Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This cute little Italian sports car is perfect for those with a passion for driving. Those leaf strewn backroads of Fall will beckon you around every turn. I bought this car in June 2004 with 70,000 miles on it. Now 9 years later and only 3,000 more miles it is time to part. Twisting the key brings the Spider's all-aluminium twin-cam two-litre highly-spirited inline four to life. (Temple of VTEC worshippers may not wish to note that the Alfa Romeo Spider was the first production car to use variable valve timing back in 1980, beating Honda's V-Tec system by almost ten years.) The Alfa's Twin-Cam engine, produces 115 horsepower a bit past 5,000 rpm, and 120 lbs. ft. of torque just before 3,000 rpm. Unlike the Gregorian crescendo of most modern engines, the Alfa's four roars like a wounded beast, with just enough thrash to let you know its mechanical heart is beating with the explosive deaths of millions of hydrocarbons."

I have had many performance upgrades installed by European Auto Specialsits in Cincinnati (repairs & performance upgrades alone over $8500) including:

Performance headers and performance muffler (entire exhaust system from headers to tailpipe replaced including new catalytic converter). Performance Bilstein shocks and performance springs, larger performance rear sway bar. Cross-drilled rotors. All bushings replaced with polyurethane bushings.

Exhaustive maintenance & repairs:

Plugs & wires, cap & rotor, air filter, fuel filter, passenger window motor, wiper motor, heater motor, changed all fluids (coolant, clutch, brake, engine, transmission) including rear end limited slip additive, headlight switch. New driveshaft components: both U joints, center support, center bearing, flex disc. Alignment performed. Emergency brake cable replaced, all cooling hoses replaced. Door stops replaced. New ignition switch, replaced radio and replaced all 4 speakers and added 250W Alpine amp. 3-spoke wood steering wheel.

Total suspension rebuild:

Center mount bushing kit, shock bushing kit, shock bushing kit, trunion arm bushing kit, rear anti roll bar kit, training arm kit, diff trunion kit, spring set, performance swaybar, poly cater bushing, control arms, bushing inn lower arms, lower ball joints, tie rod ends, front & rear brake hoses, shocks.

Summary:

As the pictures note this car is in excellent mechanical condition after extensive maintenance and performance upgrades. Although not perfect, I have done the heavy lifting and you are well on your way toward an Italian weekend drop top backroad cruiser. Body work due to rust (see pictures) is required. Lastly, the heater motor which was replaced has since failed and needs to be replaced and the speedometer stopped functioning sometime this year but I only drove it for the first time a few weeks ago.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.

Chrysler appoints new heads of Alfa Romeo and Ram

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

Chrysler has announced to two key appointments to its senior leadership, both of them taking immediate effect. First up is Reid Bigland, who has been named head of the Alfa Romeo brand for North America. Bigland has served until now as head of the Ram Truck brand, a portfolio he now hands over to Robert Hegbloom, who had served until now as its director.
As a result of the appointments, both Bigland and Hegbloom will take up seats on Chrysler's NAFTA Leadership Team, and Bigland will also join the Fiat Chrysler Group Executive Council - the highest decision-making body in the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire.
As per Sergio Marchionne's leadership style, Bigland will continue to serve in two major capacities, maintaining his role as president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Other senior executives who hold multiple key portfolios include Harald Wester (who serves as the group's Chief Technology Officer and also overseas Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Abarth), Olivier Francois (group Chief Marketing Officer and head of the Fiat brand) and Michael Manley (head of the Asia-Pacific region and the Jeep brand).

Marchionne threatens to move Alfa production out of Italy

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne was unsurprisingly frank when asked by reporters about potential investments in Italian manufacturing for Alfa Romeo and Maserati, giving the Italian government the ultimatum, "Italy should decide if they want [Alfa Romeo's relaunch] to happen here or not as Fiat and Chrysler have several alternatives." Them's fightin' words.
Fiat's issue with the government stems directly from its courtroom clashes with the Fiom labor union. The two are currently embroiled in proceedings over longer shifts and shorter breaks, as Fiom has so far refused to sign a new contract citing revised labor laws that it says are anti-union.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat will be spending over $2.5 billion on development of eight new Alfas and six new Maseratis, in a bid to wrest some of the luxury pie away from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. But that's only going to happen if the government is willing to play ball and make life easier on Fiat.
