1973 Alfa Romeo Spider
VIN: AR3041818 Miles: Odometer shows 65K. Unknown if this is accurate, but odometer works. Private seller. Non-smoker. Baby on the way, two door cars must go.
The early 70’s “S2” Spiders are some of the best and most desirable you can find. Lightweight, good power, great handling, small bumpers, and beautiful styling. This example is a great driver car; it runs, stops, shifts, drives, and handles amazing. Enjoy for many years ‘as is’, or restore as you go. I believe the paint is original; looks good from far, but is far from good. Some surface and some swiss cheese rust in the typical lower body exterior, but nothing structural.
Excellent compression on all cylinders: 140, 135, 135, 140 All instrument gauges and four main dash indicators work. Constant coolant temp at 180 degrees, constant oil pressure above 57 Heater works well and blows hot. Comes with new car cover.
No known accidents. Clean title in hand. Passed Colorado DMV inspection (all the important things WORK as they should), currently licensed and insured. Tasteful upgrades and/or newly replaced: JVC KD-X80BT head unit with remote plays digital music loaded on USB flash drive + four Blaupunkt GTX speakers, and Infinity Basslink 200-Watt, Dual 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 Anthracite wheels; 15x7x30, 4x108; 73mm center bore High performance BF Goodrich Super Sport A/S Tires 205/50/ZR15 IAP performance headers, custom exhaust straight back to ANSA muffler Full SPICA rebuild by Wes Ingram in 2012, runs great. Maintenance and Tuneup guides included LED interior and exterior lighting – dash lighting is visible! K&N filter Recovered leather seats and dash cap Rebuilt driveshaft – no vibration! Upgraded to cross drilled rotors + rebuilt calipers. New clutch. New radiator. New Koni Sport shocks and performance springs (from IAP). New gas tank and fuel pump. New pointless distributor, Bosch coil, and battery. New top, boot cover, sump guard.
Chrome trim and new windshield included (existing windshield has wiper scratches across passenger side) New sport three spoke steering wheel. New firewall and roof track drainage tubes – no wet floors! Upgrades in the last 12 months alone total over $7,500 Known issues: Typical 2nd gear synco can crunch if not familiar with how to properly drive these cars, or ‘double clutch’ Non-structural rust spots in lower fenders and wheel arches – very repairable.
Dented nose. Slight transmission/Diff leak – maybe a drop or two per week? Very minimal for a 1973 Alfa. Previous owner temporally fixed eroding floorpans with thick aluminum plate reinforcement and undercoating. A solid fix, but if restoring, they will need attention.
Passenger window missing a gear tooth, but does fully roll up and down with slightly more effort than usual needed. Windshield washer reservoir cracked. Replacement bag type in hand but not installed. Pump and sprayers work. LED bulbs create a ‘fast blink’ issue on turn signals and dash turn signal indicator not flashing
Car is listed on other sites, I reserve the right to end auction early. Based on condition, rarity, upgrades, and comparable sales, I believe the price is fair. First $4000 takes it.
Buyer info: You are responsible for shipping, located in 80215. Half payment due at auction close, half upon receipt of vehicle. Paypal preferred. Serious inquires only. No warranty expressed or implied. Title is in hand and will be sent over night once full payment is received. I have a perfect Ebay seller and buyer rating, so bid with confidence. |

Marchionne to make Alfa Romeo a separate company within Fiat
Mon, 28 Apr 2014According to a report in Automotive News that quotes "people familiar with the matter," the next big play in Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne's plan for Alfa Romeo is to break it off from Fiat Group Automobiles and set it up as a separate company within the Fiat empire, giving it the same structure as Ferrari and Maserati. The idea, say the sources, is that a transparent, standalone Alfa Romeo that has to justify its every move could clearly prove its success in the public financial statements it would have to report, finally achieving Marchionne's aim of making Alfa Romeo "a credible business proposition."
That, of course, assumes that Alfa Romeo will make a success of it. The brand hasn't made a profit in any year of Marchionne's decade at the helm; sales last year fell to numbers not seen in almost half a century and its new product offensive might not include the two vehicles currently responsible for 99 percent of its sales. We're told that the brand's six new models will begin arriving in 2016 - a roadster, a midsize sedan and large sedan, a compact SUV and large SUV, and a large coupe.
Marchionne aims to expand Alfa's global appeal in several ways, the first by stressing that they are Italian products that 'belong' to Italy. This is the stance that appears to have put the kibosh on the roadster twinned with the coming Mazda MX-5/Miata. Alfa Romeos will all be made in their home country, and if they take off they'll help bandage Fiat's problem with underused plant capacity, a bugbear that is just as problematic culturally and politically as financially. Top-tier trims would use V6 engines developed by Ferrari, and global access would get a boost by selling Alfa Romeos in Jeep's 1,700 international dealerships.
Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
Just 45% of Fiat dealers are profitable, and they're angry about it
Mon, 07 Oct 2013<
On average, Fiat dealers have only been selling about 17 cars a month.
We've been wondering for some time how Fiat dealers in North America have been getting along with just one model range in their showrooms up until recently. Franchisees spent millions building, stocking and manning sleek new 'studio' showrooms, only to have but a single model to sell, the cherubic 500. And even with its many derivatives, the Cinquecento is still an inexpensive model with its attendant lower margins. Perhaps it should come as no surprise then, that just 45 percent of US Fiat dealers are said to be profitable.
