1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce

Alfa Romeo produced the round tail for the US market only for two years, 1967 and 1969. This 1969 1750 Spider Veloce is a very good solid car. It has an older restoration and is still a very presentable car and with some cosmetic work, it could be a very nice car ready for the concours lawn.

The mechanicals on the car have recently been rebuilt. The motor and gearbox were rebuilt by Santo's Italian Car Service in Northridge, California. When it was rebuilt it received new pistons/liners, crankshaft was sent out, new oil pump, complete valve job (suraface, new seats, guides, valves, etc.), new water pump, new chain, and rebuilt SPICA fuel injection. At the time of the engine rebuild, the car also got a new clutch and pressure plate, and the transmission was rebuilt (new syncros and sliders). The front suspension was gone through by Santo's Italian Car Service last year. The car runs and drives fantastic. It always starts right away even after sitting for a week.

The paint on the car is still presentable but shows its use and age in a few areas highlighted in the photos on the link below. Some rocker repair and floor repair was done by the previous owner at some point. The work was done well and still looks good. The car is painted in a light green. It appears to have originally been silver. The dash is still silver so chaning it back to its original color won't require taking the interior apart. There are some dings and dents highlighted in photos in the link below. The chrome is in fair shape and shows its use.

Interior in is good overall condition. The dash has ZERO cracks and in in excellent condition. The floors are covered in a combination of black carpet and Alfa Romeo rubber mats. The seats were also redone by the previous owner and do not have any rips or tears. The convertible top is in excellent shape as is the rear plastic window. Door panels are original to the car as is the trunk mat.

If you would like to come see the car or have any questions that are not answered here, please feel free to call me Mon-Fri 8AM-6PM at (818) 701-1614.

If you are looking for shipping quotes, you can tell the shipper than pickup is from Northridge, CA 91324. It is the buyers responsibility to pay for and arrange shipping.

The car is sold in as is, where is condition with no warranties.

A $500.00 non-refundable deposit is due no later than 24 hours after the auction ends. Balance is to be paid for within 7 days after auction is over either by bank check or wire transfer.

Junkyard Gem: 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce

Sat, Jan 22 2022

During the middle-to-late 1970s, things got pretty grim for American car shoppers wishing to drive a (non-exotic) new European two-seat convertible. British Leyland would sell you a 1979 MGB, Spitfire, or TR7 at a good price, but you got only 67.5, 52.5, or 88.5 horsepower, respectively, in those cars (yes, BL claimed the half-horse in official ratings, because that's how the Malaise Era was) plus the Prince of Darkness riding shotgun. Fiat offered the 124 Sport Spider for a bit more than those British machines in '79, but that car had a mere 86 horses under the hood. That's where the Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce came in; for a bit more money, you got 111 fuel-injected horsepower and a car that still looked futuristic more than a decade after its introduction. Alfa Spider prices have gone way up in the last decade, so I don't see many of these cars in the self-service car graveyards I frequent. That makes today's Junkyard Gem, found in a yard near Denver, a fairly rare find. Someone yanked the cylinder head off, probably years ago, and then never finished whatever engine work had been planned. This is a common sight with vintage sports cars in junkyards. The 1994 Colorado State Parks pass shows that at least this Alfa was running 28 years back. Inside, there are many receipts for extensive mechanical work done during the 1980s. These cars were better-built than their British Leyland and Fiat rivals, but that doesn't mean they were easy to work on. How about getting a head-gasket job plus a bunch of other work done for just over 500 bucks? Even with inflation, that's a deal! At some point, someone sliced up the factory radio faceplate to install this 1980s Blaupunkt cassette deck. This looks like a CR-2001, which was high-end factory equipment in Porsches and BMWs around the time this Spider was new. The interior has some parts that look nice enough to be worth buying, so let's hope that some Front Range Alfa Romeo enthusiasts show up and score some nice pieces for their project cars. The MSRP on this car was $11,195, or about $45,700 today. The Fiat 124 Sport Spider went for $7,090, while the TR7 convertible cost $9,235. Meanwhile, a new 1979 Chevy Corvette with the optional L82 engine listed at $11,425 and had 225 horsepower; it also weighed 917 pounds more than the Alfa and had much more ponderous handling.

Alfa Romeo to go all-electric by 2027

Mon, Aug 9 2021

On an earnings report last week, Alfa Romeo parent company Stellantis tacked on some electrification plans for its 14 brands. One surprising piece of information: Alfa Romeo would be the first of them to go fully electric, and it'll happen by 2027. We've known that Alfa Romeo would eventually go electric, but it's a bit surprising to hear that Stellantis wants it to happen on such a short timeline, and that it would spearhead its EV push. Alfa Romeo has been one of the most protected brands in the Stellantis empire, and one of the most traditional as well. The often quirky but nevertheless beloved brand has long been a favorite among car enthusiasts. In fact, brand heritage is so important that back in 2014 the company opted to develop its own Spider rather than borrow a platform from the ND Miata (That car went to become the Fiat 124 instead). Stellantis didn't confirm what the first Alfa EV would be, but it could arrive in the form of a subcompact crossover about the size of a BMW X1. It could also share the platform with other Stellantis brands like Peugeot, Fiat and Jeep and is slated to debut in 2022 or 2023. In the meantime, Alfa Romeo is working on the Tonale plug-in hybrid electric, which was recently delayed. Reportedly, Stellantis head Jean-Philippe Imparato was not satisfied with the hybrid-electric system. The PHEV crossover will share a platform with an upcoming Jeep model as well. It should arrive in early 2022 if things stay on track from here. The express timeline also indicates that the new Stellantis STLA large-vehicle architecture will have to be ready before 2027. It's set to replace the sharp-handling rear-wheel-drive Giorgio platform that underpins the Giulia and Stelvio. And while it'll be shared across multiple Stellantis brands, Imparato has promised Alfa Romeo-badged cars will retain the qualities that have made the name so special. In the same report, Stellantis confirmed that Opel would go all-electric by 2028 and Fiat would follow by 2030.

Alfa Romeo to unveil Tonale at the Geneva Motor Show

Mon, Mar 4 2019

Alfa Romeo is bringing a new model to the Geneva Motor Show, and it's likely to be called the Tonale. This is as much as we know so far. The Tonale, the name of which is currently being propped onto the stage in Geneva, is expected to be a small SUV. But the vehicle's basis is being hotly debated right before it's scheduled to be revealed. The compact SUV was also spied on the show floor right now, and the photo leak ran on the "Masera" Facebook page. First seen with its daytime running lights glowing under the wraps, then completely uncovered, the Tonale seems to have a sharp, yet curvy design, with aggressive front detailing. Based on earlier information, we're also expecting the Tonale to be available as a plug-in hybrid. Earlier information called the compact SUV to be based on FCA's Small Wide platform, with Automotive News saying it's likely to be sharing technology with the Jeep Compass, which is expected to be built in Italy in the near future. Later on, a Greek site called AutoBlog.gr (no relation) theorized that the new SUV would be built on the Giorgio platform instead, which would make it more of a true Alfa Romeo and a scaled-down Stelvio instead. As Carscoops says, the Tonale name comes from a mountain pass not quite as tall as the Stelvio Pass. The size and dimensions of the spied Tonale could make it likely to ride on Small Wide, or the long-wheelbase version of the platform, as the Small Wide platform (in several variants) underpins both the Renegade, Compass, and both the Fiat 500X and 500L, just with different lengths. The overhangs, especially the front, are longer than on Jeeps, but for it to run on a cut-down Giorgio might be a stretch. Related Video:
