Still an open secret, the Alfa Spider soldiers on as a great way to get into an entry-level classic coachbuilt sports car. Whether carbureted or fuel injected, the 2-liter four cylinder is torquey fun, and has an intoxicating exhaust note that, while no Ferrari, signals that it’s something special when you hear it coming. Cool touches like the 45-degree console mounted shifter, large three-spoke wood-rim steering wheel and tach/speedometers in their own pods also make for something a little more special than their contemporaries. Sadly, attrition means a few more disappear every year, so it’s important to rescue the ones that are still out there, like this 1972 Alfa Romeo Spider for sale for $2300 in Boston, MA.
