THIS CAR CURRENTLY IS NOT DRIVEABLE. 

I did have this car running and driving fine last year. When it is running it is tons of fun. It has manual steering and a manual transmission. It's very light and quick, which makes driving it fun.  As described below, it needs a bit of work to get it back to running order, but it would be a good project car.  I also have a shop manual and a general alfa romeo owners book that I will give the new owner too.

Over all it is in good shape. A 1982 Alfa Romeo Spider Convertible.  The engine runs, but I think that the clutch needs to be replaced. The last time I drove it (Early May) the engine was running, but when I tried to shift into first gear the engine would die. Last summer I had had all electric contacts in the engine bay burnished, the fuel pump replaced, and  the crank timers replaced.. The rear window is split, but the rest of the roof is in good shape. I think that the muffler has a hole in it, because the exhaust is very loud. I'm pretty sure that replacing the muffler will fix the problem. The only gauge that works is the tachometer. The speedometer, fuel gauge, and temp gauges don't work.  The last owner added a new stereo and speakers.  Steering wheel was also refinished by previous owner.  Interior is in good shape, some minor dents and paint chips on the front and back. As far as I know, the car has always been stored inside for winter, so there is very little rust.

Feel free to contact me with other questions. It is UP TO THE BUYER to move the car.

Fiat Chrysler target 850k sales in China by 2018

Sun, 11 May 2014

Behind the vanguard of numerous Jeep models, two Chryslers, a smattering of Fiats and Alfa Romeos and local production through a joint venture with Guangzhou Automotive Group (GAG), Fiat Chrysler wants to increase sales in China more than six-fold by 2018. The group sold 130,000 cars in China in 2013, the aim for 2018 being 850,000 cars.
Ultimately it's expected that the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Wrangler, Renegade, the coming Grand Wagoneer and a sub-Renegade-sized crossover will either be built in or exported to the People's Republic. The Chrysler Town & Country and 300 will join the export list in 2016 and 2018 respectively, according to a report in Automotive News.
With a number of those vehicles not in production or perhaps even envisaged yet, and others not due on the local market until 2018, it will be interesting to see how Fiat Chrysler plans to achieve the target in the specified timeframe. The joint venture with GAG builds two products now, the Dodge Dart-based Fiat Viaggio launched two years ago - supposedly designed just for China - and the just-launched Fiat Ottimo, a hatchback version of the Viaggio. Fiat projected 300,000 Viagio sales in its first two years, that number has been adjusted downward to 94,000 and there doesn't appear to be an analyst alive that sees a good future for Fiat in China's overrun mainstream market. Still, last year's 130,000 group sales in China is a huge jump from 2012 sales of 66,000 units, but less than half the 300,000 units it projected.

Fiat set to invest $12B on new models, stop Euro losses in 3 years

Naturally, 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.

Alfa Romeo to launch eight new products by 2018, increase sales to 400K units

Alfa Romeo will go back to being the brand people admire, according to CEO Harald Wester.
After a few streams of news on the various brands in the Fiat Chrysler family, here's the deluge we've been waiting for - Alfa Romeo. The legendary Italian brand is being pointed towards a renaissance, as shown by the brand's five-year plan.
