First year 'coda tronca' kamm tail 1971 Alfa Spider in infamous Alfa color.  Known history, VERY well taken care of its entire life, always garaged, the result is an amazing original car with EXCELLENT patina.  I acquired this car and set out to do a complete restoration as the originality is very much intact.  For example, literally ALL interior pieces are without flaws,  no rips in the rubber floor mats, or most any interior parts for that matter, panels, apron, ALL EXCELLENT, even original seat belts and lighter!...with the exception of the dash, cracked like so many.  I will include a perfect condition dash 'cap' to clean it right up.  I did have the seats redone beautifully in supple leather.  I know, meant to be vinyl, but take the deduction and go leather!  The pictures show the quality.


Last year I paid to have the car (covered truck) trucked to Santos Foreign in Northridge, CA and instructed a blank check mechanical rebuild to make this spider a dependable, safe, usable car.  Doesn't mean I daily drive it, but I could.  In fact I have only put on dry summer miles in and around Lake Tahoe on rare occasions...it drives superbly.  I will include a copy of the build sheet so you can see all the important and expensive work that was done.  (nearly $8k spent in the past year in improvements).  The NEW tranny shifts like butter, so sweet!

These '71 year spider's are the last and ONLY year the peppy high revving 1750 motor was still standard.  These cars are a 'cant miss' future collectible and are yet to see the real appreciation of their older round tail cousins, but it is about now that these cars make a prudent buyer happy!  I am offering two fantastic Alfa Spiders presently, also available, the LAST year of the gorgeous series 2 spider's, check my other items.  

I am an avid collector/lover of Alfa Spiders, and these are my personal cars from my private collection, so see who you are buying from.  I spare no expense while cars are in my possession to make them the best they can be.  I hate to part with these, but am on to other car related activities, so pay serious attention to these offerings if you are seeking a fun vintage collectible Italian convertible!

Hit the buy it now, and I will throw in a set of period correct aftermarket wheels.  YOU CHOOSE the style.  I have set up photos of two uber rare period correct styles....Ruspa's or Oscam's (both Italian boutique wheel company's) and keep the ones on there of course too.. These can go for up to $1,500. a set, so good value added!  

This spider is going to need a fresh paint down the road, but is an attractive rust free 'driver' at present.  Those fugly side protector strips look ungainly, but when cosmetic respray comes, DEFINITELY REMOVE THEM.  For now offering excellent protection.  

The mileage is a baffler...some have speculated original miles.  I do know the previous 2 owners (representing nearly all of its life) barely drove it and wear and tear on the inside reflects the low miles from new?

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.

Audi rumored to buy Alfa Romeo, officials deny it

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

For more than two years, Volkswagen has been making public statements about its willingness to buy Alfa Romeo and quadruple the Italian brand's sales, and for just as long, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has replied with some version of "Mr. Piëch, drop it." According to a report in Ward's Auto, all that jousting might be over: it claims that sources close to both Marchionne and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler admit that the two are in talks for Audi to buy not just Alfa Romeo, but a production plant in Italy. In fact, a final deal could possibly include partsmaker Magnetti Marelli.
Against that backdrop, a report by German news weekly Stern quotes a Fiat spokesmen as saying it doesn't comment on rumors and an Audi rep has said flatly that "There is no substance in the news." If a sale is being arranged, the timing would seem to point to how eager Fiat is to raise cash to complete its major initiatives. Even though Alfa Romeo continues to delay its return to the US, it just showed off the production version of the 4C at the Geneva Motor Show (shown above) and said that preferred Fiat dealerships here would get them. Then there's Alfa's recently concluded deal with Mazda to develop a roadster based on the next generation MX-5 Miata - a deal that would seem to help both the Italian and Japanese brands.
The monetary issues are troublesome, though. Fiat is taking a beating in the European market and its weak-kneed balance sheet is delaying gotta-have-it products like the Jeep Cherokee. Fiat has been talking to banks about getting money to buy the rest of Chrysler and those financial institutions have also raised issues about debt and cash reserves, and the nasty game of chess Fiat is playing with the United Auto Workers (and now the court system about the portion of Chrysler it doesn't own) could end up blowing another hole in Marchionne's plans. It is possible that this could finally have convinced Fiat to at least see how serious Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, is about buying Alfa Romeo. Or it could be just another rumor.
