DESCRIPTION:
This rare survivor of an era of Alfas that are gone due to rust issues stands
proud and in unbelievable original condition. Just turning 100,000 miles this
non-sunroof model was probably saved by good 'ole Rusty Jones, meaning she was
undercoated by an independent company as a brand new car back when Alfa never
used undercoating.
The paint has been carefully preserved over the years and still shines nicely
with very few flaws. All of the glass and trim is in excellent condition. This
car has, for the last two decades, always been a weekend driver for club events
or a casual dinner. The ZF automatic transaxle works smoothly and without
hesitation.
The engine has had a cam inspection and valve adjustment, a Performance Ignition
system by RML, including new Lodge sparkplugs and Magnecor cables. The cooling
system has been serviced and fitted with all new hoses and German clamps. The
driveshaft was completely overhauled with all new flex discs and center support.
Completely reconditioned fuel system with new Bosch fuel pump, all new soft fuel
hoses, injection pump filter and belt, and a new thermostatic actuator.
The suspension is fitted with KONI adjustable shocks with new lower ball joints,
lowered to European specs with rare factory alloy wheels. The front brakes have
been converted to aluminum BREMBO calipers (Milano) with service wheel bearings
and new grease seals, and of course new pads (front and rear) and all new brake
hoses. The car has been fitted with factory a European header and a complete
factory non-catalytic exhaust including all new gaskets, hangers, and hardware.
This outstanding example has factory air conditioning that will crack your teeth
it's so cold!!! Don't be afraid of the automatic transaxle, it really is a
blast to drive even more so with the automatic. You won't find a nicer car
anywhere! All books and manuals included.
