Alfa Romeo 1965 Giulia 1600 Super on 2040-cars
Heerlen, Netherlands
|
Up for sale is a rare 1965 Giulia 1600 Super. This 1600 Super is almost the same as the Bol d'Oro, but it is in fact much rarer. These were made for only a few months in 1965, so very limited production. Originally delivered to Lodi, Italy. Brought to the Netherlands in 1992. This is a very original and solid car. No rust whatsoever. I have seen no signs of welding or repairs anywhere, all rubbers are in the floors and all jackpoints are present and in good condition. You don't see too many of these Giulia's in such an unmolested condition. All the bits and pieces that are unique to this model are present, to name a few: - Old type doorhinges - Mechanical clutch - Old type engine without the ears for the camcover (matching numbers of course) - Dunlop brakes (recently revised, functioning great) - Old type big seats - Old type 15" wheels (including original sparewheel) - All the right interior details like steering wheel, lights, aluminium rocker covers etc. The Giulia did quite recently pass the safety and emission inspection here in the Netherlands (like the MOT and T?V). It can be driven anywhere without a problem. It handles well, brakes are good and absolutely no second gear problems. Engine runs very smooth on the correct Weber carbs. Differential doesn't make any noise. The tires are the correct 15" Michelin MX tires. The seats weren't at their best after 48 years, so I had them refurbished with the original material from Italy. It cost a fortune, but this car deserves a perfect interior. For this reason I also replaced the carpet. For driving comfort the original springs and shocks were replaced (yellow Koni's). This is a very healthy, rust free Giulia that represents great value, especially because of its great condition and because it's a very hard to find, rare example. Car is located in the Netherlands. All the documents are with the car and I will provide the documents you need to import the car into the US. I have experience with shipping to the US and will assist where possible. I have been a member of the Alfa Bulletin Board (Rodrick22GTV) for several years and have sold a few Alfa's to fellow boardmembers. Shipping costs are somewhere between $800 and $2000, depending on your location. |

Audi rumored to buy Alfa Romeo, officials deny it
Thu, 28 Mar 2013For more than two years, Volkswagen has been making public statements about its willingness to buy Alfa Romeo and quadruple the Italian brand's sales, and for just as long, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has replied with some version of "Mr. Piëch, drop it." According to a report in Ward's Auto, all that jousting might be over: it claims that sources close to both Marchionne and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler admit that the two are in talks for Audi to buy not just Alfa Romeo, but a production plant in Italy. In fact, a final deal could possibly include partsmaker Magnetti Marelli.
Against that backdrop, a report by German news weekly Stern quotes a Fiat spokesmen as saying it doesn't comment on rumors and an Audi rep has said flatly that "There is no substance in the news." If a sale is being arranged, the timing would seem to point to how eager Fiat is to raise cash to complete its major initiatives. Even though Alfa Romeo continues to delay its return to the US, it just showed off the production version of the 4C at the Geneva Motor Show (shown above) and said that preferred Fiat dealerships here would get them. Then there's Alfa's recently concluded deal with Mazda to develop a roadster based on the next generation MX-5 Miata - a deal that would seem to help both the Italian and Japanese brands.
The monetary issues are troublesome, though. Fiat is taking a beating in the European market and its weak-kneed balance sheet is delaying gotta-have-it products like the Jeep Cherokee. Fiat has been talking to banks about getting money to buy the rest of Chrysler and those financial institutions have also raised issues about debt and cash reserves, and the nasty game of chess Fiat is playing with the United Auto Workers (and now the court system about the portion of Chrysler it doesn't own) could end up blowing another hole in Marchionne's plans. It is possible that this could finally have convinced Fiat to at least see how serious Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, is about buying Alfa Romeo. Or it could be just another rumor.
Alfa Romeo 8C, Maserati Quattroporte and Granturismo models recalled over rust fears
Mon, 20 May 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced Maserati and Alfa Romeo are recalling certain Quattroporte, Granturismo and 8C models over potentially faulty tie rod ends. According to NHTSA, 2005-2008 Quattroporte, 2008 Granturismo and 2008 8C units may have been assembled with tie rod ends that have insufficient corrosion protection. As such, the components may rust, weaken and potentially fail. If that happens, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
Maserati and Alfa Romeo will contact owners and replace the tie rod end assemblies once the recall gets underway in June. All told, 7,438 vehicles are impacted by the recall. You can read the full NHTSA notice below for more information.
