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.

Just 45% of Fiat dealers are profitable, and they're angry about it
Mon, 07 Oct 2013<
On average, Fiat dealers have only been selling about 17 cars a month.
We've been wondering for some time how Fiat dealers in North America have been getting along with just one model range in their showrooms up until recently. Franchisees spent millions building, stocking and manning sleek new 'studio' showrooms, only to have but a single model to sell, the cherubic 500. And even with its many derivatives, the Cinquecento is still an inexpensive model with its attendant lower margins. Perhaps it should come as no surprise then, that just 45 percent of US Fiat dealers are said to be profitable.
Marchionne offers belated apology for 'wop engine' comment
Wed, 22 May 2013Automotive News reports Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has issued a written apology for his comments regarding his decision to stick with an Italian engine for the upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C. As you may recall, back in January, Marchionne was quoted as saying, "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it has to be a wop engine." The CEO penned an apology to the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition for using the racial epithet, saying that he made the comment in jest. Marchionne also said he realizes his remarks were unacceptable.
ONE VOICE, an organization aimed at fighting discrimination and stereotyping of Italian Americans, thanked Marchionne, Chrysler and Fiat for the apology. Marchionne is an Italian-born Canadian citizen, and he's gotten in trouble for other comments in the past. In 2011, he called high interest rates Chrysler was paying to the Canadian government "shyster rates." He apologized a day later.
Next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata mule spied 'Ring testing
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Fans of simple, lightweight motoring, rejoice - we now have images of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata undergoing testing at der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, to be fair, this isn't some lightly camouflaged example that will give us a great peak of what the next Miata, which will also become the next Alfa Romeo Spider, will look like. This is a mule, with the new bits hidden under a current Miata's body. That doesn't mean there aren't a few scraps of valuable information here, though.
According to our flock of camera-toting spies at the Nürburgring, the next Miata is likely to grow a bit, as new models are wont to do. In particular, it will be longer and wider, and the wheelbase is likely going to be stretched, based on the shape of the wheel wells and doors. Both of those factors will add more space in the cabin.
Those are the big indications provided by these photos, but while the MX-5 might be growing, it's a safe bet based on these images that it, and the (likely pricier) Alfa, will retain the classic, long-hood, short-deck styling that so typifies rear-drive roadsters.
