Relisting for lower price!

I bought my Spider in 1994 from a dentist in Scottsdale, AZ. I have owned it for nearly twenty years and am only the third owner. This Spider was in superb condition when I bought it, and it is in better condition today. It has been carefully driven regularly. It has always been garaged. I lived in the Phoenix area for the first fourteen years of my ownership and in Dallas for the last five years - - NO RUST! Two months ago, I was transferred to the LA area and am forced to sell due to garage space limitations.

I have taken exquisite care of it, investing in long term mechanical and aesthetic restorations. I have personally overseen all phases of its care, having it serviced exclusively by handpicked Alfa Romeo specialists. No expenses were spared to maintain it in the condition it was when it left the factory. I never cut corners in the maintenance and restoration and never hesitated to pay top dollar for all parts and services. For twenty years, it has been “my baby.” I have all service receipts since 1994, and the original owner’s manual.

This low-miles Spider is an EXTREMELY rare find in this condition, in absolutely top shape (both in appearance and mechanical), an Alfa that has been lovingly cared for, and always returned to my fully-enclosed garage. This car is a true “gem.”

Small touches enhance an older, sought-after car to an outstanding classic machine, and this is it. This is an exceptional find, an '84 Alfa that has been METICULOUSLY maintained, cared for, zealously serviced, regularly driven and enjoyed, but protected over the years from the elements. Here are some small touches:

Waxed at least quarterly with Zaino Show Car Polish products (whether it needed it or not!).
Interior leather cleaned and treated quarterly.
The fine engine starts instantly, cold or hot.
Shifts smooth as silk.
Though not required, premium gas was always used.
Engine always allowed to warm up before driving.

In 2012/2013, the following mechanical, maintenance, and preventive maintenance services were performed by Alfa Romeo experts. As both the car and I got older, I decided not to wait for things to wear out due to age.

Share price falls on skepticism of Chrysler-Fiat five-year plan

Thu, 08 May 2014

Following this week's Fiat Chrysler extravaganza, where the Italian-American manufacturer announced its plans for the next five years, the Autoblog staff was cautiously optimistic of the company's future. Investors? Not so much.
Fiat saw its shares tumble 12 percent in Wednesday's trading, falling from 8.67 euros ($12.06 at today's rates) to 7.44 euros ($10.35) as of this writing, with blame partly going to the Italian half of the FCA marriage, which recorded a pretty significant drop in profits during the first quarter of this year.
The plan, which will cost around $77 billion over the next several years, is facing criticism from investors thanks in part to a 1.4-percent drop in Fiat's first-quarter profits, to 622 million euros ($862 million). That figure is also short of Bloomberg analysts' projections, which predicted $1.18 billion in profits before taxes, interest and one-time items.

Alfa Romeo is bringing something deliciously loud to Geneva

Mon, Feb 24 2020

Alfa Romeo will risk running afoul of Switzerland's engine noise regulations by bringing something deliciously loud to the 2020 Geneva Motor Show. The preview video it posted on Twitter asks more questions than it answers. The seven-second flick announces that Alfa Romeo, one of Italy's oldest automakers, is about to make "a momentous comeback." It displays the company's logo, notes the location of its booth in the Palexpo convention center, and ends on the sound of what we're pretty sure is a V6 engine exploring the upper echelons of its rev range. There's no mention of which car the six-cylinder is in, let alone whether it's new or updated. sound on See you at #GIMSSWISS. #AlfaRomeo pic.twitter.com/yIUPYEiTkj — Alfa_Romeo (@alfa_romeo) February 22, 2020 This is where facts end and speculation begins. Alfa planned to expand its range with a two-door version of the Giulia that would have resurrected the GTV name and a flagship sports car tentatively called 8C, but both models were allegedly canceled in 2019. The 4C is nearing the end of life cycle, so the odds of seeing a new variant of it are low. Besides, its engine bay is far too small to house a six-cylinder engine like the Giulia's 2.9-liter unit. Before the teaser video emerged, we expected Alfa's next new model would be the production version of the Tonale concept unveiled at the 2019 edition of the Geneva show. The crossover is well on its way to production, and its front end has changed quite a bit in the past 12 months, but we don't think it will reach showrooms with a race car-like exhaust note; electrified technology will likely make it one of the quieter members of the Alfa lineup. This leaves us with two credible possibilities. First, rumors of a more powerful Giulia positioned above the Quadrifoglio model have floated around the internet for years and they plainly refuse to die. It would likely wear the heritage-packed GTA nameplate and arrive as a more track-oriented sedan in the vein of Mercedes-AMG's Black Series cars. If that's the case, expect copious carbon fiber, a stripped-out interior, and a full body kit. Second, Alfa could simply kick off its 110th birthday celebrations in Geneva by showing a concept built to mark the occasion. We'll know for sure when the show opens its doors to the press on March 3. Related Video:     Geneva Motor Show Alfa Romeo Luxury Performance

Lightly-camouflaged Alfa Romeo Stelvio snapped testing

Mon, Oct 24 2016

With the Alfa Romeo Stelvio's expected reveal date at the Los Angeles Auto Show quickly approaching, we're not surprised to see prototypes testing in broad daylight with less and less camouflage. But even these latest spy shots make it difficult to determine details about the upcoming SUV. Just like before the headlights are disguised by heavy tape, but appear to be nearly identical to the ones found on the Giulia sedan. There's also a small v-shaped grille at the front with two rectangular ones on the bottom of the front fascia. The hood has three oddly-shaped ridges, but those are probably more camo to disguise actual creases. Previous SUVs were spotted with much smaller ruffles on the hood. The overall profile of the prototype remains the same as the ones we've spotted earlier with a design that mimics the Porsche Macan. The bulbous rear end of the SUV hasn't changed much either. The familiar taillights are still taped off, but appear to be taken straight from the Giulia. The massive exhaust tips, though, are new and would be more at home on a sports car. With the Stelvio expected to get the same gasoline and diesel powertrains as the Giulia, the weapon-sized exhaust tips on the prototype hint towards the possibility of the SUV getting the 2.9-liter V6 from the Giulia Quadrifoglio.
