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.

Remember this is a forty year old driver quality car and it is being offered at NO RESERVE and without warranty written or implied. One opening bid of $3900.00 will win this car so, bid only to win. Transport is the sole responsibility of the auction winner, but seller will cooperate with arrangements. Payment must be made in full via domestic U.S.A. bank check and payment must be received within seven business days after end of the auction. The car will not be released for transport until funds have cleared my bank (Bank of America). Happy bidding!

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.

Alfa Romeo recalls Giulia and Stelvio — cruise control can go haywire

Fri, Mar 8 2019

DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler is recalling more than 60,000 cars and SUVs worldwide because they can keep going on cruise control or accelerate even after a driver taps the brakes. The recall covers certain Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio models from 2017 through 2019. The company says a software error caused the problem, and it's advising people not to use the adaptive cruise control until it's repaired. The feature keeps moving vehicles a set distance from the cars in front of them. Fiat Chrysler says it's not aware of any crashes or injuries from the problem. Adaptive cruise control can still be turned off by stepping on the brakes for a longer time. Owners will be notified next month when they can schedule an update to the brake system software.

Alfa Romeo turns it up to 11 with Harrison guitars and Marshall amps

Fri, Jun 27 2014

To American enthusiasts, nothing might say rock n' roll quite like a classic muscle car. But that doesn't preclude the Europeans from trying. Volkswagen has partnered with Fender for its premium audio systems, and now Alfa Romeo is teaming up with some rocking powerhouses as well. The Italian automaker is collaborating with Harrison Custom Guitar Works to create the limited-edition axe you see here. The electric guitar is designed around Alfa's iconic grille and uses automotive materials like aluminum and carbon fiber as well as traditional guitar woods like poplar, maple, ebony and Korina. The cross-bars, pickups, tail piece and bridge are CNC-machined from aluminum billet. Only 11 examples will be made, each taking eight months to construct, and priced at GBP4,000 (about $6,800 at current exchange rates). At the same time Alfa has also created a one-off MiTo concept car together with Marshall Amplification. The hatchback packs a custom Marshall JVM 50-watt amp and a pair of 12-inch 75-watt speakers, but has also been decked out with gold-mesh trim on the grille, head- and taillight surrounds, side mirrors, door handles and lower bumper – just like a Marshall stack – while the interior has been worked over with Marshall treadplates, white piping and gold trim. The shift knob has even been replaced by a Shure SH55 microphone. Though the collaborations look like something straight out of This Is Spinal Tap (with a touch of The Graduate thrown in for good measure), they'll both be showcased at a special screening in London of another rock documentary: Sound City, directed by Foo Fighters frontman (and former Nirvana drummer) Dave Grohl. You can, however, check them out in the pair of image galleries and the press releases below. CRAFTED FOR PERFORMANCE: HARRISON CUSTOM GUITAR WORKS UNVEILS ULTRA-EXCLUSIVE ALFA ROMEO-INSPIRED GUITAR - Harrison Custom Guitar Works create the 'Alfa Romeo' – an ultra-limited edition Alfa Romeo-inspired guitar - The 'Alfa Romeo' integrates traditional craftsmanship with performance materials such as carbon fibre and aluminium - Hand-built to order for GBP4,000 with each guitar taking eight months to create Harrison Custom Guitar Works based in Yorkshire (UK) has created an ultra-exclusive electric guitar inspired by Alfa Romeo's design and heritage. The 'Alfa Romeo', is a completely custom-made design that draws inspiration from the style, materials and technology of the Italian brand's road cars.
