Owning an Alfa Romeo is an act of lust, self-sacrifice and pure aural pleasure. That’s because these Italian machines are full of character, quirky, and need the appropriate maintenance to perform at their best. Neglect an Alfa Romeo and everyone will be sad (car included). However, if you look after it the way it’s meant to be, and drive it with gusto, you’ll find it quickly becoming your happy place, your solitude space. Furthermore, if you select a car like this New York-based 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 TS that’s done just 37,000 miles, you’ll also be in charge of a definitive future classic, and a potentially appreciating asset.
This 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 TS comes in red because let’s face it, a bright red open-topped Alfa Romeo is the way to go. The paint job is new, and was completed in June 2024, we’ve been informed. This particular generation of Spider was released in 1993, and made for a little over ten years, which is why its design is definitely modern, even today. That dainty nose, dual circular headlamps and sloping front end all hark back to an era where good looks still prevailed over regulation and mandates. The car rides on a set of gold alloy wheels shod with new tires, and has also got a new black convertible soft top. Enter the two-seat passenger cabin of this car and you’ll quickly notice how driver-focused it is. The two major gauges (speed and engine revs) are housed in binnacles that can pretty much only be seen by the driver. The rev counter redlines at 7,000rpm which is a place you’ll want to venture quite a bit once you’ve heard and experienced the spunky Twin Spark unit. The center console is also angled towards the driver, and hosts the air conditioning system knobs, plus an aftermarket audio player from Alpine with Bluetooth capabilities. Behind the passenger cabin is a new wind deflector that helps reduce buffeting when driving with the top down – if you or your passenger are conscious of hair styles, this will be most useful.
This 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 TS gets its go-factor from a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated Twin Spark 4-cylinder engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The car is front-wheel drive but its handling prowess is so finely honed that you can have lots of fun with it. This car has reportedly received new rear shocks, a new timing belt for the engine, a new water pump, and a recent tune-up, apart from other things.

When one hears the words Alfa Romeo Spider, it’s not unlikely that the Dustin Hoffman film of the Sixties called The Graduate springs to mind. This was where the Alfa Romeo Spider showcased its beauty to the wider world in what better place than the silver screen. Yes, that was a Series 1 Spider. But the Spider endured on for decades, until 1993, across four series. Today, we have a Series 3 1989 Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate for sale from Orange, California. Yes, it’s in Graduate trim, as a homage to the epic status of its forefather. This car has done over 84,000 miles and comes with authentic Panasport wheels as well as a Nardi steering wheel. It’s got that soulful Twin Cam under the hood, and a manual transmission too. Driving nirvana, we say, and at a rather affordable price for a classic car. People may say that Alfa Romeos are unreliable, but in reality, they’re just a little high-strung; with the right care and attention, they’ll show you the time of your life. This car is no different.
They say you can’t be a true petrolhead without owning an Alfa Romeo.

1970 marked an important year for Buick’s midsize muscle car lineup, as the Skylark 350 Sport Coupe blended the brand’s signature comfort with increasingly aggressive performance styling. While Buick’s GS models often stole the spotlight, well-optioned Skylarks like this example have become increasingly appreciated for offering the same muscular A-body proportions and V8-powered driving experience at a more approachable level. Showing approximately 19,245 miles on the odometer, this Skylark benefits from a substantial refurbishment and modernization effort that included drivetrain work, suspension upgrades, steering enhancements, interior refresh, and cosmetic refinishing. Finished in Bamboo Cream over a Saddle vinyl interior, this Buick stands out with tasteful GS Stage 1-inspired styling cues, upgraded handling components, and classic American muscle car presence.
The first-generation Plymouth Barracuda helped establish Chrysler’s foothold in the emerging pony car market during the 1960s, blending compact dimensions with unmistakable Mopar styling and V8 performance. This 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible represents the final year of the first-generation A-body Barracuda and shows approximately 2,171 miles on the odometer. Finished in Ermine White over a black vinyl interior, this convertible has been upgraded with a potent 340ci Mopar V8 while retaining much of its classic period-correct charm. Featuring performance-oriented upgrades such as “J” cylinder heads, a Sure-Grip rear differential, Moser axles, and an aftermarket shift kit, this Barracuda offers a more spirited driving experience than its factory configuration while still capturing the laid-back cruising personality of a classic American convertible. With its clean styling, white soft top, and tasteful upgrades, this Mopar stands out as a unique and highly usable vintage cruiser.
There are custom builds, and then there are machines like this. This 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod shows just 710 miles and represents a complete reimagination of one of the most recognizable economy cars ever built. Far removed from its humble air-cooled origins, this Beetle has been transformed into a full custom hot rod powered by a Chevrolet LT1 V8, riding on a tubular chassis, and engineered with hardware more commonly found in purpose-built performance cars. From its chopped roofline and wide rear stance to its remote-controlled suicide doors and bespoke interior, this is a build created to command attention wherever it goes. The title carries a rebuilt designation noted in title history, which should be fully disclosed, but this vehicle’s appeal lies in its craftsmanship, engineering ambition, and sheer uniqueness rather than originality.
