The Alfa Thread

[LateFan]

had to comment to say this car is fucking glorious.

I had to ask the guy about those wheels, even though he doesn't supply them through Alfa9...

"The wheels in that photo are off of the Turbodelta Factory GTV's of the late 70's. Very wide (10 and 11x15) and require significant modifications to fit. They were originally made by Campagnolo, and are 5x98 bolt pattern. And yes, you are correct they are similar to the 33 wheels and inspired by them."

He also sent a link to these guys in Italy, who make some pretty damn cool wheels...

Can I join this thread with my Fiat Multipla from 1998? It has AlfaRomeo 1.9 JTD engine. Officialy and unofficially the ugliest automobile thruout the whole auto history. I own the brown one :D

That dashboard is insane!

I think with Alfa power you must qualify.

that car always makes me think it was rear ended

A clever body man should modify one so those lines are straight...while he's shaving those huge US bumpers.

It looks to me that body crease would line up with the black stripe in the center of the taillights if it went straight, instead of the top.

Power you say, where?

Even the Chinese mostly CKD copy changed the looks of something that looks like it should've been a Citroen.

Good point.

Enough of the ugly Fiats hahaha. How about a very nice Sprint for sale.

Lamborghini Islero.

Yes, $90K, and yes an Islero. Of all the Lamborghinis built the two that I actually like are the Muria and the Islero.

Here is a listing of Sprints and Spyders so you can kinda get an idea of the early cars. https://giuliettas.com/giulietta-giulia-models/.

Look at this crazy little wagon in there. Looks like a puppy. I want it.

I bet it would be cheap as well. Likely powered by a 1300, so perhaps not the biggest barn burner out there.

In other news, it sounds like Alfa Romeo USA will be doing a product launch at my work next week. Yes, I'll bring the camera to work.

I bet it's so rare it's worth a fortune. I've never even seen a pic of a wagon that old. And it looks like it's two-tone for bonus points!

YES, camera! (what could it be..?)
