I’m representing this very nice garage kept 1991 Alfa Romeo 164 L automatic for long time Alfa Romeo Owner’s Club members Tom & Frida. They purchased this Anthracite Gray with Dark Gray leather beauty from me (Todd Spruell – Paul Spruell Alfa, Inc.) on 11/30/1992 with 14,654 miles.

I recently sold Tom's very nice 1986 GTV-6... This is his wife’s car. Adult, Italian, female, non-smoker owner/driver.

I’m representing this well documented 164 as an ex Alfa Romeo dealer with intimate knowledge of these cars and in this case... it’s enthusiast owners.

PLEASE READ COMPLETE DESCRIPTION! I have driven this car for two months (2000 miles) to make sure that it is described both accurately and in detail. It is my goal to make sure that you know exactly what you are buying.

It currently has just over 117,000 miles. It’s 183 HP 3.0 V-6 engine starts on the first turn of the key, with no smoke or valve noise. It idles smoothly and runs strong. The 4-speed automatic ZF transmission works perfectly. The only option that this car does not have are the power adjustable split rear seats. It did come with a sunroof. This car has always been kept in top cosmetic and mechanical condition. The overall wear and tear of the car is more consistent with a car half it’s age/mileage. I have many detailed pictures available. I insist that pictures be requested and phone contact is made with me before you bid (Todd Spruell 678 665-1997).

The body is perfectly straight with all of its original panels and vin #’s. The paint has just been polished and waxed. It shows beautifully without any swirls or a single hint of polish or wax in the jams or gaskets. No dings on either side of the car. The only flaw that really jumps out at you is on the top right side of the trunk lid. It has a small ding and a scratch and a tiny ding on the top of the right rear quarter, just next to it. It also has a 1” scratch on the rear reflector bar, that could look better with a sand and polish. It has a scuf on the right front corner, if you look closely. Both the front and rear logo emblems are a little faded. The frontal area (nose and windshield) have a light patina consistent with it’s age but nothing hideous. So... it would benefit from a little bit of ding removal and touch up paint. Just to be clear... the paint is not all original. For example... the left from parking light was broken out causing minor damage to the fender, back in July of 1993. The estimate to repair it for $368 is in the records. It’s had some other paint work, when it was almost new.. but nothing from any major damage. The work is so good.. it's virtually undetectable. I think that the original finish on the wheels are the best testimony to the lifetime of care that this 164 has received. No curb damage. Paint is shiny and nicely intact, You have to look closely to see the brake debris that has embedded itself over the years.

The interior is simply amazing. Frida is a petite woman with no children. So there is not a scuff or scratch on the on the seats, door sills/gaskets or panels worth mentioning. The leather has been well preserved and it is soft and supple. From the headliner to the carpet... it is as clean and original as you will find. The only cosmetic flaws are the windshield/dash vent trim panel is cracked in two places and the shifter tongue filler strip is broken (so you can see down into the console, when it is in drive). The floor mats are in good condition and the carpet underneath is perfect. Again.... all of the door,trunk and hood gaskets are polished and waxed. Every inch of rubber and plastic are cleaned and dressed.

The suspension and steering are generally tight and it rides very smoothly on a matching set of Kumho Ecsta ASX 206/60 15” tires. The last receipt in the records for a mount and balance is dated 12/1/2004. The tires are in excellent condition and worn about 50%. A slight rattle can be detected while driving over rough surfaces. Brakes are also smooth and without any noise. It lived its first year in Tennessee and the rest in Georgia. So... the body is rust free and the undercarriage is free of any abnormal corrosion, due to not having been exposed to salted roads. I have taken some pictures of the undercarriage and it does have a normal amount of sweaty oil and dirt on the lower section of the engine, but it is not dripping any fluids.

Books, Records and Documentation – It comes with all of its original paperwork, window sticker, booklets and owner’s manual. The service book is dealer stamped for the 10k, 20k and 30k service. Out of warranty the car has receipts from respected Alfa shops. Tom was also hands on and did some maintenance himself. So... not all of the oil changes are documented. Again... the car speaks for itself. Remove the oil cap and you can see how incredibly clean the inside of the head is and how little wear there is on the cam. Also, it has a documented history of passing Georgia emissions test with flying colors. Included... are the spare key, valet key and both remotes for the working factory alarm system. The spare wheel/tire, jack, tool kit and straps. The tool kit is missing the red screw in wheel stud, that helps to align the wheel, while bolting it up. Even the ski bag (that lives behind the rear arm rest) for the passage from the trunk to the interior of the car is still there.

The most recent work was just done at 115,114 miles. New water pump and belts (Including the timing belt).

5/17/2009 Owner changed distributor cap, rotor & spark plugs

8/26/2006 Optima battery

1/7/2004 center exhaust

5/7/2003 – thermostat & radiator tank

5/29/98 – 80,654 miles. Timing belt, oil pan gasket, rear main & cigarette seals.

The lows...

The AC needs an expansion valve and filter-drier ($450-500). Then the system can be charged. The compressor wiring has been temporarily disconnected to prevent it from coming on in the meantime. The compressor does have a leak and has some bearing noise. I suspect, that it would hold a charge (possibly for a summer??) and be more quiet with refrigerant + oil. So... you might be able to get more use out of it, before it needs to be completely replaced.

It will run out of fuel with four gallons of fuel in the tank (at about 1/4 tank). I discovered this the hard way.... The car came to me with a starting problem and running a little rough, due to the loss of fuel pressure. The fix required replacing a small piece of fuel line on the fuel pump (inside the fuel tank). I also installed a new fuel filter, just prior to removing the fuel pump as part of the diagnosis. Although the pump works... something is clearly wrong with its pick up. Should not be difficult to figure out.

Something is out of adjustment on the flow of the air in the dash ventilation system. For example... when it is set to the floor, you can still feel a flow from the side and middle vents. This can be compensated for by opening and closing the dash vents manually. This also creates more circulation noise, particularly with the 3rd and 4th fan speeds. Although it's not moving the air quite the way it should.... it’s also not making any clicking or ticking sounds. So perhaps it could be repaired without a part or worst case scenario... replace the stepper motor.

Here is a punch list of the smaller items that will need attention if your looking for perfection – Cruise control does not work. Windshield washer tank leaks. Sunroof deflector needs adjustment (you have to hold it down for sunroof to close). Gas filler lid has been repaired (a used replacement part comes with the car, but it needs to be painted to match), Gas cap has minor cosmetic damage. Front cigarette lighter does not work.

I would not have any apprehensions about driving this car anywhere and I have complete confidence that you can fly into the Atlanta airport and drive it home safely.

It would be difficult to find a comparable car that is on the market. Priced accordingly. Seeking a good home.

Marchionne: FCA, but not Ferrari, interested in Formula E

Sat, Aug 5 2017

It seems like automakers have been clamoring to get on board with Formula E lately. In just the last few weeks a number of manufacturers have either become more directly involved, or otherwise announced entry into the series in coming years. That includes Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, with the latter two abandoning other series to join the electric one. Now, FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne says his company might join Formula E as well, according to Motorsport. Previously, Marchionne had toyed with the idea of bringing Ferrari into the Formula E field, but now says that would be unlikely. Instead, he thinks an FCA brand would be a better fit, perhaps Alfa Romeo or Maserati. At the moment, Maserati seems like the best fit, as Marchionne just announced that the brand would electrify its entire lineup after 2019, with each car it sells having either a hybrid or electric powertrain. Fans would probably be excited to see Maserati return to racing, and Formula E would be a good test laboratory for the development of electric propulsion technology. Still, another brand could represent FCA in Formula E, and apply the knowledge learned there to its vehicles, as Marchionne says half of the FCA fleet will be electrified by the end of the company's five-year plan ending in 2022. Marchionne said that while Ferrari won't be directly involved, he doesn't know which FCA brand – Alfa Romeo, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat, or Maserati Â– would enter. As interesting as an electric Dodge race car would be, it seems unlikely, especially because of, well, Maserati. We're hoping it's Jeep, though.

Alfa Romeo Tonale will finally be revealed in February

Mon, Jan 24 2022

Following a couple of delays, the Alfa Romeo Tonale compact SUV will finally, officially be shown to the public. The big reveal date is February 8, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. eastern time. The Tonale was first shown in concept form at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. The production model was expected to be shown sometime last year, but a couple issues prevented that. Reportedly, Alfa's CEO wasn't happy with how the plug-in hybrid system was working. Then, the same chip shortages that have affected almost every manufacturer of high-tech equipment further delayed the SUV. The photos you're looking at above come via a supposed leak at a design clinic from a couple years ago. We're expecting the Tonale to be fairly closely related to the Jeep Compass, and it will use versions of the plug-in hybrid system that's available on the Jeep in Europe. Two different output variants will probably be offered, one with 190 horsepower and the other with around 240. The model will be an important addition to Alfa's small lineup, particularly in a popular SUV form factor. Related Video:

2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio prices are a mixed bag

Sat, Sep 30 2023

Something happened on the way to the end of 2024, and that happening has resulted in higher-than-expected prices for the 2024 Giula and 2024 Stelvio. When Alfa announced changes for both models in April, we were informed the new Giulia Competizione trim would start at $53,115 in rear-wheel-drive form, the Stelvio Competizione trim would start at $57,420 in obligatory all-wheel-drive form. A month later, Cars Direct got wind of price cuts thanks to Alfa Romeo wanting to give buyers even more reason to put money down on la dolce vitaÂ instead of a certain Bavarian. In that report, the entry-level Giula Sprint was going to start at $44,795 after destination, the Stelvio Sprint would start at $46,370. An an Alfa Romeo spokesperson even replied to Cars Direct with, "The reduction in pricing is a lifecycle direction for Stelvio and Giulia to enhance market competitiveness." Looking at the 2024 configurator, the Giulia Sprint improves its advantage before options, whereas the Competizione is $2,345 above expectations. Prices for the 2024 Giula range after the $1,595 destination charge are: Sprint: $44,670 Ti: $47,210 Veloce: $50,970 Competizione: $55,460 Quadrifoglio: $82,970 Quadrifoglio 100th Anniversary: $90,070 What's not included here are mandatory additional costs for the Competizione and both Quadrifoglio trims; they don't offer the free white exterior paint option that the Sprint, Ti, and Veloce do. So the above sums will go up by at least $500, the least expensive exterior color option, to as much as $2,200. As for the Giulia Sprint undercutting the BMW 330i, that only happens if you want a white Giulia on the stock 17-inch wheels. The 2024 330i starts at $45,495, which is $825 above the base Giulia. But the BMW comes on 18-inch wheels, the Giulia on 17-inchers, and stepping up a rim size on the Alfa Romeo costs $1,725. BMW also offers black paint as a free option, whereas going dark on the Giulia costs $660. The Giulia does come with 280 horsepower versus the BMW's 255, so there's that. At the very top, a Giulia Quadrifoglio asking $82,970 might be a tough ask against a BMW M3 asking $81,195, never mind a $90,070 Giulia Quadrifoglio 100th Anniversary. It's the same on the Stelvio side of the fence.
