1977 Alfa Romeo Spider In Excellent Condition - True Survivor Like Mbg & Triumph on 2040-cars
Dallas, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Here is an excellent, rust free true survivor car. You hear the term 'survivor' all the time but the term is usually used incorrectly. This unmolested car starts right up and runs terrific with an amazing exhaust note especially when you start winding her out - she screams. Has had very little annual mileage since 1976 or 1977. The car was manufactured in Aug. 1976 but is titled as a 1977 model year. It loves the curves and also the highway. Unlike my previous TR6, with this 5-speed car you are never running at high rpm on the highway and passing power is always on tap. The included Alfa Romero factory hard top is in excellent condition with only a small light scratch in the vinyl. The glass on the hard top and on the car is all excellent. The soft top is like brand new with excellent rear window. The original Alfa Romeo aluminum wheels are included as is the chrome Alfa luggage rack, jack, air conditioning unit and compressor (disconnected), the owners manual and a pile of receipts totaling quite a bit several hundred or over a thousand dollars. The alternator is quite new. The leather interior is quite good - there is a small hole in the passenger seat. The dual true side draft Weber cabs work great. The rotor, cap, wires and plugs are new. The car came up from Tennessee where it was originally purchased and spent the last 10 - 15 years here in Dallas, PA where it was only driven in the dry summer weather. The body has a few minor dents, dings and light scratches. The is a spot on the hood that look like a small split in the paint, perhaps from engine heat. There is a small crack in the dash. There is a small dent in the rear fender lip that was needs to be filled and smoothed, but is it NOT a rust hole, it is a minor dent. The floors are perfect as is the under side of the car. There is one or two small holes in the spare tire well which will be easy to repair. There is only a small paint bubble in the paint behind the right front wheel but is certainly not indicative of any major rocker rust as they are extremely solid and there is no where on the car where a magnet wont stick. I've agonized over selling this car since it is fully road worthy and antique plate/insurance eligible, but it will be much easier to sell then my 2 other project cars. I will work with your shipper if that is required. You can see more pictures at the following link and more will be added soon tp include the hard to, factory aluminum wheels and spare tire, paper work, jack, a/c compressor and other items that will be included: http://s466.photobucket.com/user/oita-dow/media/ALFA%20SPIDER/alfa014.jpg.html In the spirit of full and honest disclosure, since this 38 year old car is being sold as is, here are some items which can use some attention: 1. The speedometer has stop working, but the mileage on the speedometer is 53,251 and the title reads 53,219. I bought the car last summer and have not driven it much at all as I am working on at 1974 TR6 and a 1946 Willys CJ2 project, but I put no more 400 - 500 miles on it. I was told the fix is not extremely difficult but haven't gotten to it. 2. The gas tank drips if it is more than apx. 1/3 full. I do not know if this is a hose or not. I simply do not fill it more than 1/3 full which is plenty of cruising time. 3. The oil pressure gauge isn't working, probably just the sending unit. (Temperature, fuel gauge and low fuel warning light work fine. Heat and defrost/fan work fine.) 4. The turn signal flasher isn't working so I must work the signal lever manually to signal a turn. This is probably just a matter of replacing the low-cost flasher but I'm not sure which part it is. 5. The passenger side wiper are is included but needs a new rubber. (cheap) 6. The car appears to have had an original color respray at some point in it's life and it is not extremely shiny, but it still looks great.

Alfa Sprint Speciale racer looks fantastic, sounds even better
Thu, Oct 2 2014Nothing quite sounds like a vintage Alfa Romeo four-cylinder engine at full gallop, especially in motorsport trim. With a combination of low-frequency burbling played over a high-pitch scream, they really know how to sing. This week Petrolicious takes a look at a truly unique Alfa Sprint Speciale that's just as adept at competing in the wide-open La Carrera Panamericana vintage race in Mexico as it is snaking through some undulating, tree-lined back roads. Ostensibly, this is a 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale, although it's really much more the creation of Alfa-restorer Conrad Stevenson. The roof section, including the holes for the windshield and rear glass, is original to one of these fantastic-looking coupes. But everything below that is Stevenson's handiwork. To shape the styling, he combined the original Bertone design with his own ideas to purpose build the car for the challenges of the Mexican race. As usual, Petrolicious nails every aspect of the production, especially the handheld camera work inside the cabin as the car negotiates the curves. It really communicates the connection between this swoopy Alfa and its builder. Plus, the sound mix lets the engine play its glorious tune.

CAR adds details to Alfa Romeo's five-year plan
Thu, Aug 9 2018Much of this month's issue of CAR Magazine is devoted to Alfa Romeo and what we can expect from it in the next five years. Of course, they unfortunately went to print before FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne died (and it took a while for it to land in my mail box), so certain elements are bound to change in light of new leadership. Nevertheless, there are plenty of interesting tidbits to chew on. First, there are a few more details regarding the Alfa Romeo 8C super car, which was confirmed during FCA's recent five-year plan announcement. Unlike the last front-engined, rear-drive 8C, the new one would be mid-engined with the rear wheels powered by a version of the Quadrofoglio turbo V6 brought up to the 600-horsepower range, and some amount of electrification added to the front axle. CAR indicates a total output of around 800 hp and 660 pound-feet of torque. A carbon fiber monococque would help keep the weight down, and to keep cost down, reporter Georg Kacher posits its production will be farmed out to a third party like Dallara. Both pricing and performance will be interesting with the 8C: how much does FCA want Alfa Romeo to compete with Ferrari? Without Marchionne leading both, perhaps it won't matter. View 19 Photos Then again, how much it wants Alfa to compete with Maserati might, as the future Giulia-based GTV coupe could do just that. Apparently, the coupe and convertible range is intended to compete with the entire breadth of the German two-door catalogue, from 4 Series and M4, to C- and E-Class Coupes. Presumably it'll therefore be more than just a Giulia coupe. Regular, high-performance and plug-in hybrid versions are mentioned. Finally, as was part of the previously announced five-year plan, there will be SUVs introduced on either side of the Stelvio. Apparently, it was originally thought that the smaller of the two would be produced on the cheaper Renegade/500X platform, but that has been nixed in favor of the Giulia's "Giorgio" platform to maintain a higher degree of engineering sophistication. If so, good call. The bigger of the two new Alfa SUVs would also be on the platform, and since it's been rumored that the next Jeep Grand Cherokee will be as well, it'll be interesting to see how similar those two mid-size SUVs will potentially be. There are many more Alfa insights from CAR, but as it's restricted to print and not on their website, we can only urge you to swing by your local magazine rack and pick up the latest issue. They do good stuff.
Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
