1986 ALFA ROMEO SPIDER VELOCE IN EXCELLENT COSMETIC AND MECHANICAL CONDITION WITH LOW MILEAGE AND AIR CONDITIONING!!!


I am the second owner of this vehicle.  I purchased this car from a dealership in New Hampshire who acquired it as a trade-in from the original owner.  The original owner was a long-time client of the dealership and he took excellent care of this fine Italian sports car. The car was always kept covered and in a climate controlled garage, and only used during warm weather season. It was never driven in snow or ice. The original owner kept records of maintenance and all of those records will accompany the car.  This Alfa only had 36,000 miles when I bought it about 1.5 years ago, and now only has 42,025 miles.  I drove it home from New Hampshire to Alabama when I bought it and had absolutely no problems.  The a/c works great and kept me cool the entire trip which was in August.  Since I got the car, I have kept it in a covered carport with a car cover on it and a tarp over the cover.  The car cover came with the car and will also go with the new owner.  It also has a separate cover that protects the top and goes underneath the car cover (see pictures.)  This car has the original leather seats (with new foam inserts), original paint, original carpet, and original floor mats, all in excellent condition.  The new convertible top was professionally installed and looks and functions great. All electronics and electrical systems work as they should, including the power side mirrors, power windows and interior and exterior lights.  The body is rust free.  The car has a tonneau cover which is in perfect condition.  There is a small scratch in the front bumper and a tiny, superficial chip in the windshield which is not noticeable when driving (see pictures.) It has a clear Alabama title, and I am the current owner with no liens.

The following repairs were made to the car within 1.5 years prior to my purchase of it:

-Head gasket replaced and valve job with timing adjustment
-Air conditioner coolant system replaced with 134-A coolant
-Bumpers refinished
-All four coil springs replaced with raicing-type springs (from International Auto Parts)
-Frame stiffener installed (from International Auto Parts)
-AC and alternator belts replaced
-Radiator hose kit replaced
-Rear straight exhaust pipe installed
-Windshield washer bottle and motor replaced
-Complete brake job
-Replaced worn tie rod end
-Repaired drivers side electric mirror
-Complete lube and oil service
-Replaced front and rear shocks
-Replaced both lower ball joints
-Replaced upper control arm
-Tire alignment
-Replaced engine mounts
-Installed nickel-plated exhaust header (from International Auto Parts)
-Replaced brake hoses to all 4 wheels
-Replaced pinion shaft oil seal
-Replaced transmission mount
-NEW CONVERTIBLE TOP INSTALLED
-Replaced foam in seat bottoms 
-Serviced and adjusted electric windows
-New tires - Michelin Harmony (still like new)

The only service it has needed since I got it was a wheel balancing.  The car is due for an oil and filter change, but I will leave that for the new owner. I replaced all the air/vacuum hoses in the fuel injection control and evaporative emission control systems with silicone hoses using a kit supplied by Greg Gordon at Hi Performance Store (you can find information about why this is important on these 20+ year old cars by doing a google search for his website.) The car does not leak any oil.

I did have a new stereo professionally installed with new speakers that fit in the existing speaker grills.  The Kenwood stereo has HD radio, CD player, USB connection, and a remote.  The speakers are Memphis Audio.

I have truly enjoyed this car. It is fun to drive, handles great, runs perfectly, and turns heads everywhere I go. I am selling it because I just do not use it often and so I would rather have the money to put towards investing for my retirement.  Whoever gets this car is going to be very happy with it.  The only things I would have replaced if I was going to keep the car are the door seals, but purely for cosmetic reason, they work just fine the way they are.

Good luck and happy bidding.

Fiat Chrysler's Q3 profit boosted by strong North American earnings

Tue, Oct 24 2017

MILAN, Italy — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) reported a 17 percent jump in third-quarter adjusted operating profit on Tuesday, helped by a strong performance in its key North American market and improving operations in Europe and Latin America. The world's seventh-largest carmaker still makes the lion's share of its profits in North America, so improving, or at least maintaining, its margins there is a key focus. The carmaker reported an 8 percent adjusted operating profit margin in the region, up from 7.6 percent a year ago, despite a drop in sales and shipments. "FCA's profitability in North America remained strong in the quarter despite a weakening market there," a Milan-based analyst said. FCA's profitability compares with an 8.3 percent North America margin reached in the quarter by bigger U.S. rival GM , showing CEO Sergio Marchionne making progress towards his goal of closing the margin gap with GM and the company's other U.S. rival, Ford, by 2018. The company's confirmation of its full-year outlook also pushed shares higher, a trader added. The stock was up 2.8 percent by 1129 GMT, outperforming a 1 percent rise in the European auto index. FCA has been retooling some U.S. factories to boost output of sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) and trucks while ending production of some unprofitable sedans to strengthen profitability as the U.S. car market comes off its peak. The company said a drop in North America shipments due to lower fleet sales and discontinued models was partially offset by higher deliveries of Ram trucks and two models from the Alfa Romeo stable: the Stelvio sport utility vehicle and Giulia sedan. Profitability also improved in Europe, helped by sales of the Stelvio and the new Jeep Compass, and Latin America, while margins at Maserati remained strong at 13.8 percent due to strong demand for its first SUV, the Levante. In a later conference call, investors are looking for hints on the new strategy to 2022 which the company promised to unveil early next year. Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne said earlier this year that FCA would streamline its portfolio and that components businesses, including Magneti Marelli, would be separated from the group, possibly via a spin-off. While FCA confirmed its targets this year, doubts remain about its exposure to a weakening U.S. market, recall costs and potential fines over emissions after it was targeted by European and U.S.

Only best-performing US Fiat dealers to get Alfa Romeo franchises

Mon, Feb 24 2014

Alfa Romeo has been rumored to return to the US market so many times for so many years, it's hard to keep count. This time, though, Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne promises that it's for real. Alfa is scheduled to reappear in the States this summer with its 4C sports coupe as its introductory model. However, buyers won't be able to pop into just any Fiat showroom and leave with a 4C – it's planning to only sell Alfas at its best-performing dealers, according to The Detroit News. In fact, the first 4Cs sold here won't be sold at Fiat dealers at all. Instead the first shipment of cars in June will go to Maserati dealers, not unlike the handful of Alfa 8C Competizione coupe and convertible models that trickled in starting in 2008. According to Fiat Chrysler spokesperson Rick Deneau, the company is still deciding which Fiat retailers will participate in Alfa's reentry. Many of Fiat's US dealers are apparently not happy with the meritocracy approach. They built Fiat showrooms partially on the promise that Alfa would enter the US market in 2012, then 2013, and now later this year. Even worse for them, the prospects for more mainstream Alfa Romeo models in the US are still questionable. This isn't the first time that we've heard that Fiat plans to keep Alfa Romeo exclusive in the US. Still, Fiat only plans to export about a 1,000 4C sports coupes a year here. If Alfa wants to be a legitimate player in America and be a money-making concern globally, it will need far more sales than that.

Marchionne threatens to move Alfa production out of Italy

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne was unsurprisingly frank when asked by reporters about potential investments in Italian manufacturing for Alfa Romeo and Maserati, giving the Italian government the ultimatum, "Italy should decide if they want [Alfa Romeo's relaunch] to happen here or not as Fiat and Chrysler have several alternatives." Them's fightin' words.
Fiat's issue with the government stems directly from its courtroom clashes with the Fiom labor union. The two are currently embroiled in proceedings over longer shifts and shorter breaks, as Fiom has so far refused to sign a new contract citing revised labor laws that it says are anti-union.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat will be spending over $2.5 billion on development of eight new Alfas and six new Maseratis, in a bid to wrest some of the luxury pie away from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. But that's only going to happen if the government is willing to play ball and make life easier on Fiat.
