I'm selling my 1987 Alfa Quad. If you're looking at this, you know what it is, so I don't have to get into it. Car runs and drives perfect. Smogged this past weekend. Passed with flying colors. Car sat for many years when it belonged to previous owner. Lucky for me, that only put the car at 71,500 miles! I bought the car as a non-runner. Recent work includes, clutch flex hose, clutch slave cylinder, "Lifetime guaranteed" clutch pivot shaft replacement, ignition wires, plugs, mobil 1 oil, Ate blue brake fluid in the clutch system, new gas door cable. Just averaged 28 mpg on a trip to Palm Springs.

The car does have a couple quirks, naturally, it is an Alfa. The passenger window is intermittent. Of course, with a tap on the door, it will work. The passenger door card needs a few retaining clips. The previous owner had a respray done on the car at some point. Whoever did it didn't do a color or wet sand. There are some clear coat drip marks that need to be taken care of. Also, due to the car sitting for so long, the ground effects on the side have pulled off the car. I bought the proper 3M double sided tape to hold it on, just haven't gotten around to cleaning and installing it. The tape comes with the car. The antenna needs to be replaced. It likely needs a new cloth top. I have yet to remove the hardtop. Gas gauge doesn't give a level, however the light comes on when gas is low.

The car obviously comes with the factory hard top (there are two minor chips in the paint) otherwise it's perfect. This car also has the black leather tonneau cover that buttons down once the convertible top is down. It is in perfect shape with the Alfa red stitching.

Original owners manual, two sets of keys, car disc CD with repair manual, Clean title. Buying a home forces sale, but I'm going to keep my Milano Verde!

The seats are the best part of the car. Original seats in almost perfect condition. There are two small holes next to the driver's seat folding lever. (can be seen in pics) I'm sure it can be repaired cheap. Seats/tonneau cover have been treated with Leatherique conditioner.

Local individuals can contact me for any additional information or to setup a time to see/drive the car. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction if vehicle sells.

If you'd like any specific photographs, please let me know and I'll be happy to take them.

Share price falls on skepticism of Chrysler-Fiat five-year plan

Thu, 08 May 2014

Following this week's Fiat Chrysler extravaganza, where the Italian-American manufacturer announced its plans for the next five years, the Autoblog staff was cautiously optimistic of the company's future. Investors? Not so much.
Fiat saw its shares tumble 12 percent in Wednesday's trading, falling from 8.67 euros ($12.06 at today's rates) to 7.44 euros ($10.35) as of this writing, with blame partly going to the Italian half of the FCA marriage, which recorded a pretty significant drop in profits during the first quarter of this year.
The plan, which will cost around $77 billion over the next several years, is facing criticism from investors thanks in part to a 1.4-percent drop in Fiat's first-quarter profits, to 622 million euros ($862 million). That figure is also short of Bloomberg analysts' projections, which predicted $1.18 billion in profits before taxes, interest and one-time items.

Alfa Romeo to launch eight new products by 2018, increase sales to 400K units

Tue, 06 May 2014



Alfa Romeo will go back to being the brand people admire, according to CEO Harald Wester.
After a few streams of news on the various brands in the Fiat Chrysler family, here's the deluge we've been waiting for - Alfa Romeo. The legendary Italian brand is being pointed towards a renaissance, as shown by the brand's five-year plan.

Fiat set to invest $12B on new models, stop Euro losses in 3 years

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Naturally, you'd expect a massive automaker like Fiat to have an in-depth plan to exit the current European-market doldrums, and you'd expect that plan to include plenty of new vehicles to attract those precious buyers that still remain despite the financial downturn. And you'd be right, though Fiat does seem to have a few unexpected twists up its corporate sleeve.
Perhaps the biggest shocker is a report that Fiat will completely drop the Punto, a car with mass-market appeal aimed at small-car buyers cross-shopping the popular Volkswagen Polo. Its replacement will be a five-door Fiat 500 aimed at upmarket buyers (sounds awfully similar to the 500L) that will be built in Poland. Lower-end customers will reportedly be served by variants of the Fiat Panda.
Borrowing a page from the BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen playbook, reports Automotive News, Fiat is said to have plans to reignite production at its Italian factories by retooling them to build high-end vehicles from Maserati and Alfa Romeo. These will be marketed as premium products, built by skilled Italian workers (who are paid wages that are 75-percent higher than those building Fiats in Poland), and will be sold around the world.
