Condition: UsedSeller Notes:"his Alfa Romeo Spider is a true gem and is in absolutely MINT condition throughout. It was purchased on California and completely stripped down. Entire car was rebuilt to specification using original Alfa Romeo parts by licensed Alfa Romeo technicians. The engine is an inline 4 cylinder with only 8953Kms – only driven in summer. Red exterior with black leather interior. This car has upgraded Momo rims and an upgraded Alpine Stereo system. Bumpers were also upgraded and original bumper are included as well. The vehicle was appraised at $35,000 (official documentation will be provided)."

This 1978 Alfa Romeo Spider was originally purchased in California over twenty years ago, 1990, and was meticulously restored to the pristine condition as seen in the pictures. The Spider was Alfa Yellow when purchased and was free from any rust. The Spider was restored from the ground up and the paint converted to the classic Alfa Red.  Each part was completely taken apart and was either restored or replaced with original Alfa Parts. For example the stainless steel performance exhaust system was purchased in Italy and brought over as nothing suitable could be found in North America. The bumpers were converted to European Bumpers, but NA ones will also be provided if purchased.  The interior was completely restored while preserving the interior components that were not blemished. The 2.0 Litre Engine was completely re-built by an Alfa Romeo technician and engine specialist.  The original rims were changed for Momo 5 Star rims.
 
This Spider is unlike any other Spider out there, as you can see from the others listed here on ebay. You will not find a better Spider out there. The appraiser who came to see the vehicle said, and I quote, "I've never seen a vehicle this well done. Not even if it rolled off the production lot of Alfa Romeo, or any brand, would a vehicle look this good."
 
So if you are looking for an immaculate Spider, look no further as this car is worth every penny.  You will never find a better Spider than this and you will not be disappointed when you sit behind the wheel and drive it.

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

Fiat set to invest $12B on new models, stop Euro losses in 3 years

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Naturally, 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.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
