more than 10 years old restoration. Normale car with Veloce set up ( dual weber carburetors and veloce header). 5 speed conversion using GTV gearbox. Engine has blank serial number. It has been known that these blanks are dealer replaced engines. It is the correct 750 series engine 1300cc for this model year. It still has the original alfa Radio that is still working. It is an older restoration so I would not call it a show car, although i show it regularly at cars and coffee in irvine. It is safe to called it a more than excellent weekend driver. I have owned the car for 1 year. The previous owner owns a ferrari restoration shop and restored this car in his shop. I have a folder full of service receipts from previous owner, and also many services receipts under my ownership. ODO shows 59k miles but i am not sure if original.
Paint in exellent condition, no nick, scratch, chip anywhere on the exterior. The luster is still like new paint. Paint on door jams are just average, but in good condition, it is not in show condition like the exterior. Paint on dash board looks like original red factory paint, but i am not sure. Paint in engine bay is in excellent condition, but not in show condition, along the jams of the engine bay where the hood is resting on, the paint is not as shiny, but in average fair condition. The underside of the hood lid is original alfa red crinkled paint. No rust any where. The underside looks very clean, The paint from the restoration still clean underside the body with no dirt or rust build up. There is one sign of rust repair near the transmission tunnel, but minor. I would say this car was an excellent car before it was restored. New convertible top, New Veloce Exhaust Header, and Exhaust system from Centerline Engine runs strong, no smoke. Transmission has been converted to 5 speed with alfa GTV gear box. All synchros are good, no grinding. Engine does leak oil here and there. 5 new vredestein classic tires. Nardi wooden steering wheel in exellent condition. Chromes are exellent. There is one small dent to the rear bumper , and the seam next to it is misaligned a little as shown in last picture. If you are really picky you can pop it out and adjust the bumper so that the seam is perfectly aligned. But it is fine right now and hardly noticeable. This car is my love and joy for the last year. I spent a lot of money and time to make it perfect. I recently got a rare 15k mile honda s800 that i put the engine together myself, and 2 motorcycles, so my hands and my garage are full, It is time to let someone else enjoys the car. I just have a reasonable low reserve to cover most of what i put in. You're welcome to come inspect the car in Huntington Beach, CA. |

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
Alfa sprints toward Geneva with two-door Giulia
Fri, Feb 3 2017Alfa Romeo is poised to add a two-door version of the Giulia to its lineup, according to a report from Motoring out of Australia. The coupe could be called the Giulia Sprint and be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, the website says. The Sprint name has been used on a variety of sporty Alfas, like the 1965 Giulia Sprint GTA shown above, over the years. The move would broaden Alfa's lineup which currently stands at just the Giulia sedan and the hard-edged 4C sports car in the United States. The 2018 Stelvio SUV joins Alfa's portfolio this year. The company's five-year plan indicates two specialty vehicles will join its lineup in the coming years, though they're unspecified. An Alfa spokesman declined to comment to Autoblog on future product. The Giulia two-door would likely share powertrains with its sedan sibling, which offers a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 280 horsepower and a turbo 2.9-liter Ferrari-derived 505-hp V6. The coupe would take aim at the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, BMW 4 Series, Cadillac ATS coupe, Audi A5, Infiniti Q60, and others. Related Video:
6 cars that are eligible for import to the U.S. in 2023
Wed, Jan 18 2023For car enthusiasts, the most exciting part of ringing in a new year is watching the list of import-eligible cars grow. Federal regulations make bringing a late-model car from Europe or Asia mind-bogglingly difficult, but these barriers fall as soon as a vehicle turns 25. There's no need to slash through a jungle of red tape; simply ship your dream forbidden fruit over, pay import duties, and in most states you're good to park a fresh import car in your garage. Of course, you need to locate any car you're considering importing, whether it's on this list of cars you can import in 2023 or not. A quick search of the internet will show that there are a lot of places that specialize in sourcing cars to import into the United States, and while we don't have any firsthand experience with any of them, we can point out a few well-known import car dealers, including some at auction. Duncan Imports and Classics bills itself as "America's Largest JDM Dealer" and keeps a large inventory of vehicles that have already been brought into the States. The Import Guys boast options to ship and finance worldwide, Davey Japan claims to have exported over 50,000 vehicles from Japan, and Goonet Exchange says it's operated by "Japan's largest used car information site." Japanese site Be Forward lists a staggering 10,949 online reviews at the time of writing with an average score of around 4.5 out of 5 stars. If your new year's resolution is to buy a car from overseas, here are some of the highlights from 2023's crop of importable cars. Keep in mind that some of these import cars were introduced in 1997 but didn't enter production until 1998, while others made their debut late in the year. And without further ado, here is a list of six cars that are eligible for import to the U.S. in 2023 that are worth noting. Cars that are eligible to import into the U.S. in 2023 Alfa Romeo 166 Developed to replace the 164, the 166 stands out as Alfa Romeo's last true flagship sedan; it wasn't directly replaced. It shares its front-wheel-drive platform with the Lancia Kappa but the two cars look nothing alike. Alfa Romeo gave the big sedan a smooth, relatively elegant design that borrows several styling cues from the smaller 156.
