Red 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Convertible Roadster, 2 door, manual 5 speed. I purchased in San Diego CA and shipped it to MA on an enclosed carrier. NOT A PROJECT CAR. It has never been snowed on, or driven in salt on roads. Rust free. Always starts right up. Runs and drives well. It has spent winters inside and covered. Can handle the highway. Black and gray interior, power windows, approximately 57,000 original miles. Has AM/FM/CD player, 4 new pioneer speakers, and new black interior carpeting last season. I have only put about 3000 miles on it since I purchased it in CA several years ago. The paint is bright red, there are a few light scratches that could be buffed out by an auto body shop, and one small patch of darker red about 2inx1in on the passenger door. The dashboard has the customary cover. The original cover underneath has the characteristic cracking in the vinyl but is not noticeable with the cover. The Alfa has never been in an accident and has a clear windshield. The pictures make the paint look faded but it is not, its just the sun glare on the phone lens. This car does not have a/c, or a spare tire/jack. The car is currently on the road with a current inspection, plates, and registration. There is an odometer disclosure because the speedometer and odometer are not currently working. I'm selling the car because I don't; get to use it as much as I'd like and I'm looking to downsize my personal expenses, otherwise I'd keep it, its a head turner and fun to drive especially on country roads.
I have spent time and nearly $15,000 replacing the following, all which have less than 3000 miles on them. All work has been done by a professional auto mechanic:
Four New Tires
New Tie Rod Ends
New Pitman Arm
New Brake Master Cylinder
New Clutch Master Cylinder
New various Vacuum Hoses
Driver Seat Cushion
Driver Side Power Window Motor
Driver Side Door Check

Ralph Gilles talks minivans, Millennials, mobility, and kissing Alfa Romeos
Fri, Jan 13 2017We sat down with Ralph Gilles, the global head of design for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show. The veteran stylist has worked for the company for 25 years, and oversees the design of all of the products in the FCA portfolio – everything from mobility pods to Maseratis. This serves Gilles just fine, as his personal automotive interests are exceedingly diverse. The FCA stand was unusually quiet (until Vice President Joe Biden stopped by at the end of our time there) and Gilles was willing to weigh in on a wide range of subjects. Autoblog: We're seeing all of these autonomous mobility pods like Portal being presented at auto shows like CES or NAIAS, but we're not seeing any adoption of this kind of small vehicle in the market. What's your perspective on our pod-like autonomous future versus our truck-centric present? Ralph Gilles: Obviously I pay attention to the industry as much as your readers and yourself, and everyone has a take on the future. We had a debate, we could have done a supercar or something for pure sex appeal [ apparently that's also in the works], but we chose something practical, to really look at the future in a different perspective. We have these Millennials, a huge swath of people born between 1982 and 2004, and the oldest ones are turning 35 right about now, and a lot of them are having families later in life but when they have them they have a little more buying power, so it makes for an interesting cocktail. The one stipulation we had on the Portal project was that everyone had to be a Millennial to be on the team. So that excluded me, I had more of a coach role on the team. And to your point, the Portal in its current state as you see it is not going to be on the road tomorrow. But there's a lot of ideas, a lot of connectivity ideas, a lot of styling ideas, even lighting and technologies that will absolutely find their way into vehicles in the next few years. AB: Being a Detroiter, all of this attention we've had recently in Vegas, CES – I heard that they're maybe going to be running the show at the same time next year. Do you feel a little protective of the Detroit Show? RG: Yeah, it's something to watch. I hope it's not an aggressive thing on their part, by moving the shows on top of each other. They're both important shows. CES, I've been going to for the last five years, and it's changing. There's a lot more automotive content, but there are a lot more start-ups too, and it's interesting to watch.
I love the Disco Volante Spyder
Wed, Mar 2 2016For the past couple of years, Touring Superleggera has always given me reason to pause at the Geneva Motor Show. Casually sitting on the company's rotating stand is the Disco Volante, an absolutely exquisite version of the Alfa Romeo 8C with custom bodywork. I first saw it in red, then green, and now in a powder blue, as a Spyder. Only seven of these open-top Discos will be built, and I want one. Photos do not do this car justice – you really have to see it in person. For those of you who won't make it to Geneva this year, this video gives a better look at the curves and lines of Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera's creation. The tuning house is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, and the new Disco Volante Spyder is (arguably) some of its finest work. Plus, bonus points for the name alone. How cool would it be to tell your friends you've got a Disco Volante in the driveway? But don't just take my word for it. Have a look at the gorgeous little two-door in the gallery below.
