Never owned an Alfa, but interested in buying one.
and a newbie on this forum ...
All the info. I need is probably buried in this forum somewhere, but I can't seem to find a "search" feature. That said, I wondered if anyone can give me a general rundown on Spider model years. I've heard that the early 80s cars are problematic -- less power, less reliable. When does "early 80s" stop being early 80s? I have a line on a very nice '83 -- I did find some h.p. figures and apparently they're up a bit from a low of 111HP in '81 to 115 in '83, which seems to last for several years. However, this is well down from 135 in the 1960s.
So, before I buy an emissions clogged dog, can anybody fill me in? Also, maybe a ball park value on a very clean, low miles, very well maintained '83
thanks
Dave
