I have for sale a 1991 Alfa 164S with a 5 speed Manual Transmission and 74,530 miles on the Odo. According to the previous owner the paint Job is only 3 years old but it's holding up well with only the odd stone chip here and there. The car sits on 16 x 6.5 inch Rims with 205 50 16 Tires (there are a few cracks in a couple of tires the beginning stage of dry rot). The po did not see fit to keep proper service records so I did my own service. I replaced the Timing Belt and Manual Tensioner (Water Pump looked fairly new so I left it alone), I installed a New Clutch Master Cylinder, Small Dog Bone Bushing and New Battery (old Battery was weak because car lived a pampered life in a garage and was rarely driven). Bosch Spark Plugs looked fairly new so they were cleaned and reinstalled. A/C blows cold and radio has a CD Player in trunk. Interior Leather is clean with no rips.
Carfax Report states it was in a rear end accident. According to the po the accident was minor with only the rear bumper getting scratched. No structural damage. Bumper was replaced by insurance company.
I bought this Red S to compliment my Black S but within a week of purchase an opportunity arose to purchase my dream car so now it has to go. I have owned it now about 4 weeks.
This vehicle is sold as is with no warranty expressed or implied.

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.
Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models
Wed, 02 Oct 2013According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.
Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
