1981 Alfa Romeo Spider-no Reserve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
1981 Alfa Romeo Spider-No Reserve!!!!. CLEAR TITLE. I bought this spider (2) months ago only to flip it for a profit. The bad news is it has a problem with REVERSE!!!. I put over a thousand dollars in parts and labor. But once running I found out reverse has an issue "popping out". As previous owner of(4) Spiders, (2) Gtv's, and(2) MIlano's. I know my alfa's. this is not a simple fix. Not the leather boot, or reverse lockout mechanism. this one needs work in the gearbox, which will require a Lift. I cannot fix it in my yard(or at least do not want to!!). So, here it goes for sale. I was going to put a good coat of paint and fix the top. Now REVERSE!! Takes priority. The cars starts and runs with no problem from 1st to 5th gear. Just REVERSE, holds it back from reliable transportation. Yes the paint is poor, and the convertible top frame. Look at pics. IT has SPICA Mechanical fuel injection.
The GOOD:These parts have been replaced in the last (2) months.New Clutch Master Cylinder and used Brake booster(from Alfa Parts exchange-yesterday!!), Rear brake flex hose and drivers rear hard line.Cut Rotors, new brake fluid in entire system. Thermostat and coolant. Igniiton wires,Spark Plugs Distributor Cap and rotor.Air Filter, Both Fuel Pumps!!. Main fuel filter, and inline fuel filter. Did some work to the rocker panels (welding, All metal, and Bondo) preping for paint. Tires have new tread, some dryrot. Gearbox oil, Differential oil, engine oil and filter also done. New fan shroud included, was going to do the motor mounts. now should wait till after gearbox repair. Exhaust could use new gaskets, pipes are in great shape. I HAVE A VERY REALISTIC and FAIR "BUY it NOW". Will consider a trade for any Truck or Firearms(legal FFL transfer only) any Condition!!!! Call, Text, Email. Ned. 305 316-1867 Not a PA Car. Just using the PA plate so I dont have problems with the city inspectors and neighbors.The car was last registered in 2004 in Pompano Beach, FL |

Mazda leads Consumer Reports' latest Brand Report Card Rankings
Thu, Feb 18 2021The latest automaker brand report cards from Consumer Reports are in, and there are quite a few changes for 2021. At the very top of the charts sits Mazda, up three spots over last year, followed by BMW and Subaru to round out the top three. It's interesting to note that mainstream brands (non-luxury in CR-speak) don't seem to be at a disadvantage in CR's rankings, with five of the top 10 spots. In addition to Mazda in first and Subaru in third, Honda, Toyota, Chrysler, and Buick were the other high-ranking non-luxury marques. The ratings are derived from "a combination of predicted reliability, and owner satisfaction based on member surveys, and CR’s hands-on analysis" and also includes safety features and crash test scores. At the very bottom of the list sit Mitsubishi, Land Rover and Alfa Romeo. "Our brand rankings don't just look at how models perform on our test track, but the broad picture of vehicle quality," said Jake Fisher, Senior Director of Automotive Testing at Consumer Reports. "Fortunately, consumers will find they have many options that are safe, enjoyable, and reasonably priced." The biggest jumps in the brand report card rankings come from Chrysler, Buick and Honda, which each moved up five spots compared to last year's rankings. The news wasn't nearly as good for Lincoln, which fell an alarming 15 spots this year, Genesis, which fell 13 spots, or Kia, which fell 10 spots. Related Video:
2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale previewed ahead of February unveiling
Fri, Jan 28 2022After a false start, Alfa Romeo is finally ready to introduce the production version of the Tonale concept it presented in 2019. It released a short video on its social media channels to preview the model, which will be positioned below the Stelvio as an entry-level crossover. The murky, 12-second flick highlights the Tonale's digital instrument cluster, which features a layout called "cannocchiale" ("telescope" in Italian) by the brand. It seemingly consists of a screen flanked by a pair of round dials, and it's loosely inspired by the layout found in some of Alfa's classic models. Later examples of the 115-series GTV used a pair of large analog gauges separated by warning lights and smaller gauges. Discover driver-centric design in the cockpit of the new #AlfaRomeoTonale, featuring the multi-functional “Cannocchiale” cluster. “La Metamorfosi” begins February 8th. https://t.co/7tknJCcFTR pic.twitter.com/dh7o9BUwBq — Alfa Romeo USA (@AlfaRomeoUSA) January 26, 2022 What's more interesting than the cluster is the image of the Tonale that appears on the middle screen. Shown above, it's our first official look at the Stelvio's baby brother. Surprisingly, the crossover shares more styling cues with the 2019 concept than with the prototype spotted at a design clinic later that year. The shape of the grille hasn't changed much, and there are three U-shaped LEDs integrated into each headlight. The rest of the design remains shrouded in darkness. Our crystal ball tells us that the production model will look a lot like a toned-down version of the concept; we're not expecting the proportions to significantly change. Unverified rumors claim that the Tonale will be closely related to the Jeep Compass beneath the sheetmetal, and it will be offered with several engines and at least one plug-in hybrid drivetrain. It's this system that sources say delayed the launch: Alfa Romeo's boss reportedly sent engineers back to the drawing board in April 2021. Alfa Romeo will unveil the Tonale online on February 8, 2022, at 9 a.m. ET, which is 6 a.m. in California. And, while the odds of seeing it on our shores were previously unknown, Alfa Romeo's American division all but confirmed in a tweet that the model will be sold here. Related video:
Marchionne to make Alfa Romeo a separate company within Fiat
Mon, 28 Apr 2014According to a report in Automotive News that quotes "people familiar with the matter," the next big play in Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne's plan for Alfa Romeo is to break it off from Fiat Group Automobiles and set it up as a separate company within the Fiat empire, giving it the same structure as Ferrari and Maserati. The idea, say the sources, is that a transparent, standalone Alfa Romeo that has to justify its every move could clearly prove its success in the public financial statements it would have to report, finally achieving Marchionne's aim of making Alfa Romeo "a credible business proposition."
That, of course, assumes that Alfa Romeo will make a success of it. The brand hasn't made a profit in any year of Marchionne's decade at the helm; sales last year fell to numbers not seen in almost half a century and its new product offensive might not include the two vehicles currently responsible for 99 percent of its sales. We're told that the brand's six new models will begin arriving in 2016 - a roadster, a midsize sedan and large sedan, a compact SUV and large SUV, and a large coupe.
Marchionne aims to expand Alfa's global appeal in several ways, the first by stressing that they are Italian products that 'belong' to Italy. This is the stance that appears to have put the kibosh on the roadster twinned with the coming Mazda MX-5/Miata. Alfa Romeos will all be made in their home country, and if they take off they'll help bandage Fiat's problem with underused plant capacity, a bugbear that is just as problematic culturally and politically as financially. Top-tier trims would use V6 engines developed by Ferrari, and global access would get a boost by selling Alfa Romeos in Jeep's 1,700 international dealerships.
