Up for sale, is a beautiful example of a classic Italian Sports Car, the Alfa Romeo Spider. Pininfarina Body. Awesome shade of Red, really the only color for a car like this. This 1987 classic is in excellent condition, starts and runs like a charm. It's 2.0L still pulls hard and is great on gas. It can be placed on classic car insurance which will only cost you a few hundred per YEAR including collision! It is exempt from emissions testing. This convertible is really one of the best you can find of this particular vehicle. No cracks in the dash. Treated with Krown rust control yearly. There is absolutely no rust or rot anywhere on this car, quite a rare example. It has been taken care of all it's life. Looks as if it has been restored when you first glance at this car! Never driven anywhere near winter months, and is kept in an enclosed garage. Only 92,014 original KMs! (57,175 miles!) I've personally owned this car for 11 years. The previous gentlemen, a friend of my fathers, for more than 12 years. Hate to let it go, but it's not receiving the attention it needs in my growing fleet of cars. This year alone I've only put approx. 600kms on it and it was the same last year. I want someone else to enjoy it. I'm not in desperate need to sell, this is not your numerous problem everyday project $5,000 Spider. This car is worth more than others especially with it's current condition, mileage and all the work that's been done. Look elsewhere if you're looking for a neat looking 'beater', this isn't it. This car is really worth it. Amazing the amount of head turns you'll get. Fun to drive! Could even be a daily driver. This is the next up and coming european classic car.

There has been numerous maintenance and upgrades done to this car since I've purchased it. I have dated records of all the work I've done. Noticeable ones are as follows.

BWA modern fiver star wheels were added. Yokohama AVS ES100 tires have been installed. The stock original wheels with tires mounted are also still available if wanted. An example of their style is featured in one of the last posted photo. That is not an actual photo of them, they are in storage (too lazy). A new Pioneer CD MP3 player deck was installed including front Pioneer speakers and rear Kenwoods. An aftermarket alarm system that I did not install was removed. Never mess with a classic in that way, especially a Brit or Italian's wiring. New Cat Converter and Mufflers replaced. New Oxygen Sensor. New Speedometer Sender. New Rear Driver Side Suspension Bushing. Repaired pesky wiring issues. Seats professionally reupholstered with durable black leather. New Battery. New Slave Cylinder. New Ignition Coil. New Hand Rolled Sun-Fast Black on Black padded quarters Convertible Top. New Water Pump. Repaired Vacuum leak, Replace Cap/Rotor, 2 new fuel lines, 2 new fuel pumps, New SPI Aux Valve. New Clutch Master Cylinder. New Altitude Sensor. Radiator Repaired by weld and painted new tube. New plugs and plug wires. New Fuses.

The only real issue with this car I can think of are as follow. Mind you this car is nearly 3 decades old. The windshield passenger side towards the bottom has a little fogging approx an inch wide which you should be able to see in the pictures. It is an original windshield. The upholstering in the trunk looks new but the connections are starting to wear, not a real issue but something to mention. Slight abrasion on shifter leather boot, and a little piece of the carpet near the passenger side could be glued down firmer near the upper part of the door as seen in picture. I might even due that prior to sale actually. Any tiny paint chips over the years have been filled in immediately with touch up paint. The speedometer is malfunctioning and inaccurate.

On a side note, the side photo featuring the Pininfarina badge there are black marks towards the bottom of the car. Apparently there was some dirt/oil of some sort that I missed at time of photography. Those are not dings or scratches. Also, some reason wouldn't upload the pic of the engine bay. Nothing particular to see, just figured some people like seeing the casting of Alfa Romeo on the engine. Looks like a normal Alfa Romeo Spider, nothing mutilated.

Please feel free to ask any questions, I'd be more than happy to help. I am not responsible for shipping costs but will help with arrangements if needed. Located in Toronto, Canada. $250 non refundable deposit within 72 hours. Payment in full within 14 days.

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA heritage liveries revealed, and here's what it will cost

Thu, Apr 30 2020

Alfa Romeo created the Giulia GTA as a tribute to one of its most successful race cars, and the connection between the two models won't stop at the nameplate. Buyers will have the chance to order their hot-rodded sedan in one of several heritage-laced paint combinations worn decades ago by race-winning models. Designers immersed themselves in Alfa Romeo's archives department to analyze the most emblematic color combinations worn by the original GTA and its derivatives during the 1960s and the 1970s. White with green stripes was common, as was red with a yellow front fascia. The firm often competed with red cars, so painting the front end yellow, white, or another contrasting color allowed race officials and fans to quickly identify the driver. Stylists working in Alfa Romeo's Centro Stile then re-interpreted their favorite liveries to suit the Giulia GTA introduced in March 2020. The Italian firm said availability will be limited, but it didn't reveal how many cars it will assign a classic color combination to. Those who miss out will have to choose between green, white, and red. Alfa Romeo will cap GTA production at 500 examples. Pricing on the European market starts at ˆ143,000, while the lighter GTAm model (which is included in the 500-car production run) carries a base price of Âˆ147,000. These figures represent $155,000 and $160,000, respectively, though pricing for the American market hasn't been released. Every customer will receive a Bell helmet, a car cover that matches the paint, and a stint at the Alfa Romeo Driving Academy. GTAm buyers will also get a racing suit, gloves, and shoes made by Alpinestars. Dyed-in-the-wool fans will have the opportunity to take delivery of their Giulia at the Autodelta workshop in Balocco, Italy. That's where many of Alfa Romeo's greatest race cars were developed and built. Those for whom Alfa's sportiest sedan in decades will remain a dream have the car's configurator as a consolation prize.
