1969 Alfa Romeo Boat Tail Spider Project on 2040-cars
Tarrytown, New York, United States
|
This Spider underwent a complete professional metal restoration, including the floors and rockers. The body was stripped/prepped, and the doors, hood, trunk lid, and dash removed before painting in a spray boot seven years ago.
The only part left unpainted is the undercarriage, which is in epoxy primer. The car has been stored in a dry, heated garage ever since it was brought home from the body shop. Not much has been done to it other than installing the bumpers, some lights and the dash. Although the most difficulty work was painstakingly done, the car still needs a soft top, and brake, mechanical, suspension and interior work. As such, it may be of interest to those who prefer avoiding the time and expense of bringing a Duetto's body shell back to its original glory. The drive train has 78,564 miles. The engine turns freely by hand or with the starter if you apply 12 volts to the solenoid. The only parts missing include the exhaust system (front, center and rear muffler), the exhaust shield under the car, the metal shields for the clutch MC and brake MC, the metal brake lines to the rear proportioning valve and rear right caliper, the radiator plastic shroud, the factory tool kit, the soft top, and the interior rubber mats and carpeting. The following parts have been media blasted and primed or painted: front A-arms, rear trailing arms, front splash shields, heater box metal pieces, head light buckets, drive shafts, pedal assembly, and all the soft top frame pieces. New front A-arms and rear trailing arms bushing were installed along with new OEM front springs pans and rear axle limiting straps. The drive shafts received new u-joints and center bearing support. A new windshield made in England and a new windshield rubber gasket is included in the sale price. It is probably best to install these after taking care of the few cracks on the upper dashboard. Please note that the New York State DMV does not issue titles for 1972 and older vehicles. This Alfa Romeo will be sold with a certification of sale. I would prefer a cash transaction but can accept a check. However, you will have to wait until the balance shows in my account before you gain possession of the vehicle. I encourage any potential buyer to come see the car. I kindly ask those who showed interest in this car in the past but were unable to finalize its purchase to find another project. |

Reid Bigland appointed CEO of Alfa Romeo, Maserati
Tue, May 24 2016There's been a big shakeup in Fiat Chrysler's leadership team, as head of US sales and FCA Canada CEO Reid Bigland will replace Harald Wester as the chief exec for Alfa Romeo and Maserati. Wester will retain his position as chief technical officer of FCA. Both men will hang onto their positions on FCA's Group Executive Council. The move is an interesting one considering the widely publicized issues at both Alfa and Maserati. Alfa Romeo's problems are almost too many to list. The brand has promised a full-scale return to the US market for more than a decade, but faced repeated delays. Its latest volume model, the Giulia, is being savaged by reviewers over quality issues, and the company has frequently pushed its upcoming CUV back. If that were the only problem, it'd be annoying, but according to Automotive News, Alfa's relaunch is also considerably over budget. Maserati is an entirely different can of worms. Alongside Alfa, it's been stung by a slow Chinese market. Profits are down, according to Automotive News, and it's been widely rumored that the company will delay its next sports car, the Alfieri, until 2018 – it was previously promised for this year. Meanwhile, two of its three other models, the Quattroporte and GranTurismo, are dangerously long in the tooth, and the Levante is still months away from US sales. Can Bigland sort these issues out? Maybe. As Sergio Marchionne said in his official statement, "[Bigland] has an extraordinary record of growing sales and market share in the US and Canada over the last 7 years at FCA, including leading the growth and positioning of the Ram and Dodge brands for part of that time."
Alfa Romeo to launch new versions of 4C each year
Mon, Mar 24 2014Alfa Romeo is an exciting brand. You could argue that the MiTo and Giulietta hatchbacks might not speak so much to that effect, but the 4C sure does. Fortunately, Alfa has every intention of keeping the 4C at the forefront of its lineup with a series of upgrades – one to come each year, according to Top Gear. The production version of the compact mid-engined sports car launched just last year at the Geneva Motor Show, and this year the company returned with the 4C Spider concept that previews the production roadster to follow. That may prove the most substantial of the revisions Alfa has in mind for the 4C, but it may not be the last. Just what Alfa will do next remains to be seen, but sources are already speculating on what could follow. Since the current 4C is a bare-bones affair – with a minimalist cabin and no trunk to speak of with the front hood welded shut – we're wouldn't be surprised to see a slightly more accommodating version follow. After that, it's anyone's guess. Top Gear suggests a more hardcore version – it sure would be exciting to see the Quadrifoglio Verde adorn a more powerful 4C in the future. But we're still years off from seeing any such derivative come to fruition, so we'll just have to hold on tight for the time being and wait for Alfa to finally bring itself and the 4C to American showrooms.

You probably won't see FCA's famous Easter eggs on an Alfa Romeo
Thu, Nov 17 2016They started in Jeeps, with images of seven-slot grilles showing up on windshield edges, the text "SINCE 1941" appearing in the clear plastic of headlight units, and a relief map of Moab engraved into a rubber cubby liner. Then a Chrysler got a map of Detroit and the outline of Laguna Seca materialized near the Viper's window switch. We've come to call them Easter eggs, but Klaus Busse points out that they were never really meant to be secrets, just ways to dress up what he calls "dead plastic." He's nevertheless cool with the phrase being applied and likes the enthusiastic response these design details get. Busse is intimately familiar with many of them, having signed off on many of them in his time as head interior designer for FCA's US operations. He recently moved to Europe to lead Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Fiat design there, so when I caught up with him next to the new Stelvio crossover at the Alfa stand in LA, I had to ask: Are we going to see any of those neat design details in Alfas or Maseratis anytime soon? The short answer is no. But he didn't say it's out of the question. Busse said if, for example, a designer wanted to put an Italian phrase somewhere on a car that was in keeping with the brand, he would allow it. Although he didn't come out and say it, it seems like he might feel this type of fun design element isn't necessarily appropriate for a higher-end brand like Alfa. And I get that. But I'm still going to check all the compartments of that new Alfa crossover for a map of the Stelvio Pass.
