Salvage 1984 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Great For Parts on 2040-cars
North Hollywood, California, United States
Condition:
I purchased this car in 2007 in Redwood City, CA with one previous owner. At that time I recored the radiator, got a new clutch, and replaced most of not all of the hoses. I also installed a porcelain exhaust manifold which replaced the original steel one. This gives the car better horsepower and distributes the heat away from the delicate aluminum engine much better than steel. I also repaired the brake system in 2007. The original owner got in an accident that slightly twisted the frame of the vehicle. This unfortunately messed with the car's suspension and alignment. When I purchased it I had my Alfa mechanic install adjustable trailing arm bushings which correct that problem completely. I got in a front-end collision in the Spring and I can't afford to repair her. I'm really bummed but my hours were drastically cut at work in 2013 and I can't afford to repair her. She's been sitting in my driveway being said and I have decided it's time to let somebody else take her away. The only things that this car needs to be running again is a front nose clip, a hood, a radiator, steering wheel and windshield. Besides that, this baby is in GREAT SHAPE. It only has 78k miles on the original engine! I bought her with only 27k miles on the original engine in 2007. Literally some little old lady drove this thing to church on sundays, there were NO MILES ON THINGS THING. I've put about 50k on the engine over 6 years Most recently I repaired the engine mount within the last 5k miles. I just got this baby smogged with a brand new muffler in March 2013. The tailpipe has been repaired as well. I also repaired the rear suspension mount and bought new tires about 3k miles ago. The interior is in fair condition. The seats need upholstery and drivers' interior door panel needs repairs. The drivers' side power window motor is weak. The canvas convertible top is original and in great condition with no tears or leaks, with only minor wear and tear from being 29 years old. This is a great car to fix up or to use to part out for your mid to late 80s Spider. The engine, transmission, and clutch are in great shape. There are 5 original alloy wheels (4 on the car, one is a spare). They are in great condition. It also comes with a CD/MP3 player with USB input and an external amp which powers 4 speakers. I MIGHT remove this before I sell it but contact me if you're interested and we can talk about it. Please contact me with any questions. I put my heart and soul into this car and know every inch of it. Here's a quick list to glance through: Original: Engine, transmission, wheels (5), convertible top, interior. Upgraded: Adjustable trailing arm bushings, porcelain exhaust manifold, modern hoses. Repaired: Rear suspension mount, engine mount, tailpipe New: Tires (approx 3k miles), muffler, brakes, clutch (approx 10k miles) battery replaced and under AAA warranty in 2010. |

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.
Are supercars becoming less special?
Thu, Sep 3 2015There's little doubt that we are currently enjoying the golden age of automotive performance. Dozens of different models on sale today make over 500 horsepower, and seven boast output in excess of 700 hp. Not long ago, that kind of capability was exclusive to supercars – vehicles whose rarity, performance focus, and requisite expense made them aspirational objects of desire to us mortals. But more than that, supercars have historically offered a unique driving experience, one which was bespoke to a particular model and could not be replicated elsewhere. But in recent years, even the low-volume players have been forced to find the efficiencies and economies of scale that formerly hadn't been a concern for them, and in turn the concept of the supercar as a unique entity unto itself is fading fast. The blame doesn't fall on one particular manufacturer nor a specific production technique. Instead, it's a confluence of different factors that are chipping away at the distinction of these vehicles. It's not all bad news – Lamborghini's platform sharing with Audi for the Gallardo and the R8 yielded a raging bull that was more reliable and easier to live with on a day-to-day basis, and as a result it went on to become the best-selling Lambo in the company's history. But it also came at the cost of some of the Italian's exclusivity when eerily familiar sights and sounds suddenly became available wearing an Audi badge. Even low-volume players have been forced to find economies of scale. Much of this comes out of necessity, of course. Aston Martin's recent deal with Mercedes-AMG points toward German hardware going under the hood and into the cabin of the upcoming DB11, and it's safe to assume that this was not a decision made lightly by the Brits, as the brand has built a reputation for the bespoke craftsmanship of its vehicles. There's little doubt that the DB11 will be a fine automobile, but the move does jeopardize some of the characteristic "specialness" that Astons are known for. Yet the world is certainly better off with new Aston Martins spliced with DNA from Mercedes-AMG rather than no new Astons at all, and the costs of developing cutting-edge drivetrains and user interfaces is a burden that's becoming increasingly difficult for smaller manufacturers to bear. Even Ferrari is poised to make some dramatic changes in the way it designs cars.
Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Giulia Quadrifoglio NRING editions celebrate lap records
Fri, Mar 2 2018Alfa Romeo will bring no less than six star cars to its Geneva Motor Show booth. Since records are not only meant to be broken, but celebrated, the Giulia Quadrifoglio NRING and Stelvio Quadrifoglio NRING limited editions were created to address the latter task. In September 2016, the Giulia Quadrifoglio broke the Nurburgring lap record for standard production four-door sedans with a time of 7:32 — a feat since bettered by the Jaguar XE SV Project 8. Last September, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio set a lap record of 7:32, displacing the Range Rover Sport SVR from the top of the timesheets. The two NRING specials come drenched in exclusive Circuito Grey paint, accented with carbon mirror caps and a CF front badge, on top of carbon ceramic brakes. The cabin's so dark you'll need to let your eyes adjust before picking out the Sparco racing seats with carbon shells, carbon accents on the steering wheel and shift knob, and the red stitching. Both sedan and SUV come optioned with Alfa Connect with 3D Nav infotainment, Harman Kardon premium audio, active cruise control, and tinted windows. The Giulia gets a naked carbon roof. The Italian carmaker's only making 108 of each NRING model, in honor of how long the company's been in business. Throughout that time, Alfa Romeo has stamped its mark on The Green Hell, such as when Tazio Nuvolari won the 1932 German Grand Prix in an 8C 2300 Tipo Monza ahead of his German competition, or in 1966 when a Giulia Sprint GTA was the first GT road car to make it round the 'Ring in under 10 minutes. These Geneva-bound special editions will be reserved "for collectors and the most loyal Alfa Romeo customers." A numbered badge in a carbon fiber dashboard insert will identify the owner's place in line. Two more special editions, also held to 108 examples, come in the guises of a 4C Competizione and a 4C Spider Italia. The 4C Competizione comes in matte Vesuvio Grey with a carbon roof, plus extra carbon splashed around on the headlight molding, mirror caps, side air vents, and rear spoiler. Microfiber covers the steering wheel and seats, red stitching makes it pop, dark-finish wheels provide the stance. The 4C Spider Italia wears Misano Blue paint adorned with the Italian Tricolore, yellow brake calipers, yellow stitching in the cabin to match. If that isn't loud enough, the premium Alpine audio with subwoofer can get you turned up further.
