Salvage 1984 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Great For Parts on 2040-cars

Year:1984 Mileage:78566
Location:

North Hollywood, California, United States

Condition:

I purchased this car in 2007 in Redwood City, CA with one previous owner. At that time I recored the radiator, got a new clutch, and replaced most of not all of the hoses. I also installed a porcelain exhaust manifold which replaced the original steel one. This gives the car better horsepower and distributes the heat away from the delicate aluminum engine much better than steel. I also repaired the brake system in 2007.

The original owner got in an accident that slightly twisted the frame of the vehicle. This unfortunately messed with the car's suspension and alignment. When I purchased it I had my Alfa mechanic install adjustable trailing arm bushings which correct that problem completely.

I got in a front-end collision in the Spring and I can't afford to repair her. I'm really bummed but my hours were drastically cut at work in 2013 and I can't afford to repair her. She's been sitting in my driveway being said and I have decided it's time to let somebody else take her away. 

The only things that this car needs to be running again is a front nose clip, a hood, a radiator, steering wheel and windshield.

Besides that, this baby is in GREAT SHAPE. It only has 78k miles on the original engine! I bought her with only 27k miles on the original engine in 2007. Literally some little old lady drove this thing to church on sundays, there were NO MILES ON THINGS THING. I've put about 50k on the engine over 6 years

Most recently I repaired the engine mount within the last 5k miles. I just got this baby smogged with a brand new muffler in March 2013. The tailpipe has been repaired as well. I also repaired the rear suspension mount and bought new tires about 3k miles ago.

The interior is in fair condition. The seats need upholstery and drivers' interior door panel needs repairs. The drivers' side power window motor is weak.

The canvas convertible top is original and in great condition with no tears or leaks, with only minor wear and tear from being 29 years old.

This is a great car to fix up or to use to part out for your mid to late 80s Spider.

The engine, transmission, and clutch are in great shape. There are 5 original alloy wheels (4 on the car, one is a spare). They are in great condition.

It also comes with a CD/MP3 player with USB input and an external amp which powers 4 speakers. I MIGHT remove this before I sell it but contact me if you're interested and we can talk about it.

Please contact me with any questions. I put my heart and soul into this car and know every inch of it.






Here's a quick list to glance through:

Original: Engine, transmission, wheels (5), convertible top, interior.

Upgraded: Adjustable trailing arm bushings, porcelain exhaust manifold, modern hoses.

Repaired: Rear suspension mount, engine mount, tailpipe

New: Tires (approx 3k miles), muffler, brakes, clutch (approx 10k miles) battery replaced and under AAA warranty in 2010.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years

Tue, 06 May 2014

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.
