This is a great car and super fun to drive. This Vehicle is in good shape for its age. It needs a few very minor things such as, new rear window, they are plastic and this one has a couple damaged places in it. It as with all of this year model is a convertible, the top is in good shape and operates fine. The motor has been professionally maintained and serviced since we bought it. it has a new hydraulic clutch, new plugs, new plug wires along with misc new vacuum lines. The tires and breaks are not new but in like new condition. This car was re painted by the person that owned it before us. There is only one blemish in the paint right behind the passenger side door. The interior is in excellent condition. Im not sure if the pervious owner replaced it or not but it looks new. I also still have the factory key. I have included some history of the car below. Serious bidders only please!! Series 3 Spider (1982/83–1989/90)[edit]Third generation Spider "Aerodinamica"OverviewProduction1983–1989PowertrainEngine1.6 L I4 2.0 L I4Transmission5-speed manualDimensionsWheelbase88.6 in (2,250 mm)Length168.8 in (4,288 mm)Width64.1 in (1,628 mm)Height48.8 in (1,240 mm)The Series 3 Spider was previewed in North America for the 1982 model year with the introduction of 2.0 liter Bosch electronic fuel injection to replace the SPICA mechanical injection.The Spider underwent a major styling revamp in 1983, which saw the introduction of black rubber front and rear bumpers. The front bumper incorporated the grille and a small soft rubber spoiler was added to the trunk lid. The change altered the exterior appearance of the car considerably and was not universally praised by enthusiasts. Various other minor mechanical and aesthetic modifications were also made, and the 1600 car (never available in North America) dropped the "Junior" name.The Quadrifoglio Verde (Green Fourleaf Clover) model was introduced in 1986, with many aesthetic tweaks, including sideskirts, mirrors, new front and rear spoilers, hard rubber trunk mounted spoilers with integral 3rd stoplight, unique 15" alloys and optional removable hardtop. Different interior trim included blood red carpets and gray leather seats with red stitching. QV was offered in only 3 colours: red, silver and black. It was otherwise mechanically identical to the standard Spider Veloce model, with a 1962 cc double overhead cam, four-cylinder engine (twin two-barrel carburetors in Europe; North American models retained the Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection introduced for the 1982 model year except that the VVT mechanism was now L-Jet activated) and five-speed manual transmission.[15]The interior was revised with a new center console, lower dash panels (to meet U.S. regulations) and a single monopod gauge cluster (with electronic gauges). For the North American market a model dubbed the Graduate was added in tribute to the car's famous appearance in the 1967 film, The Graduate, starring Dustin Hoffman.The Graduate was intended as a less expensive "entry-level" Alfa. While it had the same engine and transmission as the Quadrifoglio and Veloce, it lacked the alloy wheels and luxury features of the other two models. The Graduate model had manual windows, basic vinyl seats, a vinyl top, and steel wheels as standard. Air conditioning and a dealer-installed radio were the only options. It first appeared in 1985 in North America and continued until 1990.Minor changes occurred from 1986–89, including new paint colors, a center high mount stop lamp (CHMSL) midway through 1986 for North American models, a move away from the fade-prone brown carpet and new turn signal levers. Some 1988 models featured automatic seatbelts that extended from a large device between the front seats.On Jan-19-14 at 09:22:24 PST, seller added the following information: Series 2 Spider (1970–1982/83)[edit]Second generation Spider Junior 1.6 (1974) "Coda Tronca"OverviewAlso calledGiulia SpiderProduction1970–1982PowertrainEngine1.3 L I4 1.6 L I4[14] 1.8 L I4 2.0 L I4Transmission5-speed manualDimensionsWheelbase2,250 mm (89 in)Length4,120 mm (162.2 in)Width1,630 mm (64.2 in)Height1,290 mm (50.8 in)Curb weight1,040 kg (2,300 lb)In 1970 the first significant change to the exterior styling was introduced on the 1750 Spider Veloce, with the original's distinctive elongated round tail changed to a more conventional cut-off tail, called the "Kamm tail", as well as improving the luggage space. Numerous other small changes took place both inside and out, such as a slightly different grille, new doorhandles, a more raked windscreen, top-hinged pedals and improved interior trim.1971 saw the Spider Veloce get a new, larger powerplant - a 1962 cc, 132 hp (98 kW) unit - and consequently the name was changed from 1750 Spider Veloce to 2000 Spider Veloce. The 1600 Spider restarted production a year later as the Spider 1600 Junior, and was visually identical to the 1300.1974 saw the introduction of the rare, factory request, Spider-Targa. Based upon the Spider, it featured a Porsche style solid rear window and lift out roof panels, all made out of black GRP type material. Less than 2,000 models of such type were ever made and was the only part solid roof Spider until the introduction of the factory crafted hard top.The 1300 and 2000 cars were modified in 1974 and 1975 respectively to include two small seats behind the front seats, becoming a "two plus two" four seater. The 1300 model was discontinued in 1977. Also, between 1974 and 1976, the early-style stainless-steel bumpers were discontinued and replaced with black, rubber-clad units to meet increasingly stringent North American crash requirements.4,557 of 1300 Junior were made and 4,848 of 1600 Junior. 16,320 of 2000 Spider Veloce were made and 22,059 of 2000 Spider Veloce US version. 4,674 and 4,027 (US) 1750 Spider Veloce were made (this includes 'round tail' Spiders)
