For sale 1988 Alfa Romeo Spider Sprint Veloce
As you can see from the pictures the car has been involved in a front end collision.
This was my sons car and he was involved in an accident where he was following to closely.
The damage was all cosmetic and the radiaor was not damaged.
We got the car 8/25/2011 with 78,000 miles on it.
We also got with this car a 1986 Alfa Spider Graduate that had a blown head gasket. The 1986 Alfa was taken apart and the body hauled away but we kept all the body panels that would unbolt as well as all the mechanical parts.
We Also Got the original engine from this 1988 spider the was taken out to be rebuilt as well as all new engine overhaul gaskets, bearings, chain, and seals.
The owner we got the car from put a low mileage engine in the place of the original and drove it that way.
He stopped driving the car when the slave cylinder stopped working.
When we got the car it had to be towed.
We replaced the slave cylinder, the fuel pump in tank, and installed a rebuilt alternator.
We installed the sport seats as well as the 4 point seat harnesses. 1988 Alfa spiders had the automatic seatbealts and they had to go.
We installed new front and rear perfomance springs. The spare tire matches the other 4 Speedline rims and is brand new. The four driving tires are good but are showing there age.
We also installed an aftermarket exhaust and removed the front and back bumpers.
The car has an Alpine CD head unit that says plays HD staions but we have never tried that feature as well as a electric antenna.
The Accident occured before we removed the front bumper as this car went under the bumper of the front car if you were wondering.
This car does burn oil but runs well.
We put in iridium plugs and new dexacool antifreeze and mobil one synthetic.
This was my sons daily driver but we felt a newer car was in order with more safety features.
The was no real rust to speak of until the accident which you can see from the picture.
This car can be drivin anywhere and has no overheating problems.
This Auction also includes the parts car worth of parts so bring a trailer as well.
If you do not want all the parts that go with the car you can only take the ones you want.
Please only bid if you are willing to follow through with the auction.
We are selling for a low price due to the front end damage and do not think that this car is not a driver.

Alfa Romeo 8C, Maserati Quattroporte and Granturismo models recalled over rust fears
Mon, 20 May 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced Maserati and Alfa Romeo are recalling certain Quattroporte, Granturismo and 8C models over potentially faulty tie rod ends. According to NHTSA, 2005-2008 Quattroporte, 2008 Granturismo and 2008 8C units may have been assembled with tie rod ends that have insufficient corrosion protection. As such, the components may rust, weaken and potentially fail. If that happens, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
Maserati and Alfa Romeo will contact owners and replace the tie rod end assemblies once the recall gets underway in June. All told, 7,438 vehicles are impacted by the recall. You can read the full NHTSA notice below for more information.

Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models
Wed, 02 Oct 2013According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.
