I recently  purchased this Spider with the idea of parting it out, but it drives well--runs so good I thought someone might want to save it. Starts right up, no smoke, no noises, and no leaks. Shifts and drives fine,but I've only  driven it a short distance as it's not registered. Holds good oil pressure. temp is fine. Gauges all work except speedo-  odometer works, not speedo. Shows 65K miles and the 2008  title shows 63K actual so it might be real, but no guarantees. Interior is in nice overall shape-  seats are not split or ripped at all. No dash cracks. Has a newer Stereo/ C/D that works.

Power windows work, bumpers are straight and nice, doors open and close easily, and all gaps are very  good. .

Now for the not so good-  as you  can see there is considerable rust-  worst on the driver's side rockers and fender bottoms, some elsewhere-  please check the photos closely. The spare tire well has a large hole from rust, otherwise trunk is solid. I'm not a body man -  I don't know  about how extensive the rust may  be.  Paint is poor, and it should have a new top. Might be able to get away  with a new rear window, and a small patch near the window. It's a manual top and works fine. Wheels are Crodora14 inch 5 spoke and are in nice shape and include centers. Int Auto Parts lists repos of these in their catalog for $300  EACH.

Exhaust looks pretty  new, but needs a hanger at the back for the tailpipe.

 I'm selling it as a project car or in the worst case a parts car. Obviously  AS IS, where is. I'm located between Ft Myers and Sarasota FL-  you're welcome to come look prior to purchase, and feel free to ask any  questions.   NO RESERVE,  High bidder  gets it.

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.

Marchionne threatens to move Alfa production out of Italy

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

Fiat 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.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
