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.

Only best-performing US Fiat dealers to get Alfa Romeo franchises
Mon, Feb 24 2014Alfa Romeo has been rumored to return to the US market so many times for so many years, it's hard to keep count. This time, though, Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne promises that it's for real. Alfa is scheduled to reappear in the States this summer with its 4C sports coupe as its introductory model. However, buyers won't be able to pop into just any Fiat showroom and leave with a 4C – it's planning to only sell Alfas at its best-performing dealers, according to The Detroit News. In fact, the first 4Cs sold here won't be sold at Fiat dealers at all. Instead the first shipment of cars in June will go to Maserati dealers, not unlike the handful of Alfa 8C Competizione coupe and convertible models that trickled in starting in 2008. According to Fiat Chrysler spokesperson Rick Deneau, the company is still deciding which Fiat retailers will participate in Alfa's reentry. Many of Fiat's US dealers are apparently not happy with the meritocracy approach. They built Fiat showrooms partially on the promise that Alfa would enter the US market in 2012, then 2013, and now later this year. Even worse for them, the prospects for more mainstream Alfa Romeo models in the US are still questionable. This isn't the first time that we've heard that Fiat plans to keep Alfa Romeo exclusive in the US. Still, Fiat only plans to export about a 1,000 4C sports coupes a year here. If Alfa wants to be a legitimate player in America and be a money-making concern globally, it will need far more sales than that.

Fiat Centro Stile sells design sketches to support kids in Italy
Sun, Jun 21 2020Fiat's Centro Stile design studio in Europe has kicked off a project called stART Again to support the global charity Save the Children. The studio put 136 high-resolution sketches of Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep, and Lancia vehicles for download online at just ˆ20 a pop — about $22. The proceeds from all sales will be donated to a charity founded in England 101 years ago "to improve the lives of children through better education, health care, and economic opportunities, as well as providing emergency aid in natural disasters, war, and other conflicts." Save the Children will use the funds to provide supplies, teaching materials, and support for studies for more than 100,000 children in the most disadvantaged areas of Italy who have been additionally harmed by the coronavirus and its effects. There are a heap of knockout drawings available. The selection at the Alfa Romeo store ranges from a 1958 Alfetta 158 racer to the coming Giulia GTA, classics in between including the immortal GTV 6 and the left-field 75 1.8 Turbo TCC racer. The Fiat marketplace contains wares from Abarth, Fiat, and Fiat Professional, with a massive emphasis on the new 500, but the hardcore 1972 Abarth 124 Spyder and oddball 900E van get slots in there (the 900E looks like a Volkswagen Vanagon, but the 900E came first). The Jeep shop is all business and big tires, save for the 1942 Willys MB, but someone needs to take the 1956 Jeep Forward Control sketch off the page and into reality. And the Lancia store has more to offer than the Stratos and Delta Integrale, an ominous Aurelia B20 GT and a Fulvia GT part of the five-model lineup. For some reason, Maserati got left out of the graphic bonanza, as did Ram, Dodge, and Chrysler, which is a shame. That still leaves 136 good reasons to click through and help the kiddies.

Alfa Romeo Caimano concept is peak Seventies wedge design
Mon, Feb 1 2016This weekend, the Bremen Classic Motor Show will be opening its doors with a "wedgetastic" theme, highlighted by the Alfa Romeo Caimano concept you see here. Alfa Romeo commissioned Giorgetto Giugiaro and his then-newly established Italdesign firm to cook up the Caimano concept for the 1971 Turin Motor Show. It was based on the Alfasud (also designed by Giugiaro) but shortened the chassis by nearly 8 inches and fitted with entirely different bodywork that made it look like it was from another planet. The canopy greenhouse eliminated the A pillar, with the B and C pillars forming a trapezoidal roll bar at the back, capped by an adjustable spoiler. Inside the cockpit were two recumbent bucket seats, a cylindrical dashboard, and two small openings in the glass canopy for ventilation. Of course it also had pop-up headlights, and it was powered by the 1.2-liter boxer for from the Alfasud, good for all of 68 horsepower. Striking though it may have been at the time, it shouldn't come as a surprise that only one example was ever built, and it remains in the Alfa Romeo museum in Milan. The company is taking it out of the collection, however, and bringing it to Bremen for the show. Alongside it, showgoers can expect to see such other "wedgetastic" creations of yesteryear as the Lancia Stratos, Maserati Khamsin, Lamborghini Countach, Mercedes C111, and the BMW Turbo X1 (which previewed the M1 to follow). Little surprise that most of these wedge designs were penned by either Giugiaro or by Marcello Gandini for Bertone. Along with Lionardo Fioravanti (of Pininfarina fame), they were each born in Italy in 1938 within months of each other, and went on to dominate Italian automotive design over the course of their careers.

It will bring together some 650 exhibitors in eight halls covering an area of over 45,000 square metres.
