Alfa Romeo 1971 Giulia Super 1600 Rare "biscione" Model 10526 Series on 2040-cars
Novi, Michigan, United States
|
You are viewing a very rare 1971 Giulia Super 1600. Model 10526. Very rare "Biscione" edition. Vin #: AR1887419.
I am reluctantly offering my "Super" up for sale. With 2 Giulia sedans in the stable and not using either one of them, it's time to find a new home for this very rare Alfa. I purchased it from an Alfisti that was living overseas. It was imported into the US from Belgium in 2005 and has seen very little use since then. It is fitted with the original 1600 engine with the factory dual solex carbs. 5 Speed transmission. This is the later style with "hanging pedals". The "Biscione" edition makes this Super quite rare in the States. Color: AR343 - Blu Olandese with Tan Interior Clear "Michigan" Title 50,000 Kilometers on odometer - actual mileage is unknown. I will be adding more pictures within the next few days. I have owned the Super for the past few years and have used it sporadically over that time period. With too many Alfa's and not enough time to drive them, it has been sitting in the garage along with my other Alfa's as well as another Giulia Super. I am in the midst of 2 Alfa restorations right now, and really need to free up some space. I really don't want to part with it, but realistically it will not be used or enjoyed the way it should be. With that said, I am hoping to find a good "Alfa" home for this very rare sedan. I would consider it "daily driver" type Alfa with plenty of patina, so you don't need to worry about using it. It's ultra reliable and always starts up. "Biscione" means "Snake" in Italian. The trim differences between a standard Super and the Biscione are as follows: 1. Recessed "Alfa Romeo" badge on the trunk. 2. Chrome center strip on hood. 3. "Biscione" badges on "C" Pillars 4. Chrome trim on rocker panels 5. First part of the headliner under visors are "black" 6. Chrome surroundings on interior light switch. This example is completely stock down to the original factory shift knob. Mechanically, the Alfa runs very nicely. Starts easily and is completely stock. As the pictures show, the engine compartment is very tidy and looks factory correct. There are no charging issues. No excess oil burning. Has plenty of power on the freeway and pulls nicely in each gear considering it's a 1600. Clutch and transmission work fine with no syncro issues that I can recall. As stated, this is a "hanging pedal" car with a hydraulic clutch. Much more modern and easy to use as compared to floor pedals in my opinion. U joints and driveshaft donut was fixed shortly after I purchased it. Exhaust is fine. Tires are all in good condition on original steel wheels & correct hubcaps. Known issues: at some point the ignition switch was bypassed due to a broken key, so now it just requires the pull of a switch (under the dash) and the push of a button to start it. I purchased a correct replacement switch, but frankly found it more convenient to use it the way it is. The replacement switch will be included in the sale. Transmission leaks oil. Some excess free play in the steering. Needs new toggle switch for the wipers. Has factory "Euro" headlights and also rear "fog" light. Brakes work fine as well as the electrics. Has new heater valve and fresh oil change. The interior is in very nice original condition as shown in the pictures. Considering it's over 40 years old, I would say it's almost mint except for the tear in the driver's seat. The dash is in great shape with a factory radio "block off " plate. Obviously features "Euro" gauges with speedometer in Kilometers per hour. Center console is very nice as well. Passenger seat and rear seat are in great condition. Door panels near perfect. All windows operate correctly as well as the interior door handles. Driver's seat fitted with Sheepskin seat cover due to rip in the seat. The body has an older repaint in it's original AR 343 Blu Olandese at some point while it was still over in Europe. It has held up pretty good and has the normal "wear" one would expect from a vintage unrestored Alfa. It has some nice patina and presents itself nicely as a "driver". As shown in the pictures, the passenger side shows some evidence of previous body work. There are some misc. spots where the paint has flaked off including under the front bumper. It does have some of the typical rust that Supers are noted for. These spots are limited to the following areas: both rear wheel arches, passenger side rear quarter panel (worst spot) and the lip of the hood. Floors and rockers are solid as well as the area under the radiator support. Trunk lid in nice condition with no rust issues. Both front and rear bumpers are in nice condition. In summary, this is essentially an all original unrestored Giulia Super. Far from perfect, but could be a great daily driver for the Alfisti that is looking for something a little bit different. Ultra reliable, I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. These sedans are a blast to drive, and will always get a "thumbs up" from fellow car enthusiasts! For those that have been priced out of the market and cannot afford to pay the high teens for a "Super", this may be the perfect alternative. The Alfa is being sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied. I cannot be held responsible for any errors or inaccuracies that may have been inadvertently been provided. Please have your finds in order prior to bidding. Shipping is up to the buyer to arrange. As stated, the Super represents a wonderful opportunity for the Alfa enthusiast that is looking for a solid example at an affordable price. Comes with a clear Michigan title. Will need some general work/maintenance as noted in the description. The buyer should expect other normal wear and tear items to be addressed as would be expected of a 40 year old vintage sports sedan. Sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied. I have done my best to describe the Alfa to the best of my ability, however there may be some things that I may have missed. It is up to the buyer to do due diligence when making a purchase online. Do not make any assumptions about anything. Ask any questions that may not have been addressed. I am not responsible for any errors or erroneous misinformation. I will be adding more pictures within the next few days. For the motivated buyer, I will consider ending the auction early for a serious offer, however I do not have a buy it now price set. The fine print: If you have 5 or less feedback transactions, you must contact me prior to bidding. A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 is due within 24 hours of the auction end. If the deposit is not received, the Alfa will be offered to the next highest bidder. The balance is due within 7 days of the auction end date. The car must be picked up within 10 days of the auction end date. A $10.00 per day storage fee will be charged after the 10 days unless prior arrangements have been made. I have sold several vintage cars to overseas buyers with the buyers being extremely pleased with the sale. "License Plates" not included. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. On Apr-12-14 at 21:09:14 PDT, seller added the following information: I just took the Super out of storage this weekend to take some additional photos which have been added to listing. These photos highlight some of the noted rust areas on the quarter panel and lip on the hood. Additionally, I found 2 small bubbles near the gutter trim and a few other misc.rust spots which I had not noted since it's been primarily covered and stored. I also forgot to mention that there is a stone chip in the windshield on the driver's side. Lastly, I will be adding more pictures that shows the undercarriage. On Apr-14-14 at 15:34:25 PDT, seller added the following information: I had a chance to take the Super around the block yesterday. It fired up nicely and ran smoothly. When pulling up to my driveway I could hear a clunk in the right front which sounds like a lower ball joint or possibly sway bar bushing.

Alfa Romeo unveils more details about US-spec Giulia
Fri, Mar 18 2016Last November, Alfa Romeo unveiled some of the tech specs about the 2017 Giulia in the US, but now the company has released even more details about the lower trims ahead of their upcoming appearance at the New York Auto Show. We still don't officially know their prices, but the Giulia arrives here in three trims: a standard model, the mid-range Giulia Ti, and the high-performance Giulia Quadrifoglio. The Giulia and Giulia Ti use a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 276 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Power routes through an eight-speed automatic to the rear wheels, and the sedans can reach 60 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds. The optional Q4 all-wheel drive system can send up to 60 percent of the torque to the front axle when necessary. However, there's no word yet how this layout affects performance. Even the lower rungs of the Giulia range have a sporty demeanor. Standard features include a seven-inch driver info display between the analog gauges, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and keyless start. Depending on model, they come with either a 6.5-inch or 8.8-inch widescreen infotainment system, which uses a rotary dial in the center console for the controls. There's also a huge range of customization, including optional Sport, Luxury, and Performance packages and 13 available exterior colors. The Quadrifoglio ups the performance ante with a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 boasting 505 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque, which rockets the sedan to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. To maximize efficiency, the engine has stop-start and cylinder deactivation. Customers who want a little more can order optional carbon fiber shell Sparco seats, which Alfa claims are the lightest in the segment, and carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes.

Fiat brings raft of special-edition hatchbacks to Geneva
Wed, Feb 25 2015The annual Geneva Motor Show presents a prime opportunity for any automaker – European ones especially – to show off new metal. You'd figure that would include the sprawling Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group, but instead, one of Europe's largest automakers will be presenting a series of special-edition hatchbacks for the European market. Yeah, we're as disappointed as you are. First up is the Fiat division itself, which will be showcasing the Vintage '57 edition of the 500 and the Panda K-Way. The former puts an even more retro spin on the already-retro hatchback, with a two-tone pastel blue-and-white exterior, 16-inch white-and-chrome wheels and a tobacco-leather interior. The latter was designed in collaboration with the famous rainwear label, K-Way, and features mix-and-match exterior color combinations, titanium-finish trim and a specially crafted interior. Alfa Romeo will be celebrating the European debut of the 4C Spider we already saw in Detroit. In terms of new debuts, Alfa also has the elegant Collezione edition of the Giuletta and the MiTo Racer edition with gray and brown trim that looks, at first blush at least, much more subtle than the name would convey. Though no longer a major player in the Fiat portfolio, Lancia is showcasing the 30th Anniversary and Elle editions of the Ypsilon – the car that in its own words, "Italian women love more than any other." Jeep is showing the Renegade with new powertrain options, and Abarth has updated its range of 500-based hot hatches, but for something new and exciting, it looks like we'll be passing right by the Fiat section at the Geneva Palexpo this year.
