It is a widely regarded fact that an Alfa Romeo is something that every human ought to own at some point in his or her life. They are fine examples of Italian craftsmanship and engineering, providing excitement and sensual pleasure--a dashing spark in a world full of mundane vehicles. Dustin Hoffman had one in The Graduate, and it worked particularly well for charming his girlfriend's mother, if you're into that kind of stuff. The particular specimen I am selling here is none other than a spectacular 1974 Spider 2000 INIEZIONE in Rosso Corsa--the color of passion. It has just over 100,000 miles and has been lovingly cared for by both its owners over the past 39 years. The paint shines like the sunset in Milan and the seats have been reupholstered in leather that even the most discerning Italian coachbuilder--or carrozzeria, as they say over there--would approve. It roars to life every morning and sounds just like the old fighter planes did over the Adriatic. Why am I selling this magnificent piece of machinery? I liked it so much that I bought another one as a project, so I'm selling the one that is already complete. Specification- 1974 Spider 2000 INIEZIONE Recent maintenance/upgrades: -under carpet heat shielding / sound deadening -custom carpeting with black piping. -All electrics/buttons/lights work -3tone loud horn upgrade very fitting for the car. -Rebuilt seats from the frames up, Nicer than the original. -Recently replaced convertible top (no leak tears or marks, I personally NEVER put it up but the window is clear as the day it was installed) -Motor mounts replaced -battery cables replaced -water pump, hoses, thermostat replaced (not that it needed it, but more of a safety precaution) -Spare SPICA fuel injection filter -Fuel filters -Cigarette lighter conversion to standard size to be able to charge phone ( easily converted back to original spec) -Injection oil filter -All Fluids etc. -Radiator flush -Electric fuel pump -Spark plugs -fan belt -Tires (approx 400 miles on them) -Metal long and short arm clips for the fuel injection -lots of small failing gaskets/rubber parts were replaced -Refinished original campagnolo wheels + spare. -Paint done in the 90's but stored indoors and rarely driven so it looks great aside from 2-3 dings which a skilled PDR could fix right up Things to note: Also included 5spoked wheels that are in some of the other photos and an extra fuel injection pump, 2 sets of keys and a set of blanks, full gasket set. No rust found when carpets were pulled in the foot wells, and as far as I have seen the whole body is a RUST FREE example having spent all of its days indoors and in california. |

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans
Fri, 18 Jan 2013As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:
Marchionne threatens to move Alfa production out of Italy
Fri, 12 Jul 2013Fiat 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.
Marchionne uses racial epithet to describe what must power future Alfa Romeo models
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Sergio Marchionne and his Fiat empire have a lot riding on the US return of the Alfa Romeo brand. The endeavor has been in progress for what feels like a lifetime - certainly for as long as Fiat has had the Chrysler brand under its Italian wing.
It's not surprising that Fiat CEO Marchionne needs a perfect first Alfa to mark a return to America. And here's where things get dicey. Nobody would argue with Marchionne's insistence that Alfa Romeo's be powered by Italian engines - as Marchionne himself is quoted to have said at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, "There are some things that are well done in Italy."
If not what he said, then, it's how he said it that has eyebrows raised. "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 needs to be a wop engine." Wait, what's that?
