There’s something truly great about the Italians. Their passion for things that surround our lives—the food, the cars—is unmatched, which is why this AutoHunter Spotlight is an exciting opportunity to show you a very special Italian: a 1966 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint coupe. It is powered by a 2,584cc inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Painted Dark Teal Blue over a blue leather interior, this senior Bertone-styled coupe comes from the selling dealer with records, a spare wheel, a clear title, and more.
The Dark Teal Blue paint was applied in 2020. Exterior features include dual black side mirror caps, a hood scoop, and front side-markers. A set of gray 15-inch wheels is wrapped in 165R400 Michelin radials.
The interior is furnished with the original blue leather. The shifter for the transmission sits on the floor between front bucket seats. A three-spoke steering wheel and power windows round out the interior features.
The instrument panel consists of a 150-mph speedometer, an 8,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the oil pressure, oil temperature, water temperature, and fuel level. The odometer shows 32,319 miles, with the true mileage believed to be 132,319 per the title.
The alloy 2,584cc DOHC inline-six is fed by three single-barrel Solex carburetors. It is backed by a five-speed manual transmission. The drivetrain received $7,900 worth of work earlier this year.
Underneath, an independent front suspension with double wishbones works in conjunction with a solid rear axle. The four-wheel disc brakes help this Alfa stop on a Lira. A single exhaust system carries fumes to the rear.
As you can tell, this 1966 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint coupe was quite the machine when new. Today, a little TLC will go a long way to bring it back to its full glory. Only about 1,000/year were built, and this one being a U.S.-spec car makes it even more unusual. Rather than getting seduced by the Spider 1600, you can have a car that seats four adults in comfort and draws power from an engine that makes your typical American small-block seem old hat. Cars like this only appear once in a blue moon, so be sure to place a bid before the auction ends on Monday, May 9, 2025, at 11:15 a.m. (PDT).
