1970 Fiat 850 Sport Spyder on 2040-cars

You are bidding on a 1970 Fiat 850 Spyder. EBay Listings for the Fiat 850 Spyder have become scarce over the last few years and should continue to decline as restorable examples have been bought up. These cars are pure fun to throw into turns, dip into the throttle, and push near the edge of tire grip. It's unusual coil spring independent rear suspension and single leaf spring front end combined with the rear engine, rear wheel drive work great together. My preference is top down during the day in the winter, top down at night in the summer, right and left handers in any season. I've owned the car for 10 years after purchasing it on the West Coast. I have done almost nothing to the body or interior other than cleaning and minor repairs. The convertible top is new and, just like the car, has lived it's entire stationary life during my ownership in my garage. All the glass is perfect. The door hinges have been rebuilt. EVERY light, small or large works, and all the gauges work. Wipers, courtesy lights, horn, dimmer, hi-low switch, idiot lights, heater motor high and low, and the cigarette lighter all work. Door locks work, windows crank properly, and that is an NOS Vitaloni mirror on the driver's side. It has three new tires (don't ask) and a spare along with the original Fiat tool kit. The list of things done to mechanicals is extensive and includes:
Addition of the under car cooler was needed to drive in our toasty 95 degree summers. Negative items: There is one baseball size area of rust directly behind the gas pedal and some rust around the master cylinder. This is the result of someone spilling brake fluid around the master, which then ran down a drain hole into a flexible drain hose, ate through the drain hose (NOS hose has replaced it) and fell on the floor board. The rust around the master has been treated, I will leave it to the next owner to fix the floor board. The seams on the seats are starting to come apart so it is time for some repair. Otherwise the seats show little wear. The floor liner has seen better days. These can be purchased as a kit or replaced with carpets. Please note that the vehicle is sold as is, where is, without any warranty. I have tried to be thorough describing the vehicle as possible. I am happy to answer questions. A $500 pay pal deposit is required within two days by the winning bidder. The balance must be paid in 5 days by cash or by certified bank check and shipping will not commence until my bank has verified non returnable receipt of the funds. Buyer is responsible for shipping but I will assist in any way I can. |

The troubled Alfa Romeo Giulia needs serious help [UPDATE]
Wed, Feb 10 2016UPDATE: An Alfa Romeo US spokesman responded to this article with the following statement: The safety concerns expressed in the story are false. The all-new 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia is designed and engineered to meet or exceed all federal safety regulations. The Alfa Romeo Giulia will begin production for the North American market in the late second-quarter of this year. Alfa Romeo will have a full product portfolio of premium vehicles that includes plans for (8) all-new Alfa Romeo vehicles by 2020. The product launches are prioritized by segment volumes starting this year with the Alfa Romeo Giulia production for North America starting in late Q2, followed by the Midsize-UV – the 2nd largest premium segment in North America. Even on the day you dragged them kicking and screaming and gesticulating wildly to a table full of concrete evidence, Alfa Romeo executives will never admit the Giulia program is going through a tough patch. But it is. Reports say the Giulia, on the eve of production, didn't just fail one internal crash test, but failed the front, side and rear impact tests. Alfa denies it. Automotive News published a report last week saying two suppliers had insisted the Giulia, on the eve of production, didn't just fail one internal crash test, but failed the front-, side-, and rear-impact tests. A third supplier source told us the same thing. Alfa is denying it. It was due on sale in Europe late last year and was supposed to be here in the next month or two. But it wasn't, and it won't. It was to be headlined by a twin-turbo V6 that reportedly howled its way around the Nurburgring 14 seconds faster than the BMW M3 could manage. That second part is only true if you believe it's fair to compare a full lap in a standard BMW M3 with a favorable accumulation of sector times to a development prototype Giulia with 220 pounds stripped out of it and rolling on hand-cut racing slicks. No, me neither. A Promising Start The Giulia's all-new architecture was developed in just two years by a skunkworks of young engineers headed by Fiat's engineering prince, Philippe Krief, and (bafflingly) sited inside Maserati's headquarters complex in Modena, about three hours from Alfa Romeo's own Turin HQ.
No surprise here, the Maserati Alfieri has been delayed again
Wed, Oct 19 2016It happened again. Maserati has reportedly delay the gorgeous Alfieri coupe, the concept version of which made its debut way back at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. According to a report by Autocar, the 2+2 sports car has been put on the back-burner and is now expected to arrive in 2020 – at the earliest. Giulio Pastore, general manager of Maserati Europe, told Autocar that the Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio are more vital to the automaker's lineup than the smaller Alfieri. Once Maserati replaces those aging models, it will then shift its focus onto the Alfieri, Pastore says. After the Alfieri concept was unveiled in 2014, reports emerged that it got the green light for production and that a production model would hit the road as soon as 2016. Then the delays started happening, with China's weakening car market as the culprit. More recently, a report claimed that Maserati would have the Alfieri on the road in 2018. With that now pushed back a few years, and the chance for more delays, the car might need a redesign before it goes into production.

Ferrari-Maserati dealer folds in Las Vegas casino
Thu, Oct 22 2015The ten-year-old Penske Ferrari Maserati dealership located inside the Wynn resort in Las Vegas, where non-Ferrari owners had to pay $10 to walk among the cars, is closed. Word is that the Ferrari franchise is moving to Towbin Motorcars, which you'll know for being the home of the former "King of Cars," and more recently where Floyd "Money" Mayweather has bought 100 cars, including three Bugatti Veyrons. According to Ferrari Chat almost the entire Penske-Wynn staff will make the move, including the highly regarded service department. This being Las Vegas there are, naturally, various theories about why the only Ferrari franchise in the state of Nevada is leaving one of the state's marquee locations. We got a tip a month ago from reader Johnny Autos that Ferrari pulled the franchise, and if there is any truth to that, rumors at Ferrari Chat suggest it part of the reason could have been Steve Wynn flipping his LaFerrari before the 18-month no-sale period had elapsed. Wynn supposedly sold his $1.5 million supercar to Naples Motorsports in Florida for $3.5 million, Naples is asking $5 million for it and using it for the elementary school run in the meantime. On the other hand, Vegas Tripping says Wynn is letting the dealership go in order to get ready for the Alon – another casino – to open across the street in three years. That story believes Wynn will build a pedestrian bridge and rearrange shops on the Wynn side so that customers enjoy the kind of grand entry he would want. And then there's the theory that Penske is getting out of the Ferrari dealership business to focus on commercial trucks. No matter where the truth is in all of this, what matters to you is that you won't be able to spend $10 to check out Ferraris on the strip anymore. Which means more money for the penny slots.
