MORE PICTURES: http://s466.photobucket.com/user/oita-dow/media/ALFA%20SPIDER/alfa014.jpg.html PLEASE IGNORE THE DATE STAMP ON THE PICTURES - THEY WERE TAKEN RECENTLY. Here is an excellent true survivor car. This unmolested and virtually rust-free (a magnet sticks to every square inch) car starts right up and runs fine with an amazing exhaust note, especially when you start winding her out. I would confidently drive this car on short errands or long road trips. The car certainly appears to have had very little average annual mileage since 1976. The car was manufactured in August 1976 and is titled as a 1977 model year. These unit-body constructed cars handle very well, and are rattle free and solid. With this 5-speed car you are never forced to run at high RPM. Passing power is always on tap with a downshift from 5th to 4th. 5th gear is basically overdrive - no higher gear is needed. The included Alfa Romero factory hard top still has the steel Alfa Romeo tag and is in excellent condition with only one noticeable scratch in the vinyl. The glass on both the hard top and the rest of the car is very good to excellent. The soft top looks new and has an excellent rear window. The five original Alfa Romeo aluminum wheels are included as is a spare tire, a chrome luggage rack, the original jack, the under-dash air conditioning unit and the compressor (disconnected), other odds and ends, an owners manual and receipts totaling well over $2,000. The rotor, cap, wires and plugs are new. The alternator is about 1 year old; a receipt is included. The leather seats are decent- there is a small hole in the passenger seat and some wear showing here and there. There is a small crack in the dash behind the speedometer; easy to miss. The passenger side wiper needs a new rubber blade. The dual side draft Weber carbs look and work great. This car came up from Tennessee where it was originally purchased and where I was told it spent approximately the first 20 years of its life. It then spent the remainder of time here in Dallas, PA where it was only driven in dry summer weather. The original owner and 2nd owner were relatives; I was told I purchased the car from the 2nd owner, making me the 3rd owner. The body has a some minor dents, dings and scratches etc. but is extremely straight. It is not quite a show winner but wouldn't require too much to be one. There is a spot on the hood that looks like a small split in the paint, perhaps from engine heat. Driving, signal, parking and brake lamps all work but the signal flasher isn't working so I have to flash them manually with the lever. There is a small dent followed by a scratch touched up with matching paint on the right side rear fender lip that looks like a very minor mishap that someone attempted to repair but didn't do a very good job. The floors are excellent as is the under side of the car. There are a few small holes in the spare tire well which will be easy to repair if desired - to stop further rust I painted the well with a rust-preventative primer and paint, but there is no filler in there. As a matter of fact, other than the small dent in the right rear fender flare lip where an amateur repair was attempted. I found only one small paint bubble that is behind the right front wheel but I do not believe it is indicative of any major rocker rust as they are extremely solid and all smooth steel - I found no where a magnet won't stick. The temperature gauge and fuel gauge/low fuel warning lamp work fine. The heat and defrost/fan and wipers all work as intended. Please note: the front turn signals shown in the bumper-less pictures are obviously not original - I added them when I removed the rubber bumpers to save weight and have a more vintage look. The original bumpers have turn signals built in and are included. The turn signals shown will be included if desired. My mechanic friend told me cylinder compression is good. The included owners manual is an original 1975 model year, but a downloaded copy of a 1977 manual is included as is one set of original keys. I only have one good battery for my project cars - please bring a battery with you if you intend to drive it home; I can't include a battery. Winning bidder is buying an great, virtually rust free, straight, solid classic car.

SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. In addition to items disclosed in the above description, here are some items which can use some attention if so desired: 1. The speedometer has stopped working - I removed the speedometer cable from the back of the speedometer and it looks like the tip of the piece that enters the back of the speedometer may have broken. The mileage on the speedometer is 53,261 and the title reads 53,219. I don't know the actual mileage so I marked 100,000 in the mileage section of the description although I doubt very much it is anywhere near that number. 2. The gas tank drips if it is more than apx. 1/3 full. I do not know where the drip comes from but I have to place a piece of cardboard on the floor if I overfill the tank. I simply don't fill it more than 1/3 full. 3. The car uses some oil (not a lot) and will occasionally smoke a little, but the car runs great. I was told to switch to a slightly thicker grade of oil since valve-guide blow by is common for these cars, but I haven't bothered because the occasional smoke doesn't bother me. 4. The oil pressure gauge isn't working, it's most likely just the sending unit. A NON-REFUNDABLE $250 DEPOSIT VIA PAYPAL IS DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF WINNING THE AUCTION. THIS $250 DEPOSIT IS NON-REFUNDABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE DEPOSIT YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE CAR SO PLEASE DON'T BID IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE DEPOSIT MONEY AVAILABLE. PAYMENT OF BALANCE (BY CERTIFIED CHECK, WIRE TRANSFER, OR CASH - NO PAYPAL FOR THE BALANCE) IS DUE WITHIN TEN DAYS OF WINNING THE AUCTION.
YOU WILL HAVE 10 DAYS THE TO PICK UP THE CAR UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE AGREED TO FOR GOOD CAUSE. Thank you.

2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale aims to be the enthusiast's small SUV
Tue, Feb 8 2022Alfa Romeo's lineup will expand by 50% next year thanks to the 2023 Tonale, its new small SUV engineered to take on the voluminous and still-expanding utility segment beneath the Stelvio and its ilk. This new baby SUV packs a minimum of 256 horsepower and all-wheel drive with an optional, performance-oriented plug-in model available. It's difficult to talk about the future of the automotive industry without acknowledging the spread of electrification and the rise in vehicular ride heights, and Alfa's checking both boxes with the Tonale. The small SUV will now be the brand's entry-level model. That's right; while you weren't looking, Alfa's lineup shrank to just two vehicles: Giulia and Stelvio. The company will add more electric variants in the coming years, including a BEV before the middle of the decade, so while the Tonale may be the first, it's not going to be the only, and while Alfa is adamant that there's a future for Giulia, we're now nearly a decade removed from the days of Alfa showrooms being populated by little coupes, convertibles, hatchbacks and sedans. The Tonale shares its underpinnings with just about every other small SUV in the Stellantis portfolio. Its largest cousin sold here in the U.S. is the Jeep Compass. We don't have all the numbers for Tonale just yet, but we suspect the only thing it'll really have in common with Jeep's economical compact will be the length of its wheelbase, which slots it into the same class as the Audi Q3, BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA/GLB and Lexus NX. And there's certainly nothing Compass-like about its exterior, which looks credibly Alfa-like. LED lighting is standard; the fancy wheels on the models shown in these photos are not; you'll need the Veloce trim for those. Alfa's punching up a bit in the cabin too. A 10.25-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment system is standard (the Stelvio's base screen is just 8.8 inches) and paired to a 12.3-inch digital cluster display skinned to look like a vintage Alfa Romeo instrument panel. The Uconnect system is integrated with Alfa Connected Services to enable over-the-air updates and other personalized functionality. Each Tonale can store five individual driver profiles accessible via a single touch and is compatible with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. But while Alfa promises the Tonale will feel appropriately luxurious for its price point, this isn't aimed at the crowd that wants a soft, distant experience.
FCA's new Heritage HUB showcases 250 rare Fiats, Lancias and Alfa Romeos
Fri, Apr 5 2019Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has opened a new facility near Turin, Italy, dedicated to preserving and celebrating the company's Italian brands, as well as the historic cars each has created. It's bigger than the average Costco, and it houses more than 250 pieces of automotive art, some of which have never been publicly displayed. It's called the FCA Heritage HUB. The HUB building is itself a piece of history. FCA restored the old Officina 81 in Via Plava of the historic Mirafiori industrial district on the south side of Turin. At 161,459 sqare feet (the average Costco is 145,000 sq ft), it's a massive open space that allows for both business and pleasure. In the rafters, photos and text tell the timeline of Mirafiori, but the floor focuses on Fiat, Lancia, Abarth, and Alfa Romeo. Although part of the space is dedicated to the "Reloaded by Creators" vintage restoration sales department, the portion we're interested in is shown in the massive gallery above. FCA says it has more than 250 vehicles on display, and some have never been shown. The "central area," which explores cars from 1908 to 2008, is separated into eight themes, each of which has eight cars. The eight areas include Archistars, Concept and Personalized Cars, Eco and Sustainable, Epic Journeys, Records and Races, Small and Safe, Style Marks, and The Rally Era. Some of the cars featured at the new shop include the Lancia Lambda, the Fiat 500 Topolino A, the Fiat 130 Familiar, the Fiat X1/23, the Fiat Ecobasic, the Fiat Campagnola AR 51, the Fiat 1100 E, the Fiat 124S, the Lancia Delta HF Integral Group A, the Fiat S61, the Lancia Alfa Sport, the Lancia D50, the Lancia Beta Montecarlo Turbo, the Lancia LC2, the Lancia Augusta, the Lancia Ardea, the Fiat ESV 1500 and 2000, the Fiat Barchetta, the Lancia Aurelia B20, the Lancia Fulvia HF 1600, and the Lancia Stratos HF. Check out the gallery and below videos to see the full extent of what the HUB has to offer.
