For Sale: 1967 Alfa Romeo Duetto in Bennington, Vermont for sale in Bennington, VT
Vehicle Description This 1967 Alfa Romeo Duetto 1600 Spider, from the early first series of this long-running model, is offered by a selling dealer that specializes in classic European cars and motorcycles.
The seller notes the car has benefitted from light restoration services, and all elements of the car present very well in the photos.
The selling dealer states the mileage is believed to be accurate.
The Alfa Romeo Spider, introduced in 1966 to replace the automaker's Giulia Spider, would be offered in three subsequent series until 1994, getting design and powertrain updates along the way.
Pininfarina designed the Spider and assembled it for Alfa for the model's entire run.
The sloping boat tail design was used only on the first series cars through 1969 and sets it apart from the later versions.
Notably, the first-series Alfa Spider was known as the Duetto, a winning name submitted for a contest the automaker held.
The winner got the new sports car, but Alfa Romeo found it could not use the name, as a snack maker had already trademarked it.
So, the roadster was named Spider 1600 for the 1.
6-liter engine in this first series.
The Spider achieved fame in the iconic 1967 movie, The Graduate, and the car became so identifiable with that film that Alfa Romeo issued a lower-priced version of the Spider called Graduate in the 1980s.
A twin-cam four-cylinder engine, five-speed manual transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes made the Spider more advanced than most of its British competitors, and the Alfa outlasted all of them on the market.
