You are bidding on a 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce that has been in storage since 1987. The engine ran fine and the transmission shifted smoothly with no syncro issues when put in storage. The engine currently turns freely but has not been started. The car rolls freely but has no brakes. The clutch master cylinder is seized and I do not know the condition of the clutch slave cylinder or other clutch parts. Due to the length of time in storage the car will need work in order to become road worthy and bidders should consider this car a "project" car in need of restoration. I purchased the car in 1986 and shortly afterwards had a body shop repair the rocker panels and rear wheel arches with metal parts from International Auto Parts. The rocker area was not repaired in the factory style and the joint on the door sill reflects poor workmanship as can be seen from the photos. I believe they made the rocker area structurally sound but I am making no representation whatsoever regarding any structural aspect of the car. Auto body filler was used on the inside of the rear wheel arches. The body shop painted the car and there is overspray and "orange peal" in some areas, they also used epoxy and fiberglass cloth for some patches, some of which can be seen in the photos. Bidders should conduct their own examination of the vehicle or make allowances in their bid price to repair areas traditionally subject to rust in Alfa Romeos of this vintage. This car is substanitally complete. It has the 1750 engine ( number 00551.2514) with the Spica fuel injection. The car was originally white. but red when I purchased it. I believe the only missing parts are the lense to the backup light, tool kit , pull tab on the glove compartment door and the fan shroud, one hub cap is damaged. The car still has the cross bar between the front bumpers and the ridgeline above the grill. It does not appear that it has ever sustained any front collision damage other than some small dents in the grill. All bumpers are in good condition with no significant dents and the car still has the "lolipop" reflectors in the rear as can be seen in the photos. On close inspection one can see that the rear edge of the trunk is not quite right and probably sustained some damage. There is also some rust under the rear edge of the trunk. The car comes with a new carpet kit which has not been installed - the carpet was only put in place for photographs and has not been permanently attached. I am at least the third owner. I have some invoices from prior owners going back to 1977 and an odometer reading of 46,530 miles. One invoice shows that in 1981 at 68,449 miles the engine was rebuilt by Gaston Andrey Inc., an Alfa dealer in the Boston area. Car has optional hardtop. This model Alfa Romeo is hard to find and increasing in value. Well restored examples are being advertised in the $30,000 range. Despite the short commings this car has I believe it is a good candidate for restoration. Alternatively, one could bring it up to daily driver condition with the thought of a full restoration at a later date. This car is offered AS IS with no guarantee of any nature. The buyer is responsible for any and all shipping costs. It is the responsibility of anyone bidding on this car to satisfy themselves as to its condition prior to bidding. Although the seller has tried to acurately describe the condition of this vehicle, and present representative photos, the seller accepts no liability whatsoever for inaccuracies, errors or omissions. The car has Pirelli P4 tires which were new 25 years ago and the successful bidder is responsible for determining if they are road worthy.

On Location at the Alfa Romeo Museum with the new Giulia
Tue, Jun 30 2015The most exciting news from the reveal of the new Alfa Romeo Giulia was undoubtedly the 510-hp Quadrifoglio model that will top the lineup. To play up the brand's Italian-ness, as well as the fabulous sound the twin-turbo engine makes, Alfa had opera singer Andrea Bocelli sing the car out onto the stage. The event took place at Alfa Romeo's old headquarters in Arese just outside Milan. It's also the site of the brand's museum, which has been closed to the public for years and was recently expanded and redone. We got a quick preview ahead of the museum's official public reopening on June 30, 2015. Anyone traveling to the Milan area should definitely check it out, even if those who aren't die-hard Alfisti. Before the Alfa event, I got to spend some time at Expo Milano 2015. Expos like it are held every five years now around the world and are the modern-day equivalent to a world's fair. The theme was "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life" with the pavilions from various countries showcasing displays on food production, shortages, and future solutions. When you're done watching our On Location video, stick around for an Alfa promo reel that teases the Giulia's insanely delicious noise.
Alfa Romeo Stelvio to get a new rear-drive base version
Mon, Jul 2 2018Good 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.
Alfa Romeo wants your vote on designs for a 4C 'Designer's Cut' anniversary model
Fri, Jul 21 2023In 2018, the heritage division at Fiat Chrysler America launched a project called "Reloaded by Creators." It started with FCA Heritage restoring and selling a number of precious and vintage Italian models like the Alfa Spider IV and Lancia Fulvia brought back to new condition by the in-house brands. When Stellantis took over FCA, Stellantis' Heritage Department took over the initiative and expanded the project with one-offs like the Abarth Classiche 1000 SP tribute built on the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. The classics heads are at it again with this, the 4C Designer's Cut project. Planned as a 10th anniversary celebration of the Alfa Romeo 4C coupe, the Designer's Cut will create a one-off tribute to some aspect of Alfa Romeo history that will also "pay tribute to authentic Italian style and driving pleasure embodied by the original 4C." Alessandro Maccolini, who designed the 4C and remains part of the Alfa Romeo Style Center as a design manager, is heading the effort. He's come up with three aesthetic proposals so far. The first is the 4C Tributo, a crimson red take that takes straight aim at one of the peaks in the vintage Alfa Romeo catalog, the Tipo 33 Stradale. The second is the 4C Corsa, a race-inspired version in matte gray "to accentuate the muscular shape and performance-oriented technical features," on black wheels.  Finally, the 4C Leggenda. Done up in light blue over white wheels, the sporty inspiration is the 1750 GT Veloce, the historic inspiration is colors that echo hues in Milan's crest of Biscione, a feature in Alfa Romeo’s logo. The automaker wants feedback from enthusiasts about which one to choose and which direction to take. It's not clear yet if Alfa Romeo plans changes to the powertrain. The Abarth Classiche 1000 SP tribute didn't alter the mechanicals, sticking with the 4C's 1,742-cc turbocharged four-cylinder making 240 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It is clear that Alfa plans to sell this one-off, highlighting its desirability to "passionate collectors." The curious are encouraged to e-mail Stellantis Heritage now. The Abarth 1000 SP is still available to purchase, as are a 1958 Abarth 500 tribute that's based on a 1970 Fiat 500. Have your money ready.
