1979 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce For Parts on 2040-cars
Havertown, Pennsylvania, United States
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 |

Fiat gets into the classics game with 'Reloaded by Creators' program
Fri, Feb 9 2018Classic vehicles help modern buyers make new connections to a carmaker's modern offerings. That's why in little more than a month we've seen Jaguar announce a continuation run of the D-Type, Porsche get a show at the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles, Land Rover plan to restore a Series I, and Jay Leno celebrate the 1942 Dodge Carryall. Fiat Chrysler already has a heritage division, but the vintage department takes a new step into its history with the "Reloaded by Creators" service. Said to be inspired by retail programs at museums, Reloaded by Creators will see FCA Heritage source and buy noteworthy classics from the Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Lancia brands, restore them to original spec, then sell them to collectors. When Roberto Giolito, head of FCA Heritage, broke the news at Retromobile in Paris, he also revealed the first five offerings: three "ultimate classics" in the Alfa Spider IV serie (1991), Lancia Fulvia Coupe Montecarlo (1973), Spidereuropa Pininfarina (1981), and two custom cars in the Alfa Romeo SZ (1989) and Lancia Appia Coupe (1959). The ultimate classics represent the last of their kind to be built, not necessarily according to model year, but with respect to design and engineering - no major model changes followed. The Lancia Fulvia Coupe ceased production in 1976; the limited edition 1973 Montecarlo model celebrated the car's victory in the 1972 Montecarlo Rally and still wears the original license plates. The 1981 Spidereuropa Pininfarina comes from the beginning of the end of production; after building the Fiat 124 Sport Spider for US-only sale from 1975 to 1983, Pininfarina resumed manufacture in Europe in 1982 and bestowed the new name. The Alfa Spider went out of production in 1993, the 1991 Series IV example for sale here has been in FCA's collection since it was built, used for technical testing. As for the custom cars, Lancia built a variant of its third-generation Appia as a coachbuilt chassis. Pininfarina bodied the 1959 model for sale here, and Fiat showed it first in Paris. Fiat used the funky, Zagato-designed, thermoplastic-composite-bodied, 1989 Alfa Romeo SZ for testing at the carmaker's Balocco circuit. Only around 1,000 SZ models emerged from the factory during a two-year production run. Each vehicle will come with a certificate of authenticity and be guaranteed by FCA, plus be featured on the FCA Heritage site.

The hottest modern sports cars rendered as rally racers
Thu, Jan 14 2016The modern-day World Rally Championship a monumental amount of fun to watch – I should know, as I recently was lucky enough to head to the UK to watch WRC Wales Rally GB – but even the most monstrous of the current WRC cars are based on fairly pedestrian European hatchbacks. Back in the heyday of rally, the Group B era in the 1980s, much hotter cars were the basis of even more incredible competition machines, for the most part. Take the exotic Ford RS200, or the Lancia Delta S4 with its twin-charged engine. And the hatchback-based Group B cars were bonkers, too. So what would some of our favorite modern cars look like if Group B had never ended? A British site named CarWow hired an artist to reimagine everything from the Rolls-Royce Wraith to the Porsche 911 as a retro-inspired rally car, and they were kind enough to let us share the results in the gallery above. The gallery features an Alfa Romeo Giulia in Martini livery, an Audi TT in classic Ur-Quattro colors, a Fiat 500 Abarth sporting massive flares and a hood blister full of auxiliary lights, a new Ford Mustang in RS200 livery, a Lancia Delta in Alitalia colors, a Porsche 911 in Rothmans livery, a Renault-Alpine in classic blue, a Rolls-Royce Wraith tribute to the Jules cologne Corniche Coupe, and a relatively modern-looking VW Touran. So far, the favorite around the office is the incredible Mercedes-Benz S-Class that is an homage to the wonderful 300 SEL 6.8 AMG "Red Pig" that essentially put AMG on the map. Check out the gallery above and see which one you like the best. Related Video:
