I bought this car a little over 2 years ago with 114,000 miles and it has been my daily driver since and now shows 140,000 miles. A couple of weeks ago in my infinite wisdom I added a can of fuel injector cleaner to the fuel system and now the car has an intermittent miss. I'll be running along smoothly and out of nowhere it will miss, sometimes it will clear and everything will be fine, and sometimes it will give me fits until it clears up. My problem is that I no longer have a garage, or a place to properly attend to the car. I believe the problem is fuel supply ( I changed the fuel filter, didn't help), and thinking that some particles from the fuel line has partially pluged an injector, or carbon is trying to clean out the valves and the pistons and this is causing the miss. The only other possibilities I can think of is that I put an aftermarket catalytic converter on last year and its starting to clog, or perhaps I have a vacumn leak (original vacumn hoses). In any case I can't afford to have a shop look at the car, and I don't trust and shop that doesn't know their way around Alfas. So if you're out there and still interested at the starting bid, here are some more details about the car.

The body is in very good shape except for some bondo work around the rockers. I painted the car myself last year (first time) and its OK, but could use a repaint if you're a perfectionest. The leather interior is good with two small holes forming in the drivers seat from daily use. Typical two cracks on the dash alonf the vents.. The speedodometer does not read true, and neither does the volt guage (although the alternator is puting out 13 1/2 volts when checked at the batter). The air conditioner is original and needs to be upgraded, power mirrors do not function. New Falcon 195/65 tires last year, new top this year. One of the trunk spring retainers is bent, so I use a brace to keep the trunk open. In general the interior is in good shape considering its daily use. The car is complete,by that I mean no missing parts and all else is working fine.

I'm still driving the car, and by the time the car is sold the problem may be solved. Regardless, I'm still selling as I can't give the car the attention it needs.

Note: I have car for sale locally and reserve the right to end auction early.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio to get a new rear-drive base version

Mon, Jul 2 2018

Good news for those who want an Alfa Romeo Stelvio but do not have the need for all-wheel drive: Alfa is reportedly introducing a cheaper, solely rear-drive version. It will still have plenty of power. Car & Driver is reporting that there will be a new, rear-wheel-drive base Stelvio for 2019, one that undercuts the current cheapest Q4 model by $2,000. That would mean a starting price of $41,440. However, the gap will widen slightly as the all-wheel-drive cars will see a price bump for 2019. The base model's only engine option will be the four-cylinder turbo, offering 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque. The transmission is the eight-speed automatic. C&D also says that the RWD versions will be kitted out more cheaply than AWD models, as a posher Ti version will always come standard with AWD. The new base models are likely to bear Q2 badging to differentiate them from the "quattro per quattro" Q4 models. And, if you're still willng to add a little something to the RWD Stelvio, there will be an available Sport package that offers 19-inch wheels and performance-oriented accessories such as aluminum pedals, painted brake calipers, paddle shifters and more. This does almost negate the price difference between the 2018 and 2019 base models, as it is said to cost $1,800.

This Alfa Romeo Giulia shows why its owner scored a job at Singer Vehicle Design

Thu, Jan 15 2015

The original Giulia may not have been the most beautiful Alfa Romeo ever built, but it was one of the coolest. It was built at two different locations in Milan from 1962 through 1978, and as squared-off as it is, it still has an enduring sense of style. No wonder Alfa is planning on reviving the nameplate, just as it did with the Giulietta. It's just the kind of car that a video series like Petrolicious was born to profile, and that's why it's the subject of this latest episode. This particular 1970 Giulia 1300 Ti belongs to one Dorian Valenzuela, who bought it on Craigslist and modified it just the way he wanted – and to beautiful effect, we might add. In fact, we weren't the only ones who were impressed with Dorian's work, either: the job he did on the Giulia lead him to land a job with Singer Vehicle Design, purveyor of spectacularly reimagined Porsche restomods.

Upcoming Alfa Romeo CUV called the Stelvio, Marchionne says

Thu, Feb 18 2016

Alfa Romeo will call its forthcoming crossover the Stelvio, and the Italian brand will finally put the often-postponed CUV on sale in Europe in early 2017, according to Auto Express citing FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne. We probably won't see it in showrooms here until at least spring or summer next year. The vehicle's name references the famously curvy pass through the Alps in Northern Italy, which evokes a model with sharp handling and rapid acceleration. The Stelvio uses a modified Giulia platform, and the two models should share powertrains. Standard versions would likely get a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, which makes 276 horsepower in the sedan. However, the common parts make a Quadrifoglio version of the CUV possible, packing the hottest Giulia's 505-hp 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, according to Auto Express. Alfa Romeo hasn't teased the Stelvio's design yet, but FCA designer Ralph Gilles posted a photo on Instagram that might have been a hint. The picture showed fellow designer of Lorenzo Ramaciotti in the back of an unnamed crossover. The dashboard, which you could see in that shot, had a distinct similarity to the Giulia. The shot didn't show much of the exterior, but you could barely make out the narrow taillights. Alfa Romeo has had serious problems launching vehicles on time recently, and the Giulia sedan and Stelvio should have been ready by now. The four-door was originally supposed to arrive in late 2015, but Marchionne said assembly would finally begin on March 14, according to Auto Express. The sedan has allegedly had problems passing internal crash tests, but Alfa officials vehemently denied this claim. The brand also delayed the CUV by several months from the original plans. The automaker now asserts that six more models are on the way by 2020, but the company doesn't seem capable of living up to those promises. Related Video:
