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. |

Alfa Romeo working on high-performance engines
Wed, Dec 17 2014During the big Fiat Chrysler Automobiles FCA US LLC announcement of its five-year plan earlier this year, the strategy for Alfa Romeo was easily summarized by brand boss Harald Wester: "Go back to the Alfa Romeo that people admired." Easier said than done. With the 4C as one step in that procedure, we might see the next when the company unveils its midsize sedan in June with a trio of new engines with up to 480 horsepower. Anonymous sources at suppliers are already making some big claims about the new mills to Automotive News Europe. The top of the heap is reportedly a 2.9-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 making up to 480 hp, based on the 3.0-liter engine in the Maserati Quattroporte and Ghibli. Below it is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that's claimed to produce between 180 hp and 330 hp for rear- or all-wheel drive applications. Finally, there's potentially a 2.2-liter turbo-diesel four with between 135 hp and 210 hp. Little has been officially announced about the midsize sedan, but it was possibly spied testing recently hidden under the body of a Ghibli. It was rumored to be rear-wheel drive with a size between the BMW 3 Series and 5 Series, and a high-performance GTA version was also speculated. According to ANE, the vehicle won't be called the Giulia and won't hit the market in the US until 2016. In addition to the midsize model's engines, FCA is also reportedly working on an updated version of its 3.0-liter diesel V6 sourced from VM Motori with new 275-hp and 340-hp versions. They are likely slated for Alfa's future large sedan and SUV.

Alfa Romeo 4C will be refreshed for the 2019 model year
Sun, Dec 10 2017Alfa Romeo Chief Technical Officer Roberto Fedeli said at a launch event for the Stelvio Quadrifoglio that an updated version of the 4C is coming next year as a 2019 model. "We are coming back to Formula 1," he said, "and we need the 4C to be our halo car," Fedeli told Autocar. But don't expect to see the refresh bring with it a manual transmission. No future high-performance models from Alfa, Maserati, or even Ferrari will be getting clutch pedals anytime soon, a decision reportedly made after Ferrari spent 10 million euros developing a manual gearbox for the California a few years back only to see exactly two customers choose the option over an automatic. We'd hazard a guess that Alfa will tone down its carbon-fiber 4C for the next generation. As fun as the little sportscar is on a race track, it's equally jarring to drive on regular roads. A revised suspension and perhaps power steering may be on the menu. Related Video:
Alfa Romeo 4C Spider lives to see 2020 and gets an Italia special edition
Thu, Feb 7 2019Alfa Romeo is launching a limited run of special-edition 4C Spider sports cars for the U.S. Called the 4C Spider Italia, only 15 of these cars will be built. Before you get up in arms about how exclusive and impossible to find this will be, consider Alfa 4C sales numbers. All of seven were sold in January, and 2018 saw 238 cars find owners. So, perhaps the limited numbers aren't that limiting. The 4C Spider Italia is essentially a $5,000 appearance package. It takes the standard 4C Spider (the coupe was discontinued in the U.S. last year) and then covers it in an exclusive blue paint called Misano Blue Metallic. Then, the front air intake and rear diffuser are finished in piano black. You also get a "4C Spider Italia" sticker for the side of the car that looks properly Italian. On the inside, there's an aluminum dashboard insert designating this car as the special edition model, and the center console has a plate with the exact number it is in the 15-car run. And that's it. Our brains most recently associate the "Italia" designation with Ferrari, but this package does nothing to bring it closer to the incredible 458's performance. You'll get the same 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque from the little turbocharged four-banger. Perhaps the best news out of this special edition car is that it's a 2020 model year. Alfa announced this car and confirmed the 4C Spider will continue at least through 2020. Even with the only option being a dual-clutch automatic transmission, the 4C is one of the most barebones, pure driving experiences you can get in a new car today. Its continued existence is only a good thing for us sports car enthusiasts. With the $5,000 tacked on to the base price, a 4C Spider Italia will run you $73,495, including destination charges. Alfa says orders for the special edition car will open up in the second quarter of 2019. Related video:
