MORE PICTURES: http://s466.photobucket.com/user/oita-dow/media/ALFA%20SPIDER/alfa014.jpg.html PLEASE IGNORE THE DATE STAMP ON THE PICTURES - THEY WERE TAKEN RECENTLY. Here is an excellent true survivor car. This unmolested and virtually rust-free (a magnet sticks to every square inch) car starts right up and runs fine with an amazing exhaust note, especially when you start winding her out. I would confidently drive this car on short errands or long road trips. The car certainly appears to have had very little average annual mileage since 1976. The car was manufactured in August 1976 and is titled as a 1977 model year. These unit-body constructed cars handle very well, and are rattle free and solid. With this 5-speed car you are never forced to run at high RPM. Passing power is always on tap with a downshift from 5th to 4th. 5th gear is basically overdrive - no higher gear is needed. The included Alfa Romero factory hard top still has the steel Alfa Romeo tag and is in excellent condition with only one noticeable scratch in the vinyl. The glass on both the hard top and the rest of the car is very good to excellent. The soft top looks new and has an excellent rear window. The five original Alfa Romeo aluminum wheels are included as is a spare tire, a chrome luggage rack, the original jack, the under-dash air conditioning unit and the compressor (disconnected), other odds and ends, an owners manual and receipts totaling well over $2,000. The rotor, cap, wires and plugs are new. The alternator is about 1 year old; a receipt is included. The leather seats are decent- there is a small hole in the passenger seat and some wear showing here and there. There is a small crack in the dash behind the speedometer; easy to miss. The passenger side wiper needs a new rubber blade. The dual side draft Weber carbs look and work great. This car came up from Tennessee where it was originally purchased and where I was told it spent approximately the first 20 years of its life. It then spent the remainder of time here in Dallas, PA where it was only driven in dry summer weather. The original owner and 2nd owner were relatives; I was told I purchased the car from the 2nd owner, making me the 3rd owner. The body has a some minor dents, dings and scratches etc. but is extremely straight. It is not quite a show winner but wouldn't require too much to be one. There is a spot on the hood that looks like a small split in the paint, perhaps from engine heat. Driving, signal, parking and brake lamps all work but the signal flasher isn't working so I have to flash them manually with the lever. There is a small dent followed by a scratch touched up with matching paint on the right side rear fender lip that looks like a very minor mishap that someone attempted to repair but didn't do a very good job. The floors are excellent as is the under side of the car. There are a few small holes in the spare tire well which will be easy to repair if desired - to stop further rust I painted the well with a rust-preventative primer and paint, but there is no filler in there. As a matter of fact, other than the small dent in the right rear fender flare lip where an amateur repair was attempted. I found only one small paint bubble that is behind the right front wheel but I do not believe it is indicative of any major rocker rust as they are extremely solid and all smooth steel - I found no where a magnet won't stick. The temperature gauge and fuel gauge/low fuel warning lamp work fine. The heat and defrost/fan and wipers all work as intended. Please note: the front turn signals shown in the bumper-less pictures are obviously not original - I added them when I removed the rubber bumpers to save weight and have a more vintage look. The original bumpers have turn signals built in and are included. The turn signals shown will be included if desired. My mechanic friend told me cylinder compression is good. The included owners manual is an original 1975 model year, but a downloaded copy of a 1977 manual is included as is one set of original keys. I only have one good battery for my project cars - please bring a battery with you if you intend to drive it home; I can't include a battery. Winning bidder is buying an great, virtually rust free, straight, solid classic car.

SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. In addition to items disclosed in the above description, here are some items which can use some attention if so desired: 1. The speedometer has stopped working - I removed the speedometer cable from the back of the speedometer and it looks like the tip of the piece that enters the back of the speedometer may have broken. The mileage on the speedometer is 53,261 and the title reads 53,219. I don't know the actual mileage so I marked 100,000 in the mileage section of the description although I doubt very much it is anywhere near that number. 2. The gas tank drips if it is more than apx. 1/3 full. I do not know where the drip comes from but I have to place a piece of cardboard on the floor if I overfill the tank. I simply don't fill it more than 1/3 full. 3. The car uses some oil (not a lot) and will occasionally smoke a little, but the car runs great. I was told to switch to a slightly thicker grade of oil since valve-guide blow by is common for these cars, but I haven't bothered because the occasional smoke doesn't bother me. 4. The oil pressure gauge isn't working, it's most likely just the sending unit. A NON-REFUNDABLE $250 DEPOSIT VIA PAYPAL IS DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF WINNING THE AUCTION. THIS $250 DEPOSIT IS NON-REFUNDABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE DEPOSIT YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE CAR SO PLEASE DON'T BID IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE DEPOSIT MONEY AVAILABLE. PAYMENT OF BALANCE (BY CERTIFIED CHECK, WIRE TRANSFER, OR CASH - NO PAYPAL FOR THE BALANCE) IS DUE WITHIN TEN DAYS OF WINNING THE AUCTION.
YOU WILL HAVE 10 DAYS THE TO PICK UP THE CAR UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE AGREED TO FOR GOOD CAUSE. Thank you.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia starts at $38,990, or $73,595 for the Quadrifoglio
Thu, Dec 8 2016Although the 4C has been on sale for more than a year, Alfa Romeo's US comeback tour really starts with the all-new Giulia. The car goes on sale this month and is expected to compete head to head with sport sedan competition from Germany, England, Japan, and America. The automaker released details on Giulia trims and pricing, and it appears to be right in the mix with the competition. The new Alfa Romeo Giulia starts at $38,990 with destination. While that's on the high side of its class, it's still right in the mix. All of the competition falls between the $34,445 BMW 3-Series and the $40,425 Mercedes-Benz C300. Where the Giulia really shines at this price point is performance, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that generates 280 horsepower and 306 pound-feet of torque. Alfa claims a 5.1 second 0-60 mph time for the base model, which trounces the competition. The big bad Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio starts at $73,595 with destination. That's quite a bit more than the BMW M3 and Cadillac ATS-V, but it's right on par with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S Sedan. The four-leaf clover has a 2.9-liter biturbo V6 that turns out 505 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. That's good for a 3.8 second 0-60 mph and a record-setting 7:32 Nurburgring lap time, if you care about such things. The standard Giulia and Giulia Ti ($40,990) are available with FCA's Q4 all-wheel-drive system for an extra $2,000. The Giulia Ti is available with Ti Lusso and Ti Sport packages for $2,250 each. Think of the Ti Sport as the Quadrifoglio light and the Ti Lusso as the comfortable and relaxed model. All versions of the Giulia come equipped with an 8-speed automatic, and Alfa Romeo currently has no plans to offer a stick shift in the US. The Giulia Quadrifoglio goes on sale this month, with the rest of the lineup hitting showrooms next month. If shoppers can look through the vast competition for what on paper is the sportiest of small sport sedans on the market, Alfa may be here to stay. Related Video:
Editors' Choice: Top Five 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Debuts
Thu, Sep 17 2015Consider the 2015-16 auto show season officially kicked off. The Frankfurt Motor Show offered a great look at the newest crop of production cars and conceptual machines, and brought some old favorites back into the spotlight for a closer look. (The Alfa Romeo Giulia, for example, debuted in June, but this was the first time most of us saw it.) Now that the dust has settled and we're all on flights back to the US, our editors cast their votes for their personal favorites from the Frankfurt show. These are the cars we truly loved seeing the most. But unlike other shows, there was no one runaway winner – all of the Top Five received positive praise from our team. We won't spoil the results, though. Scroll down to see what we liked most from this year's Frankfurt expo. 5th Place – MERCEDES-BENZ IAA CONCEPT View 12 Photos MIKE AUSTIN: The clean lines on this concept have me excited for a more elegant beauty to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Next to the Concept IAA, the lovely S-Class Coupe looks like an overstyled barge. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Yeah, the extendable rear is neat and all, but I'm more interested in the front-end styling of this one. It looks like the Tron version of a 300SL, in a good way. I'm hopeful it portends the future of Mercedes design. STEVEN EWING: I was super impressed when Mercedes said that, with the rear end extended, this concept has a drag coefficient of just 0.19. That's crazy aerodynamic. I'm not head-over-heels about the styling, but I think the lessons learned from this concept are really important, and will play a huge role in the future of Mercedes' products. 4th Place – ALFA ROMEO GIULIA View 15 Photos SEYTH MIERSMA: I can hardly express how in love with this car I am. The styling feels creative, modern, and evocative, without going over the top. The proposed performance is spectacular. And the Alfa badge speaks to a legacy of romantic motoring. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Pretty Italian car makes big promises and will probably deliver on about three quarters of them. I think that will still be enough for me. JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: I'm really intrigued by the Giulia. It looks great, sounds awesome, and I'm expecting it to have a load more character than its German rivals. I hope I'm not disappointed. 3rd Place – JAGUAR F-PACE View 15 Photos GREG MIGLIORE: It's the first SUV for Jaguar, and I think they nailed the design, capability, and electronics. It's the right car at the right time.
Alfa Romeo could reportedly bring Sauber F1 tech to its road cars
Tue, Feb 19 2019In the summer of 2018, Alfa Romeo laid out its five-year plan, only weeks before former Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) CEO Sergio Marchionne passed away. Alfa ambitiously projected several new vehicles of various shapes, sizes and performance levels but gave only vague details. A new report from Piston Heads adds a layer of color to the timeline, suggesting one or more of these upcoming rides could feature influence from Alfa Romeo's Formula 1 partner Sauber. PistonHeads.com recently had the chance to chop it up with Sauber Team Principal Frederic Vasseur at the F1 pre-season sessions in Barcelona, where Alfa Romeo and Sauber were testing out their just-unveiled 2019 car. According to the brief conversation, Alfa and Sauber have collaborations in the works beyond the paddock. "We are already working on another project together and you will see the result quite soon," Vasseur told PH. "It's a huge opportunity for us, but it will involve only the guys at the factory in Switzerland, as the trackside guys are focussed on the racing." Vasseur later tipped that they might have several projects in development. Without any more details, there's a lot of room for speculation, so let's quickly unpack what Alfa has already admitted to be planning. In addition to two new SUVs that will launch in the upcoming years, the performance-minded Italian brand said it would resurrect two well-known and highly desirable nameplates: 8C and GTV. Both cars will reportedly be hybrids, with the 8C serving as a halo mid-engined supercar, while the GTV will essentially be a Giulia coupe, complete with an eventual Quadrifoglio variant. Considering how great and high-powered the current Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglios already are, it seems unlikely these projects would deal with those current models. It's possible Sauber is helping Alfa Romeo with the GTV, as previous reports suggested the two-door will have F1-derived technology, but it is unclear if the coupe is coming "quite soon." It's also possible that Sauber is collaborating with Alfa on all of its upcoming performance electrification and hybrid technology. For now, it's a guessing game, but if the reports are accurate, we won't have to wait much longer to learn more.
