For Sale: 1973 Alfa Romeo 2000 in Englewood, Colorado

Early Alfas are terrific period sports cars, with advanced twin-cam engines, 5-speed transmissions and even four-wheel disc brakes! Unlike their British contemporaries, they even had roll-up windows and easy-to-erect convertible tops. Consequently, they were very popular and most had the wheels run off of them.

It's hard to find one with the original engine, crash-free bodywork and solid floors these days, and many have had dubious modifications over the years. This little sweetheart managed to dodge all that. It was sold new in Texas and then spent most of its life in Arkansas before coming to Colorado. Always Alfa Red, it had been repainted once years ago, but showed no sign of doors & rocker panels full of Bondo or body damage. It still has its original Spica fuel injection (that has recently had the injection pump rebuilt) and the car has great compression across all cylinders and good 2nd gear synchros.

That and the overall condition of the car leads us to suspect-with no proof-that the 97K miles are probably accurate. The gentleman we bought the car from had owned it for years and had the interior refurbished and a new top installed not long ago. Given the overall condition of the Alfa, our shop decided it merited giving it a proper new respray in the original color. We did some minor rust repair in the spare tire well and a spot on the floor, mounted five new tires and now it's ready for a new Alfisti to enjoy. Selling for less than our shop usually charges for a decent paint job, pay for that and you could say you're getting the car for free!

If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself. Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car, and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see 'where the magic happens.' If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
