You don't want an Alfa Spider beyond 1986 because they started to get messy, starting with the bigger fuse box that your left foot would hit every time you pushed in the clutch unless you were really careful.


I had the front clip painted with PPG original Alfa red, code 5 something, can't remember at the moment and I have the rest of the Gallon. Very expensive paint.
I even have a gallon of the same code paint from another manufacturer.
Koni's on the front and I have new ones for rear in the box.
I have quite a few parts for this car, some are even nos oem that you can't even get repros of.
It runs strong, good trans, brakes, etc.
I took out the A/C when I did the radiator and just kept the electric fan hooked up to A/C switch. Not that I have ever even in the remotest needed to turn it on. Warms up fast and stays cool in all weather.
I have all the A/C parts. No cut hoses!! Speedo works but Odometer does not.
I have all the missing parts that are not shown in the pics.

Original Radio pouch, extra soft top frame, NOS OEM in original box ash tray, smaller wooden Nardi type steering wheel, which is a blessing for us taller guys.
 
Great battery, starts up first time every time, no matter how long it has been sitting. This is a good one, you can tell by how it feels going down the road. No major wreaks ever!!
All fuel lines were replaced two years ago. Driveshaft was attended to as well.

All 5 Quad wheels. No hard top. It has been on non-op for the past year, but I start it up all the time when I go to my Mom's house and drive it up and back the driveway.
Tires were new 4 or 5 years ago and have very little miles on them.
Listed mileage is approximate. I will update later.

It is in the Los Angeles Craigslist at the moment.

I am motivated to sell, but anything under $4800 does not get the parts.

Alfa Romeo takes over naming of Sauber F1 team

Sun, Feb 3 2019

HINWIL, Switzerland — Italian car brand Alfa Romeo will be the only name on its Formula One team partnership with Switzerland-based Sauber this season. The rebranding means 2007 F1 champion Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi will be driving for Alfa Romeo Racing in 2019. The team was called Alfa Romeo Sauber when it finished eighth in the constructors' standings last year. Sauber says the "long-term partnership ... has been further extended, with the ownership and management of Sauber remaining unchanged and independent." Alfa Romeo drivers won the first two F1 championships — Giuseppe "Nino" Farina in 1950 and Juan Manuel Fangio in 1951 — then left the series after 1985 until returning with Sauber. Related Video:

Abarth SP 1000 factory restomod entering very limited production

Mon, Jan 3 2022

In May 2021, Abarth created a one-off roadster to celebrate the brand's racing history, called the Alfa Romeo Abarth 1000. Based on the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, this was a factory-made callback to the 1966 Fiat Abarth 1000 Sport Prototipo, a highly successful competition car designed for gentlemen racers who wanted to do more than just show up, but who wanted to win. The UK's Auto Italia magazine tweeted that FCA Heritage chief Roberto Giolito said the carmaker would produce at least five customer units of the new Abarth 1000, with a price of around GBP170,000 each ($228,500 U.S.) Details beyond that must wait for the February issue of Auto Italia, due to hit newsstands on January 6 for UK readers.  If this happens, it could close the circle on what the 4C was originally meant to be. Legend says the idea for the carbon-tubbed 4C should have spawned a hardcore Fiat that channeled the 1966 Abarth 1000. However, since the 4C took many of its cues and much of its technology from the limited-edition Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, it stuck to being a halo sports car for Alfa Romeo and all other branchings got pruned. Giolito likely reveals more in the interview, seeing as he was head of Fiat and Abarth design from 2011 to 2015. The reboot suits the modern 4C save for the high, 21st-century shoulder line. The 1966 car's low pointy nose, curvy fenders and myriad vents and scoops fit great, and we also dig the exposed roll bar and cut-down rear cowls. For such an expensive restomod, we might have wished for some mechanical changes. It appears there's no change to the 4C's mechanicals, with a 1,742-cc turbocharged four-cylinder sending its 237 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. As such, this should probably be called the Abarth 1740 SP or 1700 SP rather than 1000, since the original was named after the displacement of the modified Fiat 600 engine it used. The original weighed 1,058 pounds dry and had 105 horsepower; the 2,465-pound production 4C won't feel as spry, but should perform a little better. Once British readers get the skinny from the magazine interview, we should know more.
