This 1985 Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate was purchased by the seller’s father in 1999 and has resided in Texas since 2015 when they acquired it. The Pininfarina-inspired bodywork is finished in red over black vinyl with a matching black soft top. Power comes from a 2.0-liter inline-4mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The car has only been driven in fair weather and garaged when not in use. This Series 3 shows just over 121k miles on the odometer and is offered by the seller with a clear Texas title, a clean Carfax report, and service records.
The body is finished in red with a black convertible soft top with a plastic rear window. Black plastic trim surrounds the car's tail panel with an integrated decklid spoiler, while a single off-center exhaust exits through the lower rear valance. Polished dual side-view mirrors are mounted on the doors, while additional brightwork includes the windshield trim, headlight trim rings, and door handles. Several trim pieces have been replaced using original style parts
The 185/70 Goodyear Integrity tires with 2010 date codes are mounted on 14" slotted wheels, which do show some nicks and blemishes, photos can be seen in the gallery.
The interior is trimmed in black vinyl with color-matching dash and carpet. The three-spoke steering wheel and shift knob wear the standard wood-grain finish and an Audiovox stereo cassette is fitted below the auxiliary gauges. A crack is present in the dash above the left corner of the glove box as noted in photos.
Jaeger instruments show the mileage to be north of 121k, which is original to the vehicle. Photos show wear on the underside of the top and support brackets. The carpet-lined trunk houses the tool kit and a 1.5-ton jack.
Bosch fuel injection was introduced in the Series 3 in 1982 and is fitted to this vehicle's 2.0-liter twin-cam inline-4. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission with a final drive ratio of 4.1. Maintenance has been routinely performed at recommended intervals.
Additional underside photos are available in the gallery.
An owner's manual, service records, and a single set of keys will go with the car, as will a CARFAX report showing registration in California, Wisconsin, and Texas.

@nobrakes – Pretty car. Seller, who has serviced this car? Any record of timing belt service? The listing says Goodyear tires but the pictures are of a mismatched set. Have those Goodyears been installed since those pictures were taken? ...
I checked on the questions above: there is one Goodyear tire, and three tires from the Tire Rack store (two "Novas" and one "Aspen"). I do not have any service records indicating the timing chain has been tightened.
