Well, if you haven't had the Alfa bug, here's a great way to get started... I'm listing this for a friend who is living a life that's too busy to raise an Alfa. These cars need love and attention, and he's smart enough to pass the baton before the car suffers.

All in all, no major issues noted, solid driver that you can drive as is or continue to improve it.

So, this auction is for a 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate, very solid car, runs as good or better than any Spider I have driven. ( I've owned many ). Loads of money spent over past couple years at Mastro Subaru ( previous Alfa dealer for years, they still service them for a few owners ) Receipts available with purchase, so you have some history. He has spent a good deal (read that over $8000) of money on the car to get it reliable. Seller is realistic about value.

This car runs great. Fires right up and runs smoothly, very good power, no smoking or odd motor noises, excellent correct recent bolt on exhaust ( not muffler shop stuff ) Very good clutch, works smoothly. Transmission has typical lazy synchros if you try to rush a shift. If you don't rush it, the car shifts fine. Very smooth on the highway. No issues with a long drive home if you want a top down adventure. Temps, charging, etc. all good. It runs well. Brakes are strong, the rears squeak sometimes, depending on the car's mood. This is common with Spiders.

So, the low down: There is no Spider I've ever seen without needs, but it's also almost 30 years old... Newer tires, excellent seats, just redone, carpet and original floor mats-(old but serviceable), New door panels, decent cloth top with very good, new & clear rear window. Updated radio with CD, USB and Aux input. Glove box door removed, it was warped and not replaced. The lights work, directionals work, trunk lamps and reverse lamps don't. It has a/c but it's not working, like most Alfas, it was anemic when it did. Dash has a cap on it. Driver's door mirror is in poor condition, it rattles. No visors.This car needs cosmetic TLC, the paint is an older repaint and it was painted with base coat / clear coat. The clear coat has failed on the top surfaces. There is an odd spot on the hood that looks easy to deal with. The body is straight and not rusty. Trunk is solid and the spare well is solid. I would have no issue driving the car any distance. I put 40 miles on it and it was happy to be on the road. These cars love/need to be used. The car started out in Virginia and spent some time in storage in New Mexico, then made the trip to Florida via truck to be put back on the road.

Please contact me with any questions so you are clear about what you are buying. I have a good contact for a truck if you want to have it transported.

Go ahead, your significant other will forgive you eventually!!! SOLD AS IS AND WHERE IS.

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years

Tue, 06 May 2014

Unless 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.
