Today we go back to Italy for this 1995 Alfa Romeo 164 Quadrifoglio.


This one is a high-mileage example with almost 230K on the clock. The engine has been rebuilt, the five-speed manual transmission has been replaced, and the clutch is new. The steering-rack mounts are also new and the brakes, suspension, and driveshafts have been rebuilt.

Our seller also reupholstered the interior, refurbished the wheels, repainted the car, and added new tires.

If you like Alfas, this one is in California and the ask is $7,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Think how dated this 80s design was by 1995!

      Eh, lots of 80s or earlier platforms ran though the early to mid 90s with OBDII and passenger air bag mandate ultimately taking out stragglers.

    The word "quadrifoglio" may mean something in Italian, but nothing will top Henry Ford's 2-door "Tudor" and 4-door "Fordor".

  • Carson D A friend of mine is currently driving a Grand Wagoneer L Obsidian III, which boldly calls out its US production status twice by the time you're behind the wheel. I wonder what happens when products like that one share a showroom with ones that don't have any mention of production location.
  • Add Lightness The level 1 charger that came with my Toyota becomes a level 2 charger when fed 240v. 5 years now and works perfectly.
  • MaintenanceCosts All you people asking for an ICE version realize you'd need a longer hood and different rear packaging (for a fuel tank) to make it work, right?
  • Jalop1991 ah, the old "engaging!" trope. Isn't it funny how "I have to shift my own gears, it's so engaging" disappears the moment EVs come into play.
  • Kcflyer They should sell these to the kamala administration with a 1 billion dollar markup
