Vehicle Detail
For sale is this one of a kind numbers matching 1961 Alfa Romeo Sprint Speciale. This stunning example of the progressively designed and entirely unique SS is absolutely gorgeous and factory correct in its beautiful and extensive restoration. You would be hard-pressed to find a more complete and well running Sprint Speciale for your Italian supercar collection. Finished in its factory Rosso Red paint over a black leather interior with red piping, the body exhibits astonishing depth and luster. All gaps fit as they should and the car is straight and free of rust. The paint shows only the fewest and most insignificant of blemishes that our photographs would not be able to highlight, none of which detract from the cars integrity and overall condition. The bright work on the Alfa is gorgeous and complements the cars Rosso finish beautifully. The interior is equally as spectacular. The correct factory leather seats are in excellent shape. The dash and door panels are wonderful. The carpets and headliner are excellent as well. I am happy to go into more detail and specifics on the cars cosmetics or options over the phone or in person with any interested collector. The car presents better than shown in our photography. It is truly a special SS survivor. The mechanicals are superb. The car always fires when cold and maintains a very steady idle. There is ample power and excellent compression throughout each cylinder. The transmission pulls strongly through each gear without grinding or hesitation. This was a car designed to be as aerodynamic as possible and it shows in its design and overall mechanical performance with an impressive top speed at over 125 mph. You will not be let down by this wonderful example of Italian sports car history. Please bid accordingly. We want this car to go to a great home, so please feel free to email me or give us a call at (805) 886-1823 or (805) 708-2404 if you have any additional questions. Thanks for your interest. GOODMAN REED MOTORCARS While I have a California dealer license, I’m not your typical dealer. I’ve always had an appreciation for classic cars and have always bought and sold them to create a kind of very small revolving personal collection, which, up until this posting, has contained the Alfa Romeo you’re currently looking at. I try to give accurate descriptions of the cars I’m selling, but I’m not an expert and I encourage and am happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms my ability to make sales with other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding. For U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction's end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction's end. Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of auction’s end. Buyer is responsible for shipping, however I'd be more than happy to help with recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction's end. Thanks for your interest.
