outside driver's mirror, Leather interiorand it's original 2.0 liter, twin cam, Bosch fuel-injected engine and 5/speed manual transmission. You can buy this magnificently restored Limited Edition Four-leaf clover Alfa Romeo for less moneythan it cost torepaintand replace the interior and convertible top. On order and to be included at no charge is a brand new Convertible black boot. Among the many things done to restore this car to it's present condition ... Very expensive professional paint job New Interior,including new carpeting (both in the car and the trunk) New performance tires New convertible top (and a new boot is coming) I realize you can find these cars with high mileage and "dogged out" for $5,000-$10,000 but if your particular and want a car of this quality, here it is and at a price much less than you could restore one to this level...even if the car was a gift. Please call us at(954) 873-6495to make an offer or ask any questions. MARKET TREND As Alfa Romeo returns to the US with its new line of roadsters, interest has renewed in Alfa as a brand. This perking up has carried over to the latterly unloved 80’s spiders with a decent uptick in values for well-sorted cars. Though basket case spider values have remained flat, restored examples have risen and look set to continue that trend. SUMMARY It has often been said that every car collector should be required to own an Alfa Romeo at some point, and what better example of a post war Alfa can there be than a Spider? The word ‘iconic’ may be thrown about freely, but few would argue that it is appropriate to use with the Alfa Spider. REMEMBER THE "GOOD OL DAYS" THEY LOOKED SOMETHING LIKE THIS....
