1969 Alfa Romeo Boat Tail Spider Project on 2040-cars
Tarrytown, New York, United States
|
This Spider underwent a complete professional metal restoration, including the floors and rockers. The body was stripped/prepped, and the doors, hood, trunk lid, and dash removed before painting in a spray boot seven years ago.
The only part left unpainted is the undercarriage, which is in epoxy primer. The car has been stored in a dry, heated garage ever since it was brought home from the body shop. Not much has been done to it other than installing the bumpers, some lights and the dash. Although the most difficulty work was painstakingly done, the car still needs a soft top, and brake, mechanical, suspension and interior work. As such, it may be of interest to those who prefer avoiding the time and expense of bringing a Duetto's body shell back to its original glory. The drive train has 78,564 miles. The engine turns freely by hand or with the starter if you apply 12 volts to the solenoid. The only parts missing include the exhaust system (front, center and rear muffler), the exhaust shield under the car, the metal shields for the clutch MC and brake MC, the metal brake lines to the rear proportioning valve and rear right caliper, the radiator plastic shroud, the factory tool kit, the soft top, and the interior rubber mats and carpeting. The following parts have been media blasted and primed or painted: front A-arms, rear trailing arms, front splash shields, heater box metal pieces, head light buckets, drive shafts, pedal assembly, and all the soft top frame pieces. New front A-arms and rear trailing arms bushing were installed along with new OEM front springs pans and rear axle limiting straps. The drive shafts received new u-joints and center bearing support. A new windshield made in England and a new windshield rubber gasket is included in the sale price. It is probably best to install these after taking care of the few cracks on the upper dashboard. Please note that the New York State DMV does not issue titles for 1972 and older vehicles. This Alfa Romeo will be sold with a certification of sale. I would prefer a cash transaction but can accept a check. However, you will have to wait until the balance shows in my account before you gain possession of the vehicle. I encourage any potential buyer to come see the car. I kindly ask those who showed interest in this car in the past but were unable to finalize its purchase to find another project. |

Just 45% of Fiat dealers are profitable, and they're angry about it
Mon, 07 Oct 2013<
On average, Fiat dealers have only been selling about 17 cars a month.
We've been wondering for some time how Fiat dealers in North America have been getting along with just one model range in their showrooms up until recently. Franchisees spent millions building, stocking and manning sleek new 'studio' showrooms, only to have but a single model to sell, the cherubic 500. And even with its many derivatives, the Cinquecento is still an inexpensive model with its attendant lower margins. Perhaps it should come as no surprise then, that just 45 percent of US Fiat dealers are said to be profitable.
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.
