1972 Alfa Romeo Gtv on 2040-cars
Gervais, Oregon, United States
|
This car is beautiful and drives great, right NOW. It is NOT perfect so let's get that out of the way now. It has an Oregon branded title. The branded title is the results of body damage at a time when the value of GTVs were low, The cost of repair exceeded the cars value at the time of damage. This was the fate of many Alfas just 10 to 15 years ago. The owner at the time took what the insurance company paid and his own money and had the car repaired properly. As near as I can tell the nose and part of the right front fender were replaced. There is evidence of floor repairs and currently the floors are without rust. The overall condition of the body of the car is near perfect with some small surface rust bubbles near the right rear window just below the pillar badge. There is a windshield scratch on the passengers side that can be polished out. The side marker lights and bumper uprights have been remove for better cosmetics. There is a small area, about an inch, on the top of the rear seat that needs repair. Other than this the car is ready to drive now. Get in, start it and drive away.
Current top price for a perfect GTV is $35,000. This in not a perfect car but looks and drives like one. You can own it for far less than $35,000 and drive it the day it arrives at your house. You will of course have responsibility for transportation. This car is has red performance springs and Koni shocks on all four corners. The following work was completed on Tuesday January 28, 2014: Replace clutch slave cylinder and hose, fuel tank filter, all fuel hoses, fuel pump, battery, points..spark plugs..distributor cap..distributor rotor..condenser, coolant bleeder, anti-freeze, gear oil trans and diff, brake fluid, clutch fluid, 1-4 exhaust manifold, engine oil and filter. The following services were performed: Replace radiator filler flange and service radiator, rebuild wiper motor and wiper mechanism, Replace main wire on Alternator, repair backup light and left rear tail lights. 4 NEW TIRES! I did not mention the Transmission because there is nothing to say except that it is smooth as glass. I would buy this car myself (I'm selling this car for a friend who is eBay challenged) but I already have 4 GTVs and one is burgundy. All recent work was performed by Veloce Motors in Oregon by a 1973 factory trained certified Alfa mechanic. Please read the description before asking questions. This is an auction and WILL take place on eBay and not on the phone. I will be glad to talk to the winner on the phone at the end of the Auction. |

Marchionne threatens to move Alfa production out of Italy
Fri, 12 Jul 2013Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne was unsurprisingly frank when asked by reporters about potential investments in Italian manufacturing for Alfa Romeo and Maserati, giving the Italian government the ultimatum, "Italy should decide if they want [Alfa Romeo's relaunch] to happen here or not as Fiat and Chrysler have several alternatives." Them's fightin' words.
Fiat's issue with the government stems directly from its courtroom clashes with the Fiom labor union. The two are currently embroiled in proceedings over longer shifts and shorter breaks, as Fiom has so far refused to sign a new contract citing revised labor laws that it says are anti-union.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat will be spending over $2.5 billion on development of eight new Alfas and six new Maseratis, in a bid to wrest some of the luxury pie away from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. But that's only going to happen if the government is willing to play ball and make life easier on Fiat.
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.
Marchionne offers belated apology for 'wop engine' comment
Wed, 22 May 2013Automotive News reports Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has issued a written apology for his comments regarding his decision to stick with an Italian engine for the upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C. As you may recall, back in January, Marchionne was quoted as saying, "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it has to be a wop engine." The CEO penned an apology to the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition for using the racial epithet, saying that he made the comment in jest. Marchionne also said he realizes his remarks were unacceptable.
ONE VOICE, an organization aimed at fighting discrimination and stereotyping of Italian Americans, thanked Marchionne, Chrysler and Fiat for the apology. Marchionne is an Italian-born Canadian citizen, and he's gotten in trouble for other comments in the past. In 2011, he called high interest rates Chrysler was paying to the Canadian government "shyster rates." He apologized a day later.
