Red 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Convertible Roadster, 2 door, manual 5 speed. I purchased in San Diego CA and shipped it to MA on an enclosed carrier. NOT A PROJECT CAR. It has never been snowed on, or driven in salt on roads. Rust free. Always starts right up. Runs and drives well. It has spent winters inside and covered. Can handle the highway. Black and gray interior, power windows, approximately 57,000 original miles. Has AM/FM/CD player, 4 new pioneer speakers, and new black interior carpeting last season. I have only put about 3000 miles on it since I purchased it in CA several years ago. The paint is bright red, there are a few light scratches that could be buffed out by an auto body shop, and one small patch of darker red about 2inx1in on the passenger door. The dashboard has the customary cover. The original cover underneath has the characteristic cracking in the vinyl but is not noticeable with the cover. The Alfa has never been in an accident and has a clear windshield. The pictures make the paint look faded but it is not, its just the sun glare on the phone lens. This car does not have a/c, or a spare tire/jack. The car is currently on the road with a current inspection, plates, and registration. There is an odometer disclosure because the speedometer and odometer are not currently working. I'm selling the car because I don't; get to use it as much as I'd like and I'm looking to downsize my personal expenses, otherwise I'd keep it, its a head turner and fun to drive especially on country roads.

Four New Tires
New Tie Rod Ends
New Pitman Arm
New Brake Master Cylinder

Fiat reconsidering Mazda-based Alfa Romeo roadster? [w/poll]
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Alfa giveth and Alfa taketh away. With apologies to Job (he has gone through a lot, after all), that's how things are looking at the Italian automaker - whether it's the promise of new products or its impending return to the North American market. But it's especially true when it comes to new roadsters.
While Alfa Romeo is expected to unveil the 4C Spider at the Geneva Motor Show this week, reports are now suggesting that its other roadster project is being called into question. That project is a joint venture between Fiat and Mazda, which was set to produce a version of its next MX-5 Miata as an Alfa Romeo, and was even changing the design to accommodate Alfa's requirements.
Now it appears, however, that the whole project in doubt. The problem seems to stem from Sergio Marchionne's pronouncements that, as long as he's in charge, there won't be an Alfa Romeo built outside of Italy.
Share price falls on skepticism of Chrysler-Fiat five-year plan
Thu, 08 May 2014Following 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.
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
