This Spider underwent a complete professional metal restoration, including the floors and rockers. The body was stripped/prepped, and the doors, hood, trunk lid, and dash removed before painting in a spray boot seven years ago.

The only part left unpainted is the undercarriage, which is in epoxy primer.

The car has been stored in a dry, heated garage ever since it was brought home from the body shop. Not much has been done to it other than installing the bumpers, some lights and the dash.

Although the most difficulty work was painstakingly done, the car still needs a soft top, and brake, mechanical, suspension and interior work. As such, it may be of interest to those who prefer avoiding the time and expense of bringing a Duetto's body shell back to its original glory.

The drive train has 78,564 miles. The engine turns freely by hand or with the starter if you apply 12 volts to the solenoid.

The only parts missing include the exhaust system (front, center and rear muffler), the exhaust shield under the car, the metal shields for the clutch MC and brake MC, the metal brake lines to the rear proportioning valve and rear right caliper, the radiator plastic shroud, the factory tool kit, the soft top, and the interior rubber mats and carpeting.

The following parts have been media blasted and primed or painted: front A-arms, rear trailing arms, front splash shields, heater box metal pieces, head light buckets, drive shafts, pedal assembly, and all the soft top frame pieces.

New front A-arms and rear trailing arms bushing were installed along with new OEM front springs pans and rear axle limiting straps. The drive shafts received new u-joints and center bearing support.

A new windshield made in England and a new windshield rubber gasket is included in the sale price. It is probably best to install these after taking care of the few cracks on the upper dashboard.

Please note that the New York State DMV does not issue titles for 1972 and older vehicles. This Alfa Romeo will be sold with a certification of sale.

I would prefer a cash transaction but can accept a check. However, you will have to wait until the balance shows in my account before you gain possession of the vehicle.

I encourage any potential buyer to come see the car.

I kindly ask those who showed interest in this car in the past but were unable to finalize its purchase to find another project.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012

After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
