1974 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Convertible 2-door 2.0l *no Reserve!!! on 2040-cars
Ormond Beach, Florida, United States
|
I am in my seventies and it is time to sell
my driver quality Alfa Romeo. Last fall I turned the car over to an experienced
Alfa technician with the instructions to properly mechanically prep this
vehicle for an eventual sale. Items that were fixed and/or improved
include (but are not limited to) new front seal and pulley plus injection pump
belt, new brake master cylinder and rubber wheel hoses, new high performance
electronic ignition (RML?), new Bosch coil, new Bosch electric fuel pump and
related fuel lines, new emergency brake cable and related hardware and, of
course, all associated fluids and filters. Total cost for parts and labor (will
include receipt) was $3267.43!!! After having worked on the car and having
driven the car for a couple of days, the mechanic is convinced the
odometer miles are true. The cockpit of the Alfa is in very nice, mostly
original and in highly detailed condition. It still has the original rubber
mats throughout. The floors are solid and I applied 3m sound control mats
beneath the rubber. The door panels are straight and door jambs present very
well. The engine compartment is clean and in original unaltered condition. The
luggage compartment is also very clean, nicely detailed and it houses an almost
new spare tire mounted on a bead blasted and refinished steel rim. The original
working jack has been refinished along with the factory lug wrench. This is a
color change car having been painted in base/clear coat some years ago by a
previous owner. The original color was a factory off white (see photo of
luggage compartment without mat). The paint job, not show quality, still shines
nicely. The convertible top is an older vinyl one that is still weather tight. I
have always kept the top folded beneath the boot cover having only driven the
car in good weather. The tires are in very good condition, showing little tread
wear. Included in the sale are two original ignition keys, an original owner's
manual, a service manual, the original distributor and cap, the original coil,
new metal side emblems and a new reproduction chrome side view mirror with Alfa
Romeo logo (from International Auto Parts). The Alfa will need rocker panel
work in time (a previous owner had some correction done but not to a high
standard). Repair panels were fabricated rather than using factory
replacements. These things are taken into consideration by offering the car at
a rather low and NO RESERVE starting bid (I have two and a half times that
amount invested). The Alfa starts up, runs, drives and stops extremely well. Clutch
activity and shifting is very good (second gear is no problem after brief
gearbox warm-up). The car is garage kept and covered when it is not in use (see
picture) and cover is included with sale. |

Fiat 124 Abarth Spider spied, may get Alfa 4C power
Tue, Jul 14 2015We've long been excited to see, hear, and drive the car that results from the in-process Fiat-Mazda partnership. The Italian brand has had access to the excellent 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on which to base its own roadster, and the fruits of that labor will soon ripen. Spied here is not only the ensuing Fiat 124, but a hotter Abarth tuned version of the spider. At least, that's what we're hoping. Our spy shooters indicated that the car seen here not only sounded more aggressive than 'standard' 124 mules seen previously, but that it also accelerated away from their long lenses with a smartness. The 124 Spider is already rumored to make use of the 1.4-liter turbo I4 that makes 160 horsepower in the Fiat 500 Abarth, and this version may have a still-more-powerful engine. Another tell about the added output are the quad tailpipes in place of the lesser car's set of two. There's no hard evidence to support exactly which engine might be under the 124's hood, however. It's possible that the 1.7-liter turbo from Alfa Romeo 4C could be in play – with its 237-hp output – as the 124 was originally going to wear an Alfa badge. If that were to happen, however, the Fiat would almost certainly get a dual-clutch transmission instead of the purer manual box. In any event, more details about the car will no doubt crop up closer to the expected reveal this fall. Related Video:

These 'blind' automotive world record stunts have to stop
Wed, Dec 7 2016Drivers setting world records "blind" – wearing a blindfold or with something obscuring the windshield – is the new thing for some reason. First it was an Alfa Romeo Giulia setting a blind lap at Silverstone with help from a spotter trailing behind, and now this: a stunt man doing a J-turn within a narrow path with nothing but a Nissan Juke's cameras guiding him. He matched the "sighted" J-turn record, flipping the car around in a space about 7 inches longer than the car. I have two issues with these stunts. First, there are just too many world records. Yeah, I said it. Are these meaningful? Is someone else likely to ever attempt this feat? No, because it's just marketing, both for the manufacturer and whoever's still trying to sell those annual books. Stuff like the fastest production car is fine with me. Heck, I'll even take unofficial Nurburgring times – the kind where the drivers can actually see. Second, I'm all for stunts, but do something cool! And preferably something that could only be performed with that particular car, if you're going to make an ad out of it. Yes, the Juke has an Around View Monitor system, which stitches together feeds from four cameras to make it look like the car is being filmed by a drone hovering overhead. I happen to love 360-degree cameras – they let you see things that are just not visible from the driver's seat and make parking and low-speed maneuvering really easy. But the Juke isn't the first car to offer one, and the feature isn't even new to the car. Nissan was at least forthright enough to admit that this professional driver (on a closed course!) had a bunch of practice. But this really says more about his precision driving skills than about the car, or the camera. And just so we're clear, you really shouldn't try to park a car without looking out the windows, even if you have fancy cameras. So what's next? Pretty soon there will be a record for blindest blind stunt. Let me know when someone actually does something interesting. Related Video:
