1978 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Iniezione Low Reserve California Car on 2040-cars
Burbank, California, United States
I bought this car to restore it but numerous side projects and planning for my wedding coming up takes up too much time and so Id like to pass her on to someone with a true love for these beauties who has the time for her. This car is a great restoration project. Good condition, few nicks and chips in the paint-- can be touched up, no rust or structural damage, rear bumper has been replaced with bumper from earlier Alfa Spider model (chrome), looks better IMO. Leaks a few drops of oil here and there from the lower oil pan gasket. This is an easy/cheap fix. This is the first fuel injected alfa spider. It uses the Spica mechanical fuel injection which was rebuilt by the previous owner and works well. There is a fuel pressure regulator and the idle does need to be adjusted as it seems like it gives the engine too much gas when starting. Has a Kill-Switch installed which needs to be held down while cranking in order to start (prevent theft etc) New Parts/Repairs:
The driver's side door handle needs to be repaired, i have the part already and its included. Also included is manuals and repair guides and a few extra parts. No RUST cancer etc. California car. Always been garaged or covered. Motor needs to be checked mechanically. No knocking, however cylinder #2 has low compression. This has to be dealt with prior to getting it smogged (please check your states smog laws ), I'm in California so the laws are the worst here. Even so, it turns on, and Runs. Has never overheated. I've driven this around and it has good oil pressure. Longest trip I've taken with it has been about a 2.5 hour trip and I didn't encounter issues. I will upload a video of it running and revving in idle soon. I registered and put the car in NON-OP so I could work on it, so there are NO fees etc, and the title is in my name. This car gets plenty of compliments from those who both know its history and even those that don't. Lots of car for the money and I think these are appreciating in value as are the Datsun Roadsters and MGs. Steering and handling is amazing. Car is super fun to drive around. I can ship anywhere, and can even get good rates for shipping since I've dealt with car brokers across the country. As with all used car sales- Car is AS IS WHERE IS, no refunds etc. Please read carefully including all details prior to bidding. Good luck bidding. |

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
Alfa Romeo returns to F1 racing by sponsoring Sauber for 2018
Tue, Feb 20 2018Doesn't it feel good to see the Alfa Romeo emblem proudly displayed on a Formula One car again? It's been 30 years since Alfa Romeo had anything to do with F1 cars, as in the late '80s the manufacturer supplied engines to Ligier and Osella. Alfa Romeo even developed the first modern Formula One V10 engine, but that ended up in a 164 Procar instead of Ligier race cars. After a 30-year hiatus, it was announced in late 2017 that Alfa Romeo's brand would return to F1 racing by sponsoring Sauber. There isn't an Alfa Romeo engine in the 2018 Sauber C37, as it uses a current Ferrari power unit instead and Alfa Romeo's involvement is strictly about FCA's sponsoring the Swiss racing team. The drivers for 2018 are Charles Leclerc and Marcus Ericsson. Jorg Zander, Sauber's technical director, says: "The car philosophy is much different to that of the C36. The aerodynamic concept has changed significantly, and the C37 has several new features in comparison to its predecessor. We are positive that the new concept offers us more opportunities and will help us to make improvements during the course of the season. The 2018 Ferrari engine will also give us a boost in terms of our performance. We hope that we will make progress with the C37 and that we are more competitive compared to 2017."
