This 1992 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce is an ideal project or parts car and is sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS. Was my father-in-law's, a big Alfa fan. Unfortunately he had a serious medical condition that VERY rapidly deteriorated his Alzheimer's and he died. After the estate stuff had been settled we wound up with this car and another Alfa (a 1994 164 LS for parts/project that we sold last month). This car "ran when parked" and the reason it was parked was because some electrical issue popped up (the fusebox is exactly the way my FiL left it as he was working on it). The car only has 38 thousand miles, is black/black and has a removable hardtop, also black. My FiL took forever to find it. As of the last time I looked, the Spider has zero rust. The interior is in good shape with no rips or tears and only 2-3 spots (the size of pencil erasers) where the suede on the driver's seat is worn. The car also has some aftermarket parts installed (any originals we have are also included) such as 16" Serpent Autosport Type 2 wheels and Pirelli P-Zero tires (we have the originals, too) , International Auto Parts performance springs (and I think also shocks, but I'd have to double check that) and an International Auto Parts chassis stiffener. It also has a "chip" from Squadra in Europe and the original is still in the glove compartment.

The top bow of the convertible top needs to be replaced, and the hardtop needs rear mounting hardware. One of the "vent" windows (I forget which) needs to have its lever re-glued. The owner before my FiL -- instead of washing it -- used "cleaner wax" so the paint will need a good polishing, and there are a couple of shallow parking dents on the nose that SHOULD pop out with one of those suction things the paintless dent removal guys use. It comes with the original cassette player. It came with most of the maintenance records. There are also fabric seat covers that were never installed and 2-3 Alfa books and a bunch of parts I can't recognize in orange and black Alfa Romeo boxes. There is also an extra "European" steering wheel and shift knob an a read badge that says "Twin Spark" (he was going to do that conversion but died before he could) and an extra turn signal cluster. And anything else we can find.

When my husband connected it to a car charger, the dashboard lit up. But it won't start (it won't make a sound, etc.) and I don't know if the issue is minor (and therefore a cheap fix) or not. Our combined mechanical skills are fueling cars and taking them to the shop. (The shop that used to service these closed several years ago...) There is no warranty, expressed or implied or even incidentally hinted at.

Therefore I'm starting this listing for only one cent and NO RESERVE. A $500 deposit will be due via PayPal within 48 hours of the auction's end, and the rest within 3 business days.

Title is clear. The car will need to be trailered to wherever you are. We can help when the transporter gets here, but transport costs and arrangements are exclusively the winning bidder's responsibility.

I'll try to answer any questions as best as I can but I'm not very familiar with these cars and not mechanically inclined, but I'll try my best. I figure the parts alone would be a terrific bargain and if you can figure out the electrical issue you may have a steal.

Thanks!

P.S. That thin white line at the bottom of the hardtop is a scratch.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012

After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.

Alfa Romeo considering Ferrari-developed engines for new product lineup

Sun, 06 Apr 2014

A report in Bloomberg adds more details to the plans for Alfa Romeo's fourth turnaround plan in Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne's tenure, and this time Ferrari is apparently going to be part of the show. In December Automotive News Europe reported that a new Maserati-derived rear-drive architecture would be the centerpiece at Alfa Romeo, as well as coming Chrysler and Dodge products. At the time, ANE said the platform would support a new midsize sedan and wagon perhaps to be called Giulia, a fullsize sedan and a midsize crossover, with retail appearance of the product initiative commencing perhaps as soon as next year. It would be part of Fiat's $12.3-billion spend on new models and European recovery.
The Bloomberg report says that particulars haven't been finalized, but the plan is to have six new Alfas appear over the next five years, two of which would be SUVs. The futures of the Mito and Giulietta, two of the three cars Alfa currently sells and 99 percent of sales last year, aren't assured, meaning that the lineup in six years could be seven cars (including the 4C), six of which we haven't any definitive clue of yet. The top-tier versions of those cars, according to the report - perhaps the Quadrifoglio Verde - "will be equipped with motors developed by Ferrari."
Marchionne wants to get sales up to 300,000 units per year when the lineup is complete, pairing Alfa sales with Jeep's global dealer network to open up the retail channel. That kind of volume would get Fiat's Italian plants back in business properly, even though Marchionne's stance on Italy-only Alfa production would mean the end of the anticipated roadster that was to be twinned with the coming Mazda MX-5 Miata. Alfa's direction will be laid out in Detroit in May as part of the overall strategy presentation for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV.

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Every 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
