I recently purchased a 1985 Spider which I want to turn my attention to so I decieded to sell my  very nice 1988 Alfa Spider Veloce.  Its been a daily driver for the last year. The engine runs great with a strong clutch and good brakes. The tranny is smooth with no  problems. Tires are new 2 months ago Falcon 195/65. Good spare with jack and tool. The paint is recent and the correct color code 370 Medium Blue Metallic It is not a high end job but the car looks very nice as you can see in the pics. Interior is in good shape, but not perfect and is about right for the mileage. The top is  old and in fair shape and useable, but probably the next step in an upgrade for the car. A new cloth top on Ebay is about $400 for the do it yourselfer. The tach works, but the speedo does not although the odometer works. I replaced the cable but that didn't solve the problem. The volt meter reads under 12v when running, but a check with the multimeter indicates alt is putting out 13.5 v. The battery is new last year and I've never had a battery problem. Alpine stereo/CD player. Power windows work, power mirrors do not. The dash has the typical crack as found in almost every Spider  I've seen. Headlights, parking lights, stop lights work, but the turn signals stopped working about a month ago. I replaced the relay but that didn't correct the problem so that is an issue that will need attention. The original passive restraint seatbelts were removed and replaced with shoulder type belts prior to me owning the car. When I bought the car about 2 years ago there was some rocker panel rust (not bad) which I repaired with fiberglass and bondo. It has held up well and I not had any recurring issues. The trunk is clean and solid with no rust. Air conditioner fan works but does not blow cold. I've tried to describe the car as best I can and as you can see it is not perfect, but a great driving car for the enthusiast with minor issues that can be worked on as you enjoy he car. i can't think of any other issues, but feel free to ask any questions. I might consider a partial trade like an Alfa 164 or other classic. No Reserve. I'm also going to list this locally. thanks for looking.

Chrysler appoints new heads of Alfa Romeo and Ram

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

Chrysler has announced to two key appointments to its senior leadership, both of them taking immediate effect. First up is Reid Bigland, who has been named head of the Alfa Romeo brand for North America. Bigland has served until now as head of the Ram Truck brand, a portfolio he now hands over to Robert Hegbloom, who had served until now as its director.
As a result of the appointments, both Bigland and Hegbloom will take up seats on Chrysler's NAFTA Leadership Team, and Bigland will also join the Fiat Chrysler Group Executive Council - the highest decision-making body in the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire.
As per Sergio Marchionne's leadership style, Bigland will continue to serve in two major capacities, maintaining his role as president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Other senior executives who hold multiple key portfolios include Harald Wester (who serves as the group's Chief Technology Officer and also overseas Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Abarth), Olivier Francois (group Chief Marketing Officer and head of the Fiat brand) and Michael Manley (head of the Asia-Pacific region and the Jeep brand).

Share price falls on skepticism of Chrysler-Fiat five-year plan

Thu, 08 May 2014

Following 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.
