Default For Sale: 1976 Alfa Romeo Spider

I'm selling a 1976 Alfa Romeo Spider 2000 Veloce for $4300 or for the best offer I receive. This car was converted to electric a number of years ago. I bought it as a project car, but it's more of a project that I have the time or know how to take on.
Here is a link to the site that was put up by the person who did the most recent conversion: http://www.evalbum.com/654 The pictures of the car at this link are not current. The current paint job of this car is in poor to fair condition. (I'm attaching a couple of current photos of the car.)


This Alfa Romeo does run, but needs some work as it won't currently go faster than 40 mph. The accelerator pedal was recently rewelded and may have been done so at the wrong angle. One or more of the batteries might also be bad.



For someone who knows what they are doing, this Alfa Romeo could be put into good working condition. Apparently it did run very well for a number of years as a converted electric vehicle. I've also been told that the components used in this car to convert it to electric are very high quality so it could also be that someone would buy this car and use the components in another car.


I do have a notebook to include in the sale of this Alfa Romeo which contains information about wiring and the various components used in converting the car to electric. Included with the car will be a little over one hundred extra Marathon Norco BB600 Nickel-Cadium batteries. These could be installed to extend how far the car could be driven when fully charged. I'm also including an extra heavy duty cord for charging the car.


If you would like any additional information, feel free to contact me. My e-mail address is: jugglertx@grandecom.net. I am located in Waco, Texas and if you would like to see this Alfa Romeo in person, that can certainly be arranged. The person buying the car will need to make their own transport arrangements.



Thanks for viewing this ad.

Default Re: For Sale: 1976 Alfa Romeo Spider

it looks 'interesting', but with a 6.7" diameter motor and curtis 1231 controller, most people would probably not see a lot of value in those components, except for the charger perhaps. Sounds like the clutchless tranny has held up, but there again, having a clutch appeals to a lot of people so that might impact the decision whether or not to stick with the current adaptor. Changing back to a clutched design might be problematic due to difficulty finding stock clutch/flywheel. Just mentioning all this so that you are aware of what its worth.
