The Alfa Romeo 2600 was the company's flagship from 1962 to 1968, succeeding the 2000 series. It's historically significant as the last Alfa Romeo to use a DOHC inline 6-cylinder engine, a design directly descended from Vittorio Jano's pre-war classics. The 2600 was offered as a Berlina sedan, a Sprint coupe by Bertone, and a Spider by Touring, each offering a distinct grand touring experience.
Collectors appreciate the 2600 for its sophisticated engineering and classic 1960s Italian styling. The Bertone-penned Sprint is the most sought-after model for its beautiful design, while the Touring Spider offers an elegant open-top experience. These cars offer a similar feel to more expensive Maseratis and Ferraris of the period but at a much more accessible price point.
The market for the 2600 is stable, with an average price of around $70,500. It's a niche classic, so sales volume isn't high, but excellent examples of Sprints and Spiders consistently trade for over $100,000. It remains a solid value for anyone seeking a carbureted, 6-cylinder Italian GT car.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary concern; meticulously inspect sills, floor pans, wheel arches, and jacking points.
- Body panels, especially for the Sprint and Spider, are nearly impossible to find. Prioritize a car with a straight, complete body.
- The 2.6-liter inline-6 is strong but expensive to rebuild. Check for oil leaks, listen for timing chain noise, and ensure good oil pressure.
- Interior trim and exterior chrome are scarce. A car with a complete interior will save thousands in restoration costs.
- The original Solex carburetors are complex. Many cars have been converted to Webers, which can improve reliability but impacts originality.
