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!

The cars of notorious dictators
Tue, Apr 21 2015It's good to be the king, at least until your people have had enough of you. Last week, we brought you famous presidential cars. This week, we're going to the opposite end of the political spectrum, looking at what history's mad men drove throughout their repressive and violent regimes. These dictators were absolutely powerful, and absolutely corrupt. More nightmares for their people than rulers, their iron-fisted control gave them the ability to satisfy any wild desire with nearly limitless funds. While they all splurged on luxury goods, cars were a particular passion of many dictators. Cars make a powerful statement to the public about wealth, status and control. It's how you are presented at ground level to your adoring masses or mortal enemies. A custom luxury car with plenty of armor plating reinforced the specialness and "otherness" of the ruler to friend and foe alike. Muammar Gaddafi, Libya, 1969 - 2011 Lybia's President for Life Muammar Gaddafi fancied himself not just a car enthusiast, but a car designer for the masses as well. He supposedly designed a car called the "Saroukh el-Jamahiriya" or Libyan Rocket. It had a 230-horsepower V6 and the nose and tail of a rocket. He was trying to produce a safer car. What makes it safe car? Tough to say. Not a lot was ever released it. Apparently the el-Jamahiriya did come with airbags and collapsible fenders in case of a collision. A spokesperson said "The invention of the safest car in the world is proof that the Libyan revolution is built on the happiness of man." We'll just have to take his word for it. When he wasn't designing his own cars, Gaddafi was ordering up custom rides, large and small. Besides a heavily armored BMW 7 Series and a Mercedes S-Class stretch limo, Gaddafi had this custom Fiat built at a cost of $260,000. The gold in the trim is real gold (of course) and comes with some touches that are pure Gaddafi. For instance, the Fiat badge was replaced with an outline of the continent of Africa, with Libya cut out in green. Rebels seized the Fiat and Gaddafi's other trappings of power after putting an end to Gaddafi's 42 years in control. Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, Haiti, 1971 - 1986 Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier was the second-generation dictator of Hati from 1971 to 1986. He made life hell for his people for 15 long years, starting when his father died when he was just 19 years old. Imagine if Justin Beiber was given a tiny island nation to run.
Dodge Charger to slim down and run turbo four in next generation
Tue, May 31 2016The current Dodge Charger is getting long in the tooth. It was originally introduced in 2005 as a 2006 model. In car terms, that's an eternity, though it's been refreshed twice. Still, FCA US will keep the LX-generation car going, reportedly facelifting it one last time for 2019. After that, there are some bigger changes in store . Automotive News is reporting that the follower to the current LX Charger will lose almost 500 pounds and will once again offer a turbo four-cylinder. You might remember the front-wheel-drive four-banger Charger of the early '80s. The recharged sedan will be twin-turbo and it's going to use the 300-horsepower four-cylinder engine currently under development for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, AN says. The target weight for the future car is around 3,500 lbs, while the current car has a curb weight of nearly 4,000 lbs. Look for it to arrive in the early 2020s. The new platform will have a touch of Italian flair instead of the Daimler-Benz flavor embedded deep inside the LX cars. It will be built on an extended version of the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia's "Giorgio" platform, according to AN. Dealers were already shown a styling-buck almost a year ago.

Alfa Romeo 4C Spider lives to see 2020 and gets an Italia special edition
Thu, Feb 7 2019Alfa Romeo is launching a limited run of special-edition 4C Spider sports cars for the U.S. Called the 4C Spider Italia, only 15 of these cars will be built. Before you get up in arms about how exclusive and impossible to find this will be, consider Alfa 4C sales numbers. All of seven were sold in January, and 2018 saw 238 cars find owners. So, perhaps the limited numbers aren't that limiting. The 4C Spider Italia is essentially a $5,000 appearance package. It takes the standard 4C Spider (the coupe was discontinued in the U.S. last year) and then covers it in an exclusive blue paint called Misano Blue Metallic. Then, the front air intake and rear diffuser are finished in piano black. You also get a "4C Spider Italia" sticker for the side of the car that looks properly Italian. On the inside, there's an aluminum dashboard insert designating this car as the special edition model, and the center console has a plate with the exact number it is in the 15-car run. And that's it. Our brains most recently associate the "Italia" designation with Ferrari, but this package does nothing to bring it closer to the incredible 458's performance. You'll get the same 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque from the little turbocharged four-banger. Perhaps the best news out of this special edition car is that it's a 2020 model year. Alfa announced this car and confirmed the 4C Spider will continue at least through 2020. Even with the only option being a dual-clutch automatic transmission, the 4C is one of the most barebones, pure driving experiences you can get in a new car today. Its continued existence is only a good thing for us sports car enthusiasts. With the $5,000 tacked on to the base price, a 4C Spider Italia will run you $73,495, including destination charges. Alfa says orders for the special edition car will open up in the second quarter of 2019. Related video:
