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.

Alfa Romeo planning a four-cylinder, 350-hp Giulia Veloce?

Mon, Nov 13 2017

At the moment, Alfa Romeo sells a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder Giulia with 280 horsepower for $37,995, and a 2.9-liter, twin-turbo six-cylinder Giulia Quadrifoglio with 505 hp for $72,000. A vacuum separates those poles, and the marketplace, echoing nature, hates it. Some recent Internet sleuthing in The Netherlands and in the U.S. might have identified a suitable object to fill that void: a 350-hp version of the 2.0-liter turbo. Last December, Dutch shop Squadra Tuning discovered an entry on Fiat Chrysler's Dutch-market parts site for a 2.0-liter turbo Giulia producing 350 metric horsepower (345 U.S. ponies). Not long after that, an Autoevolution reader submitted an image of an FCA document for the NAFTA region, which listed a 2.0-liter, 350-hp model for the USA equipped with the eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The name of the model powered by that engine: "Giulia Veloce." Certain international markets already offer a Veloce trim with an auto transmission and all-wheel drive, but engine choices are the 280-hp 2.0-liter we already get, and a 2.2-liter turbodiesel we don't get. If those overseas discoveries were merely smoke, conjecture took a huge step toward fire a few days ago when Bozi Tatarevic found a 2.0-liter, 350-hp engine option on Mopar Tech Authority, FCA's OEM service portal. Car and Driver asked Alfa Romeo for clarification, the carmaker responding, "No plans for any other engines for Giulia in North America for 2018 model year besides the 2.0L and 2.9L [gasoline] versions." Having ruled 2018 out, onlookers have turned their eyes to 2019 for the introduction of this 350-hp motor. What's more, a comment on Tatarevic's tweet sends speculation into 48-volt overboost. Twitter user Rob P replied, "This is pretty well established as happening. MY2019, USA only. 280hp + 48V electrical system + elec. assisted turbo = ~350bhp 'Veloce' in USA nomenclature." No matter how the horses are made, assuming 350 cavalli make it across the Atlantic, Alfa's lineup will profit from the addition: Buyers in the sport sedan segment would get some Italian sprezzatura to cross-shop against German Monumentalitat.

Fiat Chrysler trademarks Kamal, likely for small Alfa CUV

Tue, May 10 2016

We have Alfa Romeo news to share, and for once it's not about a product delay. Fiat Chrysler has trademarked the name Kamal and we think it will be used on one of two crossovers planned to follow the (delayed) Stelvio. Fiat Chrysler trademarked the name Kamal last month. Because trademark filings are intentionally vague, there is no specific brand attached to the application, only parent company FCA. The link to Alfa comes from a small CUV concept that used the name way back in 2003. If we had to wager, we'd say this one will be smaller than the midsize, Giulia-based Stelvio and could use a version of the same platform or whatever will underpin the brand's (eventual) small hatchback. It probably won't come in gold like the concept. We hope not, at least. Interestingly, there's no trademark for Stelvio in the US Patent and Trademark Office's database. That name was confirmed by Sergio Marchionne in February, but anyone familiar with recent Alfa news knows things change. And then they get pushed back and change again. About that waiting, though. Alfa's product plans have been made and amended, the gorgeous Giulia has been delayed, and now things seem to be on track. Maybe. If the latest trademark filing is any indication, the brand is at least thinking about what's supposed to come next. Related Video:

Alfa 4C to set the pace as WTCC safety car

Fri, Mar 14 2014

With just 240 horsepower on tap, the Alfa Romeo 4C may not be the most powerful sports car on the market. But its lightweight construction ensures that it has a power-to-weight ratio better than cars with twice the output. In short, it belongs at the front of the pack, and that's just where it will be for this year's World Touring Car Championship. That's because Alfa's nimble little sports car has been selected as the new safety car (what we'd call a "pace car") for the WTCC, starting next month with the season opener at the Moulay El Hassan Circuit in Marrakech, Morocco. For that purpose it's been fitted with the special red and black livery you see here, and will presumably carry some extra safety equipment like emergency lighting, and a couple of fire extinguishers and a first aid kit on board in case it arrives at the scene of an accident before the medical support car can get there. This year will see some new entries in the FIA's top touring car series as the new Honda Civic WTCC makes its debut with four cars on the grid, Citroen entering the series with the new C-Elysee with nine-time rally champ Sebastien Loeb and four-time WTCC champ Yvan Muller behind the wheel. After a Euro-centric start to the season, the series heads to the US in mid-September for the race at Sonoma before winding up with three rounds in the Far East. The Alfa Romeo 4C Will Be the FIA WTCC Safety Car - Eurosport Events, promoter of the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) appointed by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), has chosen the captivating Alfa Romeo supercar as Safety Car for the 2014 season - The multi-award-winning coupe will make its debut on the track with a special livery on 12 and 13 April on the Moulay El Hassan circuit of Marrakech - The recognition is linked to its winning the prestigious Grand Prize as Most Beautiful Car of 2013 at the 29th International Automobile Festival of Paris On display this week at the 84th Geneva International Motor Show with the preview of the Spider version, the Alfa Romeo 4C was chosen by Eurosport Events as the Safety Car of the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) for the entire 2014 season. The multi-award-winning coupe will therefore be present with a special livery on the World Touring Car Championship circuits starting from the first event that will be held on the Moulay El Hassan Circuit of Marrakech (Morocco) on 12 and 13 April.
