1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint 2.6l on 2040-cars
Englewood, Colorado, United States
Year: 1964 Engine: 2.6L Inline 6 Power: 145bhp with 3 Solex horizontal carburettors Chassis Number: AR*824633 Engine Number: AR00604*06472 Designed by: Bertone Very complete and original coupe Excellent restoration candidate Original CA Black Plate Based on the popular 2000 series line, Alfa Romeo introduced the upgraded version, the 2600, in 1961. Over the 7 year production, over 11,300 were produced in total including only 6,999 of the Sprint (coupe). The 2600 Sprint, being the new flagship of the Alfa lineup, was marketed towards enthusiasts of higher means and sold originally for over ?4,000 when a new Jaguar XK-E was just over ?2,000! The 2600 featured styling from some of the biggest names in Italy. The Sprint, designed by Bertone’s Giorgetto Giugiaro, was a Grand Tourer designed to compete directly against cars such as the Maserati 3500GT. With four large and comfortable seats, these cars were designed for sustained, high-speed touring. And with features like A/C, a capable 6-cylinder engine and 5-speed gearbox, these road-ready cars are a pleasure to drive. This particular car comes from a California Alfa collection and has been in dry storage for several years. This car comes nearly complete with interior, drivetrain (currently non-running), spare tire and even small bits like the original Carrello turn signal lamps and headlights! The car has solid jack points and a good, original body For ultra fast response, contact Steve today at 303.668.4555 for more information and pictures. Steadily appreciating on the market, these are the last of an iconic generation of Alfas. With the twin overhead cam alloy straight-6, inspiring design and unique market niche (amongst even other Alfas) these cars are a rare and beautiful part of automotive history.

Fiat Chrysler target 850k sales in China by 2018
Sun, 11 May 2014Behind the vanguard of numerous Jeep models, two Chryslers, a smattering of Fiats and Alfa Romeos and local production through a joint venture with Guangzhou Automotive Group (GAG), Fiat Chrysler wants to increase sales in China more than six-fold by 2018. The group sold 130,000 cars in China in 2013, the aim for 2018 being 850,000 cars.
Ultimately it's expected that the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Wrangler, Renegade, the coming Grand Wagoneer and a sub-Renegade-sized crossover will either be built in or exported to the People's Republic. The Chrysler Town & Country and 300 will join the export list in 2016 and 2018 respectively, according to a report in Automotive News.
With a number of those vehicles not in production or perhaps even envisaged yet, and others not due on the local market until 2018, it will be interesting to see how Fiat Chrysler plans to achieve the target in the specified timeframe. The joint venture with GAG builds two products now, the Dodge Dart-based Fiat Viaggio launched two years ago - supposedly designed just for China - and the just-launched Fiat Ottimo, a hatchback version of the Viaggio. Fiat projected 300,000 Viagio sales in its first two years, that number has been adjusted downward to 94,000 and there doesn't appear to be an analyst alive that sees a good future for Fiat in China's overrun mainstream market. Still, last year's 130,000 group sales in China is a huge jump from 2012 sales of 66,000 units, but less than half the 300,000 units it projected.
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.
