SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE. CLEAN CAR HISTORY REPORT NO ACCIDENTS. CLEAR TITLE. Please read entire posting before purchasing/bidding/making an offer Relisted due to a missing in action buyer Rare 1992 164 S. I am the second owner. Lots of work done to the tune of $3K in the last year and a half including (timing belt, accessory belts, clutch, fluids flush, oil change, alignment and more that I cant remember right now). All work was performed by a reputable Alfa shop. Here is some of the highlights: *17 inch wheels (5x98 specific Alfa bolt pattern) with Brand new tires (225-45/17) with less than 200 miles on them. *B&G Red lowering springs. *After market retractable screen cd/mp3/usb/ipod/iphone/blue tooth/dvd player with remote *MB Quart front speaker Seprates *Hi Fonics Rear 6x9 speakers. *Interior is 9.5out of 10.

Shifts are nice and tight. Revs to redline freely. *No cracks in the dash. *The infamous leather red stitched dash cover that tends to warp after being exposed to the sun for years has been also replaced with a new cover to match with red stitching as well. *New gray leather shift knob with red stitching on a lower shift lever. *The car Tracks incredibly well with the springs/wheels set up. *No issues with stock adjustable shocks as they function like they should with the auto/sport setting. *Clean Engine Bay. *Legal Tint *De Badged Trunk (I still have the Badges and they are included in sale) *Clean Trunk *Original Spare and Jack Included *NO RUST I am selling for financial reasons ONLY. The cars is an absolute joy to drive and toss around and will keep up with the best of the best out there on the road but with a style that is unmistakably Italian and in a manner only an ALFA can achieve. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions if and only if you are genuinely interested in purchasing the car. I will entertain reasonable offers. No ridiculous offers please. This is my last personally owned Alfa that I am parting with. If you are looking for a project Alfa, this in not it. It is not perfect as it is a 22 year old vehicle. However it is a fine example of a well maintained Alfa that needs very little to be perfect. I will assist with shipping arrangements as much as I can but it remains the sole responsibility of the purchaser along with shipping charges. Also, I will not hesitate to drive the car across country if need be. European Headlight and taillights along with New Alfa Romeo Logo mat and New Dash Mat will be included with the Buy It Now price. Good Luck |

Alfa Romeo abandoned the Spider to focus on crossovers
Wed, Sep 7 2016As much as enthusiasts like to forget or deny it, automakers are in the business of making money, and sometimes that means doing things that seem counter to a brand's image or history. Alfa Romeo, for example, is attempting to make a comeback in the US. The make has a long history of making sporty vehicles, so news that Alfa has ceased plans on some new cars in order to focus on crossovers should be disappointing, but far from surprising. The new Fiat 124 Spider, based on and build alongside the Mazda Miata, was originally supposed to be a new Alfa Romeo Spider. A while back, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne has said that as long as he's in charge, Alfas will be built in Italy. That seemed to be reasoning enough for the new car's switch to Fiat, but Automotive News is reporting that the company actually abandoned the new Spider in order to build SUVs. The Spider isn't the only vehicle that appears to be off the table. While the new BMW 3 Series-sized Giulia is set to hit dealers later this year, larger sedans meant to compete against the 5 Series and 6 Series have been axed. Alfa's first crossover, the Stelvio, is expected to debut later this year. The company has plans for a Giulia-based crossover as well. A lot of this seems counter to Alfa and FCA's five-year plan that was announced fewer than three years ago. Then, the 400,000 annual sales target worldwide by 2018 powered by Italian-designed and -built engines. In actuality, the company has struggled to get even the Giulia to market, delaying everything else in its wake. Related Video:
2016 Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix recap: another wild show on and off track
Mon, Apr 18 2016Normally we use this space to provide a lengthy recap of the weekend's Formula 1 race, but we're going to try something different since most folks reading this know what happened at the Shanghai International Circuit on Sunday. Instead, we'll alight on what we saw as the big issues in and around the race. Let us know what you think in Comments. Proper qualifying is back. Thank goodness. It only took a month of embarrassment to fix it. And so is passing! For the third race in a row, big performance improvements at the ten teams behind Mercedes-AMG Petronas and a wider tire selection at this race graced us with opening stints filled with dicing cars. Seeing the McLarens on screen doesn't make us cringe. Manor doesn't only make the global feed when it's being lapped. We've been complaining about parade races for so long that we forgot excitement was possible without rain or wholesale regulation changes. Yes, Mercedes is still the king of the jungle, but there are some other proper midfield beasts on the hunt, too. Malfunctions up and down the grid did help the show in Shanghai, like Lewis Hamilton suffering perpetual troubles, Nico Hulkenberg's runaway front wheel which red-flagged Q2, and Sebastian Vettel's and Kimi Raikkonen's flubbed hot laps in Q3 that let Daniel Ricciardo slip by into second on the grid. Come race day things went all Grand Theft Auto at Turn 1 on the opening lap, sending some of the best cars to the pits. Then came Ricciardo's puncture while leading, then came the Safety Car – all by Lap 5. Nico Rosberg got 38 seconds of airtime on the way to victory – at the start and the finish, and that happened to be his margin of victory, too – otherwise he was a ghost. Everyone else was struggling and juggling. Rosberg's win at the Bahrain Grand Prix put the German at five consecutive victories going back to last year's Mexican Grand Prix. The history books show that any driver who's won five straight contests has gone on to win the championship. With his triumph in China, the German has won the season's first three races, the history books again show that the other nine drivers who've pulled that off have gone on to win the championship. Rosberg, 36 points ahead of his teammate in the standings, is having none of it. He said of the other victors, "But they didn't have Lewis Hamilton as their team-mate." Perhaps Mercedes was right not to make an engine deal with Red Bull last season.
2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Luggage Test | Time for an Italian vacation
Fri, Jul 24 2020When it comes to handling and being fun to drive, the 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia is right at the top. From its engaging and tossable Ti trim, to the totally bonkers Quadrifoglio, Alfa Romeo has some excellent options for those who love to drive. However, we aren’t exploring 0-60 mph times or steering feel today, so letÂ’s see how the Italian sedan holds up when it comes to suitcase stacking. Alfa Romeo doesnÂ’t list an official trunk capacity on its media website or its consumer-facing site, but itÂ’s very similar in size to the last luxury sedan I luggage tested: the 2020 Volvo S60. WeÂ’ll place the estimate to be around 12 cubic-feet. Just by eye-balling it, Alfa appears to be on the smaller side of the spectrum here, with its competition being the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and several others. Note that I use different equipment than Riswick out in Portland: Two carry-on suitcases sized (24 inches long, 15.5 wide, 10 deep); one carry-on suitcase (21.7L x 13.7W x 9 D); one medium-size suitcase you have to check (24.5L x 16.8W x 11.5D) and two larger, full-size suitcases (33.8L x 21.5W x 13D) and (28.1L x 18W x 10.5D). It's not a power trunk, but you can pop it via the fob, a button by the driver footwell or a button on the trunk itself. Once open, I started with the carry-on suitcases. All three of those fit when turned on their sides, but a fourth would be impossible to squeeze in using that formation. ThatÂ’s due to the GiuliaÂ’s trunk becoming more restrictive in both depth and width deeper inside of it. YouÂ’ll notice the curved intrusions at the back of the trunk pictured below. They make shoving a suitcase all the way back in there impossible, as there isnÂ’t enough space next to the other three suitcases. The opening itself is rather small, too, forcing me to contort the suitcases as I lay them in. Instead, I decided to stick the fancy bag (22L x 8.8W x 12D) in there. ItÂ’s smaller and better suited to the space that remains, fitting perfectly within that nook. ThatÂ’s not ideal, but plenty of room for two people on a longer getaway. Next up: full-size suitcases. One of them fit right in without issue, but the second full-sizer I use for testing would not. Once again, this is due to the width restrictions imposed by the trunk walls coming in on both sides at the back. I did manage to fit the medium-size suitcase next to the one full-sizer if both were turned on an angle.
