This 1984 Alfa Romeo is a Great example of a driver condition Spider. The car runs and drives excellently with no mechanical problems to note.  I have not really had the time I thought I was going to in order to enjoy it this summer, and need to raise money for other projects. I have owned this car the least amount of time of any in my collection, therefore I have the least amount of sentimental attachment to it. The paint and body are very acceptable, the car shows very well and only has a few minor chips and a small dent in the nose. There is no body rust or rust or rust  in the frame whatsoever, however the spare tire well has rusted through in places. This is not visible unless the trunk is open and the wheel is removed, or the car is on a lift, there is no danger of the wheel falling out. a brand new tire well can be ordered from a catalog I will include for something to the effect of $125 but this really isn't necessary. The interior is in great condition, with the only issue to note being that the trunk release panel has come loose and the trunk must be released by pulling on the cable. again, this is a part that is available brand new in the aforementioned Alfa/Fiat catalog. I had bought this car as a project a few months ago and have just recently finished it. as far as I know the only things this car really needs now are for the A/C to be charged (it blows cool, not cold) and the vent fan to be lubed, a right turn signal bulb to be changed, the trunk release panel replaced, and one of the "Spider Veloce" scripts replaced. there is also the typical difficulty with second gear, it does not usually grind, but it is tough to get in to second sometimes. I had really intended on just keeping it, but after spending nearly $2500 on repairs and parts and with so many other things requiring my attention and money right now, I do not have much choice but to let it go. Everything listed below was done by my Mechanic, who has serviced this car for both myself and the previous owner, aside from the radiator replacement and oil/air filter changes which I did myself. I have receipts for all work completed. I will also include the tool necessary for removing the license plate, and the one for removing the oil drain plug, as well as a spare belt.

 I or my mechanic have completed the following within the past 3 months-

Clutch replaced

Rear wheel bearings replaced

Drive shaft couplings replaced

Axel shaft collar and seals replaced

Differential oil changed

Engine oil and filter changed (Mobile 1 15w50 synthetic)

Radiator and radiator hoses replaced (Brand new, not from salvage)

Changed the air filter to a high flow K&N.

*The soft top is near brand new, but it was replaced by the previous owner, so it is probably close to a year old. 

This really is a fun little car that does not require anything to be enjoyable the day it is delivered to the winning bidder. As I stated, it is a driver, not a show car, so it has small imperfections, but overall it shows well, runs and drives excellently, and has had lots of recent maintenance. It should offer lots of motoring fun for years to come. I will be more than happy to answer any questions about the car from serious bidders. the buyer is responsible for shipping charges and arrangement, please only bid if you have the means to pay for it.

332,000 Jeep, Fiat and Alfa Romeo models recalled over faulty seat belt buckle sensors

Wed, Jul 10 2024

Stellantis has recalled 332,000 Alfa Romeo, Jeep, and Fiat vehicles in the United States due to faulty seat belt sensors. Included in the recall are certain 2017-2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia and 2018-2025 Stelvio models along with 2019-2023 Fiat 500X, Jeep Renegade, and 2024 Fiat 500E models. According to documents posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "A disrupted connector on the buckle switch hall effect may affect the conduction on the connectors of the seat wiring and buckle which may cause the front seat air bag to not perform as expected during a crash." In more simple terms, the sensor that tells the vehicle's onboard computer if an occupant's seat belt is buckled may fail. If this happens, an airbag may not inflate in the event of a crash as intended. As of June 26, 2024, Stellantis says it has identified 578 field reports in North America potentially related to this issue. "The remedy will be to replace the connector by directly wiring the sensor to the harness with a solder tube," according to documentation provided by Stellantis. All repairs will be made free of charge.

Maserati Grecale and Alfa Romeo Tonale delayed

Mon, Oct 18 2021

MILAN — Maserati on Monday delayed the launch of its new Grecale SUV until the spring of 2022 from November this year due to a global chip shortage. The announcement by the luxury brand, part of Stellantis, comes as a shortage of semiconductors forces automakers around the world to slow or suspend production. Maserati said its decision stemmed from ongoing disruptions in the supply of parts. "In particular, due to a scarcity of semiconductors, production volumes would not adequately meet expected global demand," Maserati said in a statement. A global premiere for the Grecale, which will be produced in Cassino in central Italy, was initially scheduled for Nov. 16. Stellantis this month also confirmed it would present the Tonale, the new Alfa Romeo SUV, next March after it had been expected at the end of this year. Stellantis, formed this year though the merger of Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, has halted production at several plants, including in Europe and Canada, due to the chip shortage. It has forecast it will produce 1.4 million fewer vehicles this year. The FIM-CISL union has said the impact of a semiconductor shortage on Stellantis' Italian production this year will be worse and longer-lasting than the damage to output caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.
