1986 Alfa Romeo Sipider Quadrifoglio You Don't Want Any Later, Last Good Year on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
|
You don't want an Alfa Spider beyond 1986 because they started to get messy, starting with the bigger fuse box that your left foot would hit every time you pushed in the clutch unless you were really careful. I had the front clip painted with PPG original Alfa red, code 5 something, can't remember at the moment and I have the rest of the Gallon. Very expensive paint. I even have a gallon of the same code paint from another manufacturer. Koni's on the front and I have new ones for rear in the box. I have quite a few parts for this car, some are even nos oem that you can't even get repros of. It runs strong, good trans, brakes, etc. I took out the A/C when I did the radiator and just kept the electric fan hooked up to A/C switch. Not that I have ever even in the remotest needed to turn it on. Warms up fast and stays cool in all weather. I have all the A/C parts. No cut hoses!! Speedo works but Odometer does not. I have all the missing parts that are not shown in the pics. Original Radio pouch, extra soft top frame, NOS OEM in original box ash tray, smaller wooden Nardi type steering wheel, which is a blessing for us taller guys. Great battery, starts up first time every time, no matter how long it has been sitting. This is a good one, you can tell by how it feels going down the road. No major wreaks ever!! All fuel lines were replaced two years ago. Driveshaft was attended to as well. All 5 Quad wheels. No hard top. It has been on non-op for the past year, but I start it up all the time when I go to my Mom's house and drive it up and back the driveway. Tires were new 4 or 5 years ago and have very little miles on them. Listed mileage is approximate. I will update later. It is in the Los Angeles Craigslist at the moment. I am motivated to sell, but anything under $4800 does not get the parts. |

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
Marchionne offers belated apology for 'wop engine' comment
Wed, 22 May 2013Automotive News reports Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has issued a written apology for his comments regarding his decision to stick with an Italian engine for the upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C. As you may recall, back in January, Marchionne was quoted as saying, "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it has to be a wop engine." The CEO penned an apology to the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition for using the racial epithet, saying that he made the comment in jest. Marchionne also said he realizes his remarks were unacceptable.
ONE VOICE, an organization aimed at fighting discrimination and stereotyping of Italian Americans, thanked Marchionne, Chrysler and Fiat for the apology. Marchionne is an Italian-born Canadian citizen, and he's gotten in trouble for other comments in the past. In 2011, he called high interest rates Chrysler was paying to the Canadian government "shyster rates." He apologized a day later.
Fiat Chrysler target 850k sales in China by 2018
Sun, 11 May 2014Behind the vanguard of numerous Jeep models, two Chryslers, a smattering of Fiats and Alfa Romeos and local production through a joint venture with Guangzhou Automotive Group (GAG), Fiat Chrysler wants to increase sales in China more than six-fold by 2018. The group sold 130,000 cars in China in 2013, the aim for 2018 being 850,000 cars.
Ultimately it's expected that the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Wrangler, Renegade, the coming Grand Wagoneer and a sub-Renegade-sized crossover will either be built in or exported to the People's Republic. The Chrysler Town & Country and 300 will join the export list in 2016 and 2018 respectively, according to a report in Automotive News.
With a number of those vehicles not in production or perhaps even envisaged yet, and others not due on the local market until 2018, it will be interesting to see how Fiat Chrysler plans to achieve the target in the specified timeframe. The joint venture with GAG builds two products now, the Dodge Dart-based Fiat Viaggio launched two years ago - supposedly designed just for China - and the just-launched Fiat Ottimo, a hatchback version of the Viaggio. Fiat projected 300,000 Viagio sales in its first two years, that number has been adjusted downward to 94,000 and there doesn't appear to be an analyst alive that sees a good future for Fiat in China's overrun mainstream market. Still, last year's 130,000 group sales in China is a huge jump from 2012 sales of 66,000 units, but less than half the 300,000 units it projected.
