1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce Alfa Romeo produced the round tail for the US market only for two years, 1967 and 1969. This 1969 1750 Spider Veloce is a very good solid car. It has an older restoration and is still a very presentable car and with some cosmetic work, it could be a very nice car ready for the concours lawn. The mechanicals on the car have recently been rebuilt. The motor and gearbox were rebuilt by Santo's Italian Car Service in Northridge, California. When it was rebuilt it received new pistons/liners, crankshaft was sent out, new oil pump, complete valve job (suraface, new seats, guides, valves, etc.), new water pump, new chain, and rebuilt SPICA fuel injection. At the time of the engine rebuild, the car also got a new clutch and pressure plate, and the transmission was rebuilt (new syncros and sliders). The front suspension was gone through by Santo's Italian Car Service last year. The car runs and drives fantastic. It always starts right away even after sitting for a week. The paint on the car is still presentable but shows its use and age in a few areas highlighted in the photos on the link below. Some rocker repair and floor repair was done by the previous owner at some point. The work was done well and still looks good. The car is painted in a light green. It appears to have originally been silver. The dash is still silver so chaning it back to its original color won't require taking the interior apart. There are some dings and dents highlighted in photos in the link below. The chrome is in fair shape and shows its use. Interior in is good overall condition. The dash has ZERO cracks and in in excellent condition. The floors are covered in a combination of black carpet and Alfa Romeo rubber mats. The seats were also redone by the previous owner and do not have any rips or tears. The convertible top is in excellent shape as is the rear plastic window. Door panels are original to the car as is the trunk mat. If you would like to come see the car or have any questions that are not answered here, please feel free to call me Mon-Fri 8AM-6PM at (818) 701-1614. If you are looking for shipping quotes, you can tell the shipper than pickup is from Northridge, CA 91324. It is the buyers responsibility to pay for and arrange shipping. The car is sold in as is, where is condition with no warranties. A $500.00 non-refundable deposit is due no later than 24 hours after the auction ends.

Abarth SP 1000 factory restomod entering very limited production
Mon, Jan 3 2022In May 2021, Abarth created a one-off roadster to celebrate the brand's racing history, called the Alfa Romeo Abarth 1000. Based on the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, this was a factory-made callback to the 1966 Fiat Abarth 1000 Sport Prototipo, a highly successful competition car designed for gentlemen racers who wanted to do more than just show up, but who wanted to win. The UK's Auto Italia magazine tweeted that FCA Heritage chief Roberto Giolito said the carmaker would produce at least five customer units of the new Abarth 1000, with a price of around GBP170,000 each ($228,500 U.S.) Details beyond that must wait for the February issue of Auto Italia, due to hit newsstands on January 6 for UK readers. If this happens, it could close the circle on what the 4C was originally meant to be. Legend says the idea for the carbon-tubbed 4C should have spawned a hardcore Fiat that channeled the 1966 Abarth 1000. However, since the 4C took many of its cues and much of its technology from the limited-edition Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, it stuck to being a halo sports car for Alfa Romeo and all other branchings got pruned. Giolito likely reveals more in the interview, seeing as he was head of Fiat and Abarth design from 2011 to 2015. The reboot suits the modern 4C save for the high, 21st-century shoulder line. The 1966 car's low pointy nose, curvy fenders and myriad vents and scoops fit great, and we also dig the exposed roll bar and cut-down rear cowls. For such an expensive restomod, we might have wished for some mechanical changes. It appears there's no change to the 4C's mechanicals, with a 1,742-cc turbocharged four-cylinder sending its 237 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. As such, this should probably be called the Abarth 1740 SP or 1700 SP rather than 1000, since the original was named after the displacement of the modified Fiat 600 engine it used. The original weighed 1,058 pounds dry and had 105 horsepower; the 2,465-pound production 4C won't feel as spry, but should perform a little better. Once British readers get the skinny from the magazine interview, we should know more.
Muhammad Ali's 1976 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Series II is for sale
Sat, Apr 27 2019An Alfa Romeo was never in the plans. It was by accident that Muhammad Ali ended up bringing home this beautiful silver-on-black 1976 Spider Veloce Series II, but its interesting backstory only makes it more special. It's a story the car's next owner will surely need to memorize, as the car is currently listed on eBay for a Buy It Now price of $39,900 OBO. Found by Silodrome, the car is listed by Moto Exotica out of St. Louis, Missouri. According to Moto Exotica, which sources a clip from the book "Running with the Champ" by Ali's close friend and car guy Tim Shanahan, Ali had set out with Shanahan to buy a new Rolls-Royce (Ali loved his Double-Rs) during his time living in Chicago. The two visited European Imports in Lake Forest, Illinois, with the intention of buying a Kelly Green Corniche and possibly a Mercedes-Benz SL for Ali's wife, Veronica Porche. To Ali's dismay, the dealership did not have any SLs in stock, so this Alfa was suggested as an alternative. Ali purchased the car, brought it home, and ran into yet another issue. Porche did not know how to drive the car's manual transmission, and apparently didn't have any desire to learn. So the car mostly sat, with the exception of some rare errand runs by one of Ali's assistants. After a short time passed, Ali learned that Shanahan's personal car had broken down. In a situation that perhaps suggests destiny, Ali then gifted the car to Shanahan, who has owned the car for 40-plus years up until its sale to Moto Exotica. With about 80,000 miles, it has some wear and tear, such as a small crack on the dashboard, but it's in solid overall shape and recently received a respray. Plus it comes with the real registration with Ali's signature on it. Check out the full photos, video, and descriptive listing at Moto Exotica.
Leno samples Corvette Z06, steam cars, supercars and the wonders of Pebble Beach
Fri, 12 Sep 2014While Jay Leno's Garage was conceived to highlight the wonders of The Big Chin's eponymous storage facility, Leno does occasionally get out an into the larger world. Pebble Beach and the festivities around Monterey recently provided a great excuse for a road trip, and Leno seemingly had a pretty full dance card.
In an episode aptly dubbed The Ultimate Car Week, our host takes us through a pretty representative selection of great things to see in and around Pebble. Starting with a ride-along in a steam car, Jay manages to check in on the latest McLaren supercar and drive the Alfa Romeo 4C along the way. Oh, and he takes a good look at the all-new Corvette Z06 (next to the original Z06) before hitting the Concourse d'Elegance, too.
