Description:

1985 ALFA ROMEO ALFASUD SPRINT. I had to list as a 1979 Alfa because ebay does not recognize the VIN number.1.5 liter boxer engine. Two double Weber carburetor. 5 speed manual transmission. Odometer shows 58.500 kilometer , but I can not guarantee the milage. Everything works. Rust free body. The car has been repainted before I bought, and I believe it is not the original color. Recent tune up.
I imported the car from Europe. Now it has clear Florida title. The car can be titled and registered any state (maybe not in CA).
VERY RARE, MAYBE THE ONLY ONE IN THE USA.
It is a driver quality car, not a show car. Clear Autocheck history.
Left taillight has a smale hole, and some paint chip.
In February 1983 Alfa Romeo updated all of its sports cars; the Sprint received a major facelift.[8] Thereafter the Alfasud prefix and Veloce suffix were abandoned, and the car was known as
Alfa Romeo Sprint
; this also in view of the release of the Alfa Romeo 33, which a few months later replaced the Alfasud family hatchback. The Sprint also received a platform upgrade, which was now the same as that of the Alfa Romeo 33; this entailed modified front suspension, brakes mounted in the wheels instead of inboard like on the Alfasud, and drum brakes at the rear end.[1] Three models made up the Sprint range: 1.3 and 1.5, with engines and performance unchanged from the Alfasud Sprint Veloce, and the new
1.5 Quadrifoglio Verde
—1.5 Cloverleaf in the UK. A multitude of changes were involved in the stylistic refresh; there were a new grille, headlamps, wing mirrors, window surrounds and C-pillar ornaments. Bumpers went from chrome to plastic, and large plastic protective strips were added to the body sides; both sported coloured piping, which was grey for 1.3 cars, red for the 1.5 and green for the 1.5 Quadrifoglio. At the rear new trapezoidal tail light assemblies were pieced together with the license plate holder by a black plastic fascia, topped by an Alfa Romeo badge—never present on the Alfasud Sprint. In the cabin there were new seats with cloth seating surfaces and Texalfa backs, a new steering wheel and changes to elements of the dashboard and door panels. Sprint 1.3 and 1.5 came with steel wheels with black hubcaps from the Alfasud ti.
The newly introduced 1.5 Quadrifoglio Verde sport variant was shown at the March 1983 Geneva Motor Show.[9] Its engine was the 1, 490 cc carburated boxer, revised to put out 105 PS (77 kW; 104 hp) at 6, 000 rpm; front brake discs were vented and the gearing shorter. In addition to the green bumper piping, also specific to the Quadrifoglio were a green instead of chrome scudetto in the front grille, a rear spoiler and 8-hole grey painted alloy wheels with metric Michelin TRX 190/55 tyres. Inside a three-spoke leather-covered steering wheel, green carpets and sport seats in black cloth with green embroidery.
