1972 Alfa Romeo Spider. Original spica fuel injection. The engine starts and runs very well and seems to have plenty of power when driving. There is an occasional back fire when quickly letting off the throttle which I believe is a simple timing issue. The syncro for second gear needs fixed as it is difficult to downshift into second gear without grinding. Other than that the car is great to drive. It steers straight and tight and feels solid and stable at any speed. It brakes straight though a little soft. I was told by the previous owner that it has new front end bushings and bearings and alignment. It has newer tires and comes with a hard top that is in great shape. The convertible top material needs replaced but the top frame itself is in good condition. The seats could use recovered and I am including a new dash cover that needs installed. The car is in need of a re paint and a fiew minor fixes. There is some bubbling on the lower rocker panels and there is one rust spot on the floor pan behind the passenger seat that shows up in the pictures. The odometer shows 65K, I believe it has 165K. All the glass is good. This car can be a daily driver with only minor tinkering or is a good candidate for restoration. I have set a reasonably low reserve price that is well below the value of this car and less than what I have into it. The car is located in Portland Oregon and I will assist with any shipping necessary. I have shipped a fiew cars and Im happy to help make arrangements for shipping and the car is in a safe dry place and can be stored here for a little while while shipping arrangements are made. The car should be able to drive to its new home without a problem. This car comes with a folder of receipts for maintenance and repairs dating back to the late 1970's where the car was serviced by Portland Oregons Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo. I have a clean title in hand. Heres a link to the youtube video of the engine running and a walk around of the car. http://youtu.be/jmmJEZeanEI

Mazda and Fiat finalize deal for Alfa roadster, next-gen MX-5 Miata
Fri, 18 Jan 2013Although a little bit later than expected, Mazda and Fiat have signed a final agreement that will bring a next-generation MX-5 Miata to the Japanese automaker and a new roadster to Alfa Romeo. When the proposed arrangement was announced back in May, the two automakers had hoped to seal the deal last year, but it doesn't appear that the production timeline for these cars has slipped any, with both expected to start rolling off assembly lines in 2015.
Other than a shared chassis with a rear-wheel-drive layout, it sounds like the two cars are still planned to be distinct in their own ways from their styling right down to their engines. Mazda will produce both cars at a plant in Hiroshima, Japan, but it isn't clear what role each automaker will play in the cars' developmental process. The big question, of course, is what clever portmanteau name we can come up with, like Toyobaru. Mazda Romeo is the easy choice, but Alfazda might roll off the tongue a little better.
Scroll down for a brief press release from both automakers.
Next Mazda MX-5 Miata headed for 2015 Chicago debut
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Twenty-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 offers belated apology for 'wop engine' comment
Wed, 22 May 2013Automotive News reports Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has issued a written apology for his comments regarding his decision to stick with an Italian engine for the upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C. As you may recall, back in January, Marchionne was quoted as saying, "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it has to be a wop engine." The CEO penned an apology to the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition for using the racial epithet, saying that he made the comment in jest. Marchionne also said he realizes his remarks were unacceptable.
ONE VOICE, an organization aimed at fighting discrimination and stereotyping of Italian Americans, thanked Marchionne, Chrysler and Fiat for the apology. Marchionne is an Italian-born Canadian citizen, and he's gotten in trouble for other comments in the past. In 2011, he called high interest rates Chrysler was paying to the Canadian government "shyster rates." He apologized a day later.
