I'm selling my 1987 Alfa Quad. If you're looking at this, you know what it is, so I don't have to get into it. Car runs and drives perfect. Smogged this past weekend. Passed with flying colors. Car sat for many years when it belonged to previous owner. Lucky for me, that only put the car at 71,500 miles! I bought the car as a non-runner. Recent work includes, clutch flex hose, clutch slave cylinder, "Lifetime guaranteed" clutch pivot shaft replacement, ignition wires, plugs, mobil 1 oil, Ate blue brake fluid in the clutch system, new gas door cable. Just averaged 28 mpg on a trip to Palm Springs.
The car does have a couple quirks, naturally, it is an Alfa. The passenger window is intermittent. Of course, with a tap on the door, it will work. The passenger door card needs a few retaining clips. The previous owner had a respray done on the car at some point. Whoever did it didn't do a color or wet sand. There are some clear coat drip marks that need to be taken care of. Also, due to the car sitting for so long, the ground effects on the side have pulled off the car. I bought the proper 3M double sided tape to hold it on, just haven't gotten around to cleaning and installing it. The tape comes with the car. The antenna needs to be replaced. It likely needs a new cloth top. I have yet to remove the hardtop. Gas gauge doesn't give a level, however the light comes on when gas is low.
The car obviously comes with the factory hard top (there are two minor chips in the paint) otherwise it's perfect. This car also has the black leather tonneau cover that buttons down once the convertible top is down. It is in perfect shape with the Alfa red stitching.
Original owners manual, two sets of keys, car disc CD with repair manual, Clean title. Buying a home forces sale, but I'm going to keep my Milano Verde!
The seats are the best part of the car. Original seats in almost perfect condition. There are two small holes next to the driver's seat folding lever. (can be seen in pics) I'm sure it can be repaired cheap. Seats/tonneau cover have been treated with Leatherique conditioner.
Local individuals can contact me for any additional information or to setup a time to see/drive the car. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction if vehicle sells.
If you'd like any specific photographs, please let me know and I'll be happy to take them.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
Marchionne to make Alfa Romeo a separate company within Fiat
Mon, 28 Apr 2014According to a report in Automotive News that quotes "people familiar with the matter," the next big play in Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne's plan for Alfa Romeo is to break it off from Fiat Group Automobiles and set it up as a separate company within the Fiat empire, giving it the same structure as Ferrari and Maserati. The idea, say the sources, is that a transparent, standalone Alfa Romeo that has to justify its every move could clearly prove its success in the public financial statements it would have to report, finally achieving Marchionne's aim of making Alfa Romeo "a credible business proposition."
That, of course, assumes that Alfa Romeo will make a success of it. The brand hasn't made a profit in any year of Marchionne's decade at the helm; sales last year fell to numbers not seen in almost half a century and its new product offensive might not include the two vehicles currently responsible for 99 percent of its sales. We're told that the brand's six new models will begin arriving in 2016 - a roadster, a midsize sedan and large sedan, a compact SUV and large SUV, and a large coupe.
Marchionne aims to expand Alfa's global appeal in several ways, the first by stressing that they are Italian products that 'belong' to Italy. This is the stance that appears to have put the kibosh on the roadster twinned with the coming Mazda MX-5/Miata. Alfa Romeos will all be made in their home country, and if they take off they'll help bandage Fiat's problem with underused plant capacity, a bugbear that is just as problematic culturally and politically as financially. Top-tier trims would use V6 engines developed by Ferrari, and global access would get a boost by selling Alfa Romeos in Jeep's 1,700 international dealerships.
