Up for auction at "No Reserve" is a 1989 Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio Spider. Vin # ZARBA5563K1064990.
Clear Car Fax. Clear "Michigan" Title 91,560 Original Miles. I will be adding more pictures within the next few days. Due to an unexpected opportunity I am having to offer my 1989 Quadrifoglio Spider up for auction at "No Reserve". The Quadrifoglio was part of an estate and I was told that the owner purchased it off the showroom floor of the local Alfa dealer in Kentucky in 1989 with 8000 miles on it. It was kept in the same family for the entire ownership as it was conveyed to me. The Alfa has seen little use over the years showing only 91,000 miles. Has not been used for at the last year if not longer. Will need some general maintenance work as noted in the description below. For those that are not familiar with the Quadrifoglio Model, it was the top of the line model offered at the time. The Quadrifoglio came with a color coded factory "hard top", special "recaro" style seats and a factory body kit as well as special 15 inch "phone dial wheels". This example is completely stock down to the original factory shift knob and radio. The body is in good original condition as shown in the pictures. The paint on the Alfa is weak and really would benefit from a repaint. The body shows previous paint work that does not match very well. There are also numerous chips, cracking in the paint and scratches that have occurred over the years, including a good sized scratch on the right front fender as shown in the pictures. These imperfections in the paint do not show up very well in the pictures, but upon closer inspection paint condition is quite evident. The body itself is very solid with excellent panel gaps on the doors, trunk lid and hood. The floor pan is in good condition with no evidence of rust or damage. Rust is limited to a small "bubble" at the lower portion of the driver's side front fender and also there is a soft spot in the spare tire well. Hard Top has small 1 inch crack. Lower valance below rear bumper has 2 cracks in each corner - not very noticeable but worth mentioning. Has small "outie" dent from battery. Nose panel is in nice condition with no damage. Trunk carpet in very nice condition. The interior is in excellent original condition showing very little wear. The dash is very nice with a few small cracks near the defroster, but not the typical large cracks. The factory leather seats are in good condition. Both door panels are in nice condition however the driver's side needs new mounting clips. The dash itself as well as the center console are all in very nice condition as shown in the pictures. The original "red" carpet is in very nice condition as is the rear jump seat area. Has original convertible top that could use replacing. The original factory radio and power antenna both work fine. The 2 Liter engine starts up easily and runs quietly with no strange noises. As best as I can tell there has not been any major work done to the engine and I suspect that the head has never been off. With many Alfa's, there is some indication that the headgasket will need to be replaced at some point since I can see some oil in the overflow bottle. The Alfa does not have any noticeable oil leaks underneath. Gearbox seems fine with typical weak second gear syncro. Clutch pedal feels a little soft and may need to be bled, but does not have any issues getting into gear. Lights, blinkers, wipers & heater motor work fine. All lenses in good condition with no cracks or damage. Has new center section of the exhaust. Known issues: Needs tires Paint is weak Convertible top is original Gas lid cable needs replacing - can be opened from the outside. Rust spot on lower front fender Spare tire well has soft spot Small star crack in the windshield AC not hooked up Passenger side window regulator not working Misc. maintenance The Alfa Spider is being sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied. I cannot be held responsible for any errors or inaccuracies that may have been inadvertently been provided. Please have your finds in order prior to bidding. Shipping is up to the buyer to arrange. As stated, the Quad represents a wonderful opportunity for the Alfa enthusiast that is looking for a solid example at a low price. Comes with a clear Michigan title. Will need some general work/maintenance as noted in the description. The buyer should expect other normal wear and tear items to be addressed as would be expected of a 25 year old vintage sports car. Sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied. I have done my best to describe the Alfa to the best of my ability, however there may be some things that I may have missed. It is up to the buyer to do due diligence when making a purchase online. Do not make any assumptions about anything. Ask any questions that may not have been addressed. I am not responsible for any errors or erroneous misinformation. I will be adding more pictures within the next few days. For the motivated buyer, I will consider ending the auction early for a serious offer. "NO RESERVE AUCTION" The fine print: If you have 5 or less feedback transactions, you must contact me prior to bidding. A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 is due within 24 hours of the auction end. If the deposit is not received, the Alfa will be offered to the next highest bidder. The balance is due within 7 days of the auction end date. The car must be picked up within 10 days of the auction end date. A $10.00 per day storage fee will be charged after the 10 days unless prior arrangements have been made. I have sold several vintage cars to overseas buyers with the buyers being extremely pleased with the sale. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. |

2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia Review | Still the driver's choice
Tue, Dec 29 2020Nearly every luxury sport sedan similar in size to the 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia is a great driving car, but none can topple Alfa from its throne as the best. Its quintessential sport sedan combination of agile handling, superior driver communication and powerful engines is the best in the business. Unfortunately, the highs are high, and the lows are low when it comes to the Giulia. The interior is better now than it was at the beginning, but it’s still less than the Germans in both luxury and technology. A frustrating and laggy touchscreen infotainment system is hardly an improvement over the non-touch interface of before. A palatial back seat has never been a sport sedan trademark, but the Giulia's competitors nevertheless out do it in that regard too (should you care). And of course, thereÂ’s the question of long-term reliability. We hope that Alfa Romeo has worked out the GiuliaÂ’s reported issues over the years, but reliability is worth considering with the carÂ’s troubled history. Many of these flaws might be worth looking past if you want the ultimate driverÂ’s sport sedan, especially if youÂ’re thinking about the dynamite Quadrifoglio and its brilliant Ferrari-derived engine. What's new for 2021? After the heavy 2020 updates, not much changed for 2021. The trim options are streamlined to just four now: Sprint (new base trim name), Ti, Ti Sport and Quadrifoglio. AlfaÂ’s dual-pane sunroof is made standard on Ti, and the limited-slip differential is now standard on Ti Sport. A number of new colors are available: Ocra GT Junior, Rosso GTA, Rosso Villa d'Este and Verde Montreal. Nothing changes for the Quadrifoglio. What's the GiuliaÂ’s interior and in-car technology like? AlfaÂ’s upgrades for 2020 focused on improving the GiuliaÂ’s cabin, and itÂ’s much better for it. Materials on the steering wheel, dash and center console are more in touch with luxury expectations, and the control interfaces are sturdy, quality parts. The overall result still doesn't match most competitors, but it's no longer objectionable, and the materials generally feel nice to the touch. The design itself is attractive and minimalist. It lacks the Swedish flair of a Volvo S60 or the drama of some of the offerings available from Lexus and Mercedes, but Alfa was sure to pack in just enough Italian flair (red leather helps) to keep things interesting.
12 new cars that will never go out of style
Tue, Nov 23 2021Some cars never go out of style. It’s rare, but it happens. They get old. They get depreciated. But they never stop looking cool. Some might call them modern or instant classics. Within a few years theyÂ’re no longer the latest and greatest, no longer the flavor of the month, but they remain special. Eternally special. Timeless. These cars arenÂ’t necessarily going to be worth a fortune someday. However, some may not depreciate as rapidly or as far as other models. But thatÂ’s not what weÂ’re talking about here. These are the cars that enthusiasts will always find desirable from the curbside. TheyÂ’re the cars you end up shopping on eBay late at night 10 years later because you canÂ’t get them out of your head. TheyÂ’re the cars that will forever excite you when you spot a clean one in traffic or in a parking lot. There are plenty of recent examples over the past couple of decades that could count as instant design classics. But then we got to thinking, what 2021 models will be forever cool to stare at? Which new cars and trucks on sale today will we be shopping on eBay late at night in the 2030s? We kept supercars and other ultra-expensive cars off the list to keep things within the realm of attainability, and ended up with 12 total cars. Lexus LC WeÂ’re not applying a numerical ranking to any of the cars on this list, but if we were, the Lexus LC would be No. 1. There isnÂ’t another car design out there that can stir our emotions the way an LC can when itÂ’s just standing still. This car is a concept design come true in the most beautiful of ways, and itÂ’s a shoo-in winner for Concours events decades into the future. All of this heaping praise, and we havenÂ’t even gotten to the LC 500Â’s intoxicating 5.0-liter V8. It doesnÂ’t win drag races. It wonÂ’t be the fastest around the track against any similarly-priced competition. But none of that matters. ItÂ’s quite possibly the best car you can buy new, and that says it all when it comes to the LC. Chevrolet Corvette It might not be the stunner that the Lexus LC is, but the new C8 Corvette is and will always be a special vehicle. ItÂ’s the first mid-engine Corvette, which instantly cements it into an automotive hall of fame section of sorts. All of the performance stats and specs are there to back up its supercar-like looks, and it remains the best performance bargain on sale today.
Alfa Romeo pops the top on 4C Spider in Geneva [w/video]
Tue, Mar 4 2014Alfa Romeo has made all manner of vehicles over the years: hatchbacks, sedans, wagons, coupes... there's even been talk of a crossover. But it could be argued that the quintessential Alfa Romeo is a roadster. While the future of the program with Mazda remains in doubt, Alfa has arrived in Geneva this year with a Spider version of the nimble little 4C. As anticipated, the 4C Spider chops the roof off the coupe and replaces it with rollover bars, spoilers and windshield frame all made of carbon-fiber and a lightweight canvas top. As a result, the 4C Spider is said to weight just 132 pounds more than the existing fixed-roof version. The low-density Sheet Moulding Compound bodywork has been rebuilt around the rear deck to replace the back, and carbon fiber is visible throughout the open cockpit. The 1.75-liter turbo 4-cylinder and 6-speed dual-clutch transmission carry over unchanged, as do the performance stats: 0-62 in 4.5 seconds and a top speed "in excess of 155 mph." The 40/60 front/rear weight distribution is also quoted as unchanged from the coupe, maintaining the 4C's handling balance. The 4C Spider also gets more conventional (read: attractive) headlights, and a central exhaust system made by Akrapovic (of motorbike fame) from aluminum and titanium. Though billed as a Design Preview, the 4C Spider is set to go into production early next year. All we're waiting for now is for Alfa Romeo to finally bring this – and the rest of its lineup – to North America. ALFA ROMEO 4C SPIDER DESIGN PREVIEW DEBUTS AT 2014 GENEVA MOTOR SHOW - Alfa Romeo 4C Spider "avant-premiere" previews new soft-top scheduled to enter production in 2015 - True to the philosophy of the Alfa Romeo 4C, the Spider Design Preview remains an ultra-lightweight, high-performance driving machine - Extensive use of carbon fibre and SMC*, as well as a lightweight canvas hood, ensures the Spider retains the Alfa Romeo 4C focus and purity - Stunning evolutionary design sees the addition of new headlamps, new wheels and an advanced new central exhaust system by Akropovic® The stunning Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Design Preview makes its world debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, previewing a new model scheduled to go into production in early 2015.
