The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Drivers side exterior door handle needs to be replaced (part included in sale, rear bumper is cosmetically damaged, speedometer works when it wants to, very small hole in passenger and drivers seat, dash cut for aftermarket stereo, SPICA light stays lit and car is hard to start due to a custom made fuel pump return by my mechanic. Once the car is started the fuel pressure is fine and the car will run to hell and back. Easy to start when engine is warm. Car has aftermarket driver side rear view mirror."

Overall the car is in Good condition in my honest opinion.  It has been in my family for about 4 years now.  The last 2-3 years were spent in WV and FL.  I just recently had the car repaired, inspected, and titled here in Virginia to get her road worthy again.  The rear pinion seal had gone, and it was leaking fuel.  I had my auto mechanic at DIA Automotive in Virginia Beach, VA replace the rear pinion seal, all fuel lines, fuel filters, and fuel pump.  There is a fuel pump return for these cars that he was unable to find a part for so he custom made one. It's a little hard to start because of the custom fuel return, but it runs great once it cranks over. The car has new spark plugs, a bunch of new parts in the trunk most of which I do not know what all of them are, but there is a new door handle (the drivers side is broken like most of these cars I have seen around).  The wheels on this car are beautiful, and it has an Abarth exhaust.  The top looks great and I've had no leaks since I took it out of storage, but it hasn't been driven in the rain either.  I drive it 1-2 times a week mostly Sundays.  The car will come with the toneau cover, and the Virginia inspection sticker is less than 30 days old.  The car also comes with ALL of the original service documents, owners manual, and a few other random items the previous owners held on to.  


I have added a stereo to the car (Pioneer DEH-4400HD,and infinity reference 6x9's in sealed boxes behind the seats The antenna works, but looks like it was broken off.... the car receives all the local stations though).  The interior on the car is a solid 7.5 out of 10 in my personal opinion.  The exterior is about a 9.  I get more compliments driving this car than I do my 2004 WRX STi.  My problem is I am 6'7'' and my girlfriend is 6'0'' we can't keep this car it's too difficult for either of us to drive regularly.  

The car was gifted to me by my parents.  They bought it in PA while they were living in WV, had it titled in FL when they moved down there, and I had it titled here in VA.  Title in hand ready to go.

Please message me for any specific questions or further details.  I can take pictures or videos of whatever you like.  This car is beautiful and I hate to see it go, but honestly I'm not at a point that I can afford a fancy toy car like this and I'm just physically way too big for it.  It has less than 58,000 miles on it right now I just listed the mileage higher because I do drive it around still and will until the day it is sold.  It's not comfortable on my long legs and knees, but the waves, and smiles I get from people with the top down are too much fun.  This car has TONS of life left in it and cruises on the interstate, lights up your face with a smile for every on/off ramp, and is going to make whoever buys it very happy!  Please don't be afraid to ask me anything as I'm not trying to hide any details about the car.  

Upon completion of the auction a minimum of a $500 deposit must be made, and I will not ship the car and sign over the title until I have received full payment for the vehicle.  BUYER will be responsible for shipping or picking up the vehicle here in Virginia Beach VA.  I will not pay for or be responsible for trailer transport of the vehicle, but I am willing to drive it up to 85 miles from Virginia Beach VA.  US BIDDERS ONLY UNLESS YOU HAVE SHIPPING EXPERIENCE & PLANS.

Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is a fast Alfa, developed fast

Wed, Aug 30 2023

Alfa Romeo's 33 Stradale is a gorgeous supercar to simultaneously cap off the internal combustion era of the brand and kick off the electric era. But we did have some questions about it after the reveal, which we brought to Larry Dominique, the senior vice president of Alfa Romeo North America. And he was kind enough to answer a good number of them, revealing some interesting information. One of the first things we wanted to know about was the decision to make such a pivotal car such a clear tribute to the famed Tipo 33 race car from many decades ago. We certainly weren't complaining, but we could easily have seen Alfa doing something more modern or more original. Dominique said that part of the reason was to help with awareness of Alfa and its history, as awareness in general is something the brand still struggles with. So connecting the car with famous motorsports machines could help people understand more of what Alfa is and was. Of course, the Tipo 33 was also a gorgeous car to start with, and as this is among the last gas-powered Alfas, a tribute makes sense. The 33 Stradale's specs also looked shockingly similar to that of the Maserati MC20 supercar, and considering the mid-engine layout, we were expecting that under the curvy exterior, the Alfa would basically be that Maserati. Dominique told us that's not quite the case. Parts of the frame are borrowed from the Maserati, but apparently the engine is a version of the twin-turbo V6 from the Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio models, not Maserati's Nettuno V6. Apparently some aspects of the active suspension are also taken from the Giulia Quadrifoglio GTA, though neither Dominique nor Alfa's PR representative present had the detailed specifics at the time of the interview. We also learned a few more details about the electric powertrain. The battery pack comes in around 100-kWh in capacity, and it has an 800-volt architecture to support high-speed charging from 350-kW chargers. Beyond that, though, Dominique didn't have anything else to talk about for the electric 33. The 33 Stradale will be fast with 60 mph times under 3 seconds, but it's fast in another way. Dominique told us that this project got under way toward the end of summer and beginning of fall just last year. With final development coming over the next several months, that's a quick turnaround to getting a production car. One thing Dominique wouldn't tell us is how expensive the 33 Stradale is.
