Sharp, all-original Alfa Romeo 164S, the one to own. This is a fairly rare first-year model of the Sport in the US. It has always been a California-car since sold new in Southern California, until relocated to Northern California last year. I had no intention of selling my Alfa, but a sudden job-relocation makes this improbable. Reluctantly, I am posting it for sale here to find it a good Alfisti home.
This S comes fully-equipped with the Sport package, with the revised 3.0L V6 engine, updated suspension, Aerodynamics body trim package, S wheels and sport seats. It has 152K original miles, and it runs super, in both around town and on the freeway. That having been said, I do not fancy myself to be a race-car driver, and DO NOT abuse my cars, and have never done so. I have been very careful driver, and drive my 164 normally.
The 5-spd manual transmission shifts well and precisely into all forward and reverse gears. There is NO slippage, grinding of gears or odd noises. The clutch grabs quickly and does not slip. It has had a new clutch master cylinder replaced recently, so no risk of losing clutch pressure unexpectedly.
The 3.0L engine received a top-end overhaul at around 125K miles. It is tight and not a leaky mess like most. It is completely stock original, without any modifications from stock, besides an updated ANSA exhaust system. The car has also has front brakes just serviced ( the rotors are mirror mint). Rear brakes are about 80%. The 164 has stock-size radials with excellent tread ( at least 85% left), mounted on the factory alloy wheels. NO front-end vibrations, wobbling or pulling. Revised water pump and pulley update, of course.
The body is in EXCELLENT condition, with absolutely NO rust whatsoever, anywhere in, under or around the car. The body is completely 100% RUST-FREE, as any clean, California car should always be. The original factory finish has held up remarkably well, with no flaking of the clearcoat anywhere, or fading to the roofline, trunk, hood or rear spoiler. The original glossy black still retains a beautiful shine despite the passing of years, evident that it has been regularly garaged.
The interior upholstery is in better than average condition. Both front seats are sound, with NO cracks, splits, tears or separation of the seams. The outer bolster on the driver's seat bottom shows some dye loss on the leather, common for any real leather seat. It could be easily re-dyed or gently touched up to make it look 100%. The rest of the upholstery, including the other seats and all door panels are in very good shape, clean and with no damage. The factory carpeting is very clean, and I had it recently professionally shampooed, along with the trunk carpeting, which is also very clean.
Overall, it is a very solid, good-running Alfa 164S, hard to find in its original configuration. It has NEVER been in an accident, wrecked, modified or fiddled with. I have listed the car to sell, with a ridiculous $1 opening bid. That being said, I have advertised the 164S in various other venues, and am open to a reasonable, FAIR offer.
To those that like to play games and bid $5 at the time, this is NOT going to be the car for you. To the serious, potential interested bidders, I welcome your bid and any questions you may have concerning the 164S. I reserve the right to end this auction early at any time, should a serious offer present itself, so bid early and bid often~!
Upon end of the auction, I would like to receive payment within three business days. PLEASE ensure that your source of funds is in place and sorted out before placing a bid, in order to make timely payment.
If that means asking your significant other, checking with your boss that you are not getting transferred to Saudi Arabia or checking any significant tornado patterns landing in your home state, PLEASE do so prior to placing a bid and prior to the end of the auction.
Upon receipt of payment, I shall immediately mail you the CA title and bill of sale to the Alfa, via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation, unless otherwise noted. Method of payment can be a cashier's check, or money order(s). Personal, business, C.C advance or annuity account checks may be utilized, but must clear funding before the car is released. Additionally, a bank wire transfer may be sent to my local CHASE bank branch here in town; it allows for faster shipping arrangements and a timely closing of the transaction. Finally, PAYPAL may be used as an alternative if previously arranged between the buyer and seller (me), prior to placing a bid, and prior to the end of the auction.
I shall be glad to assist with transportation/ delivery of this 164S to any location, nationwide or overseas. I can make all arrangements for shipping from here to your location, at the most economical shipping rate available.
Feel free to EM or call me with questions at (650) 430-4660 ( no later than 9pm PST, please). Thank you for your interest~!

Best in Show: 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta wins at Pebble Beach
Mon, Aug 27 2018PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Well over 200 vehicles from 17 countries competed for Best in Show honors at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but there could be only one winner: the 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta you see above. The deep blue bodywork of the vehicle was first seen at the 1938 Berlin Motor Show, and the vehicle was recently restored to its original show condition. This Alfa Romeo is owned by David and Ginny Sydorick. "This car is one of only five built, and it has recently been completely restored, taking a huge amount of effort and dedication from all those involved," said Sydorick after the win. The '37 8C 2900B Touring finished ahead of a 1929 Duesenberg J Murphy Town Limousine and a 1948 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Figoni Fastback Coupe for the golden ribbon. This is the third time an Alfa Romeo has won the coveted Best in Show trophy at Pebble Beach, the first an 8C 2900B Touring Spider in 1988 and the second an 8C 2900B Touring Coupe in 2008. Last year's winner was a silver and blue 1929 Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta: Pebble Beach Misc.

Alfa Romeo 4C will be refreshed for the 2019 model year
Sun, Dec 10 2017Alfa Romeo Chief Technical Officer Roberto Fedeli said at a launch event for the Stelvio Quadrifoglio that an updated version of the 4C is coming next year as a 2019 model. "We are coming back to Formula 1," he said, "and we need the 4C to be our halo car," Fedeli told Autocar. But don't expect to see the refresh bring with it a manual transmission. No future high-performance models from Alfa, Maserati, or even Ferrari will be getting clutch pedals anytime soon, a decision reportedly made after Ferrari spent 10 million euros developing a manual gearbox for the California a few years back only to see exactly two customers choose the option over an automatic. We'd hazard a guess that Alfa will tone down its carbon-fiber 4C for the next generation. As fun as the little sportscar is on a race track, it's equally jarring to drive on regular roads. A revised suspension and perhaps power steering may be on the menu. Related Video:
Dodge Charger to slim down and run turbo four in next generation
Tue, May 31 2016The current Dodge Charger is getting long in the tooth. It was originally introduced in 2005 as a 2006 model. In car terms, that's an eternity, though it's been refreshed twice. Still, FCA US will keep the LX-generation car going, reportedly facelifting it one last time for 2019. After that, there are some bigger changes in store . Automotive News is reporting that the follower to the current LX Charger will lose almost 500 pounds and will once again offer a turbo four-cylinder. You might remember the front-wheel-drive four-banger Charger of the early '80s. The recharged sedan will be twin-turbo and it's going to use the 300-horsepower four-cylinder engine currently under development for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, AN says. The target weight for the future car is around 3,500 lbs, while the current car has a curb weight of nearly 4,000 lbs. Look for it to arrive in the early 2020s. The new platform will have a touch of Italian flair instead of the Daimler-Benz flavor embedded deep inside the LX cars. It will be built on an extended version of the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia's "Giorgio" platform, according to AN. Dealers were already shown a styling-buck almost a year ago.
