MY CUSTOMER  PURCHASED IT FROM THE BOSTON AREA.

I HAVE SERVICED THE CAR SINCE HE BOUGHT IT.

THIS GTV IS A NICE DRIVER THAT HAS HAD A GOOD LIFE BUT NOT A  PAMPERED LIFE.

IT WAS ORIGINALLY SAND COLOR BUT WAS PAINTED RED I WOULD ESTIMATE SOMEWHERE IN THE LATE 90'S.

THE PAINT JOB IS A REASONABLE REPAINT BUT CERTAINLY NOT TO SHOW CAR STANDARDS.

THERE WAS NEW SHEETMETAL WELDED INTO THE FLOORS ABOUT 5 + YEARS AGO AND THEN THE FLOORS WERE SANDED TO BARE METAL AND COATED WITH PRIMER AND PAINTED WITH RUSTOLEUM BLACK.

REAR SEATING /  DECK AREA WAS FINE AND NOT TOUCHED.

SEATS AND CARPETING WERE REMOVED FOR THE ABOVE METAL REPAIR.

NEW FRONT SEAT UPHOLSTERY KITS WERE PURCHASED AND INSTALLED BY A TRIM SHOP.

REAR SEAT IS ORIGINAL - SEAT BOTTOMS ARE GOOD - SEAT BACKS HAVE A SMALL TEAR .

DOOR PANELS ARE VERY NICE .

THE DRIVER'S SIDE KICK PANEL HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A PIECE OF WOOD VENEER.

PASSENGER SIDE KICK PANEL IS ORIGINAL WITH MAP POCKET.

PLEASE SEE PICTURES.

HEADLINER IS IN GOOD TO GOOD PLUS CONDITION.

DASHBOARD HAS A DASH CAP ON IT.

SO ORIGINAL DASH TOP NEEDS RESTORATION.

GAUGES WORK FINE.

RADIO IS NOT WIRED IN.

BODY HAS MINOR DINGS AND DENTS .

BUMPERS THE SAME .

FRONT GRILL HAS SOME PITTING COULD USE A REPLATING.

EVEN THOUGH THE FLOORS HAVE HAD SOME METAL RESTORATION THE BODY OVERALL HAS HELD UP REASONABLY WELL.

JACK POINTS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE ALONG WITH THE INNER SILLS AND OUTER PANELS.

TRUNK FLOOR ALSO IS IN GOOD SHAPE ALTHOUGH THE SPARE TIRE WELL HAS HAD SOME MINOR  REPAIR WORK DONE IN THE PAST.

UNFORTUNATELY THE FRONT BOX SECTION WHERE THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR IS ATTACHED AND THE RADIATOR BOTTOM SUPPORT AREA IS RUSTED AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT / RESTORATION.

PLEASE SEE PICTURES.

THAT SAID THE BAR IS SECURELY ATTACHED AS IS THE RADIATOR.

CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE ABOVE CONDITION SINCE THE OWNER BOUGHT IT.

ALSO WHEN I PERFORMED THE RADIATOR SERVICE / REPAIR I HAD NO PARTICULAR PROBLEMS REFITTING THE RADIATOR.

GLASS IS GOOD AND SO IS THE RETAINING TRIM.

CAR RUNS AND DRIVES WELL.

I HAVE TAKEN A COMPRESSION TEST AND ALL 4 CYLINDERS ARE 150 + TO 160 PSI. EACH.

IT HAS A FUEL INJECTION MANIFOLD ADAPTOR KIT [ SHANKLE ? ! ]  FOR THE CARBS.

FUEL TANK WAS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND RESEALED BY THE RADIATOR SHOP I USE.

RADIATOR WAS RECORED A FEW YEARS AGO.

BRAKE SERVICE WAS DONE ALSO A FEW YEARS AGO.

ALSO AN O.E. CISAM  EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED  A FEW YEARS AGO.

GEAR BOX WORKS FINE BUT DOES NEED TO BE WARMED  UP BEFORE 2 ND GEAR IS AT ITS BEST.

A BOX REBUILD IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE.

CLUTCH AND RELATED HYDRAULICS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION.

SUSPENSION IS OLD BUT STILL IN DECENT ORDER.

TIRES ARE OLD AND NEED REPLACEMENT.

HEATER FAN MOTOR IS FROZEN AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR.

A GOOD USED SPARE HEATER FAN ASSEMBLY IS INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE.

WIPER ASSEMBLY WORKS FINE.

MY CUSTOMER BOUGHT THIS GTV IN NOV. 2002 FROM THE EAST COAST / BOSTON AREA.

HE HAS TAKEN GOOD CARE OF IT , GARAGED AND RARELY DRIVES IT.

SO DO TO THE FACT OF HIM RARELY DRIVING IT HE HAS DECIDED TO SELL IT .

HE IS A MOTIVATED SELLER AND HAS LOWERED THE RESERVE.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS IS BASICALLY A GOOD GTV, A NICE DRIVER  BUT IT IS NOT A 90 + POINT SHOW CAR.

I BELIEVE  IT IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A FUTURE RESTORATION .

CAR IS OPEN TO ANY INSPECTION.

Muhammad Ali's 1976 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Series II is for sale

Sat, Apr 27 2019

An Alfa Romeo was never in the plans. It was by accident that Muhammad Ali ended up bringing home this beautiful silver-on-black 1976 Spider Veloce Series II, but its interesting backstory only makes it more special. It's a story the car's next owner will surely need to memorize, as the car is currently listed on eBay for a Buy It Now price of $39,900 OBO. Found by Silodrome, the car is listed by Moto Exotica out of St. Louis, Missouri. According to Moto Exotica, which sources a clip from the book "Running with the Champ" by Ali's close friend and car guy Tim Shanahan, Ali had set out with Shanahan to buy a new Rolls-Royce (Ali loved his Double-Rs) during his time living in Chicago. The two visited European Imports in Lake Forest, Illinois, with the intention of buying a Kelly Green Corniche and possibly a Mercedes-Benz SL for Ali's wife, Veronica Porche. To Ali's dismay, the dealership did not have any SLs in stock, so this Alfa was suggested as an alternative. Ali purchased the car, brought it home, and ran into yet another issue. Porche did not know how to drive the car's manual transmission, and apparently didn't have any desire to learn. So the car mostly sat, with the exception of some rare errand runs by one of Ali's assistants. After a short time passed, Ali learned that Shanahan's personal car had broken down. In a situation that perhaps suggests destiny, Ali then gifted the car to Shanahan, who has owned the car for 40-plus years up until its sale to Moto Exotica. With about 80,000 miles, it has some wear and tear, such as a small crack on the dashboard, but it's in solid overall shape and recently received a respray. Plus it comes with the real registration with Ali's signature on it. Check out the full photos, video, and descriptive listing at Moto Exotica.

Alfa Romeo to gun for Jag F-Type with 6C

Mon, Aug 25 2014

It has taken Alfa Romeo years of promises to finally, truly return to the US with the 4C sports coupe and its initial 86-dealer network. We already know that the sporty Italian brand has more models on the way in near future, with a midsize sedan, crossovers and more headed our way according to the company's five-year plan. Now, the latest rumor from an unnamed source speaking to Auto Express, claims that Alfa has another, more powerful sports car on the slate to take on an even higher rung of performance vehicles, cars like the Jaguar F-Type. The so-called Alfa Romeo 6C would launch as a coupe with the twin-turbocharged V6 engine from Maserati Ghibli (which makes 404 horsepower in that application) and a convertible would join the lineup later. The Alfa's platform would come directly from the Maserati Alfieri, which is supposed to launch in 2016. In terms of styling, the insider describes the new coupe as closer to the earlier 8C Competizione than the 4C. That suggests a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, plenty of gorgeous curves and the brand's long-lived shield grille flanked by LED headlights up front. Auto Express' source claims a 2017 launch date for the new range, and that could fit in Alfa's already-announced product plan. In its five-year forecast, the company said a specialty car would join the ranks from 2016-2018. At the time, we assumed this would be the sibling to the next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, the Italian end of the project was more recently reported to be in doubt, with thoughts that the codeveloped model may end up wearing a Fiat badge. The 6C could be an interesting alternative if the project comes to fruition.

Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan debuts with 510 hp, killer curves [w/video]

Wed, Jun 24 2015

After a very blurry, accidental photo debut just yesterday, Alfa Romeo let loose the first official images and information about the upcoming Giulia. And she's a looker. We've got a man on the ground in Milan for the reveal who'll be bringing us more about the Giulia later on, but in the meantime let's take a look at the facts. Alfa's rakish new sedan certainly offers enough performance to justify the fast-standing-still styling. The Giulia seen here is the top-of-the-line Quadrifoglio edition, which has a turbocharged V6 that produces 510 horsepower (likely a metric figure, so it might be rated 503 here) and is good for a trip to 62 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds. The car will also come in lower-power specs, likely using variations of a turbocharged four-cylinder. That quick acceleration is at least partially down to a very impressive curb weight. Alfa hasn't given us an official figure, per se, but does mention that the Giulia has a weight-to-power ratio "lower than 3kg/hp." Doing the math, that would put the sedan under 3,400 pounds, which is impressive. For reference, a BMW M3 sedan makes 425 hp and weighs in at around 3,600 pounds, while a 464-hp Cadillac ATS-V weighs about 100 pounds more. We know from Alfa's US-spec 4C that the sedan might gain a bit of heft in its cross-Atlantic translation, but if it's even in that ballpark, we'll be excited. Handling should be excellent, too, at least as far as we can tell from the case made on paper. The company boasts a 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, with a multi-link rear suspension and double wishbones up front. We're also promised "rapid, accurate steering" which, again, is borne out by the 4C. The Giulia Quadrifoglio features a torque-vectoring rear differential, an active front splitter to improve aerodynamics at high speeds, and a computer system called Chassis Domain Control to keep the various subsystems balanced. Touted as a competitor to the BMW 3 Series (an M3 competitor in this spec), the Giulia will be available as a rear-wheel-drive vehicle as standard, of course. But an optional all-wheel-drive setup is also in the cards. You'll have to decide for yourself if the flowing, long-hood-short-deck styling works, but we think it's excellent (at least based on the first few images). Find a bit more detail about the upcoming Giulia in the press release below, and expect more from Milan shortly.
