Condition: UsedSeller Notes:"his Alfa Romeo Spider is a true gem and is in absolutely MINT condition throughout. It was purchased on California and completely stripped down. Entire car was rebuilt to specification using original Alfa Romeo parts by licensed Alfa Romeo technicians. The engine is an inline 4 cylinder with only 8953Kms – only driven in summer. Red exterior with black leather interior. This car has upgraded Momo rims and an upgraded Alpine Stereo system. Bumpers were also upgraded and original bumper are included as well. The vehicle was appraised at $35,000 (official documentation will be provided)."

This 1978 Alfa Romeo Spider was originally purchased in California over twenty years ago, 1990, and was meticulously restored to the pristine condition as seen in the pictures. The Spider was Alfa Yellow when purchased and was free from any rust. The Spider was restored from the ground up and the paint converted to the classic Alfa Red.  Each part was completely taken apart and was either restored or replaced with original Alfa Parts. For example the stainless steel performance exhaust system was purchased in Italy and brought over as nothing suitable could be found in North America. The bumpers were converted to European Bumpers, but NA ones will also be provided if purchased.  The interior was completely restored while preserving the interior components that were not blemished. The 2.0 Litre Engine was completely re-built by an Alfa Romeo technician and engine specialist.  The original rims were changed for Momo 5 Star rims.
 
This Spider is unlike any other Spider out there, as you can see from the others listed here on ebay. You will not find a better Spider out there. The appraiser who came to see the vehicle said, and I quote, "I've never seen a vehicle this well done. Not even if it rolled off the production lot of Alfa Romeo, or any brand, would a vehicle look this good."
 
So if you are looking for an immaculate Spider, look no further as this car is worth every penny.  You will never find a better Spider than this and you will not be disappointed when you sit behind the wheel and drive it.

Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.
