               Sharp, all-original Alfa Romeo 164S, the one to own. This is a fairly rare first-year model of the Sport in the US. It has always been a California-car since sold new in Southern California, until relocated to Northern California last year. I had no intention of selling my Alfa, but a sudden job-relocation makes this improbable. Reluctantly, I am posting it for sale here to find it a good Alfisti home.

 

              This S comes fully-equipped  with the Sport package, with the revised 3.0L V6 engine, updated suspension, Aerodynamics body trim package, S wheels and sport seats. It has 152K original miles, and it runs super, in both around town and on the freeway. That having been said, I do not fancy myself to be a race-car driver, and DO NOT abuse my cars, and have never done so. I have been very careful driver, and drive my 164 normally.

The 5-spd manual transmission shifts well and precisely into all forward and reverse gears. There is NO slippage, grinding of gears or odd noises. The clutch grabs quickly and does not slip. It has had a new clutch master cylinder replaced recently, so no risk of losing clutch pressure unexpectedly.

The 3.0L engine received a top-end overhaul at around 125K miles. It is tight and not a leaky mess like most. It is completely stock original, without any modifications from stock, besides an updated ANSA exhaust system. The car has also has front brakes just serviced ( the rotors are mirror mint). Rear brakes are about 80%. The 164 has stock-size radials with excellent tread ( at least 85% left), mounted on the factory alloy wheels. NO front-end vibrations, wobbling or pulling. Revised water pump and pulley update, of course.

 

               The body is in EXCELLENT condition, with absolutely NO rust whatsoever, anywhere in, under or around the car. The body is completely 100% RUST-FREE, as any clean, California car should always be. The original factory finish has held up remarkably well, with no flaking of the clearcoat anywhere, or fading to the roofline, trunk, hood or rear spoiler. The original glossy black still retains a beautiful shine despite the passing of years, evident that it has been regularly garaged.

 

The interior upholstery is in better than average condition. Both front seats are sound, with NO cracks, splits, tears or separation of the seams. The outer bolster on the driver's seat bottom shows some dye loss on the leather, common for any real leather seat. It could be easily re-dyed or gently touched up to make it look 100%. The rest of the upholstery, including the other seats and all door panels are in very good shape, clean and with no damage. The factory carpeting is very clean, and I had it recently professionally shampooed, along with the trunk carpeting, which is also very clean.

 

                    Overall, it is a very solid, good-running Alfa 164S, hard to find in its original configuration. It has NEVER been in an accident, wrecked, modified or fiddled with. I have listed the car to sell, with a ridiculous $1 opening bid. That being said, I have advertised the 164S in various other venues, and am open to a reasonable, FAIR offer.

To those that like to play games and bid $5 at the time, this is NOT going to be the car for you. To the serious, potential interested bidders, I welcome your bid and any questions you may have concerning the 164S. I reserve the right to end this auction early at any time, should a serious offer present itself, so bid early and bid often~!

 

          Upon end of the auction, I would like to receive payment within three business days. PLEASE ensure that your source of funds is in place and sorted out before placing a bid, in order to make timely payment.

If that means asking your significant other, checking with your boss that you are not getting transferred to Saudi Arabia or checking any significant tornado patterns landing in your home state, PLEASE do so prior to placing a bid and prior to the end of the auction.

Upon receipt of payment, I shall immediately mail you the CA title and bill of sale to the Alfa, via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation, unless otherwise noted. Method of payment can be a cashier's check, or money order(s). Personal, business, C.C advance or annuity account checks may be utilized, but must clear funding before the car is released. Additionally, a bank wire transfer may be sent to my local CHASE bank branch here in town; it allows for faster shipping arrangements and a timely closing of the transaction. Finally, PAYPAL may be used as an alternative if previously arranged between the buyer and seller (me), prior to placing a bid, and prior to the end of the auction.

 

     I shall be glad to assist with transportation/ delivery of this 164S to any location, nationwide or overseas. I can make all arrangements for shipping from here to your location, at the most economical shipping rate available.

 

Feel free to EM or call me with questions at (650) 430-4660 ( no later than 9pm PST, please). Thank you for your interest~!

Alfa Romeo Giulia interior revealed on YouTube

Fri, Jul 17 2015

When our David Gluckman reported from the Alfa Romeo Giulia reveal in Milan last month he didn't get to sit in or photograph the interior, but he wrote of it, "I liked what I saw of the interior. The center console is angled to hem the driver in a little, which works well with the canted, sweeping dash. It kind of reminds me of the look in newer Mazdas – clean and simple with a good balance of organic curves and straight edges." Now we can see what he meant because a YouTube video from user Alfa Romeo World shows off the new sedan's cabin. We're going to guess that this is a top-trim setup because there is a lot of stitched leather and carbon fiber in there. It's a good looking place for driving, and that steering wheel makes our hands want to clutch it. The infotainment area is one flush tinted screen extending from the gauge cluster and holding the line of the instrument panel, and the image appears to show up on the entire screen, not on another smaller screen mounted behind it. It's simplicity in a good way, bereft of any gimmicks that we can see, and with a six-speed manual transmission. For all the sportiness of the hard points, the seats look rather flat, especially in the back. We'll hold off on judgment until we sit in them. Have a look at it in the gallery above, there are more shots at this Facebook fan site, and we'll be lining up to take a seat in it at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Alfa Romeo working on high-performance engines

Wed, Dec 17 2014

During the big Fiat Chrysler Automobiles FCA US LLC announcement of its five-year plan earlier this year, the strategy for Alfa Romeo was easily summarized by brand boss Harald Wester: "Go back to the Alfa Romeo that people admired." Easier said than done. With the 4C as one step in that procedure, we might see the next when the company unveils its midsize sedan in June with a trio of new engines with up to 480 horsepower. Anonymous sources at suppliers are already making some big claims about the new mills to Automotive News Europe. The top of the heap is reportedly a 2.9-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 making up to 480 hp, based on the 3.0-liter engine in the Maserati Quattroporte and Ghibli. Below it is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that's claimed to produce between 180 hp and 330 hp for rear- or all-wheel drive applications. Finally, there's potentially a 2.2-liter turbo-diesel four with between 135 hp and 210 hp. Little has been officially announced about the midsize sedan, but it was possibly spied testing recently hidden under the body of a Ghibli. It was rumored to be rear-wheel drive with a size between the BMW 3 Series and 5 Series, and a high-performance GTA version was also speculated. According to ANE, the vehicle won't be called the Giulia and won't hit the market in the US until 2016. In addition to the midsize model's engines, FCA is also reportedly working on an updated version of its 3.0-liter diesel V6 sourced from VM Motori with new 275-hp and 340-hp versions. They are likely slated for Alfa's future large sedan and SUV.

Marchionne threatens to move Alfa production out of Italy

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne was unsurprisingly frank when asked by reporters about potential investments in Italian manufacturing for Alfa Romeo and Maserati, giving the Italian government the ultimatum, "Italy should decide if they want [Alfa Romeo's relaunch] to happen here or not as Fiat and Chrysler have several alternatives." Them's fightin' words.
Fiat's issue with the government stems directly from its courtroom clashes with the Fiom labor union. The two are currently embroiled in proceedings over longer shifts and shorter breaks, as Fiom has so far refused to sign a new contract citing revised labor laws that it says are anti-union.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat will be spending over $2.5 billion on development of eight new Alfas and six new Maseratis, in a bid to wrest some of the luxury pie away from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. But that's only going to happen if the government is willing to play ball and make life easier on Fiat.
