1978 Alfa Romeo Spider Convertible

This vintage custom racer taken in by our consignment facility has a fiberglass top and a rebuilt engine. It has new tires and spare, new starter, and new battery, racing seat belt straps installed on both seats. It comes with the convertible top assembly but has no canvass on it, just the assembly. The door windows are custom Plexiglas sides that latch in place.

The Alfa Romeo Spider is a roadster produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo from 1966 to 1993. Widely regarded as a design classic, it remained in production for almost three decades with only minor aesthetic and mechanical changes. The three first series were assembled by Pininfarina in Grugliasco and the fourth series in San Giorgio Canavese. The Spider was the last rear wheel drive Alfa Romeo produced before Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione was introduced.

It was the last project in which Batista Pininfarina was personally involved. Parts are readily available and don't require “factory computers” to fix and maintain. While rust was a major issue in these cars, this particular example is rust and rot free. See pics for actual condition as this is part of the description.

This Spider is 1 of the 3868 made during the 1978 production year. This is admittedly not perfect, the fiberglass top is a bit scuffed up and out of shape. Starts runs and drives good, shifts through the gears nicely. We have been personally using this daily and is tested as road worthy and road legal, lights, heater blower, and wipers work, horn not working.

For the past couple years this car has been a summer road driver and has proven its reliability for the previous owner. We do not have the racing history of this racer. The tires are nearly new. A pure Italian classic, this one gets a lot of attention and questions when exposed to the general public. You can run every day and work on it in your garage with parts that are readily available.

  While the car is in running and reliable condition, the fuel injectors appear to be running slightly rich. The car is available to see and test drive any time during the course of this auction. Cas is being sold as is/where is with no warranties of any kind implied. In our honest opinion, this car will run and drive from here to anywhere you live in the lower 48 States.

 Terms:

 $200 down payment within 24 hours of auction close, balance due within 1 week.

  We allow up to 30 days free storage if needed.

We will work with your shipper to make sure your car is safely loaded and on its way to you.

Amazon opens contest for The Grand Tour tickets in the US

Thu, Jul 7 2016

British enthusiasts already had the opportunity to win tickets to the first taping of The Grand Tour, and now Amazon has opened up a similar chance for customers in the US. In celebration of Prime Day, which starts today, customers in the US can enter The Grand Tour Prime Day Prize Draw. The prize includes travel, $200 to spend, accommodation, and a meet and greet with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. Customers that are interested fulfilling a childhood dream should visit Amazon's website and fill out the entry form soon as the draw closes on July 12. The Grand Tour will launch this fall as an exclusive for Amazon Prime members with the exact city locations for studio records set to be revealed later this summer. Amazon, however, did reveal that the trio will host shows in the UK, US, and Germany. So there's no need to get too upset if you don't win the draw. With Top Gear getting a major shakeup with the departure of Chris Evans, we're itching to see Clarkson, Hammond, and May behind the wheel of cars again. The trio, it seems, is also excited to get the new show rolling as Clarkson posted a drifty video on his Facebook page. The trio are currently in Italy filming a comparison between an Aston Martin DB11, a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and Rolls-Royce Dawn. The five-second clip has the Challenger Hellcat and DB11 drifting head-on into the camera crew, which is behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo.

Watch 14 hot rides take over concept car lawn at Pebble Beach

Sun, Aug 16 2015

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is an annual celebration of the beautiful, old cars that grace Monterey Car Week. But Monterey – and Pebble – features lots of newer metal, too, and that includes the concept lawn at Pebble Beach. Now, "concept lawn" isn't a totally accurate name anymore, and you'll see why in the list below. This year especially, plenty of production cars can be found in the area once reserved for the conceptual. Still, we're happy to see them. Here's what's featured this year: Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Audi R8 BAC Mono Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R Buick Avenir Galpin-Fisker Rocket Speedster Hyundai HCD-16 Vision G Coupe Icona Volcano Infiniti Q60 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 Maserati Ghibli McLaren 570S Rolls-Royce Wraith By our count, that's seven concepts out of fourteen cars. But it still makes for one hot group of metal. Check 'em out in the gallery above.
