1975 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce Convertible on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
The car features a new top, new tires, original manuals and books, factory tool kit, bra. This Alfa has the desirable instrument cluster, the rare wheels and a beautiful wood steering wheel. The odometer reads just over 105,000. Runs and drives great! Prefers to go fast and handles well. The body looks good from 10 feet; up close has a few scratches in the paint. The original rear bumper is intact, but needs to be replaced for cosmetic reasons. An Alfa mechanic who specializes in nothing but Alfa's recently went over the car from top to bottom. He has repaired and replaced everything it needed to be a great running, driving, super fun car. Replaced was the clutch master cylinder, fuel tank sender, clutch slave cylinder, rear brakes calipers and hoses, front brakes, rear suspension T-bar and trailing arm bushings, new exhaust system with 74 style manifold for less restriction and more power, front spring plates, replaced drive shaft U-joints and more. All of the invoices for the work done (almost $6,000 total) will be included in the sale. Purchased from original owner and over $10,000 invested in the car. Moving and can't take it with, my loss is your gain! Car is "as is" condition. Buyer to arrange shipping or collection (located Chicago) by Oct 1. Payment by certified check, money order or cash. Drive it home! |

Leno samples Corvette Z06, steam cars, supercars and the wonders of Pebble Beach
Fri, 12 Sep 2014While Jay Leno's Garage was conceived to highlight the wonders of The Big Chin's eponymous storage facility, Leno does occasionally get out an into the larger world. Pebble Beach and the festivities around Monterey recently provided a great excuse for a road trip, and Leno seemingly had a pretty full dance card.
In an episode aptly dubbed The Ultimate Car Week, our host takes us through a pretty representative selection of great things to see in and around Pebble. Starting with a ride-along in a steam car, Jay manages to check in on the latest McLaren supercar and drive the Alfa Romeo 4C along the way. Oh, and he takes a good look at the all-new Corvette Z06 (next to the original Z06) before hitting the Concourse d'Elegance, too.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

Next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata mule spied 'Ring testing
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Fans of simple, lightweight motoring, rejoice - we now have images of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata undergoing testing at der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, to be fair, this isn't some lightly camouflaged example that will give us a great peak of what the next Miata, which will also become the next Alfa Romeo Spider, will look like. This is a mule, with the new bits hidden under a current Miata's body. That doesn't mean there aren't a few scraps of valuable information here, though.
According to our flock of camera-toting spies at the Nürburgring, the next Miata is likely to grow a bit, as new models are wont to do. In particular, it will be longer and wider, and the wheelbase is likely going to be stretched, based on the shape of the wheel wells and doors. Both of those factors will add more space in the cabin.
Those are the big indications provided by these photos, but while the MX-5 might be growing, it's a safe bet based on these images that it, and the (likely pricier) Alfa, will retain the classic, long-hood, short-deck styling that so typifies rear-drive roadsters.
