Up for sale is a black 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider with 105000 miles!

Exterior: The color of the car is black and paint condition is 7 out of 10. The car has a few scratches but the body is clean and I do not see any major accidents in the car. 

Interior: The car has a black interior (I am not sure if this is leather or vinyl) the passenger seat is good but the driver seat has some tears in the center piece as you can see in the picture. 
The dash has some cracks as you see in the photos. The carpet is in good shape but it does need a little cleaning. The convertible top is in a very good condition (it was replaced two years ago). 
All the glass, trim, and lights are in very good condition. In total the condition of the interior is 7 out of 10.

Mechanics: The car has a 4 cylinder fuel injection engine with a 5 speed manual transmission. The engine and transmission are in good condition. I drove around my warehouse for about 10 miles without problems. The car has an engine guard! The exhaust is good, there are no leaks anywhere. The suspension is also in good shape! In total the condition of the interior is 8 out of 10.

Electrical: From what I see, everything works well except the high beam light (It can be do to the bulb or the switch). All the gauges work except the odometer which the previous owner said has not been working for the past year. The car has been driven less then 2000 miles sense. The car also has a security system.  
The rims and tires are in fair shape. I would give the tires 70%.        

The problems: The A/C does not work ( when I hit the switch, the compressor runs. So I think it just needs Freon R-12). The door lock has some issues, it sometimes does not lock. The odometer is not working. The drover seat has some tears. One of the rims has a small curb rash (no bend).    

I am not an Alfa Romeo expert, this was a car that I got out of a tried and I don't know a lot about this car. But I have a very reasonable reserve compared to other ones that I have seen like this. In total the car is not in a perfect condition but with some attention it can be.

I am more experienced in BMWs and Mercedes. I do not have much knowledge in Italian cars.  

This car has low milage for this typical model. This car has always been taken care of.
This car is 26 years old and has been driven for around 5000 miles a year!!
I have a very reasonable reserve price!! If you like more pics please send me your email and ill send them to you! I would be happy to have anyone come and check out the car! The car is at my storage in manassas va! THE CAR IS ASIS!
Bid with confidence!! I am a 100% positive feedback Ebay member. You can check my seller feedback!

Alfa Romeo Zagato-designed Giulia-derived coupe previewed

Wed, Dec 7 2022

Alfa Romeo's long-awaited return to the coupe segment may be imminent. The company published an enigmatic preview image on its social media channels that shows the rear end of what's labeled the "Giulia SWB Zagato," and it pledged to release more details in the near future. While there's not much we can glean by looking at the dark teaser, we can at least say with near-certainty that the coupe won't look much like the Giulia when viewed from the back. The photo depicts a thin strip of LEDs that seemingly stretches across the entire rear end, and the basic silhouette is vaguely reminiscent of the Giulia TZ (Tubolare Zagato) and TZ2 coupes built in very limited numbers during the 1960s. Beyond that, your guess regarding what we're looking at is as good as ours. The name strongly suggests that the coupe will be Giulia-based, shorter than the sedan, and designed jointly with Zagato. Company boss Jean-Philippe Imparato has previously confirmed that the two-door model will make its debut at some point in 2023 and he clarified that it will be "very exciting, very selective, and very expensive." To us, it sounds like the coupe will land as a limited-edition model rather than as a regular-production addition to the company's range. What the coupe will be powered by is up in the air as well. Given the Giulia-derived platform, we wouldn't be surprised if power comes from a version of the 2.9-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 that powers the range-topping Quadrifoglio. The six develops 505 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque in Alfa Romeo's BMW M3 fighter but those figures could increase in the coupe. Rear-wheel-drive should come standard. Alfa Romeo will publish additional details about the Giulia SWB Zagato in the coming weeks, and we'll see the coupe by the end of 2023.

Alfa Romeo Classiche program launched to preserve the brand's heritage

Thu, Oct 20 2022

Alfa Romeo has taken a significant step to help enthusiasts conserve the cars it has built over the past 112 years. The company launched a program called Alfa Romeo Classiche that provides owners with anything from a certificate of authenticity to a full in-house restoration. One of the program's most basic services is issuing a certificate of origin. This isn't new; Alfa has offered this resource since 2016. Armed with a chassis number, owners can request a document that details a car's date of production and its original configuration inside and out. You'd be surprised at what you can discover: Years ago, I learned that the red 1966 GTV I owned at the time was originally painted gray. The second certificate Alfa Romeo can issue collectors attests to a car's authenticity. Historians working in the company's Heritage department examine a car and inspect a long list of points before deeming it authentic. Cars can be examined at the Officine Classiche in Mirafiori, near Turin in Italy, at the Stellantis & You facilities in Rome and in Palermo, or directly at the owner's house regardless of the country they live in. Finally, the Alfa Romeo Classiche program includes a maintenance and restoration service performed by the same folks who work on the cars in the brand's museum. From changing the rocker panels on a 1959 Giulietta to changing the spark plugs on a 1991 model 164, the in-house team can take on just about any task. Pricing hasn't been announced; it varies depending on the car and the scope of the work required. Alfa Romeo takes its heritage and the Classiche program seriously: Company CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato chairs the certification committee, and the people in charge of certifying a car have access to the vast archives housed in the Alfa Romeo Museum.

Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 100th Anniversario gets even more power

Thu, Apr 13 2023

Alfa Romeo is celebrating its Quadrifoglio emblem's 100th birthday by rolling out limited-edition variants of the Giulia and the Stelvio. The commemorative cars receive a more powerful twin-turbocharged V6, edition-specific visual accents, and carbon fiber interior trim. The green Quadrifoglio (which means "four-leaf clover" in Italian) first appeared on a straight-six-powered RL race car at the 1923 edition of the Targa Florio, a grueling road race that was held in Sicily. Legend has it that pilot Ugo Sivocci had the emblem painted on his car for good luck. He won, and the Quadrifoglio quickly began appearing on Alfa Romeo's race cars before showing up on street-legal production models. Fast-forward to 2023, and the four-leaf clover denotes Alfa Romeo's most powerful models: the Giulia Quadrifoglio is the Italian company's answer to the BMW M3, and the Stelvio Quadrifoglio competes in the same segment as the X3 M. The limited-edition 100th Anniversario models build on these foundations with a 520-horsepower evolution of the twin-turbocharged, 2.9-liter V6 (that's 15 more than in the regular-production variants). Alfa Romeo also added a mechanical limited-slip differential derived from the sold-out, 540-horsepower Giulia GTA. Based on the recently-updated Giulia and Stelvio, the 100th Anniversario models come with LED headlights,19-inch wheels for the Giulia (the Stelvio rides on 21-inch alloys), and edition-specific gold-colored brake calipers. Quadrifoglio emblems with gold-colored accents and "1923-2023" lettering are fitted to the fenders, and the list of equipment also includes a carbon fiber grille and carbon fiber door mirror caps. The interior gets a similar treatment: There's carbon fiber trim, gold-colored stitching, and a "100" logo on the dashboard. Like their regular-production counterparts, both cars get a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster whose layout changes depending on the driving mode selected. Alfa Romeo will build 100 units of the Giulia Quadrifoglio 100th Anniversario and 100 additional examples of the Stelvio Quadrifoglio 100th Anniversario. Pricing and availability haven't been announced yet, and deliveries are scheduled to start in the coming weeks for buyers in European markets. Alfa Romeo confirmed to Autoblog that both models will be sold in the United States. Buyers will have three colors called Rosso Etna, Montreal Green, and Vulcano Black to choose from. More details will be announced in the not-too-distant future.
