1962 Alfa Romeo 106-Series 2600 Red

This 1962 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider the car is powered by a 2.6-liter DOHC inline-six that breathes through triple Solex carburetors and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Additional features include servo-assisted brakes with front discs, coil-spring suspension, silver-painted steel wheels, and a body-color hardtop. The 2600 platform was introduced as Alfa Romeo’s flagship range in 1962 and was offered as a sedan, coupe, or convertible, the latter of which wore coachwork from Touring of Milan. Finished in red, this example is said to have received a repaint under previous ownership and is equipped with a color-matched hardtop with a wraparound rear window. Additional features include integrated driving lights flanking horizontal grille openings, a low-profile hood scoop, a driver-side mirror, and stepped taillights. A chip in the finish is present over the right driving light. Silver-painted steel wheels wear bright hubcaps and are wrapped in 165R400 Michelin X tires, as is a spare housed in the trunk. Vacuum-assisted brakes incorporate discs up front and finned aluminum drums at the rear. The cabin is trimmed in black leather over low-backed front bucket seats and a rear bench, with color-matched upholstery over the door panels and dash. Additional features include color-keyed carpeting covered by black and silver Coco Mats up front as well as front lap belts, roll-up windows, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, and a lockable glovebox. The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of Veglia instrumentation including a 150-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges monitoring coolant temperature, oil temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 93k miles, approximately 300 of which have been added under current ownership. The 2.6-liter inline-six incorporates an aluminum block and cylinder head, seven main bearings, dual overhead camshafts, a finned sump, and triple dual-throat Solex carburetors. Service under current ownership approximately 200 miles ago reportedly included an upper-end overhaul and rebuilds of the carburetors. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an all-synchromesh five-speed manual transmission, and the clutch is said to have been replaced under current ownership approximately 200 miles ago. Independent front suspension incorporates unequal-length A-arms and an anti-roll bar, while the solid-axle rear features triangular thrust rods and radius rods. Coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers are utilized all around. Corrosion is visible on the exahust components and various underside surfaces.
