Previous owner (I'm the third), a keeper of several Alfas, owned this since 1998 and maintained it extremely well. Lead Mechanic Paul at Alfa specialists DiFatta Brothers in Baltimore says that the motor looks so clean that you'd think it had been replaced. This is a seriously nice Q. The car has absolutely no rust; it had been a southern MO car and I don't drive it on wet roads. Within the last 16K miles, the PO had the valve guides, engine wiring harness, and clutch assy replaced, and the flywheel resurfaced . Since I bought the car 9K miles ago, I replaced the suspension incl new Koni yellows (done by DiFatta), upgraded the radiator with DiFatta's custom all-metal oversized radiator, replaced the tired/partially-shrunk inst cluster hood with a new-old-stock hood, replaced the stock headlights with the Bosch and the stock airbag with the Euro style. PO installed gorgeous-sounding ANSA exhaust. Unplanned maintenance consisted of the replacement of the crank trigger sensor and the air flow meter. Receipts available. This car runs beautifully and needs absolutely no mechanical work. The engine will outlast me, no doubt. T-belt was done at 88K miles in Nov 2009. I planned on having it done next year. Seats are in excellent condition. Not perfect of course, but great for 19 years old. What does not work or is not perfect: The sunroof has the common issue that only allows it to go about 1/2 the way back (more than that it will bind). It pops up and down fine. The LCD doesn't work. The airbag is disabled (apparently); I removed the dash light. Could use new door speakers, though at volumes which allow you to still hear the engine, they're fine to my non-audiophile ears. I'll leave the speaker replacement to the buyer as he or she would know what they want. Seat heaters don't work. Easy enough to fix if you care (you would replace them).Cosmetic defects: small vertical crease near front of driver's door (see final pic – Zenders not included unfortunately). A few minor paint chips that were touched up previously (Ford Cardinal Red is a perfect match for the car's red; if I were keeping the car, I'd eventually take care of those myself). Stock wheels have some brake dust corrosion but not too bad. I'll add close-ups of those. I can give permission for those seriously interested to talk to Paul at DiFatta about the car. He will certainly confirm that this is a seriously nice car in all the important ways. There aren't a lot of Qs and this is one of the very nice ones. The 24V engine is easily the sweetest engine I've ever experienced. Amazing on the freeway; the best all-around car I've ever owned (and I've owned nearly thirty cars; with a minivan now in the family I no longer need an all-around car so am jumping into GTV6s). I had a V8 SHO at one time. On paper it has the same numbers as the Q but the tactile feel of each is worlds apart. I really enjoyed the SHO but the Q is on a totally different level. From what I'm told, a Q will also quickly leave a 12V 164 far behind on the highway. Please contact me only if you are seriously interested in this car; I appreciate casual interest but that is why we have the internet as a research tool. Also, absolutely no offers to help me sell the car, please. I am also advertising this car on a classic car site; I reserve the right to end this auction early if the car sells first through the other site. |

Fiat Chrysler taps Amazon, Shell execs to fill roles
Fri, Dec 7 2018MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is tapping executives from Amazon and Shell Oil Company with previous automotive industry experience to fill its ranks. CEO Mike Manley said in a letter to employees Thursday that Mark Stewart would join FCA as chief operating officer of North America from Amazon, "a company known for its culture of innovation, and obsession with delivering incredible value to customers." At Amazon, Stewart led teams focused on advanced robotics, artificial intelligence and automation methods. He previously was COO of ZF TRW automotive components supplier. Niel Golightly was named head of global communications. He was most recently Shell's vice president for external relations in North and South America, with a focus on reputation, brand and stakeholder engagement beyond communication strategies. He previously held roles at Ford Motor Company. Related Video: Image Credit: REUTERS/Rebecca Cook Hirings/Firings/Layoffs Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM FCA Amazon shell Mike Manley
6 luxury car brands to watch in 2024
Tue, Jan 30 20242023 was a healthy year for the auto industry, and even with incentives returning and dealer lots filling up, there's plenty to like about the market if you build luxury automobiles, and we expect 2024 to be more of the same, which makes luxury-segment rivalries all the more interesting. Top luxury car brand rivalries? Well, that sounds downright uncivilized. But we know better, don't we? And when every quarterly sales update is an opportunity to remind somebody else that they bought the wrong status symbol, well, who can resist? Certainly not the diehard customers who fly their favorite brands' banners high. Read more: Auto sales: Industry records best year since 2019 Read more: 2023 auto sales and 2024 preview: Ford Bronco vs. Jeep Wrangler This is a tricky segment to define, but essentially, we're looking at luxury car brands with depth to their portfolios and dealerships that exist to attract real-world customers. The Bentleys, Rolls-Royces and McLarens of the world are luxury cars, certainly, but we're more concerned with brands that have a bit more mass appeal — manufacturers who treat supply constraints as fiascos rather than features. If you disagree with our selections, feel free to let us know in the comments. And since we're mostly concerned with finishing order, the luxury brands and totals featured here may change as new data come in throughout 2024. Due to the wild swings of the past several years, we're treating 2023 as the baseline by which we'll measure sales performance. And rather than rank brands vs. their finishing order in 2022, when supply-chain and inflationary issues still played havoc with sales figures, we're starting 2024 off with a clean slate. The mainstream luxury segment is always a dogfight, but with their varied approaches to electrification all of the major luxury brands are in the midst of reshaping the premium landscape. Who is doing it right? Well, according to U.S. shoppers, the usual suspects are up to their old tricks.
