1982 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Convertible 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
|
Up for sale is a really nice 1982 Alfa spider. After hounding my friend for over a year he finally agreed to sell me his Alfa. My friend inherited the car from his mother who bought it brand new at the local dealership in PA. After driving it for a very short time, she garaged it with little over 20,000 miles. My friend got the car and drove it down to South Florida and did a minor restoration to get it back on the road and looking nice. he car was re-sprayed to original factory color. It looks like a dark gray /black or slate. The interior is tan leather with tan/brown carpeting, all original. After driving the car for several years he also garaged it after just 51,000 miles. For a 32 year old car that's 1,600 per year! I wanted a small project car that I could work on in my garage and this was it, no rust, lots of original owner paperwork and known history. The PO did the following during his ownership:
Here is what I have done since buying the car just 3 months ago:
The Alfa is 100% road ready and I drive it on weekends. why selling?? While I was waiting on my buddy to sell me this car I found another project that I like better. A 1976 BMW 2002. The Alfa is a great car but a bit small for me. The car has A/C but does not work, power mirrors, 5-speed tranny (2nd synchro grinds a bit), no rust and need body side moldings as I took off the old ones that were glued on. The Alfa looks sharp as you can see in the photos and the 2.0 Ltr motor runs strong with the Bosch fuel injection. No smoke, no oil leaks, not a show queen but a nice driver that gets attention since you don't see them everyday. If I was keeping the car I would do the following while I drove it:
Im sure you will add to my list but the car is solid and any money you put into it will be a plus for you. It's a 32 year old car and does not have any warranty. Please email me any questions you may have and I will answer as soon as possible. I am listing the car for sale and may remove from ebay auction in the event that I sell the car. Thanks for looking and good luck. The reserve price is low as I need the funds to pay for the other car. |

Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models
Wed, 02 Oct 2013According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.
Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Every 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
Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
