NO RESERVE

My grandfather bought this car (and a parts car...1963 Giulia) in 1980 when he retired. He tore the car apart and it sat until 2009.  The farm sold in 2009 and he had a little bit a money to put back into this project.  So, we started putting the car back together in 2009. 

Sadly, his health deteriorated quickly.  His final wish was to get a chance to drive this car again.  Unfortunately, he never got the chance to drive it.  But we were able to take him for a ride around the block several times.  After several strokes and due to growing medical bills and the inevitable hospice care that will be needed, we must let the car go. (I have several videos of him in car so that you can see and hear it running and driving)

The following is a description of the car as I know to be accurate.  I will not lie or falsify information just to sell the car.

The chasis is a 1961.  The engine came out of the parts car (1963) and thus has the 1600 in it.  We used the hood from the 1963 in order to clear the bigger engine.  Because we were rushed to put this car back together quickly, corners were cut.  Not going to lie about that.  However, one thing I'll stand behind is the body work.  The body work is fantastic.  Zero bondo in this car...everything was welded correctly and dents were pulled.  (I'll have more work in progress pictures for interested buyers) The paint is a nice driver....hardly show worthy. 

Mechanically, she won't win any prizes.  Master and wheel cylinders were rebuilt.  Engine was rebuilt...but I can't say one way or the other if it was done correctly. It has the 5 speed from the 1963.

All trim/chrome appears to be in decent shape.  There is the typical pitting that you would expect from a 50 year old car.  Bumpers are original and are painted. (Not re-chromed)

There is no heater box.

We have 2 tops for the car.  An original all steel hard top (Pictured) and the soft top.  The soft top has not been refurbished.  The frame appears to be in good condition.

The tires are 30 years old (Only 10 miles on them, however)  Grandpa bought tires in 1980.  I wouldn't put them on the highway if I were you.

The brakes are squishy.  I believe there is still a bit of air in the lines.

New exhaust with original manifold.

Some of the gauges don't work.

It has an original (almost perfect condition) wiring harness.  However, we have what appears to be a good voltage regulator but I have 2 extra. (I really have no idea what I'm doing with electric)

I strongly encourage you to call me before bidding to talk about the car.  (614-378-7508)


I am not shipping this car anywhere. If you want it, buy a ticket to Columbus Ohio.  I'll pick you up from the airport...we'll go look at the car.  If it's what you want, we'll do the deal.  I'll even drive you to a uhaul location to rent a trailer to start your journey home.

I will not accept paypal  or any other form of scam ridden payment options. Meet me in Columbus Ohio.  We can do a wire transfer or cash.  The winning bidder will be required to send me a $2000 earnest money deposit within 7 days. ( A check is fine for that)  


PLEASE CALL 614-378-7508 WITH ANY QUESTIONS!

Upcoming Alfa Romeo CUV called the Stelvio, Marchionne says

Thu, Feb 18 2016

Alfa Romeo will call its forthcoming crossover the Stelvio, and the Italian brand will finally put the often-postponed CUV on sale in Europe in early 2017, according to Auto Express citing FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne. We probably won't see it in showrooms here until at least spring or summer next year. The vehicle's name references the famously curvy pass through the Alps in Northern Italy, which evokes a model with sharp handling and rapid acceleration. The Stelvio uses a modified Giulia platform, and the two models should share powertrains. Standard versions would likely get a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, which makes 276 horsepower in the sedan. However, the common parts make a Quadrifoglio version of the CUV possible, packing the hottest Giulia's 505-hp 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, according to Auto Express. Alfa Romeo hasn't teased the Stelvio's design yet, but FCA designer Ralph Gilles posted a photo on Instagram that might have been a hint. The picture showed fellow designer of Lorenzo Ramaciotti in the back of an unnamed crossover. The dashboard, which you could see in that shot, had a distinct similarity to the Giulia. The shot didn't show much of the exterior, but you could barely make out the narrow taillights. Alfa Romeo has had serious problems launching vehicles on time recently, and the Giulia sedan and Stelvio should have been ready by now. The four-door was originally supposed to arrive in late 2015, but Marchionne said assembly would finally begin on March 14, according to Auto Express. The sedan has allegedly had problems passing internal crash tests, but Alfa officials vehemently denied this claim. The brand also delayed the CUV by several months from the original plans. The automaker now asserts that six more models are on the way by 2020, but the company doesn't seem capable of living up to those promises. Related Video:

Alfa Romeo Stelvio SUV to lead Italians' EV charge in 2026

Fri, Apr 7 2023

Stepping up its commitment toward electric mobility, Alfa Romeo’s chief executive CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato says that the second-generation Stelvio SUV will arrive with electric power in 2026 to replace the current model, and be followed a year later with a large EV sedan. As reported by BritainÂ’s Autocar, the Mk2 StelvioÂ’s design wonÂ’t change much, but the underpinnings will adopt the so-called STLA platform, which is part of Alfa ownerÂ’s StellantisÂ’ range announced a couple of years ago. For the 2024 model year, both the Guilia sedan and the Stelvio will continue with gas power before the switch to electric, and will receive one final refresh before then, said senior VP Larry Dominique. The Italians have also added what Dominique called “buzz models”: the Estrema and the Lusso and Competizione editions. On the subject of extended range for the EVs, Imparato mentioned that the Guilia successor would likely offer up to 435 miles on one charge. Given that the upcoming saloon and SUV will share a platform with the Giulia, they will most likely share its fundamental drivetrain offering too. Alfa has also suggested that the 500-plus horsepower Quadrofoglio will eventually evolve into an electric variant of the Guilia, pumping out a possible overachieving 1,000 horsepower. A new plug-in hybrid SUV called Tonale, a bit smaller than the Stelvio, is due shortly at dealers in the U.S. Related video:

Stellantis expects strike to cost it $795 million in third-quarter profits

Tue, Oct 31 2023

MILAN — Automaker Stellantis said Tuesday that the autoworkers strike in North America is expected to cost the company around 750 million euros ($795 million) in profits — less than its North American competitors. The Europe-based maker of Jeep, Fiat and Peugeot reported a 7% boost in net revenues to 45.1 billion euros, with production halts caused by the strikes costing the company 3 billion euros in sales through October. The net revenue boost was due to higher volumes in all markets except Asia. Chief Financial Officer Natalie Knight told journalists that StellantisÂ’ strike impact was lower than the other Big Three automakers due to its global profile as well as some high-profile cost-cutting measures, calculating the hit at around 750 million euros ($795 million.) GM, the last carmaker to reach a deal to end the strike, reported an $800 million strike hit. Ford has put its impact at $1.3 billion. “We continue to be in a very strong position globally and in the U.S. This is an important market for us, and weÂ’re highly profitable and we are very committed to our future," Knight said. “But mitigation is core to how we act, and how we proceed.” Stellantis has canceled appearances at the CES technology show in Las Vegas next year as well as the LA Auto Show, due to the strike impact. Stellantis on Saturday reached a tentative agreement with the United Auto Workers Union to end a six-week strike by more than 14,000 workers at its assembly plants in Michigan and Ohio, and at parts warehouses across the nation. Stellantis does not report full earnings for the third quarter, instead providing shipments and revenues. It said that global sales of electric vehicles rose by 37% over a year earlier, powered by the Jeep Avenger and commercial vehicle sales. North America continued to be the revenue leader, contributing 21.5 billion euros, an increase of 2% over last year, and representing nearly half of global revenues. Europe, the next biggest performing region, saw revenues grow 5% to 14 billion euros, as sales rose 11%. Related video: Earnings/Financials UAW/Unions Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep Maserati RAM
