1987 Alfa Romeo Milano Verde (3.0) for sale SOLD.

 

Serial # ZARDA124XH1050209

 

It is with mixed feelings that I am offering my Verde for sale.  On one hand it is one of the neatest cars I've ever owned, on the other hand it is largely redundant with my GTV6 (soon to be more so once the GTV6 gets it's 3.? conversion), plus I need to make room for another project.

 

Quick overview:

 

1987, black, Texas car, brought to Mass a few years ago (yes, the car is located in Mass), has never seen a winter here.  This car is completely rust free.  It has never had any rust, nor has it ever been in an accident (to the best of my knowledge).  It was repainted a few years ago, and while not a show car it is in very presentable condition.  The windows are tinted.  It has approximately 126k miles on it.

 

It has numerous engine and suspension mods, unless otherwise noted most of the work was done at approximately 88k miles by the ppo:

Plus many, many spares from another Verde I parted out (misc trim parts, ABS MC, headliner, ...).  The buyer of this car will also get first dibs on some of the Verde parts I might otherwise be selling separately (transaxle, doors, trunk lid, ...).

 

There are a couple of things that require attention, the AC compressor (I have a spare), the sunroof (it works fine, but a track on one side seems to be broken or mis-aligned).  Front drive shaft donut will need replacing.  The cassette portion of the radio doesn't stay engaged, and I need to reassemble and install the antenna.

 

I plan on doing some of this work (donut) but would prefer not to deal with the sunroof and AC.  All is negotiable, of course.

 

This car is relatively quick, with me (average driver) behind the wheel it did 1:08's at Lime Rock, .4 seconds behind an instructor driven Ferrari 308 (he was just as surprised as I was).

 

I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car *anywhere* in the country.  Delivery may also be an option, depending on when and where.

 

Asking price - $7,500 $7,000.  Negotiable, depending on how much of the remaining items I need to address, whether or not the buyer wants all the accessories or spares, etc.
