Vehicle Detail
1979 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce 2000 convertible. Daily driver for past 6 years. Had many parts replaced this past January just before I drove it from Las Vegas to where it is currently outside Portland, Oregon. Parts that were replaced include complete exhaust including catalytic converter from the manifold to the tailpipe, spark plug wires, plugs, distributor car, rotor & points, air filter, brake pads on all wheels, shocks, performance coil springs, rear window (Vegas sun had dried it out and cracked), fuel injection adjusted as well as timing. List of parts bought from International Auto Parts & installed: 63002Exhaust, Center Section, for a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider $93.5063007Exhaust, Rear Section, for a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider $76.9564101Gasket, Tailpipe Flange, for a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider $2.151003Brake Pads, Italian Metallic Front for ATE, for a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider $31.501004Brake Pads, Italian Metallic, Rear, for a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider $28.5061024Front & Rear Performance Spring Set, for a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider $234.0063312Catalytic Converter, for a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider $205.008617Distributor Cap, for a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider $18.509611Rotor, Ignition, for a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider $5.15 23037Spark Plug Wire Set, Includes 3 lengths of coil wire: 12, 19, & 34 inch., for a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider $31.95 67974 Drive Shaft Flex joint $33.95 1905Speedometer Cable, for a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider $19.50 4 Gabriel Shocks were purchased elsewhere for about $200.00 What it needs are new seat upholstery ( available for about $419 at international-auto.com), carpets are in pretty good shape for age as I always use mats, and I have a new speedo cable that I have yet to install as the speedo stopped working last year. It could also use a new radio and antenna as the radio works, but not the tape deck (I think it's original) and the plastic base of the rubber antenna has broken so it's not tightly mounted. It also has some rust coming through on the rocker panels below the doors. Also, both door locks are non-functional. I have the cylinders and key but have not fixed them as I never use them because it would be a waste of time to lock a convertible and then there's the fact the the replacing a top (cut to get in) would cost more than anything in the car. This has been a great car, getting about 25-30 mpg and fun to drive. Always get comments on it. Bought it on Ebay several years ago, flew to Ohio and drove it back to Vegas. I would have no problem hopping in it and driving cross country right now. Has always been reliable. Only selling it because I'm moving back east and have a 34' travel trailer that I have to pull with my truck. Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding. I can provide additional pictures on request.
