I bought this car in 2001, and have since put 34K miles on it, for a current mileage of 123K and change. During that time, I have done the following: Brakes: Complete, including hydraulics, hoses and rotors. Suspension: Front, all. Rear is OK. Shocks: All. Clutch: Complete, including hydraulics and hoses. Starter Alternator Gear Box: Alfa Italia of Burbank went through it about 2K miles ago, and did the synchros, etc… Drive-shaft support bearing and u-joints. Engine and transmission mounts Cooling: Belts, hoses, radiator, fan, shroud. Distributor Ignition wires, plugs, etc… A/C: Had it converted to R134. Still worthless, after cooling for a couple of summers. Tires Battery Instrument cluster: Had the tachometer and speedometer recalibrated after getting a ticket. Speedometer cable Soft top: Original canvas material. Door seals Seats: Redone in black leather and original stitch pattern. Carpeting: All new, including the trunk. Nardi wheel Dash cap Oxygen sensor: Passed smog this year with no problems. Exhaust: Front to back, complete and original. Blaupunkt stereo/CD and 4 new speakers. I probably forgot a few things, but I have every single receipt which will go to the new owner. The car starts and runs flawlessly, shifts, handles and stops as it should. It is always garaged. The paint is NOT perfect, but acceptable. It might have had a re-spray sometime in the distant past. The engine might have been reconditioned, I don’t know. The body has no rust whatsoever. It’s a CA car, always garaged. The compression is even on all 4 cylinders, and the dynamometer test shows an output of 95 BHP at the rear wheels (I have the paperwork), which is factory spec. Oil consumption is ZERO, but of course it leaks a bit (or marks its spot, depending on how much you like Alfas). The passenger side door lock does not work with the key. It spins, so the cylinder is probably in need of replacement. The windshield has a couple of rock chips. The above description is as complete and accurate as I can make it, but feel free to ask questions. I would love to keep the car except that I am running out of room. The car is located in southern California. I am willing to assist in shipping. It is time for someone else to enjoy it. The reserve price is about 1/3 of what I have in it. Serious bidders only please!
