You are viewing a very rare 1971 Giulia Super 1600. Model 10526. Very rare "Biscione" edition. Vin #: AR1887419.
I am reluctantly offering my "Super" up for sale. With 2 Giulia sedans in the stable and not using either one of them, it's time to find a new home for this very rare Alfa. I purchased it from an Alfisti that was living overseas. It was imported into the US from Belgium in 2005 and has seen very little use since then. It is fitted with the original 1600 engine with the factory dual solex carbs. 5 Speed transmission. This is the later style with "hanging pedals". The "Biscione" edition makes this Super quite rare in the States. Color: AR343 - Blu Olandese with Tan Interior Clear "Michigan" Title 50,000 Kilometers on odometer - actual mileage is unknown. I will be adding more pictures within the next few days. I have owned the Super for the past few years and have used it sporadically over that time period. With too many Alfa's and not enough time to drive them, it has been sitting in the garage along with my other Alfa's as well as another Giulia Super. I am in the midst of 2 Alfa restorations right now, and really need to free up some space. I really don't want to part with it, but realistically it will not be used or enjoyed the way it should be. With that said, I am hoping to find a good "Alfa" home for this very rare sedan. I would consider it "daily driver" type Alfa with plenty of patina, so you don't need to worry about using it. It's ultra reliable and always starts up. "Biscione" means "Snake" in Italian. The trim differences between a standard Super and the Biscione are as follows: 1. Recessed "Alfa Romeo" badge on the trunk. 2. Chrome center strip on hood. 3. "Biscione" badges on "C" Pillars 4. Chrome trim on rocker panels 5. First part of the headliner under visors are "black" 6. Chrome surroundings on interior light switch. This example is completely stock down to the original factory shift knob. Mechanically, the Alfa runs very nicely. Starts easily and is completely stock. As the pictures show, the engine compartment is very tidy and looks factory correct. There are no charging issues. No excess oil burning. Has plenty of power on the freeway and pulls nicely in each gear considering it's a 1600. Clutch and transmission work fine with no syncro issues that I can recall. As stated, this is a "hanging pedal" car with a hydraulic clutch. Much more modern and easy to use as compared to floor pedals in my opinion. U joints and driveshaft donut was fixed shortly after I purchased it. Exhaust is fine. Tires are all in good condition on original steel wheels & correct hubcaps. Known issues: at some point the ignition switch was bypassed due to a broken key, so now it just requires the pull of a switch (under the dash) and the push of a button to start it. I purchased a correct replacement switch, but frankly found it more convenient to use it the way it is. The replacement switch will be included in the sale. Transmission leaks oil. Some excess free play in the steering. Needs new toggle switch for the wipers. Has factory "Euro" headlights and also rear "fog" light. Brakes work fine as well as the electrics. Has new heater valve and fresh oil change. The interior is in very nice original condition as shown in the pictures. Considering it's over 40 years old, I would say it's almost mint except for the tear in the driver's seat. The dash is in great shape with a factory radio "block off " plate. Obviously features "Euro" gauges with speedometer in Kilometers per hour. Center console is very nice as well. Passenger seat and rear seat are in great condition. Door panels near perfect. All windows operate correctly as well as the interior door handles. Driver's seat fitted with Sheepskin seat cover due to rip in the seat. The body has an older repaint in it's original AR 343 Blu Olandese at some point while it was still over in Europe. It has held up pretty good and has the normal "wear" one would expect from a vintage unrestored Alfa. It has some nice patina and presents itself nicely as a "driver". As shown in the pictures, the passenger side shows some evidence of previous body work. There are some misc. spots where the paint has flaked off including under the front bumper. It does have some of the typical rust that Supers are noted for. These spots are limited to the following areas: both rear wheel arches, passenger side rear quarter panel (worst spot) and the lip of the hood. Floors and rockers are solid as well as the area under the radiator support. Trunk lid in nice condition with no rust issues. Both front and rear bumpers are in nice condition. In summary, this is essentially an all original unrestored Giulia Super. Far from perfect, but could be a great daily driver for the Alfisti that is looking for something a little bit different. Ultra reliable, I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. These sedans are a blast to drive, and will always get a "thumbs up" from fellow car enthusiasts! For those that have been priced out of the market and cannot afford to pay the high teens for a "Super", this may be the perfect alternative. The Alfa is being sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied. I cannot be held responsible for any errors or inaccuracies that may have been inadvertently been provided. Please have your finds in order prior to bidding. Shipping is up to the buyer to arrange. As stated, the Super represents a wonderful opportunity for the Alfa enthusiast that is looking for a solid example at an affordable price. Comes with a clear Michigan title. Will need some general work/maintenance as noted in the description. The buyer should expect other normal wear and tear items to be addressed as would be expected of a 40 year old vintage sports sedan. Sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied. I have done my best to describe the Alfa to the best of my ability, however there may be some things that I may have missed. It is up to the buyer to do due diligence when making a purchase online. Do not make any assumptions about anything. Ask any questions that may not have been addressed. I am not responsible for any errors or erroneous misinformation. I will be adding more pictures within the next few days. For the motivated buyer, I will consider ending the auction early for a serious offer, however I do not have a buy it now price set. The fine print: If you have 5 or less feedback transactions, you must contact me prior to bidding. A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 is due within 24 hours of the auction end. If the deposit is not received, the Alfa will be offered to the next highest bidder. The balance is due within 7 days of the auction end date. The car must be picked up within 10 days of the auction end date. A $10.00 per day storage fee will be charged after the 10 days unless prior arrangements have been made. I have sold several vintage cars to overseas buyers with the buyers being extremely pleased with the sale. "License Plates" not included. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. On Apr-12-14 at 21:09:14 PDT, seller added the following information: I just took the Super out of storage this weekend to take some additional photos which have been added to listing. These photos highlight some of the noted rust areas on the quarter panel and lip on the hood. Additionally, I found 2 small bubbles near the gutter trim and a few other misc.rust spots which I had not noted since it's been primarily covered and stored. I also forgot to mention that there is a stone chip in the windshield on the driver's side. Lastly, I will be adding more pictures that shows the undercarriage. On Apr-14-14 at 15:34:25 PDT, seller added the following information: I had a chance to take the Super around the block yesterday. It fired up nicely and ran smoothly. When pulling up to my driveway I could hear a clunk in the right front which sounds like a lower ball joint or possibly sway bar bushing.

Alfa Romeo Giulia runs the Nurburgring
Sat, Aug 22 2015Usually when spying a pre-production car, the goal is to figure out what it looks like underneath the camouflage. However, that's not a concern with his video of a heavily concealed Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio because the design was already fully revealed. Instead, this is an opportunity to listen to the upcoming sports sedan lapping the Nurburgring. For a vehicle with just 2.5 years of development by only 11 people, the Giulia certainly makes all the right noises. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine has a growling note as the sedan speeds away, and there's no audible turbo whistle – at least in this clip. The sound is angry but still somewhat subdued for a mill making 510 horsepower. The test driver here is really pushing things, and the tires are squealing through practically every corner. The Alfa's rear end even steps out a little a few times. The Giulia is slated to arrive in the US in the first half of 2016. In the meantime, we look forward to seeing the sedan again at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, where some additional powertrains are rumored to debut. Related Video:
Next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata mule spied 'Ring testing
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Fans of simple, lightweight motoring, rejoice - we now have images of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata undergoing testing at der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, to be fair, this isn't some lightly camouflaged example that will give us a great peak of what the next Miata, which will also become the next Alfa Romeo Spider, will look like. This is a mule, with the new bits hidden under a current Miata's body. That doesn't mean there aren't a few scraps of valuable information here, though.
According to our flock of camera-toting spies at the Nürburgring, the next Miata is likely to grow a bit, as new models are wont to do. In particular, it will be longer and wider, and the wheelbase is likely going to be stretched, based on the shape of the wheel wells and doors. Both of those factors will add more space in the cabin.
Those are the big indications provided by these photos, but while the MX-5 might be growing, it's a safe bet based on these images that it, and the (likely pricier) Alfa, will retain the classic, long-hood, short-deck styling that so typifies rear-drive roadsters.
Alfa Romeo wants your vote on designs for a 4C 'Designer's Cut' anniversary model
Fri, Jul 21 2023In 2018, the heritage division at Fiat Chrysler America launched a project called "Reloaded by Creators." It started with FCA Heritage restoring and selling a number of precious and vintage Italian models like the Alfa Spider IV and Lancia Fulvia brought back to new condition by the in-house brands. When Stellantis took over FCA, Stellantis' Heritage Department took over the initiative and expanded the project with one-offs like the Abarth Classiche 1000 SP tribute built on the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. The classics heads are at it again with this, the 4C Designer's Cut project. Planned as a 10th anniversary celebration of the Alfa Romeo 4C coupe, the Designer's Cut will create a one-off tribute to some aspect of Alfa Romeo history that will also "pay tribute to authentic Italian style and driving pleasure embodied by the original 4C." Alessandro Maccolini, who designed the 4C and remains part of the Alfa Romeo Style Center as a design manager, is heading the effort. He's come up with three aesthetic proposals so far. The first is the 4C Tributo, a crimson red take that takes straight aim at one of the peaks in the vintage Alfa Romeo catalog, the Tipo 33 Stradale. The second is the 4C Corsa, a race-inspired version in matte gray "to accentuate the muscular shape and performance-oriented technical features," on black wheels.  Finally, the 4C Leggenda. Done up in light blue over white wheels, the sporty inspiration is the 1750 GT Veloce, the historic inspiration is colors that echo hues in Milan's crest of Biscione, a feature in Alfa Romeo’s logo. The automaker wants feedback from enthusiasts about which one to choose and which direction to take. It's not clear yet if Alfa Romeo plans changes to the powertrain. The Abarth Classiche 1000 SP tribute didn't alter the mechanicals, sticking with the 4C's 1,742-cc turbocharged four-cylinder making 240 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It is clear that Alfa plans to sell this one-off, highlighting its desirability to "passionate collectors." The curious are encouraged to e-mail Stellantis Heritage now. The Abarth 1000 SP is still available to purchase, as are a 1958 Abarth 500 tribute that's based on a 1970 Fiat 500. Have your money ready.
