Alfa Romeo Spider 1976 With Dual Webers on 2040-cars
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
|
Selling this 1976 Alfa spider for a friend, no reserve auction. This is his description… I purchased the car May 2010 and drove it home from Smyrna, Georgia. The car had never been in a collision, but had its share of dings and one repaint other than the factory. I stripped the car to bare metal, welded in a few patches, welded up the side marker holes, (Euro look!) body worked the car, painted it a year ago, with a new clear coat I had never used, and had multiple runs, a couple of which did not block out, so a few of panels should to be repainted. That being said, the clear coat is now very hard and not wanting to buff easily. While it is disassembled it might be easier to wet block and repaint the entire car, otherwise it will be a chore buffing it. The vehicle comes without a battery. The only rust not repaired is the spare wheel tire well and you can see the piece to replace it that I am including. The car does have a BRAND NEW windshield, still has the sticker on it, and all the rubber brake lines are also brand new, It has a NEW set of tires that I put on it on it 6 months after buying it, that still have yet to see the road. It has dual Webers 40s, without a choke cable, but it does run and 2nd gear has the notorious grind. (typical but could be the slave cylinder) Keep in mind, I did drive the car home from Smyrna when I bought it, but since then one of the front calipers has seized up. It will move to load on a trailer but should not be driven until the caliper is fixed. Comes ‘as is’ and pick up is in Ellijay, Georgia. (about 75 minutes outside of Atlanta.) It was a complete car when it rolled in here and I have all the parts to make it complete once again. Sold with current registration and a notarized Bill of Sale. Thank you for looking. |

Marchionne to make Alfa Romeo a separate company within Fiat
Mon, 28 Apr 2014According to a report in Automotive News that quotes "people familiar with the matter," the next big play in Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne's plan for Alfa Romeo is to break it off from Fiat Group Automobiles and set it up as a separate company within the Fiat empire, giving it the same structure as Ferrari and Maserati. The idea, say the sources, is that a transparent, standalone Alfa Romeo that has to justify its every move could clearly prove its success in the public financial statements it would have to report, finally achieving Marchionne's aim of making Alfa Romeo "a credible business proposition."
That, of course, assumes that Alfa Romeo will make a success of it. The brand hasn't made a profit in any year of Marchionne's decade at the helm; sales last year fell to numbers not seen in almost half a century and its new product offensive might not include the two vehicles currently responsible for 99 percent of its sales. We're told that the brand's six new models will begin arriving in 2016 - a roadster, a midsize sedan and large sedan, a compact SUV and large SUV, and a large coupe.
Marchionne aims to expand Alfa's global appeal in several ways, the first by stressing that they are Italian products that 'belong' to Italy. This is the stance that appears to have put the kibosh on the roadster twinned with the coming Mazda MX-5/Miata. Alfa Romeos will all be made in their home country, and if they take off they'll help bandage Fiat's problem with underused plant capacity, a bugbear that is just as problematic culturally and politically as financially. Top-tier trims would use V6 engines developed by Ferrari, and global access would get a boost by selling Alfa Romeos in Jeep's 1,700 international dealerships.
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.
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.
