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.

Four New Tires
New Tie Rod Ends
New Pitman Arm
New Brake Master Cylinder

Mussolini-owned 1930 Alfa Romeo race car getting full restoration
Sat, Feb 22 2020One of Alfa Romeo's most controversial race cars is getting treated to a full, concours-level restoration. Modified, worn-out, and incomplete, this 1930 6C 1750 was purchased new and raced by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. Wearing chassis number 6C312898, the 6C 1750 was delivered new to Mussolini on January 13, 1930, and there are several images (one pictured) showing him behind the wheel. He paid 60,000 Lire for it. He entered it in several races across Italy during the early 1930s but didn't keep it long -- his well-known love of Fascism and international invasions seemingly muted the gearhead in him. It then went through several owners before ending up in the hands of a man named Renato Tigillo in 1937. He took the 6C with him when he moved to Eritrea, a country that joined Italian Somaliland and Ethiopia in the Italian East Africa administrative territory in 1936. The 6C was far less significant in the 1930s than in the 2020s, so the different pilots who owned it didn't think twice about stripping it to shed weight. Dozens of parts were removed and likely thrown away to prepare it for a strenuous new career racing under the scorching African sun. Dents, flaking paint, and a little bit of rust suggest life was tough. Precisely when it retired from racing, and what happened to it during the subsequent decades, remains unknown. There's no word on who owns it, either. All we know is that it's about to get completely torn down and painstakingly rebuilt by one of the best names in the business. United Kingdom-based restoration shop Thornley Kelham will return the 6C 1750 to the configuration it was in when Mussolini raced it during the early 1930s. That's a Herculean task considering the list of parts missing from the car is long. The original headlights, fenders, and wire wheels are no longer on it. Simon Thornley, the garage's co-founder, admitted the 6C 1750 is likely the most challenging restoration he's ever taken on, especially considering period images of the Stabilimenti Farina-built body are few and far between. It's worth it, though. "Automotive history like this has to be preserved," he said in a statement. Mussolini wasn't the only dictator that loved cars. Adolf Hitler was an enthusiast, too, and several of his cars -- including a 1939 Mercedes-Benz 770k -- have been sold at auction in recent years. Related Video: Â Â

Marchionne: FCA, but not Ferrari, interested in Formula E
Sat, Aug 5 2017It seems like automakers have been clamoring to get on board with Formula E lately. In just the last few weeks a number of manufacturers have either become more directly involved, or otherwise announced entry into the series in coming years. That includes Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, with the latter two abandoning other series to join the electric one. Now, FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne says his company might join Formula E as well, according to Motorsport. Previously, Marchionne had toyed with the idea of bringing Ferrari into the Formula E field, but now says that would be unlikely. Instead, he thinks an FCA brand would be a better fit, perhaps Alfa Romeo or Maserati. At the moment, Maserati seems like the best fit, as Marchionne just announced that the brand would electrify its entire lineup after 2019, with each car it sells having either a hybrid or electric powertrain. Fans would probably be excited to see Maserati return to racing, and Formula E would be a good test laboratory for the development of electric propulsion technology. Still, another brand could represent FCA in Formula E, and apply the knowledge learned there to its vehicles, as Marchionne says half of the FCA fleet will be electrified by the end of the company's five-year plan ending in 2022. Marchionne said that while Ferrari won't be directly involved, he doesn't know which FCA brand – Alfa Romeo, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat, or Maserati – would enter. As interesting as an electric Dodge race car would be, it seems unlikely, especially because of, well, Maserati. We're hoping it's Jeep, though.
