Novi, Michigan, United States

Up for auction at "No Reserve" is a 1989 Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio Spider. Vin # ZARBA5563K1064990.
Clear Car Fax. Clear "Michigan" Title 91,560 Original Miles. I will be adding more pictures within the next few days. Due to an unexpected opportunity I am having to offer my 1989 Quadrifoglio Spider up for auction at "No Reserve". The Quadrifoglio was part of an estate and I was told that the owner purchased it off the showroom floor of the local Alfa dealer in Kentucky in 1989 with 8000 miles on it. It was kept in the same family for the entire ownership as it was conveyed to me. The Alfa has seen little use over the years showing only 91,000 miles. Has not been used for at the last year if not longer. Will need some general maintenance work as noted in the description below. For those that are not familiar with the Quadrifoglio Model, it was the top of the line model offered at the time. The Quadrifoglio came with a color coded factory "hard top", special "recaro" style seats and a factory body kit as well as special 15 inch "phone dial wheels". This example is completely stock down to the original factory shift knob and radio. The body is in good original condition as shown in the pictures. The paint on the Alfa is weak and really would benefit from a repaint. The body shows previous paint work that does not match very well. There are also numerous chips, cracking in the paint and scratches that have occurred over the years, including a good sized scratch on the right front fender as shown in the pictures. These imperfections in the paint do not show up very well in the pictures, but upon closer inspection paint condition is quite evident. The body itself is very solid with excellent panel gaps on the doors, trunk lid and hood. The floor pan is in good condition with no evidence of rust or damage. Rust is limited to a small "bubble" at the lower portion of the driver's side front fender and also there is a soft spot in the spare tire well. Hard Top has small 1 inch crack. Lower valance below rear bumper has 2 cracks in each corner - not very noticeable but worth mentioning. Has small "outie" dent from battery. Nose panel is in nice condition with no damage. Trunk carpet in very nice condition. The interior is in excellent original condition showing very little wear. The dash is very nice with a few small cracks near the defroster, but not the typical large cracks. The factory leather seats are in good condition. Both door panels are in nice condition however the driver's side needs new mounting clips. The dash itself as well as the center console are all in very nice condition as shown in the pictures. The original "red" carpet is in very nice condition as is the rear jump seat area. Has original convertible top that could use replacing. The original factory radio and power antenna both work fine. The 2 Liter engine starts up easily and runs quietly with no strange noises. As best as I can tell there has not been any major work done to the engine and I suspect that the head has never been off. With many Alfa's, there is some indication that the headgasket will need to be replaced at some point since I can see some oil in the overflow bottle. The Alfa does not have any noticeable oil leaks underneath. Gearbox seems fine with typical weak second gear syncro. Clutch pedal feels a little soft and may need to be bled, but does not have any issues getting into gear. Lights, blinkers, wipers & heater motor work fine. All lenses in good condition with no cracks or damage. Has new center section of the exhaust. Known issues: Needs tires Paint is weak Convertible top is original Gas lid cable needs replacing - can be opened from the outside. Rust spot on lower front fender Spare tire well has soft spot Small star crack in the windshield AC not hooked up Passenger side window regulator not working Misc. maintenance The Alfa Spider is being sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied. I cannot be held responsible for any errors or inaccuracies that may have been inadvertently been provided. Please have your finds in order prior to bidding. Shipping is up to the buyer to arrange. As stated, the Quad represents a wonderful opportunity for the Alfa enthusiast that is looking for a solid example at a low price. Comes with a clear Michigan title. Will need some general work/maintenance as noted in the description. The buyer should expect other normal wear and tear items to be addressed as would be expected of a 25 year old vintage sports car. Sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied. I have done my best to describe the Alfa to the best of my ability, however there may be some things that I may have missed. It is up to the buyer to do due diligence when making a purchase online. Do not make any assumptions about anything. Ask any questions that may not have been addressed. I am not responsible for any errors or erroneous misinformation. I will be adding more pictures within the next few days. For the motivated buyer, I will consider ending the auction early for a serious offer. "NO RESERVE AUCTION" The fine print: If you have 5 or less feedback transactions, you must contact me prior to bidding. A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 is due within 24 hours of the auction end. If the deposit is not received, the Alfa will be offered to the next highest bidder. The balance is due within 7 days of the auction end date. The car must be picked up within 10 days of the auction end date. A $10.00 per day storage fee will be charged after the 10 days unless prior arrangements have been made. I have sold several vintage cars to overseas buyers with the buyers being extremely pleased with the sale. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. |

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

Alfa Romeo 4C La Furiosa revealed by Lapo Elkann's Garage Italia
Sat, Nov 14 2015Visitors to the Dubai Motor Show who stopped by the Alfa Romeo stand were treated to this aesthetically modified 4C created by Garage Italia Customs. To make this particular example stand apart from an "ordinary" Alfa 4C, the customizers cloaked it in a velvet matte-finish red, similar to the original show car. The roof was left in exposed carbon fiber, fading into red, like the engine cover and brake calipers. The trim around the headlights, air vents, and side mirrors has been left in carbon fiber with a thin coat of candy red that leaves the weave exposed. The wheels are painted gold, and the interior is swathed in Alcantara. The creation was made for Alfa Romeo by the customizing firm started by Lapo Elkann. The eccentric brother of Fiat Chrysler chairman John Elkann is himself an heir to the Agnelli empire, and has played a variety of roles in the company - including brand promotion and the creation of the Gucci edition Cinquecento. Alongside fashion house Italia Independent, Lapo founded Garage Italia Customs to apply his unique sense of style and that of his team to models like the Fiat 500, Jeep Renegade, and Maserati Ghibli. Related Video: Milano, November 10th 2015 Garage Italia Customs in Dubai with Alfa Romeo 4C "La Furiosa" On the occasion of the 2015 Dubai International Motor Show, Garage Italia Customs presents a world premiere, La Furiosa, the 4C one-off created for Alfa Romeo. La Furiosa is the result of the meeting between the "Mechanics of Emotions" and the Style Center together with the Maestros of Garage Italia Customs. It is a unique model that combines the high level technical characteristics of this Alfa Romeo and the Tailor Made interventions of the Lapo Elkann team specialists. THE EXTERIORS The stage for the debut of this new creation by Carlo Borromeo - head of the Garage Italia Customs Style Centre – is the Alfa Romeo stand at the Dubai International Motor Show. Hence, La Furiosa is unveiled to the international press next to the Alfa Romeo 510 CV Giulia Quadrifoglio and the latest versions of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio, the Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe and the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. The aim of the Garage is to create a car which emphasises the 4C wild style with a strong and extraordinary aesthetic impact. Special toned-down painting characterises the external livery.
