Description of 1980 Alfa Romeo Other

A very nice example of a 1985 Italian Alfa 6 turbo diesel. Yes. I purchased this car recently with thoughts of enjoying it for some time being both an Alfa lover and a long time diesel driver. However. I have decided to sell as other things have my attention. I purchased this Alfa 6 from a gentleman that I have had the pleasure of buying another odd Alfa; a 1993 Alfa 33. from a few years ago. He is also an Alfa lover and has a very neat collection of rare European spec Alfas. The car does have a clear Washington State title. You may think you know what driving this mid size luxury turbo diesel sedan might feel like. I thought I did. But wow. the car is so smooth and comfortable. what a surprise! I drove the car 2 hours from Albany Ny to my home in Southern Vermont. Then my daughter and I drove it to Boston for an Alfa Owners New England lunch. Yup. it was the only 1985 Alfa 6 turbo diesel there! A note from the previous owner:There is absolutely no rust underneath the car. Even after sitting for a few weeks the car starts effortlessly on the first try. The transmission shifts without any grinding and the clutch is firm and not slipping. The brakes are good without any pulsating. Tires have approx. 4. 000 kilometers. The car has a very firm and stable ride and can easily keep up with the 85 mph traffic on LA's freeways. All lights and instruments work fine. Even the clock shows the proper time. It takes the tachometer a few minutes of driving before it starts working. The two front power windows work fine. the left rear is very slow and I never could get the right rear to work. The A/C was charged with R12 4 years ago and still blows ice cold. but because the cabin fan quit. cold air only comes in while the car is driving and the vents are open. I will include a spare fan and that should solve this problem. We took the car to the Concorso Italiano in Monterey in 2010 and had a blast driving it up there. The fuel mileage was about 33mpg. We did not have any problems with the car on this and many more trips. Lots of people looked at our car and very seasoned Alfisti told us that they never saw one before. Even the Alfa Romeo museum in Arese does not havea Turbodiesel in their collection. Parts can be found in Europe. mainly in Italy. The VM engine was also used in Jeeps. Landrovers and Chrysler Minivans in Europe. I will include a repair manual in German. The car has a clean transferable WA title and a WA collector plate. __________________Please note: The red rubber floor mats have been replaced with tan carpet mats.
