1980 Alfa Romeo Kamm-Tail Spider
Finished in Ferrari Red over a Black interior. An extensive body and paint restoration completed by world renowned body shop "Coachwerks.com" better known for restoring million dollar Mercedes 300SL Gullwings. With tasteful upgrades like louvers in the hood and bumpers removed for a clean look. Wet sanded and polished to a mirror smooth finish. All new or restored: performance suspension, Pirelli tires, exhaust, interior, gas tank, electrical, soft top, two sets of factory wheels, custom paint and powder coating under the hood, and the list goes on. Over $30,000 in receipts alone! No proven drivetrain restoration but this car pulls strong, does not burn oil, compression good across all 4 cyl, Alfa mechanic suggested it has a performance cam, original mechanical fuel injection works flawlessly, suspension and steering is extremely tight (mostly new). It does leave a little oil on the garage floor if sitting but what classic Italian doesn't? This is the best classic I have ever owned and has proven itself on longer drives or just cruising around the city, if you are looking for a classic sports car this is a great example. This car is advertised locally and I do reserve the right to remove it if it sells before the auction closes. I can help to arrange shipping if needed. |

Alfa Romeo 8C, Maserati Quattroporte and Granturismo models recalled over rust fears
Mon, 20 May 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced Maserati and Alfa Romeo are recalling certain Quattroporte, Granturismo and 8C models over potentially faulty tie rod ends. According to NHTSA, 2005-2008 Quattroporte, 2008 Granturismo and 2008 8C units may have been assembled with tie rod ends that have insufficient corrosion protection. As such, the components may rust, weaken and potentially fail. If that happens, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
Maserati and Alfa Romeo will contact owners and replace the tie rod end assemblies once the recall gets underway in June. All told, 7,438 vehicles are impacted by the recall. You can read the full NHTSA notice below for more information.

Alfa Romeo considering Ferrari-developed engines for new product lineup
Sun, 06 Apr 2014A 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.
