1991 Alfa Romeo 164L Automatic

Had this car for quite a while, never let me down. Great for parts, but not beyond getting back on the road with a little effort.

Excellent running V6 non-turbo, recent plugs and cables. Transmission shifts silently and exactly when it should. Gas mileage is pretty good too. This model was made when the Italian manufacturers were trying to make up for their reputation for rusting by galvanizing all body parts. No body rust except on hood near grill and on the tip of the driver’s side front fender where the garage said “we don’t know how it got there.” All doors still have their matching VIN tags with no dings.

Full disclosure:

Unfortunately Alfa/Lancia was not that diligent when it came to the unseen parts. There is a rust issue where the right rear control rod attaches to the rear sub-frame. The sub-frame is attached with 4 bolts making it easy for replacement or re-enforcement. Nothing has detached and it has been driven locally, but highway operation would be pushing it even though there are 3 other attachment points for the knuckle.

The exhaust system is very recent, but there is a leak near the manifold.

The climate control system works as intended for heating, but the A/C doesn’t blow cold.

The radio, sunroof, work as intended.

The leather is good except where the stitching came loose on the driver’s seat.

Gas tank needs small patch near filler neck.

Clear coat coming away in spots (not as bad as in picture, as they were taken just after the snow melted).

Thank you for looking

Fiat set to invest $12B on new models, stop Euro losses in 3 years

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Naturally, you'd expect a massive automaker like Fiat to have an in-depth plan to exit the current European-market doldrums, and you'd expect that plan to include plenty of new vehicles to attract those precious buyers that still remain despite the financial downturn. And you'd be right, though Fiat does seem to have a few unexpected twists up its corporate sleeve.
Perhaps the biggest shocker is a report that Fiat will completely drop the Punto, a car with mass-market appeal aimed at small-car buyers cross-shopping the popular Volkswagen Polo. Its replacement will be a five-door Fiat 500 aimed at upmarket buyers (sounds awfully similar to the 500L) that will be built in Poland. Lower-end customers will reportedly be served by variants of the Fiat Panda.
Borrowing a page from the BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen playbook, reports Automotive News, Fiat is said to have plans to reignite production at its Italian factories by retooling them to build high-end vehicles from Maserati and Alfa Romeo. These will be marketed as premium products, built by skilled Italian workers (who are paid wages that are 75-percent higher than those building Fiats in Poland), and will be sold around the world.

Just 45% of Fiat dealers are profitable, and they're angry about it

On average, Fiat dealers have only been selling about 17 cars a month.
We've been wondering for some time how Fiat dealers in North America have been getting along with just one model range in their showrooms up until recently. Franchisees spent millions building, stocking and manning sleek new 'studio' showrooms, only to have but a single model to sell, the cherubic 500. And even with its many derivatives, the Cinquecento is still an inexpensive model with its attendant lower margins. Perhaps it should come as no surprise then, that just 45 percent of US Fiat dealers are said to be profitable.

I love the Disco Volante Spyder

Wed, Mar 2 2016

For the past couple of years, Touring Superleggera has always given me reason to pause at the Geneva Motor Show. Casually sitting on the company's rotating stand is the Disco Volante, an absolutely exquisite version of the Alfa Romeo 8C with custom bodywork. I first saw it in red, then green, and now in a powder blue, as a Spyder. Only seven of these open-top Discos will be built, and I want one. Photos do not do this car justice – you really have to see it in person. For those of you who won't make it to Geneva this year, this video gives a better look at the curves and lines of Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera's creation. The tuning house is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, and the new Disco Volante Spyder is (arguably) some of its finest work. Plus, bonus points for the name alone. How cool would it be to tell your friends you've got a Disco Volante in the driveway? But don't just take my word for it. Have a look at the gorgeous little two-door in the gallery below.
