1974 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Convertible 2-door 2.0l *no Reserve!!! on 2040-cars
Ormond Beach, Florida, United States
I am in my seventies and it is time to sell
my driver quality Alfa Romeo. Last fall I turned the car over to an experienced
Alfa technician with the instructions to properly mechanically prep this
vehicle for an eventual sale. Items that were fixed and/or improved
include (but are not limited to) new front seal and pulley plus injection pump
belt, new brake master cylinder and rubber wheel hoses, new high performance
electronic ignition (RML?), new Bosch coil, new Bosch electric fuel pump and
related fuel lines, new emergency brake cable and related hardware and, of
course, all associated fluids and filters. Total cost for parts and labor (will
include receipt) was $3267.43!!! After having worked on the car and having
driven the car for a couple of days, the mechanic is convinced the
odometer miles are true. The cockpit of the Alfa is in very nice, mostly
original and in highly detailed condition. It still has the original rubber
mats throughout. The floors are solid and I applied 3m sound control mats
beneath the rubber. The door panels are straight and door jambs present very
well. The engine compartment is clean and in original unaltered condition. The
luggage compartment is also very clean, nicely detailed and it houses an almost
new spare tire mounted on a bead blasted and refinished steel rim. The original
working jack has been refinished along with the factory lug wrench. This is a
color change car having been painted in base/clear coat some years ago by a
previous owner. The original color was a factory off white (see photo of
luggage compartment without mat). The paint job, not show quality, still shines
nicely. The convertible top is an older vinyl one that is still weather tight. I
have always kept the top folded beneath the boot cover having only driven the
car in good weather. The tires are in very good condition, showing little tread
wear. Included in the sale are two original ignition keys, an original owner's
manual, a service manual, the original distributor and cap, the original coil,
new metal side emblems and a new reproduction chrome side view mirror with Alfa
Romeo logo (from International Auto Parts). The Alfa will need rocker panel
work in time (a previous owner had some correction done but not to a high
standard). Repair panels were fabricated rather than using factory
replacements. These things are taken into consideration by offering the car at
a rather low and NO RESERVE starting bid (I have two and a half times that
amount invested). The Alfa starts up, runs, drives and stops extremely well. Clutch
activity and shifting is very good (second gear is no problem after brief
gearbox warm-up). The car is garage kept and covered when it is not in use (see
picture) and cover is included with sale. |

Maserati Grecale and Alfa Romeo Tonale delayed
Mon, Oct 18 2021MILAN — Maserati on Monday delayed the launch of its new Grecale SUV until the spring of 2022 from November this year due to a global chip shortage. The announcement by the luxury brand, part of Stellantis, comes as a shortage of semiconductors forces automakers around the world to slow or suspend production. Maserati said its decision stemmed from ongoing disruptions in the supply of parts. "In particular, due to a scarcity of semiconductors, production volumes would not adequately meet expected global demand," Maserati said in a statement. A global premiere for the Grecale, which will be produced in Cassino in central Italy, was initially scheduled for Nov. 16. Stellantis this month also confirmed it would present the Tonale, the new Alfa Romeo SUV, next March after it had been expected at the end of this year. Stellantis, formed this year though the merger of Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, has halted production at several plants, including in Europe and Canada, due to the chip shortage. It has forecast it will produce 1.4 million fewer vehicles this year. The FIM-CISL union has said the impact of a semiconductor shortage on Stellantis' Italian production this year will be worse and longer-lasting than the damage to output caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Fiat set to invest $12B on new models, stop Euro losses in 3 years
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Naturally, you'd expect a massive automaker like Fiat to have an in-depth plan to exit the current European-market doldrums, and you'd expect that plan to include plenty of new vehicles to attract those precious buyers that still remain despite the financial downturn. And you'd be right, though Fiat does seem to have a few unexpected twists up its corporate sleeve.
Perhaps the biggest shocker is a report that Fiat will completely drop the Punto, a car with mass-market appeal aimed at small-car buyers cross-shopping the popular Volkswagen Polo. Its replacement will be a five-door Fiat 500 aimed at upmarket buyers (sounds awfully similar to the 500L) that will be built in Poland. Lower-end customers will reportedly be served by variants of the Fiat Panda.
Borrowing a page from the BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen playbook, reports Automotive News, Fiat is said to have plans to reignite production at its Italian factories by retooling them to build high-end vehicles from Maserati and Alfa Romeo. These will be marketed as premium products, built by skilled Italian workers (who are paid wages that are 75-percent higher than those building Fiats in Poland), and will be sold around the world.
