MORE PICTURES: http://s466.photobucket.com/user/oita-dow/media/ALFA%20SPIDER/alfa014.jpg.html PLEASE IGNORE THE DATE STAMP ON THE PICTURES - THEY WERE TAKEN RECENTLY. Here is an excellent true survivor car. This unmolested and virtually rust-free (a magnet sticks to every square inch) car starts right up and runs fine with an amazing exhaust note, especially when you start winding her out. I would confidently drive this car on short errands or long road trips. The car certainly appears to have had very little average annual mileage since 1976. The car was manufactured in August 1976 and is titled as a 1977 model year. These unit-body constructed cars handle very well, and are rattle free and solid. With this 5-speed car you are never forced to run at high RPM. Passing power is always on tap with a downshift from 5th to 4th. 5th gear is basically overdrive - no higher gear is needed. The included Alfa Romero factory hard top still has the steel Alfa Romeo tag and is in excellent condition with only one noticeable scratch in the vinyl. The glass on both the hard top and the rest of the car is very good to excellent. The soft top looks new and has an excellent rear window. The five original Alfa Romeo aluminum wheels are included as is a spare tire, a chrome luggage rack, the original jack, the under-dash air conditioning unit and the compressor (disconnected), other odds and ends, an owners manual and receipts totaling well over $2,000. The rotor, cap, wires and plugs are new. The alternator is about 1 year old; a receipt is included. The leather seats are decent- there is a small hole in the passenger seat and some wear showing here and there. There is a small crack in the dash behind the speedometer; easy to miss. The passenger side wiper needs a new rubber blade. The dual side draft Weber carbs look and work great. This car came up from Tennessee where it was originally purchased and where I was told it spent approximately the first 20 years of its life. It then spent the remainder of time here in Dallas, PA where it was only driven in dry summer weather. The original owner and 2nd owner were relatives; I was told I purchased the car from the 2nd owner, making me the 3rd owner. The body has a some minor dents, dings and scratches etc. but is extremely straight. It is not quite a show winner but wouldn't require too much to be one. There is a spot on the hood that looks like a small split in the paint, perhaps from engine heat. Driving, signal, parking and brake lamps all work but the signal flasher isn't working so I have to flash them manually with the lever. There is a small dent followed by a scratch touched up with matching paint on the right side rear fender lip that looks like a very minor mishap that someone attempted to repair but didn't do a very good job. The floors are excellent as is the under side of the car. There are a few small holes in the spare tire well which will be easy to repair if desired - to stop further rust I painted the well with a rust-preventative primer and paint, but there is no filler in there. As a matter of fact, other than the small dent in the right rear fender flare lip where an amateur repair was attempted. I found only one small paint bubble that is behind the right front wheel but I do not believe it is indicative of any major rocker rust as they are extremely solid and all smooth steel - I found no where a magnet won't stick. The temperature gauge and fuel gauge/low fuel warning lamp work fine. The heat and defrost/fan and wipers all work as intended. Please note: the front turn signals shown in the bumper-less pictures are obviously not original - I added them when I removed the rubber bumpers to save weight and have a more vintage look. The original bumpers have turn signals built in and are included. The turn signals shown will be included if desired. My mechanic friend told me cylinder compression is good. The included owners manual is an original 1975 model year, but a downloaded copy of a 1977 manual is included as is one set of original keys. I only have one good battery for my project cars - please bring a battery with you if you intend to drive it home; I can't include a battery. Winning bidder is buying an great, virtually rust free, straight, solid classic car.

SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. In addition to items disclosed in the above description, here are some items which can use some attention if so desired: 1. The speedometer has stopped working - I removed the speedometer cable from the back of the speedometer and it looks like the tip of the piece that enters the back of the speedometer may have broken. The mileage on the speedometer is 53,261 and the title reads 53,219. I don't know the actual mileage so I marked 100,000 in the mileage section of the description although I doubt very much it is anywhere near that number. 2. The gas tank drips if it is more than apx. 1/3 full. I do not know where the drip comes from but I have to place a piece of cardboard on the floor if I overfill the tank. I simply don't fill it more than 1/3 full. 3. The car uses some oil (not a lot) and will occasionally smoke a little, but the car runs great. I was told to switch to a slightly thicker grade of oil since valve-guide blow by is common for these cars, but I haven't bothered because the occasional smoke doesn't bother me. 4. The oil pressure gauge isn't working, it's most likely just the sending unit. A NON-REFUNDABLE $250 DEPOSIT VIA PAYPAL IS DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF WINNING THE AUCTION. THIS $250 DEPOSIT IS NON-REFUNDABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE DEPOSIT YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE CAR SO PLEASE DON'T BID IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE DEPOSIT MONEY AVAILABLE. PAYMENT OF BALANCE (BY CERTIFIED CHECK, WIRE TRANSFER, OR CASH - NO PAYPAL FOR THE BALANCE) IS DUE WITHIN TEN DAYS OF WINNING THE AUCTION.
YOU WILL HAVE 10 DAYS THE TO PICK UP THE CAR UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE AGREED TO FOR GOOD CAUSE. Thank you.

We're not getting the Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce, and that's fine
Wed, Sep 21 2016Alfa Romeo revealed today that a special edition of the Giulia sports sedan called "Veloce" will make its debut in Paris. It's only slated for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, but before you start lamenting that the US will once again miss out on a cool Euro-spec sedan, we have some good news: it's nothing special. The Giulia Veloce is just a normal Giulia with an appearance package and a fancy name. It comes with either the 280-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine, which we will get in 276-hosepower trim, or the 210-horsepower diesel four-cylinder. From there, Alfa throws in options like Q4 all-wheel drive, 19-inch 5-hole wheels, a tweaked front bumper, sport seats and steering wheel, rear diffuser and black window trim. That's it. Well that, and one of the Veloces at the show will sport a new color of blue, but it's not clear if that's a package-exclusive color or just another option. Many of these components will be available in the US, including the all-wheel drive, wheels, and, based on the American Alfa website, probably the black window trim. It's just that they won't all come in one package. And even if a few pieces of vehicle flair don't make it here, we're still not going to lose sleep over an appearance package. If you really need to be upset about something, perhaps consider the fact that we probably won't see Giulias on dealer lots until early next year. And that's just our best guess since we don't have an official launch date yet. Now that's something worthy of some frustration. Related Video:
Alfa Romeo Giulia, new SUV delayed
Thu, Nov 5 2015Damn it, Alfa Romeo. You had one job. One job. Just return to the North American market. That's it. And just when we thought that long-awaited event was actually in sight, thanks to the new, high-performance Giulia Quadrifoglio sedan, we're being forced to report what we've reported so, so many times before – Alfa's US return has (probably) been delayed. Citing supplier sources, Automotive News Europe reports that not only has the new Giulia's European launch been delayed six months, to mid 2016, but the Italian brand's first SUV also won't arrive until at least early 2017. That's six and nine months later than each vehicle was expected, respectively. US on-sale dates for both vehicles were slated for at least three to six months after hitting European dealers. If ANE's report is correct, this virtually guarantees we won't see the Giulia Quadrifoglio before autumn 2016/winter 2017, while the Giulia-based SUV's US arrival is effectively pushed back to spring or summer of 2017. The delay in the Giulia is being blamed on additional work on safety and ride characteristics, ANE's sources claimed. The Quadrifoglio was to be followed by four-cylinder variants in March, but this delay means the high-performance Giulia will be on its own until the end of 2016 in Europe, and early- to mid-2017 in the US. It's unclear if these issues are to blame for the delay in the SUV, although considering it's based in part on the Giulia, that seems like a reasonable assumption. Naturally, and we're guessing annoyingly for Fiat Chrysler executives, this latest delay is raising further questions about the company's long-term plan for its troubled Turin-based brand. ANE quoted multiple analysts who called out Sergio Marchionne's overly ambitious plans for Alfa, although Morningstar's Richard Hilgert said it best: "I would be impressed if the brand sold 200,000 [units per year]," Hilgert told ANE. "I think Marchionne set an overly-lofty target as a shock treatment to a patient in cardiac arrest. The idea being to get an immediate dramatic response, but his plan for 400,000 units in 2018 would have the patient immediately get up and run a five-kilometer race." Related Video:
Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Giulia Quadrifoglio NRING editions celebrate lap records
Fri, Mar 2 2018Alfa Romeo will bring no less than six star cars to its Geneva Motor Show booth. Since records are not only meant to be broken, but celebrated, the Giulia Quadrifoglio NRING and Stelvio Quadrifoglio NRING limited editions were created to address the latter task. In September 2016, the Giulia Quadrifoglio broke the Nurburgring lap record for standard production four-door sedans with a time of 7:32 — a feat since bettered by the Jaguar XE SV Project 8. Last September, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio set a lap record of 7:32, displacing the Range Rover Sport SVR from the top of the timesheets. The two NRING specials come drenched in exclusive Circuito Grey paint, accented with carbon mirror caps and a CF front badge, on top of carbon ceramic brakes. The cabin's so dark you'll need to let your eyes adjust before picking out the Sparco racing seats with carbon shells, carbon accents on the steering wheel and shift knob, and the red stitching. Both sedan and SUV come optioned with Alfa Connect with 3D Nav infotainment, Harman Kardon premium audio, active cruise control, and tinted windows. The Giulia gets a naked carbon roof. The Italian carmaker's only making 108 of each NRING model, in honor of how long the company's been in business. Throughout that time, Alfa Romeo has stamped its mark on The Green Hell, such as when Tazio Nuvolari won the 1932 German Grand Prix in an 8C 2300 Tipo Monza ahead of his German competition, or in 1966 when a Giulia Sprint GTA was the first GT road car to make it round the 'Ring in under 10 minutes. These Geneva-bound special editions will be reserved "for collectors and the most loyal Alfa Romeo customers." A numbered badge in a carbon fiber dashboard insert will identify the owner's place in line. Two more special editions, also held to 108 examples, come in the guises of a 4C Competizione and a 4C Spider Italia. The 4C Competizione comes in matte Vesuvio Grey with a carbon roof, plus extra carbon splashed around on the headlight molding, mirror caps, side air vents, and rear spoiler. Microfiber covers the steering wheel and seats, red stitching makes it pop, dark-finish wheels provide the stance. The 4C Spider Italia wears Misano Blue paint adorned with the Italian Tricolore, yellow brake calipers, yellow stitching in the cabin to match. If that isn't loud enough, the premium Alpine audio with subwoofer can get you turned up further.
