CURRENT OWNER SINCE NOV. 2002

MY CUSTOMER PURCHASED IT FROM THE BOSTON AREA.

I HAVE SERVICED THE CAR SINCE HE BOUGHT IT.

THIS GTV IS A NICE DRIVER THAT HAS HAD A GOOD LIFE BUT NOT A PAMPERED LIFE.

IT WAS ORIGINALLY SAND COLOR BUT WAS PAINTED RED I WOULD ESTIMATE SOMEWHERE IN THE LATE 90'S.

THE PAINT JOB IS A REASONABLE REPAINT BUT CERTAINLY NOT TO SHOW CAR STANDARDS.

THERE WAS NEW SHEETMETAL WELDED INTO THE FLOORS ABOUT 5 + YEARS AGO AND THEN THE FLOORS WERE SANDED TO BARE METAL AND COATED WITH PRIMER AND PAINTED WITH RUSTOLEUM BLACK.

REAR SEATING / DECK AREA WAS FINE AND NOT TOUCHED.

SEATS AND CARPETING WERE REMOVED FOR THE ABOVE METAL REPAIR.

NEW FRONT SEAT UPHOLSTERY KITS WERE PURCHASED AND INSTALLED BY A TRIM SHOP.

REAR SEAT IS ORIGINAL - SEAT BOTTOMS ARE GOOD - SEAT BACKS HAVE A SMALL TEAR .

DOOR PANELS ARE VERY NICE .

THE DRIVER'S SIDE KICK PANEL HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A PIECE OF WOOD VENEER.

PASSENGER SIDE KICK PANEL IS ORIGINAL WITH MAP POCKET.

PLEASE SEE PICTURES.

HEADLINER IS IN GOOD TO GOOD PLUS CONDITION.

DASHBOARD HAS A DASH CAP ON IT.

SO ORIGINAL DASH TOP NEEDS RESTORATION.

GAUGES WORK FINE.

RADIO IS NOT WIRED IN.

BODY HAS MINOR DINGS AND DENTS .

BUMPERS THE SAME .

FRONT GRILL HAS SOME PITTING COULD USE A REPLATING.

EVEN THOUGH THE FLOORS HAVE HAD SOME METAL RESTORATION THE BODY OVERALL HAS HELD UP REASONABLY WELL.

JACK POINTS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE ALONG WITH THE INNER SILLS AND OUTER PANELS.

TRUNK FLOOR ALSO IS IN GOOD SHAPE ALTHOUGH THE SPARE TIRE WELL HAS HAD SOME MINOR REPAIR WORK DONE IN THE PAST.

UNFORTUNATELY THE FRONT BOX SECTION WHERE THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR IS ATTACHED AND THE RADIATOR BOTTOM SUPPORT AREA IS RUSTED AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT / RESTORATION.

PLEASE SEE PICTURES.

THAT SAID THE BAR IS SECURELY ATTACHED AS IS THE RADIATOR.

CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE ABOVE CONDITION SINCE THE OWNER BOUGHT IT.

ALSO WHEN I PERFORMED THE RADIATOR SERVICE / REPAIR I HAD NO PARTICULAR PROBLEMS REFITTING THE RADIATOR.

GLASS IS GOOD AND SO IS THE RETAINING TRIM.

CAR RUNS AND DRIVES WELL.

I HAVE TAKEN A COMPRESSION TEST AND ALL 4 CYLINDERS ARE 150 + TO 160 PSI. EACH.

IT HAS A FUEL INJECTION MANIFOLD ADAPTOR KIT [ SHANKLE ? ! ] FOR THE CARBS.

FUEL TANK WAS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND RESEALED BY THE RADIATOR SHOP I USE.

RADIATOR WAS RECORED A FEW YEARS AGO.

BRAKE SERVICE WAS DONE ALSO A FEW YEARS AGO.

ALSO AN O.E. CISAM EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED A FEW YEARS AGO.

GEAR BOX WORKS FINE BUT DOES NEED TO BE WARMED UP BEFORE 2 ND GEAR IS AT ITS BEST.

A BOX REBUILD IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE.

CLUTCH AND RELATED HYDRAULICS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION.

SUSPENSION IS OLD BUT STILL IN DECENT ORDER.

TIRES ARE OLD AND NEED REPLACEMENT.

HEATER FAN MOTOR IS FROZEN AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR.

A GOOD USED SPARE HEATER FAN ASSEMBLY IS INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE.

FAN HAS BEEN TESTED AND BOTH SPEEDS WORK FINE.

WIPER ASSEMBLY WORKS FINE.

MY CUSTOMER BOUGHT THIS GTV IN NOV. 2002 FROM THE EAST COAST / BOSTON AREA.

HE HAS TAKEN GOOD CARE OF IT , GARAGED AND RARELY DRIVES IT.

SO DO TO THE FACT OF HIM RARELY DRIVING IT HE HAS DECIDED TO SELL IT .

HE IS A MOTIVATED SELLER AND HAS LOWERED THE RESERVE.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS IS BASICALLY A GOOD GTV, A NICE DRIVER BUT IT IS NOT A 90 + POINT SHOW CAR.

I BELIEVE IT IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A FUTURE RESTORATION .

CAR IS OPEN TO ANY INSPECTION.

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.

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 to make Alfa Romeo a separate company within Fiat

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

According to a report in Automotive News that quotes "people familiar with the matter," the next big play in Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne's plan for Alfa Romeo is to break it off from Fiat Group Automobiles and set it up as a separate company within the Fiat empire, giving it the same structure as Ferrari and Maserati. The idea, say the sources, is that a transparent, standalone Alfa Romeo that has to justify its every move could clearly prove its success in the public financial statements it would have to report, finally achieving Marchionne's aim of making Alfa Romeo "a credible business proposition."
That, of course, assumes that Alfa Romeo will make a success of it. The brand hasn't made a profit in any year of Marchionne's decade at the helm; sales last year fell to numbers not seen in almost half a century and its new product offensive might not include the two vehicles currently responsible for 99 percent of its sales. We're told that the brand's six new models will begin arriving in 2016 - a roadster, a midsize sedan and large sedan, a compact SUV and large SUV, and a large coupe.
Marchionne aims to expand Alfa's global appeal in several ways, the first by stressing that they are Italian products that 'belong' to Italy. This is the stance that appears to have put the kibosh on the roadster twinned with the coming Mazda MX-5/Miata. Alfa Romeos will all be made in their home country, and if they take off they'll help bandage Fiat's problem with underused plant capacity, a bugbear that is just as problematic culturally and politically as financially. Top-tier trims would use V6 engines developed by Ferrari, and global access would get a boost by selling Alfa Romeos in Jeep's 1,700 international dealerships.
