1973 Alfa Romeo Spider
VIN: AR3041818 Miles: Odometer shows 65K. Unknown if this is accurate, but odometer works. Private seller. Non-smoker. Baby on the way, two door cars must go.
The early 70’s “S2” Spiders are some of the best and most desirable you can find. Lightweight, good power, great handling, small bumpers, and beautiful styling. This example is a great driver car; it runs, stops, shifts, drives, and handles amazing. Enjoy for many years ‘as is’, or restore as you go. I believe the paint is original; looks good from far, but is far from good. Some surface and some swiss cheese rust in the typical lower body exterior, but nothing structural.
Excellent compression on all cylinders: 140, 135, 135, 140 All instrument gauges and four main dash indicators work. Constant coolant temp at 180 degrees, constant oil pressure above 57 Heater works well and blows hot. Comes with new car cover.
No known accidents. Clean title in hand. Passed Colorado DMV inspection (all the important things WORK as they should), currently licensed and insured. Tasteful upgrades and/or newly replaced: JVC KD-X80BT head unit with remote plays digital music loaded on USB flash drive + four Blaupunkt GTX speakers, and Infinity Basslink 200-Watt, Dual 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 Anthracite wheels; 15x7x30, 4x108; 73mm center bore High performance BF Goodrich Super Sport A/S Tires 205/50/ZR15 IAP performance headers, custom exhaust straight back to ANSA muffler Full SPICA rebuild by Wes Ingram in 2012, runs great. Maintenance and Tuneup guides included LED interior and exterior lighting – dash lighting is visible! K&N filter Recovered leather seats and dash cap Rebuilt driveshaft – no vibration! Upgraded to cross drilled rotors + rebuilt calipers. New clutch. New radiator. New Koni Sport shocks and performance springs (from IAP). New gas tank and fuel pump. New pointless distributor, Bosch coil, and battery. New top, boot cover, sump guard.
Chrome trim and new windshield included (existing windshield has wiper scratches across passenger side) New sport three spoke steering wheel. New firewall and roof track drainage tubes – no wet floors! Upgrades in the last 12 months alone total over $7,500 Known issues: Typical 2nd gear synco can crunch if not familiar with how to properly drive these cars, or ‘double clutch’ Non-structural rust spots in lower fenders and wheel arches – very repairable.
Dented nose. Slight transmission/Diff leak – maybe a drop or two per week? Very minimal for a 1973 Alfa. Previous owner temporally fixed eroding floorpans with thick aluminum plate reinforcement and undercoating. A solid fix, but if restoring, they will need attention.
Passenger window missing a gear tooth, but does fully roll up and down with slightly more effort than usual needed. Windshield washer reservoir cracked. Replacement bag type in hand but not installed. Pump and sprayers work. LED bulbs create a ‘fast blink’ issue on turn signals and dash turn signal indicator not flashing
Car is listed on other sites, I reserve the right to end auction early. Based on condition, rarity, upgrades, and comparable sales, I believe the price is fair. First $4000 takes it.
Buyer info: You are responsible for shipping, located in 80215. Half payment due at auction close, half upon receipt of vehicle. Paypal preferred. Serious inquires only. No warranty expressed or implied. Title is in hand and will be sent over night once full payment is received. I have a perfect Ebay seller and buyer rating, so bid with confidence. |

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.
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.
Marchionne to make Alfa Romeo a separate company within Fiat
Mon, 28 Apr 2014According to a report in Automotive News that quotes "people familiar with the matter," the next big play in Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne's plan for Alfa Romeo is to break it off from Fiat Group Automobiles and set it up as a separate company within the Fiat empire, giving it the same structure as Ferrari and Maserati. The idea, say the sources, is that a transparent, standalone Alfa Romeo that has to justify its every move could clearly prove its success in the public financial statements it would have to report, finally achieving Marchionne's aim of making Alfa Romeo "a credible business proposition."
That, of course, assumes that Alfa Romeo will make a success of it. The brand hasn't made a profit in any year of Marchionne's decade at the helm; sales last year fell to numbers not seen in almost half a century and its new product offensive might not include the two vehicles currently responsible for 99 percent of its sales. We're told that the brand's six new models will begin arriving in 2016 - a roadster, a midsize sedan and large sedan, a compact SUV and large SUV, and a large coupe.
Marchionne aims to expand Alfa's global appeal in several ways, the first by stressing that they are Italian products that 'belong' to Italy. This is the stance that appears to have put the kibosh on the roadster twinned with the coming Mazda MX-5/Miata. Alfa Romeos will all be made in their home country, and if they take off they'll help bandage Fiat's problem with underused plant capacity, a bugbear that is just as problematic culturally and politically as financially. Top-tier trims would use V6 engines developed by Ferrari, and global access would get a boost by selling Alfa Romeos in Jeep's 1,700 international dealerships.
