WOW LOOK AT THIS! VERY RARE 1971 ALFA ROMEO 1750 SPIDER CONVERTIBLE CALIFORNIA CAR! THIS CAR IS VERY DESIRABLE WITH THE HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER "CAM TAIL" AND FEATURES MECHANICAL FUEL INJECTION! THIS CAR SHOWS JUST OVER 82k ON A WORKING ODOMETER.
The car was a barn-find, found a few years ago. Since that time, the owner spent lots of time and money on the car to make mechanically-sound and good looking. Here is some of the work that has been done:
- NEW PAINT
- NEW TOP
- NEW BRAKES
- NEW CALIPERS
- NEW ROTORS
- NEW PLUGS/WIRES
- NEW DISTRIBUTOR CAP
- NEW CONDENSER
- NEW POINTS
- NEW FUEL & AIR FILTER
- RECONDITIONED RADIATOR
- NEWER TIRES
- NEWER BATTERY
The car looks great with the candy apple red exterior paint that has one heck of a shine! Mechanically, the car is very sound...it shifts great and rides excellent.
To make the car perfect, there are some small items that will need addressed. The center gauge cluster does not work (above the radio), the seats have rips, the passenger door handle is missing. There are also a few dents here and there on the car, but nothing major. All-in-all, this is a very fine example of a rare Alfa Romeo from the period.
The car came from California and looks very good underneath. This is not a rust bucket - it has much potential for a restoration or drive it as-is and have yourself a FUN LITTLE DRIVER!

On May-26-13 at 11:53:07 PDT, seller added the following information:
THIS IS CALLED THE "KAMM TAIL" ON THIS CAR. ALSO, THIS ENGINE IS THE 1779cc 1.8L DOHC. Ebay did not have an option for this in the listing information and incorrectly listed the engine as the 1962cc version, which would make this a 2000.
We also have a ton of additional parts that go with the car, as well as the original California license plates, owners books, and some additional original paperwork. The parts are extensive, filling a whole table and some are NIB. Ebay will not allow any more photos to be posted, so if you would like me to email you the photos of the parts, please send me a question through the listing. Thanks!

Fiat set to invest $12B on new models, stop Euro losses in 3 years
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Naturally, you'd expect a massive automaker like Fiat to have an in-depth plan to exit the current European-market doldrums, and you'd expect that plan to include plenty of new vehicles to attract those precious buyers that still remain despite the financial downturn. And you'd be right, though Fiat does seem to have a few unexpected twists up its corporate sleeve.
Perhaps the biggest shocker is a report that Fiat will completely drop the Punto, a car with mass-market appeal aimed at small-car buyers cross-shopping the popular Volkswagen Polo. Its replacement will be a five-door Fiat 500 aimed at upmarket buyers (sounds awfully similar to the 500L) that will be built in Poland. Lower-end customers will reportedly be served by variants of the Fiat Panda.
Borrowing a page from the BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen playbook, reports Automotive News, Fiat is said to have plans to reignite production at its Italian factories by retooling them to build high-end vehicles from Maserati and Alfa Romeo. These will be marketed as premium products, built by skilled Italian workers (who are paid wages that are 75-percent higher than those building Fiats in Poland), and will be sold around the world.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

Next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata mule spied 'Ring testing
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Fans of simple, lightweight motoring, rejoice - we now have images of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata undergoing testing at der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, to be fair, this isn't some lightly camouflaged example that will give us a great peak of what the next Miata, which will also become the next Alfa Romeo Spider, will look like. This is a mule, with the new bits hidden under a current Miata's body. That doesn't mean there aren't a few scraps of valuable information here, though.
According to our flock of camera-toting spies at the Nürburgring, the next Miata is likely to grow a bit, as new models are wont to do. In particular, it will be longer and wider, and the wheelbase is likely going to be stretched, based on the shape of the wheel wells and doors. Both of those factors will add more space in the cabin.
Those are the big indications provided by these photos, but while the MX-5 might be growing, it's a safe bet based on these images that it, and the (likely pricier) Alfa, will retain the classic, long-hood, short-deck styling that so typifies rear-drive roadsters.
