This 1974 Alfa Romeo Spider is a Barn Find, and it's in all original condition. Initially, it had been stored inside. Then, it was stored outside with a car cover for a very long (nobody knows) time, and the car cover was in pieces when it was discovered. After cleaning out the old gas; changing the fuel filter, oil, oil filter, and spark plugs, it started right up! It runs a little rough. Apparently, 2 of the injectors are not working properly at idle RPM. However, at a higher RPM, all 4 of the injectors seem to be working fine. The COMPRESSION was tested and is "GOOD" in EACH of the 4 CYLINDERS! Also, the brake calipers are frozen, as a result of the car sitting for so long. After I drove it a very short distance, it felt kinda like driving with the emergency brake on. Obviously, a complete service on the entire brake system (pads, calipers, master cylinder, etc.) should be the first order of priority, before driving the car. It looks like there is a newer Ansa exhaust. The mileage cannot be verified... This Spider has a LOT of POTENTIAL! However, it will need a total restoration. As you can see in the pictures, the paint is old, and it's cracked in some places. Also, the floor pans will need to be either repaired or replaced, since they are rusted through. In the trunk, there is a partial tool kit, as well as the original jack.
