I like the 91 spiders much more than the earlier L Jetronic spiders. The
91 has more power, better air conditioning and power steering. My wife likes
the last part. And I think they are much better looking than any of the Alfas
since the chrome bumpers went away after 1974.
A rust bucket 88 will make
someone a great parts car. Put it on Craigs list.
You did not ask, but If
the parts car runs and drives, has good upholstery and top, it is probably
worth up to $1000, maybe more in your area. It all depends on the condition
of the parts. A running engine means the computers are OK. Great seats
increase the value, obviously.
On the other end of the scale, I have paid
as little as $250 for a complete 82 spider with a perfect body, stuck engine
and missing seats. 1982 is the first year for Bosch injection, so I will fix
the car, if I can get a title for it. A totally rust free body is worth $250
as an empty shell.

Finally back in a real car
After four years waiting for my '88 Spider Veloce
to come back to life (DC
salt required a complete body overhaul), I finally
found the perfect
replacement: California-raised '91 Spider Veloce, 52k, mint
body. I can't
tell you how good it feels to get back in a real car (my
temporary driver
was a convertible Volvo-ugh!).
The sad news is that I have
to finally give up on my '88. Anyone near the
San Francisco Bay Area who is
looking for a project, let me know!
