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!

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.

Sell your own: 1991 Alfa Romeo Spider

Mon, Jun 12 2017

Looking to sell your car? We make it both easy and free. Quickly create listings with up to six photos and reach millions of buyers. Log in and create your free listings. The relaunch of the Alfa Romeo franchise by FCA, while promising, is without the presence of Alfa's lovely Spider convertible. There is, of course, the mid-engine 4C Spider, but that's far more exotic and expensive. If you're looking for the charm of the original, at a more affordable price, you'll need to go back 20-plus years, when Alfa was last in America. What began as the boat-tailed Duetto in 1966, and evolved into the Kammback-profiled Spider around 1970, stayed in production with minimal changes through 1993. In 1983, U.S. bumper regulations began taking their visual toll, but that mod was minimized by the time this for-sale example was built. You won't find roadsters for under $15,000 with the charms of an Alfa Romeo. If it has a clean Carfax and credible pre-purchase inspection, this Spider could provide years of enjoyment. We doubt a '91 Spider will appreciate, but you can, well, still appreciate it. And it's in San Francisco, so make its purchase a vacation.

Mopar updates owner apps to make car ownership easier

Wed, Jun 3 2015

Owners of any Fiat Chrysler vehicle will want to head to the Apple App or Google Play store to download the latest version of their brand-specific smartphone app. Developed by Mopar, the new suite of FCA Owner apps specific to each brand pack a number of valuable features. For starters, the apps let owners access information like maintenance schedules, service history and recall notices. The apps also include an array of how-to information and instructional videos, offer push notification for important updates like maintenance offers and recall alerts, and allow customers to schedule test drives and receive quotes from their local dealers for new vehicles. But that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The FCA Owner apps also feature an augmented reality function that helps drivers identify instrument-panel icons. There's a Parking Reminder feature that helps drivers remember where they parked their car, guides them back to their parking spot and tracks the time left on the meter. Finally, there's an Accident Assistant feature that helps drivers record the specifics of an accident, upload insurance information and take photos of the scene. It'll even help find the closest certified collision repair facility, schedule an appointment and access roadside assistance. The apps are available for any Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Fiat or Alfa Romeo built from 2011 till today, and are available for either iOS or Android. If you've got more than one FCA vehicle in your garage, you needn't download multiple versions of the app as they'll work on any model the Italian-American automaker offers. Mopar Enhances FCA Owner Apps - Redesigned FCA Owner apps offer a wide range of VIN-specific information - Owners can access maintenance schedules, service history, recall notices and more - "Augmented reality" function, beginning with 2015 models, allows owners to use camera feature on mobile devices to scan and identify instrument panel icons - Industry-first Accident Assistant feature helps owners easily document important accident information and quickly locate a certified repair facility - Individual brand versions of the app support all FCA brand vehicles - FCA Owner apps are free to download for both iOS and Android mobile devices May 29, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Mopar brand has redesigned and enhanced its suite of FCA Owner apps, putting more resources than ever at owners' fingertips with easier access to vehicle and lifestyle information.
