For Sale: 1963 Alfa Romeo Spider in Greenwood, Indiana for sale in Greenwood, IN
Vehicle Description This is a 1963 Alfa Romeo Guilia 101 Spider 1600 barn find! It is a running and driving car that we just purchased out of 46 years of storage and ownership.
It was stored since the mid-70's in the third owner's workshop building at home until his passing last year.
It was driven and enjoyed until the late 1970's then put up and never driven until we purchased it.
It has 52k actual miles.
We installed all new brake cylinders, cleaned out the fuel tank and fuel system, installed a new set of Vrederstein radial tires and then drove it.
It runs, stops and drives well and the 5-speed manual transmission shifts nicely.
It is a running and driving car but will need some restoration work in the long run.
It has some rust underneath but it is a very solid car that can be enjoyed right now and fixed up or restored along the way.
It does need a top, the interior needs work and the chrome is old and does need re-plating.
The owner's son told me that the motor was completely rebuilt about 2 years before his father put the car up in storage in the late 1970's and he thinks it only was driven a couple thousand miles since the rebuild.
The motor runs strong and sounds great! It does need a lot of cosmetic help but from 20 feet away it looks pretty good and is very presentable! It was originally white with red interior but the second owner had it painted this shade of medium metallic blue in the early 1970's.
The third owner, who we purchased it from, was an engineer, wood craftsman and artist.
He hand painted some interesting artwork and stripes in the engine compartment and in the trunk that gives it a bit of an individualistic flare! It is titled as a 1964 Alfa Romeo but the vehicle identification number shows that it was built in early 1963 so it really is chronologically a 1963.
This is a really great car for the enthusiast who does not mind doing some restoration work in their own time while driving and enjoying it right now!!!!.
