1972 Alfa Romeo Spider. Original spica fuel injection. The engine starts and runs very well and seems to have plenty of power when driving. There is an occasional back fire when quickly letting off the throttle which I believe is a simple timing issue. The syncro for second gear needs fixed as it is difficult to downshift into second gear without grinding. Other than that the car is great to drive. It steers straight and tight and feels solid and stable at any speed. It brakes straight though a little soft. I was told by the previous owner that it has new front end bushings and bearings and alignment. It has newer tires and comes with a hard top that is in great shape. The convertible top material needs replaced but the top frame itself is in good condition. The seats could use recovered and I am including a new dash cover that needs installed. The car is in need of a re paint and a fiew minor fixes. There is some bubbling on the lower rocker panels and there is one rust spot on the floor pan behind the passenger seat that shows up in the pictures. The odometer shows 65K, I believe it has 165K. All the glass is good. This car can be a daily driver with only minor tinkering or is a good candidate for restoration. I have set a reasonably low reserve price that is well below the value of this car and less than what I have into it. The car is located in Portland Oregon and I will assist with any shipping necessary. I have shipped a fiew cars and Im happy to help make arrangements for shipping and the car is in a safe dry place and can be stored here for a little while while shipping arrangements are made. The car should be able to drive to its new home without a problem. This car comes with a folder of receipts for maintenance and repairs dating back to the late 1970's where the car was serviced by Portland Oregons Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo. I have a clean title in hand. Heres a link to the youtube video of the engine running and a walk around of the car. http://youtu.be/jmmJEZeanEI

Mazda and Fiat finalize deal for Alfa roadster, next-gen MX-5 Miata
Fri, 18 Jan 2013Although a little bit later than expected, Mazda and Fiat have signed a final agreement that will bring a next-generation MX-5 Miata to the Japanese automaker and a new roadster to Alfa Romeo. When the proposed arrangement was announced back in May, the two automakers had hoped to seal the deal last year, but it doesn't appear that the production timeline for these cars has slipped any, with both expected to start rolling off assembly lines in 2015.
Other than a shared chassis with a rear-wheel-drive layout, it sounds like the two cars are still planned to be distinct in their own ways from their styling right down to their engines. Mazda will produce both cars at a plant in Hiroshima, Japan, but it isn't clear what role each automaker will play in the cars' developmental process. The big question, of course, is what clever portmanteau name we can come up with, like Toyobaru. Mazda Romeo is the easy choice, but Alfazda might roll off the tongue a little better.
Scroll down for a brief press release from both automakers.
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.
