I have had the privilege of owning this Italian work of art since October 2003.  Now it's time for me to offer the beautiful car to a new owner, who hopefully will appreciate her as much as I have.  It's not a "show" car, but a very sound and attractive vehicle that still turns heads when you drive by.  It needs to be driven and unfortunately I no longer have the time to devote to her.  

I am by no means a mechanic and this is a 30 year old car.  It is very sound and drives well but like any car that's been on the road for 3 decades, it is not perfect.  The synchro in 2nd gear is a little touchy....a very common issue with this model.  The blower for the defroster/heater does not work.  Until recently, both power windows worked fine, but now the driver's side window has stopped working (the window is up).  Additionally, the driver's side door won't lock -- not sure if that's related to the power window problem.  The levers for the vent windows are not attached but I do have them in the glove compartment. (Same as when I purchased the car!)  

On the "good" side:  the car has Michelin tires with almost no wear.  The radiator core has been replaced within the last month.  The canvas top is in excellent condition with a clear rear window.  I replaced the aftermarket radio that was in the car with a Pioneer receiver/CD player with a detachable face plate.  I am including a copy of Pat Braden's  Alfa Romeo Owner's Bible, a 1984 Owner's Operational Manual (50 state version) and an Alfa flag that I briefly flew on my garage.

SUMMER IS NOT OVER YET!  I'm offering a rare opportunity to own the Italian sports car you always wanted, at a very reasonable price.  The car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.  Local pick up only, but I will work with a buyer that wants to ship the car at the buyer's cost.

Alfa Romeo Caimano concept is peak Seventies wedge design

Mon, Feb 1 2016

This 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. Related Video: Alfa Romeo at the Bremen Classic Motor Show - The iconic Caimano concept car will be featured in a special exhibition dedicated this year to the revolutionary designs of the 1970s. - The "wedge on wheels" thought up by Italdesign is based on the chassis of the Alfasud, another of Giugiaro's creations, and is a fine example of the extreme design of its time. - The only example of the model belongs to the Alfa Romeo Museum. - The Motor Show will take place from February 5 to 7 in Bremen and will open the classic car season. It will bring together some 650 exhibitors in eight halls covering an area of over 45,000 square metres.
