88 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce No Reserve on 2040-cars
Naples, Florida, United States
|
I bought this car a little over 2 years ago with 114,000 miles and it has been my daily driver since and now shows 140,000 miles. A couple of weeks ago in my infinite wisdom I added a can of fuel injector cleaner to the fuel system and now the car has an intermittent miss. I'll be running along smoothly and out of nowhere it will miss, sometimes it will clear and everything will be fine, and sometimes it will give me fits until it clears up. My problem is that I no longer have a garage, or a place to properly attend to the car. I believe the problem is fuel supply ( I changed the fuel filter, didn't help), and thinking that some particles from the fuel line has partially pluged an injector, or carbon is trying to clean out the valves and the pistons and this is causing the miss. The only other possibilities I can think of is that I put an aftermarket catalytic converter on last year and its starting to clog, or perhaps I have a vacumn leak (original vacumn hoses). In any case I can't afford to have a shop look at the car, and I don't trust and shop that doesn't know their way around Alfas. So if you're out there and still interested at the starting bid, here are some more details about the car.
The body is in very good shape except for some bondo work around the rockers. I painted the car myself last year (first time) and its OK, but could use a repaint if you're a perfectionest. The leather interior is good with two small holes forming in the drivers seat from daily use. Typical two cracks on the dash alonf the vents.. The speedodometer does not read true, and neither does the volt guage (although the alternator is puting out 13 1/2 volts when checked at the batter). The air conditioner is original and needs to be upgraded, power mirrors do not function. New Falcon 195/65 tires last year, new top this year. One of the trunk spring retainers is bent, so I use a brace to keep the trunk open. In general the interior is in good shape considering its daily use. The car is complete,by that I mean no missing parts and all else is working fine. I'm still driving the car, and by the time the car is sold the problem may be solved. Regardless, I'm still selling as I can't give the car the attention it needs. Note: I have car for sale locally and reserve the right to end auction early. |

Alfa Romeo reportedly developing a Giulia-based coupe
Thu, Apr 5 2018Much like classic, rear-wheel-drive Alfa Romeo sedans, the Giulia might gain a coupe counterpart. The possible Alfa Romeo coupe wouldn't just be a cruiser, as it's rumored to get a fantastical-sounding 641 horsepower output. British Autocar's sources say Alfa Romeo is developing a coupe based on the Giulia, with the front end carried over and a coupe body designed from that point back. Autocar says the coupe could be unveiled this year and hit the market in 2019. Alfa Romeo sold some 8,900 Giulias last year in the United States, and the coupe could function as a halo car. As for the powertrain, the standard version would utilize the Giulia's two-liter turbo engine good for 197 and 276 horsepower in various guises, but the absolute big deal would be the 2.9 turbo V6, which would gain an F1-style energy recovery system to boost the power to near-Ferrari levels. As in 641 horsepower, which is hundreds more than possible competitors from BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz have. The non-ERS, 500 hp version could also be available. Sources say a name for the coupe could be Sprint, which certainly carries a cachet, but as Autocar notes, "GTV" would correspond to Alfa Romeo's RWD history a little better — take for example the 1970s Alfetta and Alfetta GTV sedan-coupe combination. Sprint, on the other hand, was a front-wheel-drive coupe based on Alfasud hatchback mechanicals.

Alfa Romeo Giulia is the sexiest starlet in LA
Wed, Nov 18 2015Generally, there's a fair amount of debate about what the best-looking car at any given auto show may be. We, however, humbly submit that for the 2015 LA Auto Show, there's no point in arguing – it's the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Here on US soil for the first time, the troubled Italian brand unveiled the stunning sedan that will herald Alfa Romeo's long-awaited return to the North American market. The handsome red four-door is more or less what we've seen before. That means a thundering 2.9-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 that develops 505 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. No matter where you're from, that qualifies as "a lot." But unlike the Alfa we saw in Milan, there's more to talk about than the top-flight Quadrifoglio model. Alfa let slip that following the fire-breather's arrival, the sedan would also get a more modest 2.0-liter turbo, capable of producing 276 horsepower. Following that, all-wheel drive will join the options list alongside standard rear-wheel drive. We've got a fresh batch of live images of the stylish Italian. Have a look, and then scroll down for a refresher on Alfa's original press release.
