1992 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Convertible 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
|
This 1992 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce is an ideal project or parts car and is sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS. Was my father-in-law's, a big Alfa fan. Unfortunately he had a serious medical condition that VERY rapidly deteriorated his Alzheimer's and he died. After the estate stuff had been settled we wound up with this car and another Alfa (a 1994 164 LS for parts/project that we sold last month). This car "ran when parked" and the reason it was parked was because some electrical issue popped up (the fusebox is exactly the way my FiL left it as he was working on it). The car only has 38 thousand miles, is black/black and has a removable hardtop, also black. My FiL took forever to find it. As of the last time I looked, the Spider has zero rust. The interior is in good shape with no rips or tears and only 2-3 spots (the size of pencil erasers) where the suede on the driver's seat is worn. The car also has some aftermarket parts installed (any originals we have are also included) such as 16" Serpent Autosport Type 2 wheels and Pirelli P-Zero tires (we have the originals, too) , International Auto Parts performance springs (and I think also shocks, but I'd have to double check that) and an International Auto Parts chassis stiffener. It also has a "chip" from Squadra in Europe and the original is still in the glove compartment.
The top bow of the convertible top needs to be replaced, and the hardtop needs rear mounting hardware. One of the "vent" windows (I forget which) needs to have its lever re-glued. The owner before my FiL -- instead of washing it -- used "cleaner wax" so the paint will need a good polishing, and there are a couple of shallow parking dents on the nose that SHOULD pop out with one of those suction things the paintless dent removal guys use. It comes with the original cassette player. It came with most of the maintenance records. There are also fabric seat covers that were never installed and 2-3 Alfa books and a bunch of parts I can't recognize in orange and black Alfa Romeo boxes. There is also an extra "European" steering wheel and shift knob an a read badge that says "Twin Spark" (he was going to do that conversion but died before he could) and an extra turn signal cluster. And anything else we can find. When my husband connected it to a car charger, the dashboard lit up. But it won't start (it won't make a sound, etc.) and I don't know if the issue is minor (and therefore a cheap fix) or not. Our combined mechanical skills are fueling cars and taking them to the shop. (The shop that used to service these closed several years ago...) There is no warranty, expressed or implied or even incidentally hinted at. Therefore I'm starting this listing for only one cent and NO RESERVE. A $500 deposit will be due via PayPal within 48 hours of the auction's end, and the rest within 3 business days. Title is clear. The car will need to be trailered to wherever you are. We can help when the transporter gets here, but transport costs and arrangements are exclusively the winning bidder's responsibility. I'll try to answer any questions as best as I can but I'm not very familiar with these cars and not mechanically inclined, but I'll try my best. I figure the parts alone would be a terrific bargain and if you can figure out the electrical issue you may have a steal. Thanks!

Alfa Romeo Stelvio goes on sale this summer for $42,990
Wed, May 10 2017The wait is nearly over for the most practical Alfa Romeo yet. The mainstream versions of the new Stelvio crossover SUV go on sale this summer, with pricing and availability for the 505-horsepower Quadrifoglio coming later. The entry-level Stelvio will start at $42,990, and the higher-trim Ti will go for $44,990. This pricing, which includes destination charges, is nearly identical to key competitors in the small luxury crossover segment. The Jaguar F-Pace starts at just $70 more with a base price of $43,060. The BMW X3 starts a bit lower than both at $41,045. Each of those entry-level crossovers makes less power than the Stelvio, though. The Jaguar makes 247 horsepower, and the BMW makes 240. The Stelvio's turbo four-cylinder makes 280 horsepower and 306 pound-feet of torque. And unlike the BMW, the Alfa comes with standard all-wheel drive. Along with the standard eight-speed automatic, the Stelvio is capable of getting to 60 mph in an estimated 5.4 seconds on the way to a 144 mph top speed. Aside from the potent four-cylinder, Stelvios come standard with leather seats, keyless entry and starting, rearview camera, 7-inch infotainment display, and 18-inch wheels. Spending the extra $2,000 for the Ti trim level will add 19-inch wheels, real wood trim, an 8.8-inch infotainment screen, and heated seats and steering wheel. Sport packages are available on both the base model and Ti. Each package includes sportier suspension, a different steering wheel, black window trim and roof rails, and aluminum pedals and paddle shifters. On the base Stelvio, the package only costs $1,800 and also adds 19-inch wheels. On the Ti, the package costs $2,500, but includes 20-inch wheels and 12-way power sport seats. The Ti also offers a Lusso package for $2,500 that comes with 19-inch wheels, 12-way power seats with nicer leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped dashboard, and a "luxury" steering wheel.

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans
Fri, 18 Jan 2013As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:
Fiat Chrysler's next-generation Uconnect is faster, built on Android
Mon, Jan 27 2020If you're a regular reader of Autoblog, you know that for a long time we've liked Fiat Chrysler's Uconnect infotainment system for its bright, clear, responsive touchscreen interface. Now, according to the company, it will be better than ever with Uconnect 5, the latest iteration of the system. It has upgraded hardware and a revamped graphic user interface (the stuff on the screen). Looking at sample screens shown above, there are characteristics shared with the old system, such as the time, status and shortcuts at the top and the menu icons at the bottom. In the middle, the major change is the addition of home screens that can be customized with favorite menus and readouts that are always available. Each of these home screens can have up to four functions and you can have five pages to flip through. The graphics themselves feature more legible fonts and updated icons. Each car brand will get its own set of icons, colors and textures to help create unique experiences. And while each Fiat Chrysler product will be able to have Uconnect, including Alfa Romeo that has until now lacked Uconnect, each brand has the ability to make small tweaks including the screen orientation. The system will support displays in landscape, portrait or square, so different brands may choose different shapes. Powering Uconnect 5 is a processor Fiat Chrysler says is six times more powerful than what's in current systems. It features 6 gigabytes of RAM and 64 gigabytes of internal storage. The processor also supports screens as large as 12.3 inches with as many as 15 million pixels, or nearly twice that of a 4K resolution TV. The system can display information on up to four screens, too. Uconnect 5's firmware is built on Google's Android operating system, joining a few other automakers in using Android as a base for their infotainment systems. Uconnect 5 brings with it a number of new features. It brings full Alexa integration, so you can use it just like you do at home, provided you have a data plan for the car. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto continue to be standard, but now they can be used wirelessly. You can also now connect two phones via Bluetooth wirelessly so you can access content from both. Navigation gets real time information and updates from TomTom. Users can create five profiles with unique climate, radio and instrument settings, plus one for a valet.
