1974 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Convertible 2-door 2.0l *no Reserve!!! on 2040-cars
Ormond Beach, Florida, United States
I am in my seventies and it is time to sell
my driver quality Alfa Romeo. Last fall I turned the car over to an experienced
Alfa technician with the instructions to properly mechanically prep this
vehicle for an eventual sale. Items that were fixed and/or improved
include (but are not limited to) new front seal and pulley plus injection pump
belt, new brake master cylinder and rubber wheel hoses, new high performance
electronic ignition (RML?), new Bosch coil, new Bosch electric fuel pump and
related fuel lines, new emergency brake cable and related hardware and, of
course, all associated fluids and filters. Total cost for parts and labor (will
include receipt) was $3267.43!!! After having worked on the car and having
driven the car for a couple of days, the mechanic is convinced the
odometer miles are true. The cockpit of the Alfa is in very nice, mostly
original and in highly detailed condition. It still has the original rubber
mats throughout. The floors are solid and I applied 3m sound control mats
beneath the rubber. The door panels are straight and door jambs present very
well. The engine compartment is clean and in original unaltered condition. The
luggage compartment is also very clean, nicely detailed and it houses an almost
new spare tire mounted on a bead blasted and refinished steel rim. The original
working jack has been refinished along with the factory lug wrench. This is a
color change car having been painted in base/clear coat some years ago by a
previous owner. The original color was a factory off white (see photo of
luggage compartment without mat). The paint job, not show quality, still shines
nicely. The convertible top is an older vinyl one that is still weather tight. I
have always kept the top folded beneath the boot cover having only driven the
car in good weather. The tires are in very good condition, showing little tread
wear. Included in the sale are two original ignition keys, an original owner's
manual, a service manual, the original distributor and cap, the original coil,
new metal side emblems and a new reproduction chrome side view mirror with Alfa
Romeo logo (from International Auto Parts). The Alfa will need rocker panel
work in time (a previous owner had some correction done but not to a high
standard). Repair panels were fabricated rather than using factory
replacements. These things are taken into consideration by offering the car at
a rather low and NO RESERVE starting bid (I have two and a half times that
amount invested). The Alfa starts up, runs, drives and stops extremely well. Clutch
activity and shifting is very good (second gear is no problem after brief
gearbox warm-up). The car is garage kept and covered when it is not in use (see
picture) and cover is included with sale. |

Michael Schumacher's son Mick to test with Ferrari and Alfa Romeo in F1
Tue, Mar 26 2019LONDON — Mick Schumacher, son of seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, will test with Ferrari and Alfa Romeo in Bahrain next week, the Formula One teams announced on Tuesday. The German, who makes his Formula Two debut in Bahrain this weekend with the Prema team, will test Ferrari's F90 car at the Sakhir circuit on April 2 after the grand prix there. The 19-year-old, who won the European F3 title last year and is a member of Ferrari's young driver academy, will also test Alfa Romeo's new car on the Wednesday. "I am really looking forward to what I'm sure will be a great experience," he said. "But for the moment, I am consciously putting all thoughts of the test to one side, because I am also very much looking forward to competing in my first F2 race and would like to focus 100 percent on the weekend to come." Britain's Callum Ilott, who is also in Formula Two this season and is another Ferrari academy member, will make his F1 test debut with Ferrari-powered Alfa in Barcelona in May after the Spanish Grand Prix. Schumacher's father, who has not been seen in public since suffering severe head injuries in a skiing accident in 2013, won five of his record seven Formula One titles with the Italian team between 2000-04 and holds the record of 91 wins. Ferrari principal Mattia Binotto said the team's current driver Charles Leclerc was proof of the worth of the academy as a high level training program for talented youngsters. "Mick, who joined the FDA in January, and Callum, who has been with us since 2017, are definitely drivers on their way up," he said. "I believe that driving the SF90 in an official setting such as the tests in Bahrain and Barcelona can be very useful at this stage in their career."

Alfa Romeo recalls Giulia and Stelvio — cruise control can go haywire
Fri, Mar 8 2019DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler is recalling more than 60,000 cars and SUVs worldwide because they can keep going on cruise control or accelerate even after a driver taps the brakes. The recall covers certain Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio models from 2017 through 2019. The company says a software error caused the problem, and it's advising people not to use the adaptive cruise control until it's repaired. The feature keeps moving vehicles a set distance from the cars in front of them. Fiat Chrysler says it's not aware of any crashes or injuries from the problem. Adaptive cruise control can still be turned off by stepping on the brakes for a longer time. Owners will be notified next month when they can schedule an update to the brake system software.
Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
