1976 Alfa Romeo Alfetta Gt on 2040-cars
Victoria, Texas, United States
I RECENTLY GOT A LEAD ON SOME VWS HERE IN TEXAS. AS I STARTED DIGGING THRU TO GET TO THEM, I RAN ACROSS THIS ALFA ALSO. IT HAD BEEN STORED FOR ATLEAST 27/28 YEARS IN THIS BARN. TO SAY THE LEAST, I BOUGHT IT ALSO. NOT KNOWING A THING ABOUT IT. I THINK ITS ALL ORIGINAL BESIDES THE BLAUPUNKT RADIO, SPEAKERS AND AMERICAN RACING WHEELS. I HAVEN'T TRIED TO CRANK IT. I WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE TO START. IT SEEMS TO ALL BE THERE. THE DRIVERS DOOR PANEL HAS BEEN REMOVED. THE WINDOW CRANK PIECES HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM DOOR, BUT I HAVE ALL THE PIECES. I ASSUME THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS IN THE PROCESS OF FIXING THE WINDOW CRANK THAT IS BROKEN. I HAVE THAT TOO. THERE IS A DENT ON DRIVERS REAR FENDER, BUT DIDNT HIT STAINLESS TRIM. THERE ARE SMALL HOLES ON EACH BOTTOM CORNER OF REAR GLASS. THERE IS A COUPLE OF SMALL AREAS OF SURFACE RUST ON COWL BELOW WINDSHIELD. ALL FOUR JACK POST ARE SOLID. SPARE TIRE WELL HAS A PENCIL ERASER RUST HOLE AND BATTERY WELL HAS SURFACE RUST ONLY. THAT SEEMS TO BE THE EXTENT OF THE RUST. ITS A COOL, SPORTY CAR, BUT NOT A VW. IF I HAVE A HARD TIME SELLING THE CAR, I AM NOT OPPOSED TO PARTING IT OUT. """BEST OFFER TAKES IT""" THX 4 LOOK'N Mike Haines 832 226 1911 Le Mans Blue

Fiat Chrysler target 850k sales in China by 2018
Sun, 11 May 2014Behind the vanguard of numerous Jeep models, two Chryslers, a smattering of Fiats and Alfa Romeos and local production through a joint venture with Guangzhou Automotive Group (GAG), Fiat Chrysler wants to increase sales in China more than six-fold by 2018. The group sold 130,000 cars in China in 2013, the aim for 2018 being 850,000 cars.
Ultimately it's expected that the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Wrangler, Renegade, the coming Grand Wagoneer and a sub-Renegade-sized crossover will either be built in or exported to the People's Republic. The Chrysler Town & Country and 300 will join the export list in 2016 and 2018 respectively, according to a report in Automotive News.
With a number of those vehicles not in production or perhaps even envisaged yet, and others not due on the local market until 2018, it will be interesting to see how Fiat Chrysler plans to achieve the target in the specified timeframe. The joint venture with GAG builds two products now, the Dodge Dart-based Fiat Viaggio launched two years ago - supposedly designed just for China - and the just-launched Fiat Ottimo, a hatchback version of the Viaggio. Fiat projected 300,000 Viagio sales in its first two years, that number has been adjusted downward to 94,000 and there doesn't appear to be an analyst alive that sees a good future for Fiat in China's overrun mainstream market. Still, last year's 130,000 group sales in China is a huge jump from 2012 sales of 66,000 units, but less than half the 300,000 units it projected.
Marchionne threatens to move Alfa production out of Italy
Fri, 12 Jul 2013Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne was unsurprisingly frank when asked by reporters about potential investments in Italian manufacturing for Alfa Romeo and Maserati, giving the Italian government the ultimatum, "Italy should decide if they want [Alfa Romeo's relaunch] to happen here or not as Fiat and Chrysler have several alternatives." Them's fightin' words.
Fiat's issue with the government stems directly from its courtroom clashes with the Fiom labor union. The two are currently embroiled in proceedings over longer shifts and shorter breaks, as Fiom has so far refused to sign a new contract citing revised labor laws that it says are anti-union.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat will be spending over $2.5 billion on development of eight new Alfas and six new Maseratis, in a bid to wrest some of the luxury pie away from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. But that's only going to happen if the government is willing to play ball and make life easier on Fiat.
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.
