Vehicle Description
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!!!
