First year 'coda tronca' kamm tail 1971 Alfa Spider in infamous Alfa color.  Known history, VERY well taken care of its entire life, always garaged, the result is an amazing original car with EXCELLENT patina.  I acquired this car and set out to do a complete restoration as the originality is very much intact.  For example, literally ALL interior pieces are without flaws,  no rips in the rubber floor mats, or most any interior parts for that matter, panels, apron, ALL EXCELLENT, even original seat belts and lighter!...with the exception of the dash, cracked like so many.  I will include a perfect condition dash 'cap' to clean it right up.  I did have the seats redone beautifully in supple leather.  I know, meant to be vinyl, but take the deduction and go leather!  The pictures show the quality.


Last year I paid to have the car (covered truck) trucked to Santos Foreign in Northridge, CA and instructed a blank check mechanical rebuild to make this spider a dependable, safe, usable car.  Doesn't mean I daily drive it, but I could.  In fact I have only put on dry summer miles in and around Lake Tahoe on rare occasions...it drives superbly.  I will include a copy of the build sheet so you can see all the important and expensive work that was done.  (nearly $8k spent in the past year in improvements).  The NEW tranny shifts like butter, so sweet!

These '71 year spider's are the last and ONLY year the peppy high revving 1750 motor was still standard.  These cars are a 'cant miss' future collectible and are yet to see the real appreciation of their older round tail cousins, but it is about now that these cars make a prudent buyer happy!  I am offering two fantastic Alfa Spiders presently, also available, the LAST year of the gorgeous series 2 spider's, check my other items.  

I am an avid collector/lover of Alfa Spiders, and these are my personal cars from my private collection, so see who you are buying from.  I spare no expense while cars are in my possession to make them the best they can be.  I hate to part with these, but am on to other car related activities, so pay serious attention to these offerings if you are seeking a fun vintage collectible Italian convertible!

Hit the buy it now, and I will throw in a set of period correct aftermarket wheels.  YOU CHOOSE the style.  I have set up photos of two uber rare period correct styles....Ruspa's or Oscam's (both Italian boutique wheel company's) and keep the ones on there of course too.. These can go for up to $1,500. a set, so good value added!  

This spider is going to need a fresh paint down the road, but is an attractive rust free 'driver' at present.  Those fugly side protector strips look ungainly, but when cosmetic respray comes, DEFINITELY REMOVE THEM.  For now offering excellent protection.  

The mileage is a baffler...some have speculated original miles.  I do know the previous 2 owners (representing nearly all of its life) barely drove it and wear and tear on the inside reflects the low miles from new?

Leno samples Corvette Z06, steam cars, supercars and the wonders of Pebble Beach

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

While Jay Leno's Garage was conceived to highlight the wonders of The Big Chin's eponymous storage facility, Leno does occasionally get out an into the larger world. Pebble Beach and the festivities around Monterey recently provided a great excuse for a road trip, and Leno seemingly had a pretty full dance card.
In an episode aptly dubbed The Ultimate Car Week, our host takes us through a pretty representative selection of great things to see in and around Pebble. Starting with a ride-along in a steam car, Jay manages to check in on the latest McLaren supercar and drive the Alfa Romeo 4C along the way. Oh, and he takes a good look at the all-new Corvette Z06 (next to the original Z06) before hitting the Concourse d'Elegance, too.

Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.
