Harry's Thoughts
THE ESSENTIALS
This is the iconic 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce (105.62) that has been beautifully restored as a weekend classic driver, for touring or show. It is presented in the classic Russo red livery with new tan leather interior. We are huge fans of Alfas, and this is one to seriously consider. The 1969 Alfa offered here is the last of the Round Tails.
According to factory records, this Alfa Spider was first sold on the 13th of May 1970 to Alfa Romeo Germany, Frankfurt. Its early years were spent in Ohio and on July 16, 2010, Wedgewood Sports acquired the Alfa from Frank Porreca with a mere 95,000 miles accumulated since new. Through 2010 and 2011, the Alfa benefitted from a significant restoration undertaken by Wedgewood Sports and Import in Powell, OH. Wedgewood Sports had been working on Alfas for over 30 years before commencing the restoration. A full rebuild of the original engine and drivetrain commenced and included a Weber performance cam set, suspension upgrades and more. A full bare metal repaint was also performed in its original Russo (Paint Code 514- Red). New GTA Alloy Wheels were installed and most all of the seals, emblems and other components were replaced with new. New Carello Perspex Headlight Covers were installed and look terrific! Included in the sale is a significant file with receipts for all the parts associated with its restoration. Upon request, we can send you an email link with 50 pages of just parts for the restoration.
The Russo Paint has gorgeous shine and luster and has been polished for show. The paint quality is very nice and looks great with the tan leather interior and black top. Most of the chrome and stainless-steel trim are new, but the bumpers and certain other trim are original and in good condition. Later, the Alfa received its present gorgeous tan leather interior, which is in exceptional condition today. The black Haartz canvas convertible top is as-new and fits very well. The black vinyl top boot is also as-new and looks great. Overall, this is a wonderful Alfa Romeo that can be enjoyed as a classic driver, toured or shown. It needs nothing to be enjoyed today.
The engine compartment displays Alfa’s 1.8-liter twin overhead cam four-cylinder engine that is still considered a classic masterpiece. The engine compartment is very well detailed and displays the two Weber carburetors that help the performance and reliability of the drivetrain. The five-speed transmission was also rebuilt and shifts well through the gears. The Vredestein radials are new and have few miles. The undercarriage has been well detailed and painted and looks great.
This Alfa comes complete with nearly 15 years of history, restoration and parts receipts, shop manual, tools and ownership history.
