1986 Alfa Romeo Graduate

Here's a great older Alfa that's recently received a bunch of work. It's been with the same owner since 1991 and comes with full records (if you call I can give you a rundown of what's been done over the years. A lot!) The acceleration is spot on. Brakes work well, as does the transmission. The car just got a brand new windshield ($900) and new soft top ($1,500). The current owner is getting on in years and has decided he shouldn't drive it anymore so the car is now up for sale.


The interior has signs of wear, but nothing awful; just wear and tear on the seats, mainly. All gauges work as they should, as do all the lights. The car was repainted a few years back and is a decent job: not concours quality but still shiny and smooth. The tires still have tread, but the car really deserves better ones down the road as these were put on to match a budget rather than for performance. One hubcap shows minor damage near one of the lug nuts; possibly from the nut being stuck at some point. Beyond the new windshield and convertible top, the car recently was in the shop for minor repairs to the trunk and gas door releases and a few other minor issues. While there the car was checked out and the mechanic gave it a thumb's up. A top-end rebuild was done a number of years ago and the car runs well (we're happy to go through repair receipts with you, if you'd like). It passes smog testing and has no apparent mechanical issues that need to be addressed. 

We know it's very hard to get a feel for a car without seeing it in person, but we are willing to help determine condition however we can. We are more than happy to give a comprehensive rundown of the car's condition over the phone, as well as a live walk-around Q&A if you so desire. We are also available to take the car to the mechanic of your choice if you'd like an independent inspection (we would if we were buying a car online.) You are also welcome to speak with the mechanic who last worked on the car (He is well-versed, being a top-notch mechanic and coincidentally restoring an Alfa Spider himself).

High school design students sketch out FCA's 'ultimate status vehicle'

Tue, May 7 2019

Each year since 2013, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) hosts a design contest for high school students called Drive for Design intended to educate and encourage automotive career hopefuls. For 2019, FCA prompted 10th, 11th, and 12th graders to imagine the "ultimate status vehicle." The top three choices include two Alfa Romeos and a Maserati. FCA named first, second, and third places in the contest. Maximillian Cooper (lead image) from Design and Architecture Senior High in Miami won first place. Mason Ross (first inline image) from Kennedy Catholic High School in Burien, Wash., took second. Vincent Piaskowski (Maserati image) from Ernest W. Seaholm High School in Birmingham, Mich., placed third. The three winners of the contest will be awarded with numerous valuable prizes. They will get behind-the-scenes tours at the FCA U.S. Product Design studios, as well as mentoring time with some of FCA's designers. They will also get scholarships to attend the Precollege Summer Experience Transportation Design program at the College for Creative Studies. Lastly, they'll have the honor of serving as junior judges at the EyesOn Design Car Show. Although each sketch has a unique look, all three take the same approach: cab-forward, bubble-top supercar coupes with dramatic lines and curves. Piaskowski's shows direct inspiration from a shark, but we wouldn't be surprised if all three students have special places in their hearts for the Pininfarina Maserati Birdcage Concept.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio Luggage Test | How much cargo space?

Tue, Nov 12 2019

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is quite obviously more about Sport than Utility, especially the high-octane Quadrifoglio you see here resplendent in Alfa Rosso paint. Frankly, I wasn't expecting much from its luggage-hauling potential. After all, according to the specs, it has only 18.5 cubic-feet of space behind the raised back seat, which is quite simply terrible. That's the same as a Jeep Renegade, which is considerably smaller on the outside. Based on past luggage tests of SUVs with a comparable cargo number, there's no way all the bags from my garage will fit. In fact, there's a good chance multiple bags would be staying at home or riding on people's laps.  Well, let's put that assumption to the test.  Here's what the Stelvio has going for it. Sure looks a lot bigger than a Renegade. Actually, it looks bigger than the Range Rover Evoque, which has 21.5 cubic feet. As you can see, this particular Stelvio came equipped with a cargo rail system and net. Those clasps are easily removed by lifting up on the little handle and moving into that wider part of the track. Now, you'll note that the Stelvio has a cargo cover like virtually all SUVs, but this one is a little different in that it's in two pieces. A smaller one that rolls out from a cartridge aft of the back seat, and a semi-rigid piece that connects to the liftgate.  As always, I started off by keeping the cargo cover(s) in place when trying to stuff as much of my luggage as possible in the back. As a refresher, I use two mid-size roller suitcases that would need to be checked in at the airport (26 inches long, 16 wide, 11 deep), two roll-aboard suitcases that just barely fit in the overhead (24L x 15W x 10D), and one smaller roll-aboard that fits easily (23L x 15W x 10D). I also include my wife's fancy overnight bag just to spruce things up a bit (21L x 12W x 12D). As it turns out, the cover cartridge didn't impede loading at all. I'm guessing because the reel is smaller, but either way, this is a real benefit. It means you don't have to find someplace to store the damn cargo cover if you're picking someone up at the airport, for instance, and discover their bags are too big.  However, you'll note (maybe) that my wife's fancy bag is missing from this luggage Tetris ensemble. That's because it got caught on the rigid cargo cover attached to the tailgate when placed atop the bag on the right. OK, then, let's remove that. Basically, you just yank the thing out. Not too complicated.
