Here is a family owned Alfa Romeo that has been a member of our stable since 1993. I surprised my wife with the car and she enjoyed it for many years, I even was allowed to drive the car occasionally! My sister then bought the car in 1998 and it moved to Arizona where it has lived ever since. She used the car and enlisted my help refurbishing it. We installed Koni shocks, bigger swaybars, 1in lower springs, sump guard, roll bar, as well as many bushings and rubber parts, brake pads etc. Then about 2002 it went to an Alfa Specialist near Phoenix and had the top end overhauled, and the Trans rebuilt. Many small bits were included in the work like the engine and trans mounts and all hoses. The car became a weekend toy and was always garaged. A sudden change in fortune brought the car to us again in a trade for a pick up truck. I was delighted and ready to continue the project. First was a down to bare metal body restoration, much time and energy was lavished on making the car as near perfect as could be. Mike Love in Lake Havasu did the work, the quality is evident and the cost was breath taking. The interior was next and the pictures show the condition clearly, new seat skins were done and a beautiful cloth top fitted. The carpets are in good condition, not new, but very nice. The fuel system has been recently serviced with new fuel pumps fitted to ensure continued reliability.
I do want to mention the following known issues, the top of the dash does have cracks in it, as many do, the heater is not plumbed in as the core began leaking, these would be the only flaws I know of.
Since 2008 the car has been driven infrequently and stored in my garage in Lake Havasu, kept on a battery tender. It's a shame to have this beautiful car sitting unused, so it is up for sale.
1985 is the last year for the two binnacle Tach and Speedo. It was the first year for Bosch fuel injection, which brought greater reliability and better driving manners. My wife has another collector car and I suffered an injury that does not allow me to drive a stick any longer. This is an enthusiast owned car that has had much to much money spent on it, my loss will be it's new owners gain as I doubt you will find many Alfas in this condition.

Best in Show: 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta wins at Pebble Beach

Mon, Aug 27 2018

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Well over 200 vehicles from 17 countries competed for Best in Show honors at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but there could be only one winner: the 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta you see above. The deep blue bodywork of the vehicle was first seen at the 1938 Berlin Motor Show, and the vehicle was recently restored to its original show condition. This Alfa Romeo is owned by David and Ginny Sydorick. "This car is one of only five built, and it has recently been completely restored, taking a huge amount of effort and dedication from all those involved," said Sydorick after the win. The '37 8C 2900B Touring finished ahead of a 1929 Duesenberg J Murphy Town Limousine and a 1948 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Figoni Fastback Coupe for the golden ribbon. This is the third time an Alfa Romeo has won the coveted Best in Show trophy at Pebble Beach, the first an 8C 2900B Touring Spider in 1988 and the second an 8C 2900B Touring Coupe in 2008. Last year's winner was a silver and blue 1929 Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta: Pebble Beach Misc.

Alfa Sprint Speciale racer looks fantastic, sounds even better

Thu, Oct 2 2014

Nothing quite sounds like a vintage Alfa Romeo four-cylinder engine at full gallop, especially in motorsport trim. With a combination of low-frequency burbling played over a high-pitch scream, they really know how to sing. This week Petrolicious takes a look at a truly unique Alfa Sprint Speciale that's just as adept at competing in the wide-open La Carrera Panamericana vintage race in Mexico as it is snaking through some undulating, tree-lined back roads. Ostensibly, this is a 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale, although it's really much more the creation of Alfa-restorer Conrad Stevenson. The roof section, including the holes for the windshield and rear glass, is original to one of these fantastic-looking coupes. But everything below that is Stevenson's handiwork. To shape the styling, he combined the original Bertone design with his own ideas to purpose build the car for the challenges of the Mexican race. As usual, Petrolicious nails every aspect of the production, especially the handheld camera work inside the cabin as the car negotiates the curves. It really communicates the connection between this swoopy Alfa and its builder. Plus, the sound mix lets the engine play its glorious tune.
