"Unrestored" 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate For Sale is this remarkable, beautiful, super clean, "90% original" 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate. This car is not like the rest of the Alfa Spider's you see on here or anywhere else. This Alfa Romeo has been locked up and stored just about all its life. For a car that is 28 yrs old (almost 30 yrs old) it doesn't look a day over 5 or maybe 6 yrs old. There are below 58 "detailed" pictures of how clean this car is. From front to back to under and anywhere you'd like to look, this car is simply "breathtaking". The only thing far as I know since I am the 3rd owner I can say the top has been replaced along with the stock springs. It has the correct nice racing springs (receipt to back it up). I was told by the 2nd owner that the first owner told him he ordered this car with all three options. (and you could only order 3 options for the Graduate). That would make this car a fully loaded Graduate. One option was air conditioning. The second was a radio, which supposedly this car is a delete radio option car. I do not have block off plate for it though. The third was speakers, which being a delete radio car the speakers would have been deleted as well. I was told that he (the first owner) took this Alfa back to the dealership a few years after purchasing it and had them install a radio and speakers. I however do not have the paperwork on the radio delete option but I do trust the source. This Alfa is a 1987 so that means it is the "20th Anniversary car" to the movie "The Graduate" starring Dustin Hoffman. Car comes with jack and hardware, tool kit, dealership brochure, owners manual, 6 year / 60,000mile rust protection warranty booklet, maintenance program booklet, and all receipts on car including road service records. This car has never left Ohio in its life and is 98% rust free. There is one small crack in the windshield (I bought it that way) and its located on the passenger bottom corner. I didn't replace it due to "originality" and the same for the 2nd owner, and honestly its really not that noticeable. I have an estimate from a local glass shop (was just curious) , and I have already took the cost out from my asking price for the damage. The passenger seat does have a rip in it the size of a quarter and has been patched. Other then that, that's the only thing I can see that this car needs. It does have a few very very little dings but once again its a 30 yr old car. If the windshield, the seat, or a very very little ding is the only thing keeping you from buying this car then your missing the whole point, this car is not a new car, its almost 30 yrs old, that's the amazing part. Spider has 88,410 highway miles. Does have a Ameritech car phone that works like new (can't get service on it, I tried, bummer right?) The neighbor kids asked me how do you text on it lol, right? NADA Value of $16,065 High Retail Value (with only air conditioning option) This vehicle would be in excellent condition overall. It could be a completely restored or an extremely well-maintained original vehicle showing very minimal wear. The exterior paint, trim, and mechanics are not in need of reconditioning. The interior would be in excellent condition. Note: This value does not represent a '100 Point' or '# 1' vehicle *. * '100 Point' or '# 1' vehicle is not driven. It would generally be in a museum or transported in an enclosed trailer to concours judging and car shows. This type of car would be stored in a climate-regulated facility.

We (my family) and I have talked about it and have lowered the price to $17,500. Its time to find another home for our Alfa that it will be taken care of as much as we have taken good care of it. FYI : the picture of the reflection in the trunk paint, towards the bottom, that is not a scratch, its an airplane con-trail in the sky. If you download that pix and flip it, you'll see. Overall, I have took this car to car shows and it always turns heads. People have said to me, "man, you did a good job restoring it". I always say, "its original, I didn't restore it". The appreciation from that person really shines when they find out its not restored, they just can't get over a car from Ohio not destroyed by salt, or owner neglect. The car itself is just spectacular for its age, and the craftsmanship is just mind blowing. The Italians are known for building wonderful cars and that's what this is. The time period styling and the luxury of this car is still in style today. This car is a head-turner, from people seeing that "Pininfarina" badge or people thinking about Dustin Hoffman in "The Graduate" and looking for Mrs. Robinson. Just seeing one look at these pictures and you can tell, it's like walking into a time capsule. You will remember just how many years have really gone by...
