1986 Alfa Romeo Spider

This 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate is an irresistible mix of classic driving nimbleness and the right modern investments. So no matter if you love an Alfa in red, or love the sound of an awesome stereo when the top is down, this is a desirable total sports car package.

The Graduate turned a beautiful Italian sports car into a legend. It gave Alfa Romeo its own version of a Porsche 911 where fans were content to see it evolve, but only slowly, for decades. It has such an undying legacy that it's hard not to picture the movie The Graduate when seen a red Spider -- even if this one is decades younger. More than just a legend, this example continues to attract attention because the lines of Pininfarina's body continue to look clean, crisp, and sharp. The red paint was given a later respray to make sure it radiates in the sunshine. The black folding roof looks nice, and the wraparound rubber trim (front and rear,) full-length black trim strips, and rear spoiler coordinate with it to create an almost two-tone appearance. And there are nice details, like the new windshield. So it's a well-respected classic.

While the movie The Graduate was about a complicated relationship, the setup of The Graduate Edition Spider likes to keep it simple. Roll-down windows and a roof that folds back with one hand have a refreshing uncomplicatedness to open this one up to the world. But even with simplicity, there are still the right features. It's a factory air conditioning car, and so you can service it if you want to return the feature. And the stereo has been upgraded to an AM/FM/CD unit with Bluetooth, USB, and a powered subwoofer. The black interior feels clean and comfy, and so while it's unknown if the odometer reflects the full mileage, it certainly feels inviting and respected. Plus, no other car speaks to your enthusiast's soul quite like an Alfa Romeo. The body-hugging bucket seats, grippy steering wheel, unique shifter position, and crisp Jaeger gauges all make for something quite special.

The driving passion also comes from the motor. The 2.0-liter powerhouse is a continuation of the lightweight twin-cam motor that has made Alfa Romero a true enthusiast's brand. And a later version like this means more reliable fuel injection. This even has been given a solid investment within the last few years, including a new fuel tank, fuel lines, battery, transmission mount, and serviced fuel injectors. You take full control through the five-speed manual transmission that shifts cleanly thanks to a new clutch (2021). And at this time, you begin to feel the legendary harmony as the motor, gearbox, sports suspension, and you are all part of this dynamic instrument that can see the holes in traffic and finds the open road. Add in four-wheel power disc brakes and newer Hankook tires (2021), and this one is turn-key ready for excitement.

Complete with maintenance records, an Alfa Spider has pure driving fun wrapped in timeless style. So it's time to act now if you want to take this one home. Call today!!!
