Burbank, California, United States

 I bought this car to restore it but numerous side projects and planning for my wedding coming up takes up too much time and so Id like to pass her on to someone with a true love for these beauties who has the time for her.  This car is a great restoration project.

Good condition, few nicks and chips in the paint-- can be touched up, no rust or structural damage, rear bumper has been replaced with bumper from earlier Alfa Spider model (chrome), looks better IMO. Leaks a few drops of oil here and there from the lower oil pan gasket. This is an easy/cheap fix.


This is the first fuel injected alfa spider. It uses the Spica mechanical fuel injection which was rebuilt by the previous owner and works well. 

There is a fuel pressure regulator and the idle does need to be adjusted as it seems like it gives the engine too much gas when starting.  

Has a Kill-Switch installed which needs to be held down while cranking in order to start (prevent theft etc)


New Parts/Repairs: 
  • New Oil Vapor Separator
  • New Fuel Hose
  • New Door Handle (Needs installation)
  • Valves adjusted
  • New OEM Alternator
  • New radiator overflow
  • Convertible top is in great condition with no tears/wear etc
  • has a louder custom exhaust (put in by previous owner) --- might need a mount installed at an exhaust shop though
  • interior is in very good condition with no tears or rips on the seats (see photos)
The driver's side door handle needs to be repaired, i have the part already and its included. Also included is manuals and repair guides and a few extra parts. 

No RUST cancer etc. California car. Always been garaged or covered. 

Motor needs to be checked mechanically. No knocking, however cylinder #2 has low compression. This has to be dealt with prior to getting it smogged (please check your states smog laws ), I'm in California so the laws are the worst here. Even so, it turns on, and Runs. Has never overheated. I've driven this around and it has good oil pressure. Longest trip I've taken with it has been about a 2.5 hour trip and I didn't encounter issues.

I will upload a video of it running and revving in idle soon.

I registered and put the car in NON-OP so I could work on it, so there are NO fees etc, and the title is in my name.

This car gets plenty of compliments from those who both know its history and even those that don't. Lots of car for the money and I think these are appreciating in value as are the Datsun Roadsters and MGs. 

Steering and handling is amazing. Car is super fun to drive around. 


I can ship anywhere, and can even get good rates for shipping since I've dealt with car brokers across the country.

As with all used car sales- Car is AS IS WHERE IS, no refunds etc. Please read carefully including all details prior to bidding.
Good luck bidding.

FCA reportedly joins the crowd skipping this year's Paris Motor Show

Thu, Jun 14 2018

It's likely FCA vehicles will not be seen at the Paris Motor Show this year. Automotive News is reporting that Fiats, Alfa Romeos, Jeeps and Abarths will not be a part at the show, based on information circulating in the French media. There's a possibility that Maseratis will be displayed at a special section dedicated to upscale cars, but Maserati too will not have a show stand of its own. Ferrari will have a stand, but as it happens, the supercar maker has been a standalone brand since 2015. Skipping the Paris show follows FCA's decision not to take part in the Frankfurt show last year, and the two shows alternate as the biggest autumnal automotive show in Europe. Volkswagen will also not attend the event, and neither will Ford, Nissan or Infiniti. This has become a problem for car shows worldwide, including Detroit's North American International Auto Show. FCA has not released a formal statement about the matter, but a FCA spokesman, quoted by the French magazine L'Argus, reportedly said that the sales and publicity brought in by the show stand would not justify the costs of attending. The news mirrors Volvo's newly announced plan to not take part at the next Geneva Motor Show, but to arrange "bespoke activities" to introduce its cars instead. Related Video:
