1989 Alfa Romeo Spider, Quadrifoglio. 78K original miles. Straight, new top, excellent mechanicals, new water pump, alternator, etc. Runs and drives great. New Sony MP3 player.The late Alfa Spiders were superb, fun, harmless cars. They were very reliable as they were equipped with Bosch fuel injection and bosch electrics. They also got good mileage, and had a large trunk, which meant you could easily travel with them. The top can be one-handed and dropped while driving, or pulled up in sudden rainstorms. Big fun. 1989 was the last year for the Quad, which featured leather seats and slightly different trim level. This car is intact, and rust free California car. The hood and trunk need to be spot painted, but thats normal. Nice, solid hard to find example of a cheap fun, and very different ride. Pavarotti CD included. They run better that way.

1982 Alfa Romeo GTV6, California car, second owner. I have owned this car for 22 years, and it has been the best car I have ever owned. It was a second, weekend driver. I bought it from the original owner in 1992 in Cupertino. One of the best Bay Area Alfa shops, Richard Oliver at Continental Motors took it out of storage and suggested to me that these cars were far, far higher in front ride height than they were designed for, to meet Federal minimum bumper height laws. The best thing I did was have it lowered back to its original European ride height which is about 4" lower. I then added Koni gas shocks, and it drove beautifully. The ZF steering box and torsion bar suspension is fabulous for twisty roads, and the faster you go on the freeway the more downforce there is on the front end, the way it was supposed to be. Without lowering these cars float like hell at speed and hobby horse under braking. The GTV6s were so underpowered very few of them sold. They cost more than a 911 SC when new, and wouldn't get out of their own way. Similar to the Acura NSX, they were just helpless. Again, Richard Oliver suggested porting the heads and installing S cams from Alfa. 1.5K later and a shoe box of aluminum from the exhaust ports the car was totally different. All of a sudden it pulled hard from 3300 to red line and with the Autostrada final drive ration would pull 95 easily in third gear, a real crowd pleaser here in Freewaylandia. It runs at 80-90 around 3300, and is very quiet. Alfa designed these as fast comfortable cars for road trips, the Autostrada and the Autobahn, where running at 110 is normal. This car was geared for that at 3:90 but lacked the power to run at speed easily. It does that now, and then some. It does not have the torque of a 3.0, but I did make several runs at getting one. The key word here is comfortable. Alfa managed to find front seats that were not only horrendous, but dangerously slippery. I actually almost fell out of it one day leaning on the drivers door in a turn. Those seats went into a dumpster behind Apple HQ, and I installed two fantastic seats from a Mitsubishi Starion, with full clam shells, thigh supports, and adjustable head rests. Now the car is superbly comfortable on the five hour run from LA to SF on the Gestapo infested 5. Here is condition: Daily driver condition, small dings and scratches. Painted 10 years ago, with Mercedes Silver paint. Two small rust bubble areas, normal even in California. Never been hit or pranged, no undercarriage rust. Driveline has been carefully maintained, good guibos, good clutch, good transmission, rear end. Brakes 60%, fairly recent water pump and timing belt, valves checked, 85% Bridgestone tires, needs drivers' side mirror, headlight switch. This car will humiliate any stock GTV6, and out handle any of them that have not been set up this way. It is currently registered in Arizona, the land of the wrinkled Nazi, but it will smog in CA. Runs and drives great. Needs minor body work, a nice paint job, and someone who wants to drive something unique, reliable, fast, and fun. It still looks nice, the wheels are all original and un molested and it gets the tourists back on the sidewalk. Save 4K and a lot of time getting a stock one right. Buy this one.
