Giulia Super 1300 on 2040-cars

Year:1973 Mileage:86520 Color: It does have some rust but nothing catastrophic that would keep you from being able to drive it
Location:

Pensacola, Florida, United States

Pensacola, Florida, United States

Up for sale is my 1973 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300


I am calling this my gateway Alfa.  This is a great car for someone who interested in Alfas but hasn’t owned one or for someone who is looking to take it to the next level.


I have owned this car for a little over a year and during my ownership it has been my daily driver.  My girls are getting older and I need to start helping mom taxi children to and from practices, lessons, and recitals.  Therefore, I will be driving more at night and with children in tow so I need to upgrade to a more ‘modern’ car.


I bought this car out of Franklin, TN, and it now lives in Pensacola, FL.  I bought the car and drove it from Tennessee to Florida.  I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere; all be it slow.


Engine/Trans

The car runs and drives great.  It does have the normal 2nd gear syncro crunch when downshifting.  


Because, it is my daily driver all gauges, lights, and wipers work.


The car stops well and I recently had the brakes looked over. 


I have changed the head gasket and had the timing redone.


I have changed all fluids.


But more importantly, I have driven it and will continue to drive it.


Interior


The interior is in decent shape.


The back seats are solid with no tears or holes.  It even has a middle arm rest.  I have installed static two point seat belts which allows me to strap in car seats.

Back windows and door locks function properly.


The front passenger has a tear in the middle of the seat cushion but other than that the seat is great.


The driver seat has a few small tears and the stitching is pulling in some places.


Both front seats have new 3 point inertia reel seat belts.


Exterior


It does have some rust but nothing catastrophic that would keep you from being able to drive it. And just enough where you can feel comfortable about driving it. Not a Garage Queen.


I have tried to detail the rust in the pictures and will be more than happy to answer any and all questions.


I can be reached at 850-525-1858.

Next Mazda MX-5 Miata headed for 2015 Chicago debut

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Twenty-six years after it was introduced at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the much anticipated fourth generation Mazda MX-5 Miata will meet the press at the 2015 Chicago show. A piece in Autocar refines some of the details on the larger, lighter Miata that a Mazda insider has said will be "our best-looking car ever."
The company has relented on the quest for the metric tonne, the 1000-kilogram (2,200-pound) target too difficult to achieve in light of cost constraints. You can still expect it to lose a generous dollop of weight - Autocar says a curb weight of 1,100 kg (2,420 pounds) will still make it the lightest in its class. And Mazda will be stressing a fun driving experience through light weight and a modest amount of naturally-aspirated horsepower. Engine capacities of 1.5 and 2.0 liters are expected. Sounds familiar (and good), right?
The Miata's interpretation of Kodo design will be veer from that found on the Mazda3 and Mazda6, with "very clean and simple" lines marking out "more muscular proportions" and elongated bodywork on a longer wheelbase. A stretched engine bay will make room for the current Skyactiv engine and perhaps the future Skyactiv 2 powerplants, initial reports suggesting there could be a 30-percent increase in fuel economy from the moment it arrives.

Marchionne threatens to move Alfa production out of Italy

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

Fiat 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.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
