1966 saw the introduction of the new Alfa Spider to replace the aging Giulietta Spider. Pininfarina designed and built the car based on the Giulia 105 chassis, with a shorter wheelbase. In 1967, the 1750 Spider Veloce was introduced. A four-cylinder 1,779cc engine motivated models sold in the States, which featured mechanical fuel injection by Spica. Performance was brisk with a 0-60 mph time of 9.2 seconds and a top speed of nearly 120 mph. Additional upgrades were made to the suspension, brakes, electrics, wheels and tires.
This straw colored 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider was traded to Brumos Porsche in 1973 by a University of Florida professor. The car was mechanically in excellent condition, but cosmetically below average. As a gift to his father, Robert Snodgrass Jr. had the car totally restored to original condition. The car remains in remarkable condition due to careful use by its owner and the car of the Brumos staff.
