/ Engine # AR1315*31123* (1958 SV)
Bought the car years
ago, I disassembled it and had it media blasted, and as a result, both defects
in the body and the history of the car were exposed . It also disclosed that
the car was in a collision affecting the nose and the right fender (the chassis
is straight).
Most (3/4) of the
nose and right fender were subsequently replaced but with work done by an
amateur, and now requires removal and replacement of some panels and adjustment
to the hood. I did replace the hood with one in better condition than the
original. I did apply a coat of primer for protection.
Rust is limited to the
floor of the battery compartment and the floor of the driver’s side; otherwise
it is generally rust free. The gap on the edge of the doors, trunk lid are
well fitted and the rest of the body fairly straight.
Over the years I have
had some of the chrome re-plated and restored the interior of the car and the
wheels. I have re-assembled the majority of all the parts to make sure
they were not lost so I could put the car for sale.
A few months ago I sent
the chassis/engine number to the Centro Storico in Milan to verify the origin.
Their reply was: The chassis number AR 1493 E 07487 corresponds originally
an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce light blue riviera, produced on Nov. 12, 1958 and on Nov. 26, 1958 sold to the Hoffman Motor Car Co., New York, USA. The number you have written does not match the engine original
equipment.
When I purchased the
car, the engine was already disassembled, and the condition unknown. Recently, I did have the engine inspected by a local machine shop specializing in Alfa
Romeo and minor work performed. The engine can be rebuild with no major issues
, and have done the following work on the engine:
Head: Re-surfaced 101.5mm
Crank: Polished, main 0.10 & rod 0.20
Rods:
match 4 brand new rods
Flywheel: Re-surfaced
The car came with 4
speed transmission (split case), but I am not sure if it is the original type.
The brake parts are disassembled and organized in a box with the other extra
parts not installed. Everything is stored in the car for single transportation
and the petrol tank should be replaced given the condition.
Missing: Headers, Marelli generator, air box, and windshield. Look closely at the pictures
and assess the condition and completeness. If you are interested, I have more
pictures and I will be glad to take others if you need to see more details.
On Oct-18-15 at 20:07:37 PDT, seller added the following information: I have a clear
California title in my name, and the car can be exported. International buyers
are welcome. Buyer must arrange for transportation and its cost.
