First year 'coda tronca' kamm tail 1971 Alfa Spider in infamous Alfa color.  Known history, VERY well taken care of its entire life, always garaged, the result is an amazing original car with EXCELLENT patina.  I acquired this car and set out to do a complete restoration as the originality is very much intact.  For example, literally ALL interior pieces are without flaws,  no rips in the rubber floor mats, or most any interior parts for that matter, panels, apron, ALL EXCELLENT, even original seat belts and lighter!...with the exception of the dash, cracked like so many.  I will include a perfect condition dash 'cap' to clean it right up.  I did have the seats redone beautifully in supple leather.  I know, meant to be vinyl, but take the deduction and go leather!  The pictures show the quality.


Last year I paid to have the car (covered truck) trucked to Santos Foreign in Northridge, CA and instructed a blank check mechanical rebuild to make this spider a dependable, safe, usable car.  Doesn't mean I daily drive it, but I could.  In fact I have only put on dry summer miles in and around Lake Tahoe on rare occasions...it drives superbly.  I will include a copy of the build sheet so you can see all the important and expensive work that was done.  (nearly $8k spent in the past year in improvements).  The NEW tranny shifts like butter, so sweet!

These '71 year spider's are the last and ONLY year the peppy high revving 1750 motor was still standard.  These cars are a 'cant miss' future collectible and are yet to see the real appreciation of their older round tail cousins, but it is about now that these cars make a prudent buyer happy!  I am offering two fantastic Alfa Spiders presently, also available, the LAST year of the gorgeous series 2 spider's, check my other items.  

I am an avid collector/lover of Alfa Spiders, and these are my personal cars from my private collection, so see who you are buying from.  I spare no expense while cars are in my possession to make them the best they can be.  I hate to part with these, but am on to other car related activities, so pay serious attention to these offerings if you are seeking a fun vintage collectible Italian convertible!

Hit the buy it now, and I will throw in a set of period correct aftermarket wheels.  YOU CHOOSE the style.  I have set up photos of two uber rare period correct styles....Ruspa's or Oscam's (both Italian boutique wheel company's) and keep the ones on there of course too.. These can go for up to $1,500. a set, so good value added!  

This spider is going to need a fresh paint down the road, but is an attractive rust free 'driver' at present.  Those fugly side protector strips look ungainly, but when cosmetic respray comes, DEFINITELY REMOVE THEM.  For now offering excellent protection.  

The mileage is a baffler...some have speculated original miles.  I do know the previous 2 owners (representing nearly all of its life) barely drove it and wear and tear on the inside reflects the low miles from new?

Share price falls on skepticism of Chrysler-Fiat five-year plan

Thu, 08 May 2014

Following this week's Fiat Chrysler extravaganza, where the Italian-American manufacturer announced its plans for the next five years, the Autoblog staff was cautiously optimistic of the company's future. Investors? Not so much.
Fiat saw its shares tumble 12 percent in Wednesday's trading, falling from 8.67 euros ($12.06 at today's rates) to 7.44 euros ($10.35) as of this writing, with blame partly going to the Italian half of the FCA marriage, which recorded a pretty significant drop in profits during the first quarter of this year.
The plan, which will cost around $77 billion over the next several years, is facing criticism from investors thanks in part to a 1.4-percent drop in Fiat's first-quarter profits, to 622 million euros ($862 million). That figure is also short of Bloomberg analysts' projections, which predicted $1.18 billion in profits before taxes, interest and one-time items.

Alfa Romeo 8C, Maserati Quattroporte and Granturismo models recalled over rust fears

Mon, 20 May 2013

The 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.
