1979 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce For Parts on 2040-cars
Havertown, Pennsylvania, United States
|
I have a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce in English Green that I am parting out. The rust is pretty bad, as this vehicle sat outside and uncovered for a long time. Basically all the lower panels are rough. Side sills, lower rear quarter panels, both floor pans and the spare tire well have a lot of rust. The car itself was not running when I got it from the previous owner, and I replaced the battery, fuel lines, fuel pump and filters and the motor ran well, and it handled beautifully in the brief time I was able to drive it. I was hoping to fix it up, and spent some money before realizing the extent of the rust, so I bought 4 new tires, replaced the vacuum lines, stuff like that.
The interior is rough. No carpet, seats are rusted through, dashboard has a few big cracks. I have all the gauges, which function as intended. I have the console warning lights for sale too. Wiper switch, ash tray, etc. All glass intact, windshield has a big wiper scratch. Doors are rust-free, interior door panels are pretty faded. Lucky for me the car came with an OEM Alfa hard top from a newer model Spider. The outside of the top is in okay shape. There are a few deep scratches, but it is straight and dent free. A little bondo and a new coat of paint and it's perfect. All hardware works great. The interior of the top is in much better shape than the car, no tears/rips. There is a light, but my car didn't have a plug, so I don't know if it works. Mechanically (without the rust), the car is in good shape, with a few fixable problems. The passenger spring seat is collapsing, so the car leans a little. The fuel tank needs to be cleaned and resealed. I have five Cromodora Turbina wheels, which are in rough shape, but 4 of them have brand new (2013 date code) tires on them. They're 185 70 14's and fit the car great! According to the previous owner, the transmission was rebuilt. When I got the car running I changed the motor oil, and the gear oil with Shell Spirax and it shifted nice and smooth. I have a good stack of service records (mostly from the 90's), as well as some photos of when the car was in much better shape (15-20 years ago). This car did suffer from the Alfa head gasket failure, with oil in the coolant. I've have a lot of the small/medium parts already removed from the car, as well as the cylinder head. The block, trans, rear end, suspension, wheels, rear brakes are still on the car. I have everything except what is listed below. I have already sold: Ignition Switch Aux Fuse Box Sun Visors Fuse panel cover Radiator Heater Core/levers/blower switch Wiper Motor Wiper Cowl I have posted this car locally on Craigslist, as well as on AlfaBB.com, which may be more updated (link below to post). Let me know what you need! I may have it listed already, so check my other auctions! --->>> http://www.ebay.com/sch/Parts-Accessories-/6028/m.html?_ssn=johns13193 |

Fiat reconsidering Mazda-based Alfa Romeo roadster? [w/poll]
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Alfa giveth and Alfa taketh away. With apologies to Job (he has gone through a lot, after all), that's how things are looking at the Italian automaker - whether it's the promise of new products or its impending return to the North American market. But it's especially true when it comes to new roadsters.
While Alfa Romeo is expected to unveil the 4C Spider at the Geneva Motor Show this week, reports are now suggesting that its other roadster project is being called into question. That project is a joint venture between Fiat and Mazda, which was set to produce a version of its next MX-5 Miata as an Alfa Romeo, and was even changing the design to accommodate Alfa's requirements.
Now it appears, however, that the whole project in doubt. The problem seems to stem from Sergio Marchionne's pronouncements that, as long as he's in charge, there won't be an Alfa Romeo built outside of Italy.
Fiat set to invest $12B on new models, stop Euro losses in 3 years
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Naturally, you'd expect a massive automaker like Fiat to have an in-depth plan to exit the current European-market doldrums, and you'd expect that plan to include plenty of new vehicles to attract those precious buyers that still remain despite the financial downturn. And you'd be right, though Fiat does seem to have a few unexpected twists up its corporate sleeve.
Perhaps the biggest shocker is a report that Fiat will completely drop the Punto, a car with mass-market appeal aimed at small-car buyers cross-shopping the popular Volkswagen Polo. Its replacement will be a five-door Fiat 500 aimed at upmarket buyers (sounds awfully similar to the 500L) that will be built in Poland. Lower-end customers will reportedly be served by variants of the Fiat Panda.
Borrowing a page from the BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen playbook, reports Automotive News, Fiat is said to have plans to reignite production at its Italian factories by retooling them to build high-end vehicles from Maserati and Alfa Romeo. These will be marketed as premium products, built by skilled Italian workers (who are paid wages that are 75-percent higher than those building Fiats in Poland), and will be sold around the world.
