1972 Alfa Romeo Gt Junior on 2040-cars
Tustin, California, United States
|
I’m selling my
1972 Alfa Romeo GT Junior European Model.
Originally sold on the 20th March 1972 in Bergamo Italy. The color is “faggio” (color code: AR516),
with Maremma wild boar tex interior. I
purchased the car from a local classic car dealer more than two years ago and
apparently I’m the 3rd owner of the car. The previous owner purchased the car from US
serviceman that had owned the car while stationed in Italy. At some point while still in Italy the engine
was replaced with European 1750 engine. The car was imported into US in
2004. The odometer shows 25,440 Km, and
has obviously turned over. Mechanically the car is in excellent condition. The engine drives super strong; one of the strongest I have seen. It accelerates fast and flawless; it pulls to 110 mph in no time. I drive the car every weekend and I have a blast driving it. There are no oil leaks, no white smoke, and or black smoke of any kind. All electrics works fine including gages, lights, heater fan & wipers. Tachometer and speedometer work fine with no issue. The car drives solid and suspension is tight and corners outstanding. The interior is all-original and it’s in good condition. Dash has a dash cap and floor plastic cover is original and it’s in very good condition. There are some rust bubbles on the upper lip of the trunk lid. There is some rust around the driver and passenger floors side drain hole, and spare tire drain hole, likewise the driver side door is rusted. Lower front valence is pushed in, and as shown in the photos, the front bumper is tweaked as well. Passenger side rocker door has a shallow dent. Most importantly, the car does not have any rust around the front windshield or the rear window, which is a very common and difficult to deal with. Both L& R rear quarter window areas are rust free as well. The jack point and floor is in good shape as well. The paint is good, however it is time for fresh paint as there are several spot where the clear coat has worn away. The car is a perfect daily driver; some thing that you can drive hard and enjoy. If you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me, I will do my best to
answer any questions that you may have. This
vehicle is being sold "as-is", with no warranty, expressed or implied.
Vehicle is available for inspection prior bidding to purchase. A non-refundable deposit of $500 is due within
24 hours of the auction close. The remaining balance is due within 5 days from
the close of auction, unless other arrangements were made. Accepted payment
methods are bank wire transfers, cashier's checks and money orders. If you wish
to obtain financing, please do so ahead of time. I reserve the right to end the
auction early. I also reserve the right to verify any or all bids to ensure
exceptional auction integrity. Please do all your homework prior bidding. Please do not bid on this auction unless you are serious about owing this car. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping. |

Fiat reconsidering Mazda-based Alfa Romeo roadster? [w/poll]
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Alfa giveth and Alfa taketh away. With apologies to Job (he has gone through a lot, after all), that's how things are looking at the Italian automaker - whether it's the promise of new products or its impending return to the North American market. But it's especially true when it comes to new roadsters.
While Alfa Romeo is expected to unveil the 4C Spider at the Geneva Motor Show this week, reports are now suggesting that its other roadster project is being called into question. That project is a joint venture between Fiat and Mazda, which was set to produce a version of its next MX-5 Miata as an Alfa Romeo, and was even changing the design to accommodate Alfa's requirements.
Now it appears, however, that the whole project in doubt. The problem seems to stem from Sergio Marchionne's pronouncements that, as long as he's in charge, there won't be an Alfa Romeo built outside of Italy.
Audi rumored to buy Alfa Romeo, officials deny it
Thu, 28 Mar 2013For more than two years, Volkswagen has been making public statements about its willingness to buy Alfa Romeo and quadruple the Italian brand's sales, and for just as long, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has replied with some version of "Mr. Piëch, drop it." According to a report in Ward's Auto, all that jousting might be over: it claims that sources close to both Marchionne and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler admit that the two are in talks for Audi to buy not just Alfa Romeo, but a production plant in Italy. In fact, a final deal could possibly include partsmaker Magnetti Marelli.
Against that backdrop, a report by German news weekly Stern quotes a Fiat spokesmen as saying it doesn't comment on rumors and an Audi rep has said flatly that "There is no substance in the news." If a sale is being arranged, the timing would seem to point to how eager Fiat is to raise cash to complete its major initiatives. Even though Alfa Romeo continues to delay its return to the US, it just showed off the production version of the 4C at the Geneva Motor Show (shown above) and said that preferred Fiat dealerships here would get them. Then there's Alfa's recently concluded deal with Mazda to develop a roadster based on the next generation MX-5 Miata - a deal that would seem to help both the Italian and Japanese brands.
The monetary issues are troublesome, though. Fiat is taking a beating in the European market and its weak-kneed balance sheet is delaying gotta-have-it products like the Jeep Cherokee. Fiat has been talking to banks about getting money to buy the rest of Chrysler and those financial institutions have also raised issues about debt and cash reserves, and the nasty game of chess Fiat is playing with the United Auto Workers (and now the court system about the portion of Chrysler it doesn't own) could end up blowing another hole in Marchionne's plans. It is possible that this could finally have convinced Fiat to at least see how serious Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, is about buying Alfa Romeo. Or it could be just another rumor.
Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models
Wed, 02 Oct 2013According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.
