1981 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce - Excellent Condition, 25 Years Of All Records on 2040-cars
Auburn, Washington, United States
1981 Alfa Romeo Veloce Spider Convertible -- 25 Years of Complete Service Records Included --
VIN: ZARBA5415B1012184
Here’s a nice Alfa Spider Veloce
Convertible we’ve acquired and can now offer our great Ebay customers. I’m
always on the lookout for lower-milege, unusual vehicles and really hit the
mark with this one! It was purchased new
here locally at Alfa of Tacoma in November, 1981 and has remained in the Puget
Sound area since. There is NO history of any accidents, title brands for salvage, flood
damage, rebuild or any other nasty negatives to cause concern. Please
contact me with any questions or to make an offer before the auction ends. My direct phone number is 206/914-1173 and my
name is Mark Thompson. You’re welcome and encouraged to make an
appointment during business hours to inspect this great little roadster.
I’ll be sure to include all the original factory books and complete, detailed service records with the title. From those records the following is some of the major work that’s been done and parts replaced. These receipts begin in August, 1989 and run through this month, exceeding $10,200 in total. Just some of them include:
Clutch replacement at 69,700 miles, catalytic converter at 78K, Brake Booster replaced at 86,400 Miles, fuel injection pump at 103K, the Cylinder Head completely rebuilt at 110,200 miles, New water pump, Fuel lines & Pinion seal at 117,400 miles, New suspension springs at 124,750 miles, another catalytic converter at 128,300 miles The starter motor was replaced at 133,365. Both the in-tank primer pump and main fuel pump were replaced and the gas tank flushed & sealed at 134,400 miles this past month. Major service (totaling $1,133) done within the last 50 miles.
Because I’m always asked, “Veloce” designates the middle of the model line for the Alfa Spider. The base model is the Spartan “Graduate” with vinyl seats and no extras (the “Veloce” has nicer leather seats). Top-of-the-line is the “Quadrifoglio” with the green four leaf clover insignia.
Hop in, fire her up and the
2000cc 4-cylinder injected engine starts almost instantly, even when cold, with
just a little feathering of the manual choke.
I took the car out a few days ago for these photos and cruised at 60 MPH
for about twenty miles. What a difference having that fifth transmission gear
makes - no grinding into second gear as you’ll find on many Alfas.! Nice,
strong clutch too! A black fabric
convertible top is fitted and is in good shape however the top bow just above
the rear window has come unriveted and needs to be re-installed. A black steel rollbar has also been fitted
for safety. There is no noticeable body
rust, just a few bubbles along the bottom edge that have been there for some years. All the glass is in great shape. The factory color red paint is clear and
bright, still holding quite a shine! The
14” factory Campagnolo wheels are all straight
and true, and the four Dunlop N60 radials appear to be at least 70%. Take
another good look at my interior photos. The black leather upholstery is
in excellent condition. I find no cracks or wear-through spots in the
leather. I’m sure the carpets are original
as well and are still very clean, having always been protected with factory
mats that I’ll be sure to include. NO cracks to the dashtop at all! As pictured, both door panels are great with
no rips, tears or scuff points. Both electric
windows function as they should. I want
you to BID WITH CONFIDENCE and know that you are purchasing a nice car, however,
please don’t be upset if I miss a few minor flaws or you are required to spend
money on an unforeseen problem! No used car is ever perfect. I want
you to be happy with your purchase (and with me) and that really is my main
goal! As outlined above, please contact me with any questions. My direct phone number is 206/914-1173 and my name is Mark Thompson. You’re welcome and encouraged to make an appointment to stop by and inspect, drive and make an offer. If you’re thinking of bidding on a comparable MG or Triumph of similar vintage, you really owe it to yourself to look over this car first! A Few Additional Terms and Conditions: Please check the photos over closely and call with any questions BEFORE you place a bid! You’re encouraged to inspect the vehicle at our premises on weekdays, so send your representative early to be sure you don't miss this one. We reserve the right to cancel your bid if you have any negative feedback. DEALERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO BID AS WELL! Additionally I reserve the right to end the auction early if the Alfa is no longer for sale because we’ve
We’re
always very happy to work with any shipper you choose, but you’re also welcome
to do what many of our past buyers from as far away as Alaska, Arizona, the
Midwest, Canada, Florida, New York and even the Mexican Baja have done – fly in
here to Seattle (we’ll pick you up at Sea-Tac International just a few miles
away) and then start a road trip home the same day! I wouldn’t hesitate to
drive long-distance in this Benz! As a
respected Ebay seller with many, many satisfied online buyers, I want you to
bid with confidence knowing that the Mercedes runs and drives out as it should
AND that it is being properly represented to you! Please don’t be upset if I miss a minor flaw
or some small issue comes up on the car.
NO used vehicle is ever perfect.
Having said that, I won’t hesitate to drive cross-country in it today! A Few Additional Terms and Conditions: A nonrefundable $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of the auction’s end. We can accept PAYPAL, but only for the deposit amount because of the high fees they charge. The balance is due by cash or certified funds within seven business days unless prior arrangements have been made with me. Please remember you are bidding to buy and I fully expect the winning bidder to fulfill their Ebay contract! You’re not bidding to hold or then come inspect and test-drive the vehicle later -- You’re more than welcome to do this before the auction ends.
If you do decide to have the car shipped home, there are numerous vehicle transport companies to choose from. We ship vehicles regularly and I'd suggest that you get a transport bid from Dependable Auto Shippers (DAS). They're Ebay’s preferred transporter and will give you a fair quote. Call my designated rep, Janice, directly at (469)587-5096. Give her my affiliate number (2362642) and she can pull up all our information for door-to-door or even station-to-station prices. As an alternative, you might also get bids from the U-Ship.com website you’ll be able to choose a transport broker from multiple offers. The zip code for pick-up would be 98002 (Auburn, Washington). The shipping of the vehicle and company chosen are the responsibility of the BUYER. |

Share price falls on skepticism of Chrysler-Fiat five-year plan
Thu, 08 May 2014Following this week's Fiat Chrysler extravaganza, where the Italian-American manufacturer announced its plans for the next five years, the Autoblog staff was cautiously optimistic of the company's future. Investors? Not so much.
Fiat saw its shares tumble 12 percent in Wednesday's trading, falling from 8.67 euros ($12.06 at today's rates) to 7.44 euros ($10.35) as of this writing, with blame partly going to the Italian half of the FCA marriage, which recorded a pretty significant drop in profits during the first quarter of this year.
The plan, which will cost around $77 billion over the next several years, is facing criticism from investors thanks in part to a 1.4-percent drop in Fiat's first-quarter profits, to 622 million euros ($862 million). That figure is also short of Bloomberg analysts' projections, which predicted $1.18 billion in profits before taxes, interest and one-time items.
Next Mazda MX-5 Miata headed for 2015 Chicago debut
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Twenty-six years after it was introduced at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the much anticipated fourth generation Mazda MX-5 Miata will meet the press at the 2015 Chicago show. A piece in Autocar refines some of the details on the larger, lighter Miata that a Mazda insider has said will be "our best-looking car ever."
The company has relented on the quest for the metric tonne, the 1000-kilogram (2,200-pound) target too difficult to achieve in light of cost constraints. You can still expect it to lose a generous dollop of weight - Autocar says a curb weight of 1,100 kg (2,420 pounds) will still make it the lightest in its class. And Mazda will be stressing a fun driving experience through light weight and a modest amount of naturally-aspirated horsepower. Engine capacities of 1.5 and 2.0 liters are expected. Sounds familiar (and good), right?
The Miata's interpretation of Kodo design will be veer from that found on the Mazda3 and Mazda6, with "very clean and simple" lines marking out "more muscular proportions" and elongated bodywork on a longer wheelbase. A stretched engine bay will make room for the current Skyactiv engine and perhaps the future Skyactiv 2 powerplants, initial reports suggesting there could be a 30-percent increase in fuel economy from the moment it arrives.
