This is a very solid '76 Alfa that had very little rust except for the spare tire well. This car was rust protected with a Ziebart-like spray when new and did not rust out except for the tire well, which was repaired with fiberglass and sheet steel and looks good. The car had been repainted quite a while ago. The paint is shiny except for the hood, but only in fair condition. The hood is dull and looks like a different shade of the same color. The rocker panels, lower fender areas, jacking points and floors are solid. Rocker panels have had some surface rust touch ups. The big black rear bumper was replaced with an earlier model stainless bumper. It has headlight covers in good condition. The top works well and is not ripped. The rear plastic window is not clear, but can be seen through. The bouncing speedometer (reading 58,000) was replaced a half year ago with one that works except for the trip meter and reading some 53,000 miles. So, the car lost 5000 miles. The actual miles are unknown, but the condition makes me feel it is around 60,000. I have owned the car 4 years and have put about 3000 miles on it, mostly working on it as a hobby car. The speedometer works smoothly without bouncing as does the tachometer. The other gauges work correctly as well. The driver seat was nicely reupholstered. The passenger seat is original and in good condition with some repairs having been made. The door panels have been replaced with simple black flat vinyl on a plastic backing board to eliminate warping. They look very good. The original floor rubber mats are in excellent condition. The glove box door was removed and the inside upholstered to make a finished parcel area without the ugly warped door usually seen. The dashboard has cracks that have been filled, but not smoothly. The gas tank was cleaned and treated with POR 15. The cylinder head was taken to a professional cylinder head shop with the right tools do a valve job and correctly install and ream new valve guides. New European cams from International Auto Parts were fitted to the heads and correctly adjusted. The cams were the standard grind for a carburetor car. It has a new head gasket and gasket set, of course, and the head does not leak. Early model year 2.0L cast headers were fitted. A rebuilt set of Dellorto carburetors was fitted with the manifold, jetting, and air box from a European '78 sedan originally delivered in the Virgin Islands. The Alfa has all new hoses, tune up parts, water pump, motor mounts, fuel pump, and fuel pressure regulator. The engine runs very well, idles well, does not have flat spots in acceleration, and does not smoke on acceleration, deceleration, or consume out-of-spec quantities of oil. Oil pressure is excellent. It does not overheat. It does run rich at idle which can lead to plugs loading up. The transmission has a good clutch with smooth action and no slipping. The transmission has no grinding in second gear or any other gear either upshifting or downshifting. It is the smoothest Alfa gearbox that I've driven. The stock exhaust system is two years old and is not rusty. The brakes work well. Tires are good on BWA period-correct wheels that have been spray painted one color. No radio; never had one. Issues that I know of: Front turn signals do not work. Gauges fog up in cool weather. It has a small dent on the nose that is hard to notice. The wipers and heater work on one speed only. The trip meter does not work. Like most Alfas, it leaks several quarter sized drops of transmission oil and engine oil per day requiring a mat or tray under the car when stored. This is a great running solid Alfa that has had all of the right mechanical things done to it. Sorry, California folks and a few others; it has been modified and will not be street legal or pass a smog test. I added photos to show the jacking points, floor, rocker panels, and repair work done to the wheel. The car also has at least a half dozen small dents that look like door dings, but on the top of the front left fender and a few dings on the trunk lid.

Alfa Sprint Speciale racer looks fantastic, sounds even better
Thu, Oct 2 2014Nothing quite sounds like a vintage Alfa Romeo four-cylinder engine at full gallop, especially in motorsport trim. With a combination of low-frequency burbling played over a high-pitch scream, they really know how to sing. This week Petrolicious takes a look at a truly unique Alfa Sprint Speciale that's just as adept at competing in the wide-open La Carrera Panamericana vintage race in Mexico as it is snaking through some undulating, tree-lined back roads. Ostensibly, this is a 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale, although it's really much more the creation of Alfa-restorer Conrad Stevenson. The roof section, including the holes for the windshield and rear glass, is original to one of these fantastic-looking coupes. But everything below that is Stevenson's handiwork. To shape the styling, he combined the original Bertone design with his own ideas to purpose build the car for the challenges of the Mexican race. As usual, Petrolicious nails every aspect of the production, especially the handheld camera work inside the cabin as the car negotiates the curves. It really communicates the connection between this swoopy Alfa and its builder. Plus, the sound mix lets the engine play its glorious tune.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio CUV to debut at 2016 LA Auto Show
Fri, Mar 4 2016America loves crossovers. Alfa Romeo wants to succeed in America. So it only makes sense that the troubled Italian automaker will introduce its first ever CUV on American soil. That's per a report from Australia's Motoring, which claims we'll clap eyes on the Stelvio for the first time this November in Los Angeles. The news was announced by Alfa Romeo and Maserati boss Harald Wester, who said it'd be a late fall debut, according to Motoring. That almost certainly means the mid-November to-do in LA. "We will have an additional product in the [CUV] segment with the new Alfa, to be presented in late Autumn this year, and for the time being there are no plans for Maserati to further extend our range downwards in the more compact SUV segment," Wester told Motoring. The Stelvio – the name was confirmed by FCA boss Sergio Marchionne last month and comes from the iconic Italian pass and the snaking road attached to it – will be based on the Giulia's rear-wheel-drive platform, and will be offered in both two- and four-wheel drive versions. Like the Giulia, there will be both four- and six-cylinder options, which according to the Aussies will include a high-performance Quadrifoglio Verde model. Related Video:
Alfa Romeo Stelvio goes on sale this summer for $42,990
Wed, May 10 2017The wait is nearly over for the most practical Alfa Romeo yet. The mainstream versions of the new Stelvio crossover SUV go on sale this summer, with pricing and availability for the 505-horsepower Quadrifoglio coming later. The entry-level Stelvio will start at $42,990, and the higher-trim Ti will go for $44,990. This pricing, which includes destination charges, is nearly identical to key competitors in the small luxury crossover segment. The Jaguar F-Pace starts at just $70 more with a base price of $43,060. The BMW X3 starts a bit lower than both at $41,045. Each of those entry-level crossovers makes less power than the Stelvio, though. The Jaguar makes 247 horsepower, and the BMW makes 240. The Stelvio's turbo four-cylinder makes 280 horsepower and 306 pound-feet of torque. And unlike the BMW, the Alfa comes with standard all-wheel drive. Along with the standard eight-speed automatic, the Stelvio is capable of getting to 60 mph in an estimated 5.4 seconds on the way to a 144 mph top speed. Aside from the potent four-cylinder, Stelvios come standard with leather seats, keyless entry and starting, rearview camera, 7-inch infotainment display, and 18-inch wheels. Spending the extra $2,000 for the Ti trim level will add 19-inch wheels, real wood trim, an 8.8-inch infotainment screen, and heated seats and steering wheel. Sport packages are available on both the base model and Ti. Each package includes sportier suspension, a different steering wheel, black window trim and roof rails, and aluminum pedals and paddle shifters. On the base Stelvio, the package only costs $1,800 and also adds 19-inch wheels. On the Ti, the package costs $2,500, but includes 20-inch wheels and 12-way power sport seats. The Ti also offers a Lusso package for $2,500 that comes with 19-inch wheels, 12-way power seats with nicer leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped dashboard, and a "luxury" steering wheel.
