Novi, Michigan, United States

Up for auction at "No Reserve" is a 1989 Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio Spider. Vin # ZARBA5563K1064990.
Clear Car Fax. Clear "Michigan" Title 91,560 Original Miles. I will be adding more pictures within the next few days. Due to an unexpected opportunity I am having to offer my 1989 Quadrifoglio Spider up for auction at "No Reserve". The Quadrifoglio was part of an estate and I was told that the owner purchased it off the showroom floor of the local Alfa dealer in Kentucky in 1989 with 8000 miles on it. It was kept in the same family for the entire ownership as it was conveyed to me. The Alfa has seen little use over the years showing only 91,000 miles. Has not been used for at the last year if not longer. Will need some general maintenance work as noted in the description below. For those that are not familiar with the Quadrifoglio Model, it was the top of the line model offered at the time. The Quadrifoglio came with a color coded factory "hard top", special "recaro" style seats and a factory body kit as well as special 15 inch "phone dial wheels". This example is completely stock down to the original factory shift knob and radio. The body is in good original condition as shown in the pictures. The paint on the Alfa is weak and really would benefit from a repaint. The body shows previous paint work that does not match very well. There are also numerous chips, cracking in the paint and scratches that have occurred over the years, including a good sized scratch on the right front fender as shown in the pictures. These imperfections in the paint do not show up very well in the pictures, but upon closer inspection paint condition is quite evident. The body itself is very solid with excellent panel gaps on the doors, trunk lid and hood. The floor pan is in good condition with no evidence of rust or damage. Rust is limited to a small "bubble" at the lower portion of the driver's side front fender and also there is a soft spot in the spare tire well. Hard Top has small 1 inch crack. Lower valance below rear bumper has 2 cracks in each corner - not very noticeable but worth mentioning. Has small "outie" dent from battery. Nose panel is in nice condition with no damage. Trunk carpet in very nice condition. The interior is in excellent original condition showing very little wear. The dash is very nice with a few small cracks near the defroster, but not the typical large cracks. The factory leather seats are in good condition. Both door panels are in nice condition however the driver's side needs new mounting clips. The dash itself as well as the center console are all in very nice condition as shown in the pictures. The original "red" carpet is in very nice condition as is the rear jump seat area. Has original convertible top that could use replacing. The original factory radio and power antenna both work fine. The 2 Liter engine starts up easily and runs quietly with no strange noises. As best as I can tell there has not been any major work done to the engine and I suspect that the head has never been off. With many Alfa's, there is some indication that the headgasket will need to be replaced at some point since I can see some oil in the overflow bottle. The Alfa does not have any noticeable oil leaks underneath. Gearbox seems fine with typical weak second gear syncro. Clutch pedal feels a little soft and may need to be bled, but does not have any issues getting into gear. Lights, blinkers, wipers & heater motor work fine. All lenses in good condition with no cracks or damage. Has new center section of the exhaust. Known issues: Needs tires Paint is weak Convertible top is original Gas lid cable needs replacing - can be opened from the outside. Rust spot on lower front fender Spare tire well has soft spot Small star crack in the windshield AC not hooked up Passenger side window regulator not working Misc. maintenance The Alfa Spider is being sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied. I cannot be held responsible for any errors or inaccuracies that may have been inadvertently been provided. Please have your finds in order prior to bidding. Shipping is up to the buyer to arrange. As stated, the Quad represents a wonderful opportunity for the Alfa enthusiast that is looking for a solid example at a low price. Comes with a clear Michigan title. Will need some general work/maintenance as noted in the description. The buyer should expect other normal wear and tear items to be addressed as would be expected of a 25 year old vintage sports car. Sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied. I have done my best to describe the Alfa to the best of my ability, however there may be some things that I may have missed. It is up to the buyer to do due diligence when making a purchase online. Do not make any assumptions about anything. Ask any questions that may not have been addressed. I am not responsible for any errors or erroneous misinformation. I will be adding more pictures within the next few days. For the motivated buyer, I will consider ending the auction early for a serious offer. "NO RESERVE AUCTION" The fine print: If you have 5 or less feedback transactions, you must contact me prior to bidding. A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 is due within 24 hours of the auction end. If the deposit is not received, the Alfa will be offered to the next highest bidder. The balance is due within 7 days of the auction end date. The car must be picked up within 10 days of the auction end date. A $10.00 per day storage fee will be charged after the 10 days unless prior arrangements have been made. I have sold several vintage cars to overseas buyers with the buyers being extremely pleased with the sale. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. |

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
Next Mazda MX-5 Miata headed for 2015 Chicago debut
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Twenty-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.
