1981 Alfa Romeo Veloce Spider Convertible -- 25 Years of Complete Service Records Included --
VIN: ZARBA5415B1012184
Here’s a nice Alfa Spider Veloce
Convertible we’ve acquired and can now offer our great Ebay customers. I’m
always on the lookout for lower-milege, unusual vehicles and really hit the
mark with this one! It was purchased new
here locally at Alfa of Tacoma in November, 1981 and has remained in the Puget
Sound area since. There is NO history of any accidents, title brands for salvage, flood
damage, rebuild or any other nasty negatives to cause concern. Please
contact me with any questions or to make an offer before the auction ends. My direct phone number is 206/914-1173 and my
name is Mark Thompson. You’re welcome and encouraged to make an
appointment during business hours to inspect this great little roadster.
I’ll be sure to include all the original factory books and complete, detailed service records with the title. From those records the following is some of the major work that’s been done and parts replaced. These receipts begin in August, 1989 and run through this month, exceeding $10,200 in total. Just some of them include:
Clutch replacement at 69,700 miles, catalytic converter at 78K, Brake Booster replaced at 86,400 Miles, fuel injection pump at 103K, the Cylinder Head completely rebuilt at 110,200 miles, New water pump, Fuel lines & Pinion seal at 117,400 miles, New suspension springs at 124,750 miles, another catalytic converter at 128,300 miles The starter motor was replaced at 133,365. Both the in-tank primer pump and main fuel pump were replaced and the gas tank flushed & sealed at 134,400 miles this past month. Major service (totaling $1,133) done within the last 50 miles.
Because I’m always asked, “Veloce” designates the middle of the model line for the Alfa Spider. The base model is the Spartan “Graduate” with vinyl seats and no extras (the “Veloce” has nicer leather seats). Top-of-the-line is the “Quadrifoglio” with the green four leaf clover insignia.
Hop in, fire her up and the
2000cc 4-cylinder injected engine starts almost instantly, even when cold, with
just a little feathering of the manual choke.
I took the car out a few days ago for these photos and cruised at 60 MPH
for about twenty miles. What a difference having that fifth transmission gear
makes - no grinding into second gear as you’ll find on many Alfas.! Nice,
strong clutch too! A black fabric
convertible top is fitted and is in good shape however the top bow just above
the rear window has come unriveted and needs to be re-installed. A black steel rollbar has also been fitted
for safety. There is no noticeable body
rust, just a few bubbles along the bottom edge that have been there for some years. All the glass is in great shape. The factory color red paint is clear and
bright, still holding quite a shine! The
14” factory Campagnolo wheels are all straight
and true, and the four Dunlop N60 radials appear to be at least 70%. Take
another good look at my interior photos. The black leather upholstery is
in excellent condition. I find no cracks or wear-through spots in the
leather. I’m sure the carpets are original
as well and are still very clean, having always been protected with factory
mats that I’ll be sure to include. NO cracks to the dashtop at all! As pictured, both door panels are great with
no rips, tears or scuff points. Both electric
windows function as they should. I want
you to BID WITH CONFIDENCE and know that you are purchasing a nice car, however,
please don’t be upset if I miss a few minor flaws or you are required to spend
money on an unforeseen problem! No used car is ever perfect. I want
you to be happy with your purchase (and with me) and that really is my main
goal! As outlined above, please contact me with any questions. My direct phone number is 206/914-1173 and my name is Mark Thompson. You’re welcome and encouraged to make an appointment to stop by and inspect, drive and make an offer. If you’re thinking of bidding on a comparable MG or Triumph of similar vintage, you really owe it to yourself to look over this car first! A Few Additional Terms and Conditions: Please check the photos over closely and call with any questions BEFORE you place a bid! You’re encouraged to inspect the vehicle at our premises on weekdays, so send your representative early to be sure you don't miss this one. We reserve the right to cancel your bid if you have any negative feedback. DEALERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO BID AS WELL! Additionally I reserve the right to end the auction early if the Alfa is no longer for sale because we’ve
We’re
always very happy to work with any shipper you choose, but you’re also welcome
to do what many of our past buyers from as far away as Alaska, Arizona, the
Midwest, Canada, Florida, New York and even the Mexican Baja have done – fly in
here to Seattle (we’ll pick you up at Sea-Tac International just a few miles
away) and then start a road trip home the same day! I wouldn’t hesitate to
drive long-distance in this Benz! As a
respected Ebay seller with many, many satisfied online buyers, I want you to
bid with confidence knowing that the Mercedes runs and drives out as it should
AND that it is being properly represented to you! Please don’t be upset if I miss a minor flaw
or some small issue comes up on the car.
NO used vehicle is ever perfect.
Having said that, I won’t hesitate to drive cross-country in it today! A Few Additional Terms and Conditions: A nonrefundable $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of the auction’s end. We can accept PAYPAL, but only for the deposit amount because of the high fees they charge. The balance is due by cash or certified funds within seven business days unless prior arrangements have been made with me. Please remember you are bidding to buy and I fully expect the winning bidder to fulfill their Ebay contract! You’re not bidding to hold or then come inspect and test-drive the vehicle later -- You’re more than welcome to do this before the auction ends.
If you do decide to have the car shipped home, there are numerous vehicle transport companies to choose from. We ship vehicles regularly and I'd suggest that you get a transport bid from Dependable Auto Shippers (DAS). They're Ebay’s preferred transporter and will give you a fair quote. Call my designated rep, Janice, directly at (469)587-5096. Give her my affiliate number (2362642) and she can pull up all our information for door-to-door or even station-to-station prices. As an alternative, you might also get bids from the U-Ship.com website you’ll be able to choose a transport broker from multiple offers. The zip code for pick-up would be 98002 (Auburn, Washington). The shipping of the vehicle and company chosen are the responsibility of the BUYER. |

Share price falls on skepticism of Chrysler-Fiat five-year plan
Thu, 08 May 2014Following this week's Fiat Chrysler extravaganza, where the Italian-American manufacturer announced its plans for the next five years, the Autoblog staff was cautiously optimistic of the company's future. Investors? Not so much.
Fiat saw its shares tumble 12 percent in Wednesday's trading, falling from 8.67 euros ($12.06 at today's rates) to 7.44 euros ($10.35) as of this writing, with blame partly going to the Italian half of the FCA marriage, which recorded a pretty significant drop in profits during the first quarter of this year.
The plan, which will cost around $77 billion over the next several years, is facing criticism from investors thanks in part to a 1.4-percent drop in Fiat's first-quarter profits, to 622 million euros ($862 million). That figure is also short of Bloomberg analysts' projections, which predicted $1.18 billion in profits before taxes, interest and one-time items.
Marchionne says no offers are on the table for Fiat Chrysler
Sun, Sep 3 2017MONZA, Italy (Reuters) - Fiat Chrysler (FCA) has not received any offer for the company nor is the world's seventh-largest carmaker working on any "big deal", Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne said on Saturday. Speaking on the sidelines of the Italian Formula One Grand Prix, Marchionne said the focus remained on executing the company's business plan to 2018. Asked whether FCA had been approached by someone or whether there was an offer on the table, he simply said: "No." The company's share price jumped to record highs last month after reports of interest for the group or some of its brands from China. China's Great Wall Motor Co Ltd openly said it was interested in FCA, but had not held talks or signed a deal with executives at the Italian-American automaker. The stock move was also helped by expectations that the company might separate from some of its units. Marchionne reiterated on Saturday that FCA was working on a plan to "purify" its portfolio and that units, such as the components businesses, would be separated from the group. He hopes to complete that process by the end of 2018. "There are activities within the group that do not belong to a car manufacturer, for example the components businesses. The group needs to be cleared of those things," he told journalists. Asked whether an announcement could come this year, Marchionne said it was up to the board to decide and that it would next meet at the end of September. He said the time was not right for a spin-off of luxury brand Maserati and premium Alfa Romeo and the two brands needed to become self-sustainable entities first and "have the muscle to stand on their feet, make sufficient cash". "The way we see it now, it's almost impossible, if not impossible, to see a spin-off of Alfa Romeo/Maserati, these are two entities that are immature and in a development phase," he said. "It's the wrong moment, we are not in a condition to do it." He said the concept of separating the two brands from FCA's mass market business made sense and did not rule out this happening in future, but not under his tenure, which lasts until April 2019. "If there is an opportunity in future, it would certainly happen after I'm gone. It won't happen while Marchionne is around," he said.
Stellantis will build four electric vehicles in Italy, say union reps
Wed, Jun 16 2021MILAN — Stellantis will produce four medium-segment electric vehicles, of different brands, at its Melfi plant in southern Italy from 2024, the UILM union said on Tuesday. Since Stellantis was formed at the beginning of this year through the merger of Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, production in Italy has been under scrutiny for costing more than elsewhere in Europe. "Stellantis announced that Melfi would be the first plant in Italy to get new models, based on post-2022 business plan," UILM said in a statement after workers' representatives met with the carmaker at Italy's industry ministry in Rome. Future production at Melfi will be based on a single enhanced production line that will merge the two existing ones, the union said, adding the restructuring will leave production capacity at the site unchanged at around 400,000 units. UILM's head, Rocco Palombella, said unions had not received all the answers they wanted as Stellantis was still working on its new business plan. "But the positive element is that the company has not absolutely called for structural redundancies," he said after the meeting. Stellantis Chief Executive Carlos Tavares has said the group would present its business plan late this year or in early 2022. Stellantis, the world's fourth-largest carmaker, gave no details about what was discussed at the meeting. In an earlier statement the company said it was working "with determination and speed" to support the energy transition of all its Italian sites. Italy's Industry minister, Giancarlo Giorgetti, however, said in a separate statement after the meeting that Stellantis had yet to decide where it would build its third electric battery plant in Europe. Stellantis, which already has two battery factory projects in France and Germany, has said adding gigafactories in Europe and the United States would be decided this year. The company is holding talks on this with Rome, as Italy is one of its main production hubs in Europe. Related video: Green Plants/Manufacturing Alfa Romeo Fiat Jeep Citroen Opel Peugeot Stellantis
