The seller of this beautiful 1750 Spider (also known as the “Graduate,” a name borrowed from the 1967 masterpiece film of the same name, starring a brilliant Dustin Hoffman) says the car is in original condition. He states that it has never been in an accident or repaired, that it has zero rust, and that… Read More Cromodora wheels: 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1750
No, with this post we’re not suggesting that anyone take on the restoration of this Spider, which would make no sense economically, given that the point of no return for the bodywork was passed at least twenty years ago. It would be a $100,000 restoration that, after a couple of years, would give you a… Read More You tow: 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1750
Not many people know that before introducing this car, Alfa held a contest to choose a name for it. The name “Duetto” won and was initially given to the car, but it was soon removed because it was claimed by a confectionery company that had already registered the name for one of its snacks. Fun… Read More 40 years owned: 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1750
Seeing an unrestored and basically rust-free 1967 Alfa is a rare event, yet it does happen once in a while. Now, we are only deducing this from the photos provided by the seller but at a cursory glance it seems that this car has not paid too much toll over the passage of time, perhaps… Read More Dry ivory: 1967 Alfa Romeo Spider 1600
Unlike other classic cars, for the Spider Alfa Romeo first series, the rule applies that the latest model produced is the one that is worth more. In our case the latest model is also the most powerful, i.e. the one equipped with the DOHC engine with a displacement of 1750 cc, universally appreciated above all… Read More White project: 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider
There is a lot of work to be done here: not so much for the condition of both cars – yes, there are two – but, precisely because both should be fixed. One has the title and the other does not: it will certainly be the new owner who will decide what to do with… Read More Half papers: 2 x 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1750
“Duetto”, “Osso di Seppia”, “Boattail”, “Graduate” are all names and nicknames given to this model, probably only the Volkswagen Typ 1 received a greater number of nicknames during its 50 year long production. So call it what you prefer but we are pretty sure that you know the model well, and many of you also… Read More Ready to graduate: 1967 Alfa Romeo 1600 Spider
“Osso di Seppia” (cuttlefish bone) is the nickname given in Italy to the heir of the Giulietta Spider, shown to the public for the first time in 1966, then called “Duetto”. In reality, the name “Duetto” was later removed due to the civil lawsuit filed against Alfa Romeo by an Italian food company that produced… Read More Osso Di Seppia: 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1300
We were amazed to see a Duetto in silver: it was a factory color code (AR728), however it is rare to find one that was born in this color. And in fact, this specimen, according to the seller, was born in white. The seller also says the car has been repainted by the previous owner… Read More Silver streak: 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto
Let’s stay in France also today as we found a very interesting car, both in terms of model and price. The Duetto 1750, in fact, with the type 541 engine, was the latest evolution of that iconic car made famous by the film “The Graduate”, starring Dustin Hoffman: in the case of the film it… Read More Think green: 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto 1750
