Purchased from an Estate Sale of a car collector in 2013. 

1977 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce 49 State Non-Catalyst Model.  Has black canvas convertible top.   Also included Parrish Plastics black vinyl hardtop. 

Solid, complete original car with the exception of headlight trim rings, clutch slave cylinder.  The spare tile wheel well is rotted and needs replacement.   Body and interior are decent, dash is in good condition, frame is solid and straight, floor pans are solid.  Overall, the car is an excellent restoration candidate.

The driver's side front fender is missing paint as you can see by the photos, small rip in driver's side car seat.  Surface rust in various spots on the body.

All ignition parts were replaced including: distributor cap, rotor, points, plugs, condensers, coil and wires.  Cleaned fuel system, cleaned and treated fuel tank, replaced fuel filters, fuel injector pump belt and filter.  Alternator belt replaced.  Replaced broken cutch pivot pin.

I had the car running in 2013.  It has been sitting in the garage for over a year.  It will crank right over with a fresh battery but does not start.  Due to health issues, this is as far as I can take the restoration.    Includes repair manual, full color wiring diagram, Owner's Manual and several repair and maintenance manuals downloaded from the internet. 

I will be happy to answer any and all questions to the best of my ability.  Additional photos of specific items will be furnished upon request.   Send message for phone number to speak to Frank.

Shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer.  Deposit of $250 required within 24 hours, full payment within 3 days of auction close.  I accept Paypal, Bank Check, Cash.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla Model X towing drag race, Porsche 918 salvage auction

Wed, Mar 23 2016

Watch an Alfa Romeo 4C drag race against a Tesla Model X towing an Alfa Romeo 4C. The ridiculous (or, perhaps more appropriately, ludicrous) race appeared in MotorTrend's Instagram, which was then shared on Facebook by Tesla Motors Autopilot Program Director Sterling Anderson, along with the comment, "Fun fact: many high-performance cars cross the quarter mile line faster when towed by a Model X than they do on their own four wheels." While we can't quite see the actual results of the drag race in the video, it appears to be a close one. Check it out in the video above, and read more from Electrek. A Porsche 918 Spyder has gone up for auction. Unfortunately, it's a salvage auction, and said performance plug-in hybrid is totally mangled. The gut-wrenching photos reveal an even sadder detail, as the car's odometer shows it only logged 92 miles before being involved in what appears to have been a terrible wreck (though the listing describes the miles as "not actual"). The current bid on the Copart auction site is up to $106,000, and the listing shows a $600,000 repair estimate. The very expensive hunk of metal and carbon fiber is located in Long Island. Check out the listing for yourself, or read more at MotorAuthority. GKN Driveline says that German drivers are more interested in plug-in hybrids (especially with all-wheel drive) than conventional hybrid cars. In a poll of more than 1,000 drivers commissioned by GKN, 75 percent preferred PHEVs to standard hybrids, while 61.2 percent said that 50 kilometers (31 miles) of electric range is enough for their daily driving duties. About 81 percent are "wary of hybrids," most believing them to be a poor value. 52 percent said their ideal car would combine a plug and all-wheel drive. "We believe that plug-in hybrids with all-wheel drive make sense," says GKN Automotive President of Engineering Peter Moelgg, "and the public's positive response to vehicle programmes that offer this combination – like the Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine, BMW i8, and Porsche 918 Spyder – can only continue to grow." Read more in the press release below. NEW RESEARCH REVEALS GERMAN DRIVERS PREFER PLUG-IN HYBRIDS Lohmar, Germany, 22 March 2016: Drivers now consider plug-in hybrid vehicles to be more attractive and practical than conventional hybrids, a survey commissioned by GKN Driveline has revealed.

Alfa Romeo 4C will be refreshed for the 2019 model year

Sun, Dec 10 2017

Alfa Romeo Chief Technical Officer Roberto Fedeli said at a launch event for the Stelvio Quadrifoglio that an updated version of the 4C is coming next year as a 2019 model. "We are coming back to Formula 1," he said, "and we need the 4C to be our halo car," Fedeli told Autocar. But don't expect to see the refresh bring with it a manual transmission. No future high-performance models from Alfa, Maserati, or even Ferrari will be getting clutch pedals anytime soon, a decision reportedly made after Ferrari spent 10 million euros developing a manual gearbox for the California a few years back only to see exactly two customers choose the option over an automatic. We'd hazard a guess that Alfa will tone down its carbon-fiber 4C for the next generation. As fun as the little sportscar is on a race track, it's equally jarring to drive on regular roads. A revised suspension and perhaps power steering may be on the menu. Related Video:
