1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider on 2040-cars

NO RESERVE

My grandfather bought this car (and a parts car...1963 Giulia) in 1980 when he retired. He tore the car apart and it sat until 2009.  The farm sold in 2009 and he had a little bit a money to put back into this project.  So, we started putting the car back together in 2009. 

Sadly, his health deteriorated quickly.  His final wish was to get a chance to drive this car again.  Unfortunately, he never got the chance to drive it.  But we were able to take him for a ride around the block several times.  After several strokes and due to growing medical bills and the inevitable hospice care that will be needed, we must let the car go. (I have several videos of him in car so that you can see and hear it running and driving)

The following is a description of the car as I know to be accurate.  I will not lie or falsify information just to sell the car.

The chasis is a 1961.  The engine came out of the parts car (1963) and thus has the 1600 in it.  We used the hood from the 1963 in order to clear the bigger engine.  Because we were rushed to put this car back together quickly, corners were cut.  Not going to lie about that.  However, one thing I'll stand behind is the body work.  The body work is fantastic.  Zero bondo in this car...everything was welded correctly and dents were pulled.  (I'll have more work in progress pictures for interested buyers) The paint is a nice driver....hardly show worthy. 

Mechanically, she won't win any prizes.  Master and wheel cylinders were rebuilt.  Engine was rebuilt...but I can't say one way or the other if it was done correctly. It has the 5 speed from the 1963.

All trim/chrome appears to be in decent shape.  There is the typical pitting that you would expect from a 50 year old car.  Bumpers are original and are painted. (Not re-chromed)

There is no heater box.

We have 2 tops for the car.  An original all steel hard top (Pictured) and the soft top.  The soft top has not been refurbished.  The frame appears to be in good condition.

The tires are 30 years old (Only 10 miles on them, however)  Grandpa bought tires in 1980.  I wouldn't put them on the highway if I were you.

The brakes are squishy.  I believe there is still a bit of air in the lines.

New exhaust with original manifold.

Some of the gauges don't work.

It has an original (almost perfect condition) wiring harness.  However, we have what appears to be a good voltage regulator but I have 2 extra. (I really have no idea what I'm doing with electric)

I strongly encourage you to call me before bidding to talk about the car.  (614-378-7508)


I am not shipping this car anywhere. If you want it, buy a ticket to Columbus Ohio.  I'll pick you up from the airport...we'll go look at the car.  If it's what you want, we'll do the deal.  I'll even drive you to a uhaul location to rent a trailer to start your journey home.

I will not accept paypal  or any other form of scam ridden payment options. Meet me in Columbus Ohio.  We can do a wire transfer or cash.  The winning bidder will be required to send me a $2000 earnest money deposit within 7 days. ( A check is fine for that)  


PLEASE CALL 614-378-7508 WITH ANY QUESTIONS!

Touring's Disco Volante makes us green with envy [w/video]

Tue, Mar 4 2014

In its entire production run, Alfa Romeo only ever built 500 examples of the 8C Competizione – just 90 of which ended up in the United States – and another 500 Spiders. That makes it a pretty rare car indeed, but it's positively commonplace compared to the Disco Volante, the version reborn by the talented and steady hands at Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera. In correspondece with Autoblog, Touring's CEO Piero Mancardi confirmed that the coachbuilder will only build eight examples of the Disco Volante, in colors chosen by their individual customers: one in black, one in blue, one in silver, the one in green you see here and the rest in different shades of red. That makes this particular example a one-of-a-kind work of art that we were privileged to behold here at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, and you can see what we saw through the camera lens in the high-resolution image gallery above, or by checking out the video below.

Alfa Romeo Giulia police cars will save lives

Fri, May 6 2016

Oh look, it's another Italian performance vehicle turned into a police car. Evildoers beware, right? Not exactly. As much as we'd love to picture an Alfa Romeo Giulia chasing down bank robbers through the streets of Milan this newest addition to the Italy's national police fleet will be used for less thrilling purposes. Instead of chasing down speeders, two copies of new Giulia Quadrifoglio will transport organs and blood for emergency medical use, as well as serve ceremonial escort cars. The police version here adds the usual cop goodies like radios and lights, a portable defibrillator, LED flashlights in the doors, and one of those round signaling flags that Italians seem to love. There no mention of a cop motor or cop brakes, but that's probably not necessary. 'The Quadrifolgio tops the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia lineup with a 505 hp twin-turbo V6 capable of 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. When it eventually goes on sale in the US later this year or early next year, prices will range from around $40,000 for the base model to $70,000 in Quadrifoglio trim.

Alfa Romeo's midsize sedan due in June, and we'll get it

Wed, Nov 26 2014

As the calendar shifts, so do Alfa Romeo's plans. At the LA Auto Show, Harald Wester, head of Alfa Romeo, said the brand would unveil its second US model – after the 4C – next June, but he wouldn't identify the type of car. A report in Automotive News Europe, quoting sources, says that it will be a midsize sedan in the mold of the erstwhile 159 (pictured) that was supposed to become the Giulia but now has a new brief and perhaps a new name. "Giulia" should be familiar because we've been hearing about it for more than three years – in fact it was 2011 when it was thrown back on the drawing board for a complete redesign. Last year the plan – or the anonymously-sourced bits of the plan that we kept getting – were for the platform to go rear-wheel drive and do duty for both a BMW 3 Series and 5 Series competitor. ANE's latest intel is that the coming midsize sedan will be come in between the 3 Series and 5 Series – a strategy used by the original Cadillac CTS – slotting in beneath a "flagship sedan" that would fit between the 5 Series and 7 Series. That would appear to contradict a direct challenge to the entry-level segment's standard-bearer, and perhaps the M3, too. Those two Alfa sedans would be part of an eight-model onslaught happening over the next four years, which is a new matrix compared to April of this year when that was reported to be six models over the next five years. ANE says work has started on three of them, a midsize SUV said to be the third. The push is to get Alfa to 400,000 annual sales – 100,000 more than the April target – with the US accounting for 150,000 of that. News Source: Automotive News Europe - sub. req.
