Vehicle Detail
*** Please Read Everything Thoroughly *** ****** Just Converted A/C to modern R134A, blows Ice Cold See Picture ****** Don't let the miles fool you, this car has been remarkably maintained; it runs and drives excellently and there isn't a spec of rust anywhere top or bottom. Carfax and vin certified 1 owner California car. You will not find one in better condition regardless of miles. I brought it in from California to use as a driver and had Besic Motorsports perform the initial inspection then had Semeria Imports perform the work as Besic was 3 months back logged. The following is either brand new or very recent: - New Factory Front Seats (complete seats including motors, switches, rails, etc) - A/C converted to R134A, fully charged, Ice cold, no leaks anywhere - New battery - New front tires (Eagle GT) - New engine timing belt - New spark plugs - New radiator fan switch - New upper engine mounts - New shift linkage bushings - New brake pads front and rear - New engine belts (a/c, steering, alternator) - Fuel system cleaning - Trans fluid, Brake fluid, Pwr. steering, and coolant all flushed (using red line synthetics). - The rear bumper, side view mirrors, door frames, and door handles were stripped, re- painted, and clear coated (all now look new). - Performance shop alignment (tracks perfectly straight, steering wheel is dead even). In addition, all the glass is original factory with the Alfa mark on it. The paint is original but still gleams with minimal clear coat peeling. No leaks anywhere and I'm not having to add any fluids. Everything works including the original factory radio and power antenna. It accelerates hard and sounds great. It is rock solid and clamped down doing 100. Here are the issues I know of : The seems on the back seats connecting the center area to the left and right sides at the top are pulling apart and need to be re-stitched (see picture). The cruise doesn't work. Both front door checks sound when opening the doors but are very secure and the doors shut solidly. Sometimes the display shows that the right rear door is open (like in the picture) when it's not. It had a ground issue but I found and eliminated it; poorly installed battery cut off switch kept re-setting the system and blowing fuses. Had it removed, properly grounded the battery and no issues since. I've described the car to the best of my ability and taken the best pictures I could. As nice as the car drives and is, it's not perfect and it's not new. Please keep that in mind. Along with the car comes an inch thick file of records, vin history, wiring diagrams, etc, the original owners manual, 2 keys, the original working factory anti-theft remote fob, a very clean 5th full size factory wheel with nearly full tread Michelin, and a spare perfect rear bumper exhaust cut-out cover. I can't adequately describe how well this car drives for a 21 year old car or how confidence inspiring it is but the last picture should help indicate. I have other cars to jockey around and the wife isn't interested in helping. Cars need to be driven and I'd hate to see such a great example just sit and rot. I have other pictures available upon request. Please call or e-mail with any questions. Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early for the right offer. Viewing and test drives welcome with advanced notice.

Clutch goes in and out smoothly, is progressive, engages positively. Trans shifts very very smoothly, goes into every gear positively, and ABSOLUTELY NO SYNCHRO ISSUES in ANY GEAR.
