Please give the photos time to load as they accurately portray the condition of the car. Car is being sold with NO RESERVE! Bid to own. If you have less than 5 feedbacks or negative feedback, please contact me before bidding so I know that you are a serious buyer and understand the terms of this auction. Up for auction is my 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce with 88k original miles. This car has a soul that a true Alfisti would appreciate. This is my fifth Spider and this one drives as well as any of them ever did. I bought it last winter and have done alot of small repairs and maintenance since then to improve the car. If you are looking for an inexpensive classic fun summer car that can be driven and enjoyed today, then this is your car. If you are looking for a garage queen or potential concours car, please pass on this one. This is more of a "carport" queen. A properly restored example would easily bring $15k so this will be a bargain for someone at no reserve! The best part about this car is the way that it drives. The engine is very quiet and tight. No exhaust leaks, no funny noises. Once warmed up, the engine just sings as you go through the gears. The clutch is excellent and the synchronizers are better than they usually are. If you know how to drive these cars and shift smoothly, there will be no grinding. Drive it like a Nissan and you will have problems. Brakes, steering and suspension all feel good. Tires have less than 3000 miles on them. The paint has many scratches, chips, cracks, checking, touch-ups, etc. A picky person might want to paint it. But some might enjoy the patina and worry less when they park. But it is The interior is all original and in good shape for its age. I soaked the leather seats in mink oil for three days to help preserve them. The driver's seat has a couple of cracks in the bottom and a small hole in the vinyl bottom side panel. The passenger seat has a couple of cracks in the bottom. Dashboard has no cracks. All instruments work, dash lights do not( I have not checked this out, could be simple). Carpets are in nice shape. Vent window locks are not on. I have the right one, can get the left on ebay for about $25. Power windows work fine but at a snail's pace. Car has AC, it's all there and the compressor is free but it doesn't work. Ashtray is missing. Has Blaupunkt CD player that works fine through one speaker. There is a full size spare and factory jack with tool pouch. The previous owner did regular repairs and maintenance over a 11 year period, but only drove it about 2,000 miles during that time. I have a stack of records. I also installed a new Kirkland battery about a month ago. I know many will ask, "Can I drive this car home to _________? That depends on your experience and abilities. Personally, I could get in the car now and drive to Florida and I would probably make it without any serious incident. But I have alot of experience with this type of thing. Mechanically, this car seems really solid and should be fine with judicious driving and a watchful eye. But please remember the car is 28 years old, so if you are not comfortable with the idea of (mis)adventure on the road then I would be happy to help arrange shipping. I have the clean California title signed by the previous owner. The registration expired 1-3-14. I am selling the car as is and the buyer will be responsible for any tax, tag, title or smog fees. Car did pass its last smog check. That being said, to encourage bidders who are paying cash and are from California, I will refund $100 to help offset these costs.

Coming Alfa Romeo large CUV to be an electric Italian Dodge Durango?
Fri, May 31 2024In the middle of 2022, Alfa Romeo boss Jean-Philippe Imparato told Reuters the Italian carmaker would develop a new battery-electric vehicle in the U.S. that would launch here in 2027. Created for markets that prize large SUVs, he said, "Our offer for a large size vehicle must fit international markets, American, Chinese, European." At the time, he cast doubt on whether the model would be as large as a BMW X5 (195 inches x 78.9 inches), and suggested it could combine crossover and sedan form factors. Imparato wouldn't be drawn on the production site for this new vehicle, but Reuters believed it probably won't be built in the U.S. Six months later, in January of last year, Imparato shared a few specs of the coming EV SUV with Automotive News Europe, by then called a "high-performance SUV" with motors putting out from 300 to 800 horsepower in the standard range and around 1,000 horsepower in a Quadrifoglio trim, and an 800-volt architecture would enable "recharging times of 18 minutes max." At this point, this SUV had also officially become a competitor to the X5, the BMW almost exactly 10 inches longer than the Stelvio (pictured), which is currently the largest product in the Alfa Romeo portfolio and the best-seller in the U.S. What had stayed constant was the potential of a tweener shape, Imparato having said that aerodynamic needs could lead to a shape between a sedan and a crossover. With all that said, a post in a forum on of Spain's Cochespias (via Mopar Insiders) pinpoints the production site for the Alfa: The Detroit Assembly Complex - Jefferson plant in Detroit that builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The information comes from what appears to be a clip from a spreadsheet identifying current and future assembly sites and annual production figures. A line for the "E-CUV EV," this E-segment Alfa Romeo, refers to the assembly complex by its previous name, Jefferson North. The next-generation Grand Cherokee and Durango will sit on Stellantis' STLA Large platform, same as this flagship Alfa Romeo. The Grand Cherokee enters production at Detroit Assembly in 2026, the Durango in 2027. The spreadsheet shows production projections for the Alfa variant of 1,961 units for 2027, 10,715 units for 2028. The next-gen Giulia and Stelvio, also on the STLA Large platform, are going to be built in the company's Cassino, Italy plant, so they can keep their geographical references.
6 luxury car brands to watch in 2024
Tue, Jan 30 20242023 was a healthy year for the auto industry, and even with incentives returning and dealer lots filling up, there's plenty to like about the market if you build luxury automobiles, and we expect 2024 to be more of the same, which makes luxury-segment rivalries all the more interesting. Top luxury car brand rivalries? Well, that sounds downright uncivilized. But we know better, don't we? And when every quarterly sales update is an opportunity to remind somebody else that they bought the wrong status symbol, well, who can resist? Certainly not the diehard customers who fly their favorite brands' banners high. Read more: Auto sales: Industry records best year since 2019 Read more: 2023 auto sales and 2024 preview: Ford Bronco vs. Jeep Wrangler This is a tricky segment to define, but essentially, we're looking at luxury car brands with depth to their portfolios and dealerships that exist to attract real-world customers. The Bentleys, Rolls-Royces and McLarens of the world are luxury cars, certainly, but we're more concerned with brands that have a bit more mass appeal — manufacturers who treat supply constraints as fiascos rather than features. If you disagree with our selections, feel free to let us know in the comments. And since we're mostly concerned with finishing order, the luxury brands and totals featured here may change as new data come in throughout 2024. Due to the wild swings of the past several years, we're treating 2023 as the baseline by which we'll measure sales performance. And rather than rank brands vs. their finishing order in 2022, when supply-chain and inflationary issues still played havoc with sales figures, we're starting 2024 off with a clean slate. The mainstream luxury segment is always a dogfight, but with their varied approaches to electrification all of the major luxury brands are in the midst of reshaping the premium landscape. Who is doing it right? Well, according to U.S. shoppers, the usual suspects are up to their old tricks.
Alfa Romeo Giulia SWB Zagato revealed as a glorious green one-off coupe
Tue, Dec 20 2022Christmas came a few days early for one lucky enthusiast in Germany. Italian design house Zagato unveiled a one-off, carbon fiber-bodied coupe called Alfa Romeo Giulia SWB Zagato that features a twin-turbocharged V6 and that was commissioned by a German collector. Zagato explained that it launched the project to celebrate 100 years of collaborating with Alfa Romeo, the current-generation Giulia and the V6 engine. It started by shortening the Giorgio platform that the Giulia and Stelvio are both built on. It then drew a head-turning coupe that borrows a handful of styling cues from several past and present Alfa models. The front end is dominated by air intakes (including one shaped like the Alfa grille) and it features a pair of Tonale-like LED headlights. The coupe's profile is characterized by a long hood, a short rear end and a carbon fiber double-bubble roof panel left unpainted, while the back end gets a thin, curved light bar and a massive air diffuser. While several cars inspired designers, including the 1989 SZ that Zagato helped design, the Giulia SWB isn't full-on retro or old-school in any way. It features carbon fiber body panels and it's powered by an evolution of the 2.9-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 engine fitted to the Giulia Quadrifoglio that's been updated to GTAm specifications. Technical specifications weren't released, but the GTAm's six is tuned to develop 540 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Starting with the Quadrifoglio's engine gave Zagato a big advantage: the V6 spins the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. The limited-edition GTAm is exclusively offered with an eight-speed automatic transmission. From the driver's perspective, the cabin is mostly standard Giulia fare; you'll find the same steering wheel, touchscreen, air vents and climate control interface in the same locations as in the Giulia. Green accents and several model-specific carbon fiber trim pieces help the SWB stand out from the sedan it's based on, and a major difference between the two cars is that the coupe is fitted with only two seats. Zagato delivered the Giulia SWB to its new owner after shooting the photos you see in our gallery on the La Pista race track located near Alfa Romeo's hometown of Milan, Italy. There's no word on who owns it yet; all we know is that the coupe will join what sounds like a massive collection of high-end cars that includes an 8C Competizione, a 1990 SZ, plus a handful of Zagato-bodied Aston Martin models.
