1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Description

Original Owner - it is a "Graduate" with a Shankle aftermarket aerodynamic kit, car has been in two minor accidents, 119K miles, it runs and drives but has only been driven 4000 miles in the last 15 years so it needs some work. For all intents and purposes it is a "PROJECT CAR". A non-refundable deposit of $150.00 is due within 24 hours of auction end. Remaining amount due within 5 business. Winning bidder is responsible for arranging pick up or shipping - I do not recommend driving the vehicle more than a few miles in its present condition. Email with questions, a Pre-Purchase inspection is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED at your convenience. Vehicle is located in Pensacola Florida.

Added 5/24/2017 - Disclosure: The vehicle history report does not list two prior accidents primarily because they were minor in nature. First accident was a dent to the passenger side door along the bottom. This occurred in a parking lot and the driver left the scene. The paint on the passenger side is faded in the area of the repair and there is some spider webbing of the paint inside the door frame. Accident Two - I was hit in the rear while making a turn resulting in a bent bumper and a crease on the passenger side just behind the door (see images). The bumper was replaced however, the dent remains.
