1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce on 2040-cars

You are bidding on a 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce that has been in storage since 1987. The engine ran fine and the transmission shifted smoothly with no syncro issues when put in storage. The engine currently turns freely but has not been started. The car rolls freely but has no brakes. The clutch master cylinder is seized and I do not know the condition of the clutch slave cylinder or other clutch parts. Due to the length of time in storage the car will need work in order to become road worthy and bidders should consider this car a "project" car in need of restoration. I purchased the car in 1986 and shortly afterwards had a body shop repair the rocker panels and rear wheel arches with metal parts from International Auto Parts. The rocker area was not repaired in the factory style and the joint on the door sill reflects poor workmanship as can be seen from the photos. I believe they made the rocker area structurally sound but I am making no representation whatsoever regarding any structural aspect of the car. Auto body filler was used on the inside of the rear wheel arches. The body shop painted the car and there is overspray and "orange peal" in some areas, they also used epoxy and fiberglass cloth for some patches, some of which can be seen in the photos. Bidders should conduct their own examination of the vehicle or make allowances in their bid price to repair areas traditionally subject to rust in Alfa Romeos of this vintage. This car is substanitally complete. It has the 1750 engine ( number 00551.2514) with the Spica fuel injection. The car was originally white. but red when I purchased it. I believe the only missing parts are the lense to the backup light, tool kit , pull tab on the glove compartment door and the fan shroud, one hub cap is damaged. The car still has the cross bar between the front bumpers and the ridgeline above the grill. It does not appear that it has ever sustained any front collision damage other than some small dents in the grill. All bumpers are in good condition with no significant dents and the car still has the "lolipop" reflectors in the rear as can be seen in the photos. On close inspection one can see that the rear edge of the trunk is not quite right and probably sustained some damage. There is also some rust under the rear edge of the trunk. The car comes with a new carpet kit which has not been installed - the carpet was only put in place for photographs and has not been permanently attached. I am at least the third owner. I have some invoices from prior owners going back to 1977 and an odometer reading of 46,530 miles. One invoice shows that in 1981 at 68,449 miles the engine was rebuilt by Gaston Andrey Inc., an Alfa dealer in the Boston area. Car has optional hardtop. This model Alfa Romeo is hard to find and increasing in value. Well restored examples are being advertised in the $30,000 range. Despite the short commings this car has I believe it is a good candidate for restoration. Alternatively, one could bring it up to daily driver condition with the thought of a full restoration at a later date. This car is offered AS IS with no guarantee of any nature. The buyer is responsible for any and all shipping costs. It is the responsibility of anyone bidding on this car to satisfy themselves as to its condition prior to bidding. Although the seller has tried to acurately describe the condition of this vehicle, and present representative photos, the seller accepts no liability whatsoever for inaccuracies, errors or omissions. The car has Pirelli P4 tires which were new 25 years ago and the successful bidder is responsible for determining if they are road worthy.

Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale supercar revealed with gas and EV versions, gorgeous either way
Wed, Aug 30 2023This gorgeous red supercar is the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. The name “33” has several references, the first being to the design, as this new 33 Stradale borrows from the famous Tipo 33. Secondly, Alfa is only producing 33 examples of this supercar, and all of them are already sold. The powertrain strategy for the 33 Stradale is perhaps the most interesting part of it, as buyers can choose between a twin-turbo V6 and a fully electric version. AlfaÂ’s gas-powered 33 Stradale produces 620 horsepower, is shifted via an eight-speed automatic dual-clutch gearbox and puts its power down exclusively to the rear wheels via an electronic limited-slip differential. Its top speed is 206 mph, and the 0-62 mph time is “less than three seconds.” The engine itself is said to be a derivative of the Ferrari-developed V6 you find under the hood of the Alfa Quadrifoglio models. The battery-electric 33 Stradale produces “more than 750 horsepower” and goes 0-62 mph in under 2.5 seconds, but Alfa isnÂ’t saying much else about the powertrain. We presume it will be all-wheel drive due to multiple electric motors being necessary. Range is currently estimated at 280 miles on the optimistic WLTP test cycle. The platform is a combination aluminum H-frame and carbon fiber monocoque that shares plenty with the Maserati MC20, and the roof is engineered with the same materials, supporting the butterfly doors. A front-axle lift system comes standard, and you also get a drive mode selector to choose between Strada (road) and Pista (track). Launch control is activated via a “Quadrifoglio” button. Big Brembo carbon ceramic brakes do the stopping, with six-piston calipers in front and four-piston units in the rear. While there may be a lot underneath that is shared with the MC20, its design is pure Alfa Romeo. Its interior is just as impressive as the beautiful exterior, too. The controls in the center stack are all about physical engagement, as they feature the most beautiful design that just makes us want to turn, twist and toggle them. Above that rests a widescreen touch display powered by Uconnect5 in a similar layout as the MC20. The cluster features a “3D telescope display,” which Alfa claims is the first of its kind. Plus, the steering wheel purposefully doesnÂ’t have a single button on it for maximum driving enjoyment.
Alfa Romeo planning a four-cylinder, 350-hp Giulia Veloce?
Mon, Nov 13 2017At 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.

1938 Alfa Romeo 158 Alfetta homage, built by TV's Ant Anstead, coming to Barrett-Jackson
Tue, Mar 16 2021The Alfa Romeo 158 "Alfetta" was the dominant racing car in the inaugural Formula One season of 1950. The car finished 1-2-3 in the first Grand Prix at Silverstone and won all 11 of the races it entered that year. Now, there's a re-creation of that famous Alfa, and it's crossing the block at the upcoming Barrett-Jackson auction. The re-creation is the work of Ant Anstead, who you may know as the mechanic half of the titular duo on the used-car-flip show "Wheeler Dealers." (Anstead replaced Edd China, who served in that role previously.) The car is built on an MGTD ladder frame topped with custom spaceframe and a two-piece composite body. Whereas the original was powered by a supercharged 1.5-liter eight-cylinder engine, the re-creation uses a modern all-aluminum, DOHC 2.0-liter Alfa Romeo inline-four. Modifications to the engine include porting and polishing, dry-sump lubrication, installation of a lighter flywheel and the fitment of Weber side-draft carburetors. An Alfa five-speed manual transmission connects to a limited-slip rear axle. The chassis features adjustable coil-over dampers and disc brakes, and the car rides on wire wheels with knock-off hubs. In the cockpit, there's a leather driver's seat, a period-type four-spoke steering wheel and vintage-style Alfa gauges set in an aluminum dashboard. The build was chronicled in the 12-part series, "Ant Anstead Master Mechanic." This Alfa homage is selling at no reserve. We'll be watching to see if his "Wheeler Dealers" partner, Mike Brewer, raised a paddle. Related Video:
