This is a 1989 Alfa Romeo Milano Verde with the same owner since 1995 to the present. It has been maintained by renowned Alfa specialist Besic Motorsports since at least 1995 and possibly before. It starts, runs, and handles great in spite of it's outward appearance. Everything but everything works as it should. It pulls very hard as the 3.0 verde motor feels much younger than the miles would indicate. It still has lots of miles left at this rate. The body is in overall very good condition lacking the rust that most of these have by this point. The drivers outer door is the worst part. The floors, trunk, and frame are solid. The clear coat on the hood is coming off but that's the extent of the paint issues. The rest of it is just 26 year old patina. The exterior panel fit is excellent and all doors and trunk open and close very smoothly. This car has never been in an accident that I know of and it shows. The interior is obviously worn from use and enjoyment, but the seat cushions, bolsters, backs and bottoms are all still properly shaped and formed. The foam isn't deformed or flaking like it tends to do from abuse. You could either re-cover them in a similar material or go to leather, vinyl, etc. and it would look great. The instrument cluster, dashboard, overhead console, and rear speaker deck are all complete and in very good condition. All of the controls including buttons and switches are all there. Mechanically, it runs, sounds, and shifts great. The clutch still has a lot of life in it and the gears and synchros all work fine. The brakes stop it ok but should be gone through if you were going to drive it daily. The wheels are a low production special order and period correct but I'm not sure if original to the car. They've been on it for quite a while. The tires have about half life left but are a mismatched set with the rear pair being snows. I've tried to describe the car accurately, but questions and inspections are welcome and encouraged. The reserve is set very low, about what you'd pay for a set of wheels and tires. The car is in Glen Ellyn Illinois and can be seen with some notice. Please ask any and all questions BEFORE bidding. Thanks *** $250 PayPal deposit due within 24 hours of auction end.

I have had the car since 1995 when it had 30k miles and have never had a problem with the odometer. To my knowledge, it had never been replaced, It always worked properly and it works properly now. You can see the progression of miles is correct and progressive. All I can think of is I checked the wrong box when I originally titled it in 1995. I have the clear title in hand. Thanks.
