Up for sale, is a beautiful example of a classic Italian Sports Car, the Alfa Romeo Spider. Pininfarina Body. Awesome shade of Red, really the only color for a car like this. This 1987 classic is in excellent condition, starts and runs like a charm. It's 2.0L still pulls hard and is great on gas. It can be placed on classic car insurance which will only cost you a few hundred per YEAR including collision! It is exempt from emissions testing. This convertible is really one of the best you can find of this particular vehicle. No cracks in the dash. Treated with Krown rust control yearly. There is absolutely no rust or rot anywhere on this car, quite a rare example. It has been taken care of all it's life. Looks as if it has been restored when you first glance at this car! Never driven anywhere near winter months, and is kept in an enclosed garage. Only 92,014 original KMs! (57,175 miles!) I've personally owned this car for 11 years. The previous gentlemen, a friend of my fathers, for more than 12 years. Hate to let it go, but it's not receiving the attention it needs in my growing fleet of cars. This year alone I've only put approx. 600kms on it and it was the same last year. I want someone else to enjoy it. I'm not in desperate need to sell, this is not your numerous problem everyday project $5,000 Spider. This car is worth more than others especially with it's current condition, mileage and all the work that's been done. Look elsewhere if you're looking for a neat looking 'beater', this isn't it. This car is really worth it. Amazing the amount of head turns you'll get. Fun to drive! Could even be a daily driver. This is the next up and coming european classic car.

 

 

There has been numerous maintenance and upgrades done to this car since I've purchased it. I have dated records of all the work I've done. Noticeable ones are as follows.

 

BWA modern fiver star wheels were added. Yokohama AVS ES100 tires have been installed. The stock original wheels with tires mounted are also still available if wanted. An example of their style is featured in one of the last posted photo. That is not an actual photo of them, they are in storage (too lazy). A new Pioneer CD MP3 player deck was installed including front Pioneer speakers and rear Kenwoods. An aftermarket alarm system that I did not install was removed. Never mess with a classic in that way, especially a Brit or Italian's wiring. New Cat Converter and Mufflers replaced. New Oxygen Sensor. New Speedometer Sender. New Rear Driver Side Suspension Bushing. Repaired pesky wiring issues. Seats professionally reupholstered with durable black leather. New Battery. New Slave Cylinder. New Ignition Coil. New Hand Rolled Sun-Fast Black on Black padded quarters Convertible Top. New Water Pump. Repaired Vacuum leak, Replace Cap/Rotor, 2 new fuel lines, 2 new fuel pumps, New SPI Aux Valve. New Clutch Master Cylinder. New Altitude Sensor. Radiator Repaired by weld and painted new tube. New plugs and plug wires. New Fuses.

 

 

The only real issue with this car I can think of are as follow. Mind you this car is nearly 3 decades old. The windshield passenger side towards the bottom has a little fogging approx an inch wide which you should be able to see in the pictures. It is an original windshield. The upholstering in the trunk looks new but the connections are starting to wear, not a real issue but something to mention. Slight abrasion on shifter leather boot, and a little piece of the carpet near the passenger side could be glued down firmer near the upper part of the door as seen in picture. I might even due that prior to sale actually. Any tiny paint chips over the years have been filled in immediately with touch up paint. The speedometer is malfunctioning and inaccurate.

On a side note, the side photo featuring the Pininfarina badge there are black marks towards the bottom of the car. Apparently there was some dirt/oil of some sort that I missed at time of photography. Those are not dings or scratches. Also, some reason wouldn't upload the pic of the engine bay. Nothing particular to see, just figured some people like seeing the casting of Alfa Romeo on the engine. Looks like a normal Alfa Romeo Spider, nothing mutilated.

 

 

Please feel free to ask any questions, I'd be more than happy to help. I am not responsible for shipping costs but will help with arrangements if needed. Located in Toronto, Canada. $250 non refundable deposit within 72 hours. Payment in full within 14 days.

Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan debuts with 510 hp, killer curves [w/video]

Wed, Jun 24 2015

After a very blurry, accidental photo debut just yesterday, Alfa Romeo let loose the first official images and information about the upcoming Giulia. And she's a looker. We've got a man on the ground in Milan for the reveal who'll be bringing us more about the Giulia later on, but in the meantime let's take a look at the facts. Alfa's rakish new sedan certainly offers enough performance to justify the fast-standing-still styling. The Giulia seen here is the top-of-the-line Quadrifoglio edition, which has a turbocharged V6 that produces 510 horsepower (likely a metric figure, so it might be rated 503 here) and is good for a trip to 62 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds. The car will also come in lower-power specs, likely using variations of a turbocharged four-cylinder. That quick acceleration is at least partially down to a very impressive curb weight. Alfa hasn't given us an official figure, per se, but does mention that the Giulia has a weight-to-power ratio "lower than 3kg/hp." Doing the math, that would put the sedan under 3,400 pounds, which is impressive. For reference, a BMW M3 sedan makes 425 hp and weighs in at around 3,600 pounds, while a 464-hp Cadillac ATS-V weighs about 100 pounds more. We know from Alfa's US-spec 4C that the sedan might gain a bit of heft in its cross-Atlantic translation, but if it's even in that ballpark, we'll be excited. Handling should be excellent, too, at least as far as we can tell from the case made on paper. The company boasts a 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, with a multi-link rear suspension and double wishbones up front. We're also promised "rapid, accurate steering" which, again, is borne out by the 4C. The Giulia Quadrifoglio features a torque-vectoring rear differential, an active front splitter to improve aerodynamics at high speeds, and a computer system called Chassis Domain Control to keep the various subsystems balanced. Touted as a competitor to the BMW 3 Series (an M3 competitor in this spec), the Giulia will be available as a rear-wheel-drive vehicle as standard, of course. But an optional all-wheel-drive setup is also in the cards. You'll have to decide for yourself if the flowing, long-hood-short-deck styling works, but we think it's excellent (at least based on the first few images). Find a bit more detail about the upcoming Giulia in the press release below, and expect more from Milan shortly.

Marchionne: FCA, but not Ferrari, interested in Formula E

Sat, Aug 5 2017

It seems like automakers have been clamoring to get on board with Formula E lately. In just the last few weeks a number of manufacturers have either become more directly involved, or otherwise announced entry into the series in coming years. That includes Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, with the latter two abandoning other series to join the electric one. Now, FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne says his company might join Formula E as well, according to Motorsport. Previously, Marchionne had toyed with the idea of bringing Ferrari into the Formula E field, but now says that would be unlikely. Instead, he thinks an FCA brand would be a better fit, perhaps Alfa Romeo or Maserati. At the moment, Maserati seems like the best fit, as Marchionne just announced that the brand would electrify its entire lineup after 2019, with each car it sells having either a hybrid or electric powertrain. Fans would probably be excited to see Maserati return to racing, and Formula E would be a good test laboratory for the development of electric propulsion technology. Still, another brand could represent FCA in Formula E, and apply the knowledge learned there to its vehicles, as Marchionne says half of the FCA fleet will be electrified by the end of the company's five-year plan ending in 2022. Marchionne said that while Ferrari won't be directly involved, he doesn't know which FCA brand – Alfa Romeo, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat, or Maserati – would enter. As interesting as an electric Dodge race car would be, it seems unlikely, especially because of, well, Maserati. We're hoping it's Jeep, though.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio is new SUV king of the 'Ring

Fri, Sep 29 2017

It's been a couple years since the last Nurburgring SUV lap record was set by the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, a quick time of 7 minutes and 59 seconds making it the first SUV to pull off a sub-8 minute time. The Cayenne's glory days are over, though, as the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio just obliterated that time. Alfa's wild SUV with its Ferrari-based 510-horsepower twin-turbo V6 managed to whip around the north loop of the 'Ring in just 7 minutes and 51 seconds. Not only does that make it 8 seconds quicker than the Cayenne, it's an insane 23 seconds faster than the Land Rover Range Rover SVR, the record holder before Porsche. The Stelvio also was working with a notable power disadvantage compared with the Cayenne and the Range Rover. The Porsche packed 565 horsepower, and the Land Rover had 542 horsepower. View 9 Photos Alfa Romeo also got the whole lap on film, which you can view up above. The video also shows that the Stelvio had an aftermarket roll cage fitted for an extra layer of safety. Alfa didn't say anything about how that might affect performance or what may have been done to offset it. But as we always point out with these records, they shouldn't be taken too seriously, especially for the SUV segment, in which we can virtually guarantee no one will be attempting to replicate this lap time with their personal Stelvios.
