1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider on 2040-cars
Pataskala, Ohio, United States
|
NO RESERVE My grandfather bought this car (and a parts car...1963 Giulia) in 1980 when he retired. He tore the car apart and it sat until 2009. The farm sold in 2009 and he had a little bit a money to put back into this project. So, we started putting the car back together in 2009. Sadly, his health deteriorated quickly. His final wish was to get a chance to drive this car again. Unfortunately, he never got the chance to drive it. But we were able to take him for a ride around the block several times. After several strokes and due to growing medical bills and the inevitable hospice care that will be needed, we must let the car go. (I have several videos of him in car so that you can see and hear it running and driving) The following is a description of the car as I know to be accurate. I will not lie or falsify information just to sell the car. The chasis is a 1961. The engine came out of the parts car (1963) and thus has the 1600 in it. We used the hood from the 1963 in order to clear the bigger engine. Because we were rushed to put this car back together quickly, corners were cut. Not going to lie about that. However, one thing I'll stand behind is the body work. The body work is fantastic. Zero bondo in this car...everything was welded correctly and dents were pulled. (I'll have more work in progress pictures for interested buyers) The paint is a nice driver....hardly show worthy. Mechanically, she won't win any prizes. Master and wheel cylinders were rebuilt. Engine was rebuilt...but I can't say one way or the other if it was done correctly. It has the 5 speed from the 1963. All trim/chrome appears to be in decent shape. There is the typical pitting that you would expect from a 50 year old car. Bumpers are original and are painted. (Not re-chromed) There is no heater box. We have 2 tops for the car. An original all steel hard top (Pictured) and the soft top. The soft top has not been refurbished. The frame appears to be in good condition. The tires are 30 years old (Only 10 miles on them, however) Grandpa bought tires in 1980. I wouldn't put them on the highway if I were you. The brakes are squishy. I believe there is still a bit of air in the lines. New exhaust with original manifold. Some of the gauges don't work. It has an original (almost perfect condition) wiring harness. However, we have what appears to be a good voltage regulator but I have 2 extra. (I really have no idea what I'm doing with electric) I strongly encourage you to call me before bidding to talk about the car. (614-378-7508) I am not shipping this car anywhere. If you want it, buy a ticket to Columbus Ohio. I'll pick you up from the airport...we'll go look at the car. If it's what you want, we'll do the deal. I'll even drive you to a uhaul location to rent a trailer to start your journey home. I will not accept paypal or any other form of scam ridden payment options. Meet me in Columbus Ohio. We can do a wire transfer or cash. The winning bidder will be required to send me a $2000 earnest money deposit within 7 days. ( A check is fine for that) PLEASE CALL 614-378-7508 WITH ANY QUESTIONS! |

Chrysler appoints new heads of Alfa Romeo and Ram
Mon, 18 Aug 2014Chrysler has announced to two key appointments to its senior leadership, both of them taking immediate effect. First up is Reid Bigland, who has been named head of the Alfa Romeo brand for North America. Bigland has served until now as head of the Ram Truck brand, a portfolio he now hands over to Robert Hegbloom, who had served until now as its director.
As a result of the appointments, both Bigland and Hegbloom will take up seats on Chrysler's NAFTA Leadership Team, and Bigland will also join the Fiat Chrysler Group Executive Council - the highest decision-making body in the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire.
As per Sergio Marchionne's leadership style, Bigland will continue to serve in two major capacities, maintaining his role as president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Other senior executives who hold multiple key portfolios include Harald Wester (who serves as the group's Chief Technology Officer and also overseas Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Abarth), Olivier Francois (group Chief Marketing Officer and head of the Fiat brand) and Michael Manley (head of the Asia-Pacific region and the Jeep brand).
Leno samples Corvette Z06, steam cars, supercars and the wonders of Pebble Beach
Fri, 12 Sep 2014While Jay Leno's Garage was conceived to highlight the wonders of The Big Chin's eponymous storage facility, Leno does occasionally get out an into the larger world. Pebble Beach and the festivities around Monterey recently provided a great excuse for a road trip, and Leno seemingly had a pretty full dance card.
In an episode aptly dubbed The Ultimate Car Week, our host takes us through a pretty representative selection of great things to see in and around Pebble. Starting with a ride-along in a steam car, Jay manages to check in on the latest McLaren supercar and drive the Alfa Romeo 4C along the way. Oh, and he takes a good look at the all-new Corvette Z06 (next to the original Z06) before hitting the Concourse d'Elegance, too.
Marchionne uses racial epithet to describe what must power future Alfa Romeo models
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Sergio Marchionne and his Fiat empire have a lot riding on the US return of the Alfa Romeo brand. The endeavor has been in progress for what feels like a lifetime - certainly for as long as Fiat has had the Chrysler brand under its Italian wing.
It's not surprising that Fiat CEO Marchionne needs a perfect first Alfa to mark a return to America. And here's where things get dicey. Nobody would argue with Marchionne's insistence that Alfa Romeo's be powered by Italian engines - as Marchionne himself is quoted to have said at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, "There are some things that are well done in Italy."
If not what he said, then, it's how he said it that has eyebrows raised. "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it needs to be a wop engine." Wait, what's that?
