Up for sale is a really nice 1982 Alfa spider. After hounding my friend for over a year he finally agreed to sell me his Alfa. My friend inherited the car from his mother who bought it brand new at the local dealership in PA. After driving it for a very short time, she garaged it with little over 20,000 miles. My friend got the car and drove it down to South Florida and did a minor restoration to get it back on the road and looking nice. he car was re-sprayed to original factory color. It looks like a dark gray /black or slate. The interior is tan leather with tan/brown carpeting, all original. After driving the car for several years he also garaged it after just 51,000 miles. For a 32 year old car that's 1,600 per year! I wanted a small project car that I could work on in my garage and this was it, no rust, lots of original owner paperwork and known history. The PO did the following during his ownership:

paint job - several scratches and minor dents due to poor storage protection in garage
New exhaust system - factory OEM
New soft top - still looks new (I don't think he took the car out after installing it)
New fuel pump and filter
I have receipts showing he changed the oil every 1,000 miles
misc. upkeep, light bulbs, spark plugs, wires, etc.

Here is what I have done since buying the car just 3 months ago:

New battery
New fuel pump, fuel filter
Clean out gas tank and lines
New tires
rebuilt all 4 disk brakes
cleaned out all fuel injectors
New oil, oil filter, tranny fluid, rear end fluid

The Alfa is 100% road ready and I drive it on weekends. why selling?? While I was waiting on my buddy to sell me this car I found another project that I like better. A 1976 BMW 2002. The Alfa is a great car but a bit small for me. The car has A/C but does not work, power mirrors, 5-speed tranny (2nd synchro grinds a bit), no rust and need body side moldings as I took off the old ones that were glued on. The Alfa looks sharp as you can see in the photos and the 2.0 Ltr motor runs strong with the Bosch fuel injection. No smoke, no oil leaks, not a show queen but a nice driver that gets attention since you don't see them everyday. If I was keeping the car I would do the following while I drove it:

Try buffing out first to get the scratches out, minor body work to remove the dings and dents
Recover the seats and dash
Fix 2nd gear synchro

Im sure you will add to my list but the car is solid and any money you put into it will be a plus for you. It's a 32 year old car and does not have any warranty. Please email me any questions you may have and I will answer as soon as possible. I am listing the car for sale and may remove from ebay auction in the event that I sell the car.

Thanks for looking and good luck. The reserve price is low as I need the funds to pay for the other car.

Fiat reconsidering Mazda-based Alfa Romeo roadster? [w/poll]

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Alfa 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.

Leno samples Corvette Z06, steam cars, supercars and the wonders of Pebble Beach

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

While Jay Leno's Garage was conceived to highlight the wonders of The Big Chin's eponymous storage facility, Leno does occasionally get out an into the larger world. Pebble Beach and the festivities around Monterey recently provided a great excuse for a road trip, and Leno seemingly had a pretty full dance card.
In an episode aptly dubbed The Ultimate Car Week, our host takes us through a pretty representative selection of great things to see in and around Pebble. Starting with a ride-along in a steam car, Jay manages to check in on the latest McLaren supercar and drive the Alfa Romeo 4C along the way. Oh, and he takes a good look at the all-new Corvette Z06 (next to the original Z06) before hitting the Concourse d'Elegance, too.

Mazda and Fiat finalize deal for Alfa roadster, next-gen MX-5 Miata

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

Although 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.
