Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. 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:"This cute little Italian sports car is perfect for those with a passion for driving. Those leaf strewn backroads of Fall will beckon you around every turn. I bought this car in June 2004 with 70,000 miles on it. Now 9 years later and only 3,000 more miles it is time to part. Twisting the key brings the Spider's all-aluminium twin-cam two-litre highly-spirited inline four to life. (Temple of VTEC worshippers may not wish to note that the Alfa Romeo Spider was the first production car to use variable valve timing back in 1980, beating Honda's V-Tec system by almost ten years.) The Alfa's Twin-Cam engine, produces 115 horsepower a bit past 5,000 rpm, and 120 lbs. ft. of torque just before 3,000 rpm. Unlike the Gregorian crescendo of most modern engines, the Alfa's four roars like a wounded beast, with just enough thrash to let you know its mechanical heart is beating with the explosive deaths of millions of hydrocarbons."
I have had many performance upgrades installed by European Auto Specialsits in Cincinnati (repairs & performance upgrades alone over $8500) including:
Performance headers and performance muffler (entire exhaust system from headers to tailpipe replaced including new catalytic converter). Performance Bilstein shocks and performance springs, larger performance rear sway bar. Cross-drilled rotors. All bushings replaced with polyurethane bushings.
Exhaustive maintenance & repairs:
Plugs & wires, cap & rotor, air filter, fuel filter, passenger window motor, wiper motor, heater motor, changed all fluids (coolant, clutch, brake, engine, transmission) including rear end limited slip additive, headlight switch. New driveshaft components: both U joints, center support, center bearing, flex disc. Alignment performed. Emergency brake cable replaced, all cooling hoses replaced. Door stops replaced. New ignition switch, replaced radio and replaced all 4 speakers and added 250W Alpine amp. 3-spoke wood steering wheel.
Total suspension rebuild:
Center mount bushing kit, shock bushing kit, shock bushing kit, trunion arm bushing kit, rear anti roll bar kit, training arm kit, diff trunion kit, spring set, performance swaybar, poly cater bushing, control arms, bushing inn lower arms, lower ball joints, tie rod ends, front & rear brake hoses, shocks.
Summary:
As the pictures note this car is in excellent mechanical condition after extensive maintenance and performance upgrades. Although not perfect, I have done the heavy lifting and you are well on your way toward an Italian weekend drop top backroad cruiser. Body work due to rust (see pictures) is required. Lastly, the heater motor which was replaced has since failed and needs to be replaced and the speedometer stopped functioning sometime this year but I only drove it for the first time a few weeks ago.

Just 45% of Fiat dealers are profitable, and they're angry about it
Mon, 07 Oct 2013<
On average, Fiat dealers have only been selling about 17 cars a month.
We've been wondering for some time how Fiat dealers in North America have been getting along with just one model range in their showrooms up until recently. Franchisees spent millions building, stocking and manning sleek new 'studio' showrooms, only to have but a single model to sell, the cherubic 500. And even with its many derivatives, the Cinquecento is still an inexpensive model with its attendant lower margins. Perhaps it should come as no surprise then, that just 45 percent of US Fiat dealers are said to be profitable.
Watch Alfa Romeo's slightly suggestive lifestyle ad for the 4C
Sun, Jan 4 2015We haven't watched a car ad with this much European panache in quite some time - and let us be clear, we're using the phrase "European panache" in its marketing sense, which is code for "women in lingerie." But it's Alfa Romeo and it's Italy and it's the 4C and what else would we ever have expected? Alfa Romeo USA has posted a two-minute spot talking up the technology and capabilities of the of 4C, with beauty shots of the car augmented by an amorous pantomime between two beautiful people wearing a whisper of clothing and some un-subtle editing; like when the phrase "pure seduction" is matched to the 4C's rear end and... some lovely lady lumps. It's totally safe for work, but that doesn't mean you want it rolling when the boss walks by. And speaking of the above phrase, we're wondering if the coupe's exterior designers signed off on "The inexplicable design of the 4C is pure seduction." Inexplicable? Check it out in the video above.
Dodge PHEV due in 2022 expected to be the Hornet
Wed, Aug 11 2021A relatively new saga involving hornets in the Pacific Northwest begins with the adjective "murder" and gets worse from there. A relatively dated saga involving hornets in the automotive industry begins with the name "Dodge" and is — or could be — much friendlier to plant and animal life. Last year, former Dodge parent company Fiat Chrysler trademarked the term "Dodge Hornet" for the first time. Two months ago, an Italian publication credited its sources with news that current parent company Stellantis will create a Dodge version of the Alfa Romeo Tonale (pictured) and call it the Hornet. Now, Mopar Insiders picked up on Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares sharing a roadmap of the 20 PHEV and battery-electric vehicles coming our way in the next two years between the company's 14 brands. Dodge merits a single PHEV entry in the 2022 column. MI says this will be the Hornet.   As FCA recast its U.S. lineups to give Dodge more focus and give Chrysler a reason to exist, Dodge lost the Caliber, Nitro, and Journey. The way this new report is put, and as we mused a year ago, the coming Hornet will replace the Journey — a space Dodge could do well to return to. Never given much love by the parent company, the Journey turned into a hoary old thing over its 13 years on the market, but sold in remarkable numbers to the end. According to Car Sales Base, sales increased nearly every year for the first nine years of the Journey's life. Even during the sales decline over the last four years of its production life, the Journey found 298,594 homes in the U.S. More than 12,000 zombie units have been moved off lots this year. A Dodge Hornet likely wouldn't offer the Wal-Mart rollback pricing the Journey was known for. Also, the Hornet would pack in just two rows, whereas the Journey offered three. Nevertheless, we're now talking about three vehicles sharing major internal organs; the Alfa Romeo Tonale leans heavily on the Jeep Compass platform and internals, and the Dodge is expected to be built at the same Naples, Italy plant as the Alfa Romeo. The economies of scale are there. As for powertrain, we know there's a Tonale PHEV coming, but it's thought to get its plug-in system from the Jeep Renegade 4xe that's based around the smaller 1.3-liter four-cylinder with either 190 or 240 total horsepower instead of the larger 2.0-liter engine in the Wrangler 4xe.
