1969 Alfa-Romeo Spyder 1750

For Sale

I've owned this 1969 Alfa-Romeo Spider since 1985.  A nearly five-year restoration was completed in December 2025.  The goal of the restoration was to return this Alfa to its original specifications.  Research shows it was originally white, so except for the color change, it now is very close to "as delivered"; the remaining "non-original" details could easily be remedied.  The sale includes all records, a rare OEM hardtop and its storage rack.

History of the 1966-1969 Alfa Romeo Spider Round Tail (Hagerty)

2dr Convertible 4-cyl. 1779cc/132hp FI: The 1950s vintage Alfa Romeo Giulietta and Giulia series of coupes and convertibles seemed like they could conceivably go on forever. Even as late as 1965, Road & Track was still singing the praises of the 1600cc Giulia Spider Veloce. Nevertheless, for the 1966 model year, Alfa began selling its replacement, named the “Duetto,” via a contest that Alfa ran with the Italian public. It was the last project in which Batista Pininfarina was personally involved. And while widely viewed as classic design today, it was met with some controversy when new. Power was initially from the familiar Alfa 1600cc twin-cam engine that powered the last Giulias. Emission laws affected Alfa particularly hard and 1968 was a lost year in the U.S. The car returned for 1969 with a 1750cc engine and SPICA mechanical fuel injection. 

The restoration was completed by Niederst Restorations in Ventura.  My goal then was to show the Alfa at the August 24th San Marino Motor Classic.  The Alfa had been accepted in July, but a foot injury that month would keep me from driving it.  A good friend and the owner of two classic cars, agreed to help out.  Early on August 24, we took the Alfa's top down and we followed Greg to the show in our Corolla.

The Alfa had a good location in the "Italian Sports Cars - Alfa Romeo 1946-1975" group.  It was hot, but shade and a breeze cooled us a bit.  I had checked the entry form to have the Alfa judged, but this request apparently didn't get through to the judging team.  So perhaps it would have been scored high 80s - low 90s?  Greg brought the Alfa back to Burbank. The next showing was in Van Nuys at the "The Best of France and Italy" show on November 2.

The rollbar was installed in 1995 to provide mounting points for shoulder belts.  It can be easily detached.

The Alfa has been driven 30,000 miles since the engine and transmission were rebuilt in Glendale in 1995.

Included is a near-original tool set and a spare set of keys. The shock absorbers are new, as are bushings in the rear trailing arms and the differential mount.
