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!

Dodge PHEV due in 2022 expected to be the Hornet

Wed, Aug 11 2021

A relatively new saga involving hornets in the Pacific Northwest begins with the adjective "murder" and gets worse from there. A relatively dated saga involving hornets in the automotive industry begins with the name "Dodge" and is — or could be — much friendlier to plant and animal life. Last year, former Dodge parent company Fiat Chrysler trademarked the term "Dodge Hornet" for the first time. Two months ago, an Italian publication credited its sources with news that current parent company Stellantis will create a Dodge version of the Alfa Romeo Tonale (pictured) and call it the Hornet. Now, Mopar Insiders picked up on Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares sharing a roadmap of the 20 PHEV and battery-electric vehicles coming our way in the next two years between the company's 14 brands. Dodge merits a single PHEV entry in the 2022 column. MI says this will be the Hornet.      As FCA recast its U.S. lineups to give Dodge more focus and give Chrysler a reason to exist, Dodge lost the Caliber, Nitro, and Journey. The way this new report is put, and as we mused a year ago, the coming Hornet will replace the Journey — a space Dodge could do well to return to. Never given much love by the parent company, the Journey turned into a hoary old thing over its 13 years on the market, but sold in remarkable numbers to the end. According to Car Sales Base, sales increased nearly every year for the first nine years of the Journey's life. Even during the sales decline over the last four years of its production life, the Journey found 298,594 homes in the U.S. More than 12,000 zombie units have been moved off lots this year. A Dodge Hornet likely wouldn't offer the Wal-Mart rollback pricing the Journey was known for. Also, the Hornet would pack in just two rows, whereas the Journey offered three. Nevertheless, we're now talking about three vehicles sharing major internal organs; the Alfa Romeo Tonale leans heavily on the Jeep Compass platform and internals, and the Dodge is expected to be built at the same Naples, Italy plant as the Alfa Romeo. The economies of scale are there. As for powertrain, we know there's a Tonale PHEV coming, but it's thought to get its plug-in system from the Jeep Renegade 4xe that's based around the smaller 1.3-liter four-cylinder with either 190 or 240 total horsepower instead of the larger 2.0-liter engine in the Wrangler 4xe.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio caught testing under the cloak of darkness

Tue, Oct 11 2016

With Americans still going crazy over compact SUVs and crossovers, the upcoming Alfa Romeo Stelvio is the Italian automaker's latest attempt at regaining its status as a household name in the US. Photographers managed to capture a prototype testing at night with very little camouflage to hide the SUV's overall design. These photos are the clearest ones we've seen of the upcoming SUV. The prototype's front end is extremely similar to the Giulia's with two oval-shaped outlets on the side of the fascia with a v-shaped grille in the center. The headlights, which are surrounded by black tape, also mimic the units found on the Giulia. The ruffles in the camouflage on the hood suggest that the Stelvio gets a pair of vents. The profile of the crossover is much more round than previous prototypes depicted with the overall shape mimicking the Jaguar F-Pace, but much smaller in size. The taillights, surprise, surprise, also resemble the same ones found on the Giulia. There's no way to know what type of engine is powering the Stelvio prototype, but the two tailpipes and skinny tires point toward something much more subdued than the twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 that puts out 505 horsepower in the Giulia Quadrifoglio. We expect the production version of the crossover to get the same gasoline and diesel options as the Giulia, depending on where the vehicle is sold. The Stelvio – and this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone – looks like a larger, taller Giulia. While the prototype looks ghastly with its camouflage, we expect, and hope, that the SUV will look a lot better at its debut, which could take place at next month's Los Angeles Motor Show.

Touring dresses its Alfa Disco Volante in green and gold for Geneva [w/poll]

Sun, Mar 2 2014

If you watched the latest episode of Top Gear, you'll have seen Jeremy Clarkson driving a red version of Touring's Disco Volante around Italy, then showing off a silver-finished one in the studio back in the UK. But when the doors open at the Palexo for the 2014 Geneva Motor Show this week, Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera will have another version to show off. Pictured here, this version of the Disco Volante has been done up in dark green with gold accents for a treatment that looks decidedly less Italian and more British – something Colin Chapman (not to mention Green Bay football fans) would appreciate. We're not sure it's our favorite treatment of one of the most stylish cars money can buy (particularly with the rosso corsa grille and tailpipe inserts), but then we're not the one buying it. This example was likely produced for a specific customer. The Disco Volante, for those unacquainted, is essentially an Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione – already a looker in our books – that's been rebodied by reborn Milanese coachbuilder Touring. The carrozzeria was established back in 1926, went under in 1966 and was reborn in 2006, adopting the Superleggera moniker that its forebear coined when pioneering lightweight monocoque construction techniques. Since its revival it has worked its magic on Maseratis, Bentleys, Gumperts and more. The Disco Volante is made to order at what you can bet is a not unsubstantial price.
