Hello everyone! This is a NO RESERVE auction!!
Dear ...
with reference to your request we are informing you as follows.
According to our documentation files, the chassis number AR 11541.0008425 originally corresponds to an Alfa Romeo Spider 2000 USA, manufactured on the 15th October 1979 and sold on the 30th October 1979 in USA.
The body colour is red.
Yours, Sincerely,
Marco Fazio
This Spider has been professionally converted to Dual Weber 40 DCOE Carburators that add to reliability and performance. In addition, this car was equipped with PC452 Street Performance Camshafts from Centerline. It is very quick and keeps pulling all the way to the top. I'm not sure of the top speed as the needle goes well beyond the speedometer's final marking. Facet electronic fuel pump with built-in fuel filter has been installed in the location of the stock unit. The car has 4 wheel disc brakes and a Limited Slip Differential. I also installed a new custom exhaust from the mid pipe back with catalytic delete.
Interior: It is in very good, almost excellent condition. The dash has NO cracks whatsoever as the car has been garage kept. Top is in excellent, near new shape with clear rear window. The top folds up and down with just one hand. Seats are in very good shape with no tears, few dirt spots which is typical for light colored convertible interiors. They recline, adjust and go back and forth on tracks perfectly. Carpets are factory original molded set in good shape. Trunk has the factory carpeting with an original battery cover.
Steering wheel wood and shifter are matching shades of wood and are very good. Center console is clean and tight. There's no radio but these cars sound so beautiful you would never use it anyway.
Body: I bought the car with minor rust in the right fender and a ding in the nose that was repaired at a professional shop in Pasadena, California with an excellent color tint and match. There are few nicks on the paint but the body is straight. Underside is dry and clean.
Tires are in almost new condition and are mounted on model correct Turbina wheels.
Electricals: All gauges are operational. All lights work, including side marker lights, hi/lo beams, turnsignals, etc. Interior turn signal indicator bulb burnt out. I checked the leads with a tester and all it needs is a replacement bulb. Wipers work on low and high.
This car does not overheat even in the LA traffic. It has been my daily driver and I tend to put over 70 miles per day. Car tracks straight. Brakes are good. Recent oil change using Valvoline Synthetic VR1 oil and K&N filter.
So, then why am I selling such a great Alfa Spider? I need something with more than just one passenger seat. As such, I am willing to let go of my Spider and find an early Berlina or Giulia. In fact, I am open to barter for a very clean one.
I am listing the car in auction format but also with BIN price. As a bonus for BIN buyer, I will include a 74 Serie 2 Spider complete but not running. The 74 comes with the highly desirable steel front and rear bumpers, factory exhaust header, earlier door trim panels and other trim items. It is mechanically complete as well and is rolling on Cromodora Daytona factory alloys. It has a straight body but with some rust. Overall its a restoration worth its while as the early Serie 2 Spiders are climbing in price or you can use the bumpers and the rest of the rare early pieces to complement the 79. The 74 is included at the BIN price ONLY.
Please note that this is 34 year old car and even though it looks and runs great it is not represented as new or as restored. Please feel free to ask any question or request additional photos. The car is listed on sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction at any time!
Special word to scammers: Please do not bother here. This is not my first sale over the internet so if you are not physically present, work on an oil rig, doubled over in a remote hospital or came into a fortune that you would need access to except without my help, please DON'T bother! I will pursue scams to the full extent that Ebay allows!

Autoblog Podcast #317:
Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
