1988 Alfa Romeo Spider Quadrifoglio Convertible 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
United States
As stated in my condition description this is a project vehicle that
runs but needs some cosmetic repairs and restoration. It's a 1988 Alfa
Romeo Quadrifoglio Spider bought new by it's single owner. Unfortunately
he passed and the car sat for many years so there are some areas that
have been attacked by rust. The front left and right fenders are pretty
rusted out along with the valance in front of the wind shield (however I
have a brand new one in black that can be painted red to match that
will be included in the sale). Also the spare tire carrier has rusted out and needs repair. I have taken pictures of all the bad spots and pretty much every point of the car.
The motor, transmission, coolant and fuel system has been completely flushed and put back to its original working order. Two new fuel pumps and a new fuel filter was installed prior to start up. Yes, the car does run, but the clutch hydraulic system has lost pressure which I am assuming would be caused by a bad slave cylinder, and the buyer should be advised that it needs to be properly looked over to ensure it is road worthy. The soft top does not leak, but because it has been outside for many years it has seeped moisture inside and the carpet now needs to be completely vacuumed and steam cleaned. The dash and other accessories are in perfect "like new" condition and the car is equipped with a special edition steering wheel. I do have a hard top that we had bought at one point that IS NOT included but will sell for $500. The soft top frame needs a little work as its hard to move up and down. The overall condition can be seen by my pictures, but if you need any more please let me know. It was once a fun, great running car, I remember driving in it as a little kid. With only 46, 400 original miles this Alpha defiantly still has a chance to be a fully restored and put back on the road. This is being sold as is and all shipping costs will be paid by the buyer. I will help on my end to ensure safe delivery. Shipping costs are estimated to be anywhere from $500-800 if you are in the United States. I will work with the buyer to arrange shipping carriers or local pickup. If you have any other questions or concerns please don't hesitate to message me. |

Alfa Romeo 6C could return in 2020
Mon, Jan 22 2018Keep your salt shaker handy, because you might need a grain or two for this rumor, as scrumptious as it may be. According to German tuner Pogea Racing, Alfa Romeo is planning to revive the 6C nameplate, with a production launch in 2020. The company posted its inside info on its Facebook page, citing "an absolute trustworthy and legit source" who is "very deep into the decisions of the management of Alfa Romeo." According to the post, we can expect to see the Alfa Romeo 6C introduced at one of the major auto shows in 2018 or 2019. If true, the rumor is exciting, but not totally surprising. FCA is growing its investment in the Italian brand, along with its lineup. We've already learned of Alfa's plans for an SUV larger than the Stelvio, which could offer seven seats and a mild hybrid system. The addition to the lineup of what we could assume to be a coupe larger and more expensive than the Alfa Romeo 4C, and meanwhile bringing back a classic nameplate, doesn't seem farfetched. After all, we've heard similar rumors before, with the 6C reportedly planned as a competitor to the Jaguar F-Type. Under the hood, the Giulia Quadrifoglio's 2.9-liter twin-turbo aluminum V6 — good for 505 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque — seems like the perfect fit for the 6C. The 6C nameplate has roots in six-cylinder road and racing cars beginning in the 1920s. To see it revived after decades of hibernation would not only be interesting for fans and potential customers, it would be symbolic of the company's continued growth under the FCA umbrella.

Mazda and Fiat finalize deal for Alfa roadster, next-gen MX-5 Miata
Fri, 18 Jan 2013Although a little bit later than expected, Mazda and Fiat have signed a final agreement that will bring a next-generation MX-5 Miata to the Japanese automaker and a new roadster to Alfa Romeo. When the proposed arrangement was announced back in May, the two automakers had hoped to seal the deal last year, but it doesn't appear that the production timeline for these cars has slipped any, with both expected to start rolling off assembly lines in 2015.
Other than a shared chassis with a rear-wheel-drive layout, it sounds like the two cars are still planned to be distinct in their own ways from their styling right down to their engines. Mazda will produce both cars at a plant in Hiroshima, Japan, but it isn't clear what role each automaker will play in the cars' developmental process. The big question, of course, is what clever portmanteau name we can come up with, like Toyobaru. Mazda Romeo is the easy choice, but Alfazda might roll off the tongue a little better.
Scroll down for a brief press release from both automakers.
FCA joining virtual CES with in-depth tours and Jeep Wrangler 4xe in AR
Fri, Jan 8 2021CES is sort of, technically happening, but it won’t be the CES weÂ’ve all become accustomed to over the years. Automakers will be doing their best to participate virtually, assuming they decide to join in the festivities at all. FCA is one that will have a little nugget of tech to share with us. A few main experiences will be made available to anybody with a computer. FCAÂ’s main draw is meant to be “highly detailed interactive product tours” where you can get to know a number of vehicles in a virtual world and hear from a “virtual brand ambassador” throughout the tour. You wonÂ’t be able to sit in and crawl through the cars like a normal auto show for the public, but FCA is promising a rather immersive experience online. The guided tour through the cars and technologies will be available in 12 FCA vehicles, two of those being the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer Concept and Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio. FCA plans to offer in-depth talks about how it tests vehicles, too. There are demonstrations planned for wind tunnels, the four-post shaker, an advanced drive simulator and general performance testing. Additionally, FCA plans on providing more insight into Uconnect 5 and vehicle electrification systems. WeÂ’re guessing the latter will offer up details on the Wrangler 4xe. The plug-in hybrid Wrangler will also be the star of FCAÂ’s AR play at CES. Everybody will be able to scan a QR code on FCAÂ’s site, then have access to a Wrangler 4xe on their phone. YouÂ’ll be able to “put it” in your driveway virtually, change the colors and get up close and personal with the interior. All of this will launch on fcaces2021.com at 9 a.m. ET on January 11 (official first day of the virtual CES show), so surf on over there next week if you want to check it out.
