This 1984 Alfa Romeo is a Great example of a driver condition Spider. The car runs and drives excellently with no mechanical problems to note.  I have not really had the time I thought I was going to in order to enjoy it this summer, and need to raise money for other projects. I have owned this car the least amount of time of any in my collection, therefore I have the least amount of sentimental attachment to it. The paint and body are very acceptable, the car shows very well and only has a few minor chips and a small dent in the nose. There is no body rust or rust or rust  in the frame whatsoever, however the spare tire well has rusted through in places. This is not visible unless the trunk is open and the wheel is removed, or the car is on a lift, there is no danger of the wheel falling out. a brand new tire well can be ordered from a catalog I will include for something to the effect of $125 but this really isn't necessary. The interior is in great condition, with the only issue to note being that the trunk release panel has come loose and the trunk must be released by pulling on the cable. again, this is a part that is available brand new in the aforementioned Alfa/Fiat catalog. I had bought this car as a project a few months ago and have just recently finished it. as far as I know the only things this car really needs now are for the A/C to be charged (it blows cool, not cold) and the vent fan to be lubed, a right turn signal bulb to be changed, the trunk release panel replaced, and one of the "Spider Veloce" scripts replaced. there is also the typical difficulty with second gear, it does not usually grind, but it is tough to get in to second sometimes. I had really intended on just keeping it, but after spending nearly $2500 on repairs and parts and with so many other things requiring my attention and money right now, I do not have much choice but to let it go. Everything listed below was done by my Mechanic, who has serviced this car for both myself and the previous owner, aside from the radiator replacement and oil/air filter changes which I did myself. I have receipts for all work completed. I will also include the tool necessary for removing the license plate, and the one for removing the oil drain plug, as well as a spare belt.

 I or my mechanic have completed the following within the past 3 months-

Clutch replaced

Rear wheel bearings replaced

Drive shaft couplings replaced

Axel shaft collar and seals replaced

Differential oil changed

Engine oil and filter changed (Mobile 1 15w50 synthetic)

Radiator and radiator hoses replaced (Brand new, not from salvage)

Changed the air filter to a high flow K&N.

*The soft top is near brand new, but it was replaced by the previous owner, so it is probably close to a year old. 

This really is a fun little car that does not require anything to be enjoyable the day it is delivered to the winning bidder. As I stated, it is a driver, not a show car, so it has small imperfections, but overall it shows well, runs and drives excellently, and has had lots of recent maintenance. It should offer lots of motoring fun for years to come. I will be more than happy to answer any questions about the car from serious bidders. the buyer is responsible for shipping charges and arrangement, please only bid if you have the means to pay for it.

Next Mazda MX-5 Miata headed for 2015 Chicago debut

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Twenty-six years after it was introduced at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the much anticipated fourth generation Mazda MX-5 Miata will meet the press at the 2015 Chicago show. A piece in Autocar refines some of the details on the larger, lighter Miata that a Mazda insider has said will be "our best-looking car ever."
The company has relented on the quest for the metric tonne, the 1000-kilogram (2,200-pound) target too difficult to achieve in light of cost constraints. You can still expect it to lose a generous dollop of weight - Autocar says a curb weight of 1,100 kg (2,420 pounds) will still make it the lightest in its class. And Mazda will be stressing a fun driving experience through light weight and a modest amount of naturally-aspirated horsepower. Engine capacities of 1.5 and 2.0 liters are expected. Sounds familiar (and good), right?
The Miata's interpretation of Kodo design will be veer from that found on the Mazda3 and Mazda6, with "very clean and simple" lines marking out "more muscular proportions" and elongated bodywork on a longer wheelbase. A stretched engine bay will make room for the current Skyactiv engine and perhaps the future Skyactiv 2 powerplants, initial reports suggesting there could be a 30-percent increase in fuel economy from the moment it arrives.

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

As 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:

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.
