I have a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce in English Green that I am parting out. The rust is pretty bad, as this vehicle sat outside and uncovered for a long time. Basically all the lower panels are rough. Side sills, lower rear quarter panels, both floor pans and the spare tire well have a lot of rust. The car itself was not running when I got it from the previous owner, and I replaced the battery, fuel lines, fuel pump and filters and the motor ran well, and it handled beautifully in the brief time I was able to drive it. I was hoping to fix it up, and spent some money before realizing the extent of the rust, so I bought 4 new tires, replaced the vacuum lines, stuff like that.

The interior is rough. No carpet, seats are rusted through, dashboard has a few big cracks. I have all the gauges, which function as intended. I have the console warning lights for sale too. Wiper switch, ash tray, etc.

All glass intact, windshield has a big wiper scratch. Doors are rust-free, interior door panels are pretty faded.

Lucky for me the car came with an OEM Alfa hard top from a newer model Spider. The outside of the top is in okay shape. There are a few deep scratches, but it is straight and dent free. A little bondo and a new coat of paint and it's perfect. All hardware works great. The interior of the top is in much better shape than the car, no tears/rips. There is a light, but my car didn't have a plug, so I don't know if it works.

Mechanically (without the rust), the car is in good shape, with a few fixable problems. The passenger spring seat is collapsing, so the car leans a little. The fuel tank needs to be cleaned and resealed.

I have five Cromodora Turbina wheels, which are in rough shape, but 4 of them have brand new (2013 date code) tires on them. They're 185 70 14's and fit the car great!

According to the previous owner, the transmission was rebuilt. When I got the car running I changed the motor oil, and the gear oil with Shell Spirax and it shifted nice and smooth. I have a good stack of service records (mostly from the 90's), as well as some photos of when the car was in much better shape (15-20 years ago). This car did suffer from the Alfa head gasket failure, with oil in the coolant.

I've have a lot of the small/medium parts already removed from the car, as well as the cylinder head. The block, trans, rear end, suspension, wheels, rear brakes are still on the car. I have everything except what is listed below.

I have already sold:

Ignition Switch
Aux Fuse Box
Sun Visors
Fuse panel cover
Radiator
Heater Core/levers/blower switch
Wiper Motor
Wiper Cowl

I have posted this car locally on Craigslist, as well as on AlfaBB.com, which may be more updated (link below to post).

Let me know what you need! I may have it listed already, so check my other auctions! --->>> http://www.ebay.com/sch/Parts-Accessories-/6028/m.html?_ssn=johns13193

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:

Alfa Romeo: Reports of 4C's death by 2020 aren't true

Wed, Jul 20 2016

The Alfa Romeo 4C is a purpose-built sports car that hasn't put up stellar sales figures in the US. As we found out, it's an uncompromising machine, which is probably one reason why the automaker is struggling to shift a large number of units. A recent report from Autoline, citing Auto Forecast Solutions, claims that Alfa is planning to axe the 4C Coupe and 4C Spider from its lineup by 2020. The report claims that the automaker plans to cancel the next generation of the 4C to focus on manufacturing new models that would have more sales potential. Alfa only managed to sell 309 units this year – that's only 11 more units than the Dodge Viper, which will be going out of production next year. When we questioned an Alfa Romeo spokesman on whether the 4C would be discontinued by 2020, he stated that no plans had been announced yet and referred us to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' five-year plan. The plan mentions two "specialty" models that Alfa plans to introduce between 2017 and 2020. It's not clear whether these models would be in addition to or act as direct replacements for the 4C Coupe and 4C Spider. There's also a possibility that the upcoming models would serve the same purpose as the 4C models, but carry different names. The 4C marked Alfa's return to the US since it left in the 1990s. As part of the automaker's comeback, it plans to put a sports sedan, in the form of the Alfa Romeo Giulia, up against the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3 Series later this year. Related Video:

Alfa Romeo Giulia runs the Nurburgring

Sat, Aug 22 2015

Usually when spying a pre-production car, the goal is to figure out what it looks like underneath the camouflage. However, that's not a concern with his video of a heavily concealed Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio because the design was already fully revealed. Instead, this is an opportunity to listen to the upcoming sports sedan lapping the Nurburgring. For a vehicle with just 2.5 years of development by only 11 people, the Giulia certainly makes all the right noises. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine has a growling note as the sedan speeds away, and there's no audible turbo whistle – at least in this clip. The sound is angry but still somewhat subdued for a mill making 510 horsepower. The test driver here is really pushing things, and the tires are squealing through practically every corner. The Alfa's rear end even steps out a little a few times. The Giulia is slated to arrive in the US in the first half of 2016. In the meantime, we look forward to seeing the sedan again at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, where some additional powertrains are rumored to debut. Related Video:
