1995 Alfa Romeo SZ Coupe

Vehicle Description 1995 Alfa Romeo SZ $97,900 "1995 Alfa Romeo SZ Coupe ""I can't quite explain the magic, but I guess that's the magic of magic. It just works. I love the cabin with its luxuriant tan hide, I love the Veglia dials, because they are so similar to those used by Ferrari at the same time. I love the sound of that engine and the way it doesn't bang you in the back like a turbo motor, or concentrate all its efforts for near the red line, but gradually builds every thousand revs to a rousing crescendo like all the best road car engines."" Goodwood.com, sept 2023 For consignment, a 1991 Alfa Romeo SZ coupe with a title verified 54,996 kilometer, or 34,172 miles. This car comes to the U.S. via the Netherlands and Japan and although sold and titled to our consignor as a 1995, he believes the VIN indicates a 1991 model year. Only 1,036 Alfa SZs were produced. Exterior The shape is absolutely unique but the color is not as all SZ coupes were delivered in Rosso Alfa red. But let's get back to those body lines, made of thermoplastic composite panels, which connect a stunted rear quarter with a sloped waistline leading to a rear pitched trunk seam, and a prominent fender, and a door with two different edge lines. Window reveals and pillars are matte black and along with a rear wing, gives the profile a fuselage appearance and accentuates the raked stance. Elaborate and specific, the 16-inch wheels add to the uniqueness while up front, three lights set this car apart and flank the Scudetto central triangle and a narrow grille. A washboard design is stamped into the hood for extra aggression and out back, the billboard fascia is bisected by a smoked light bar over lower fog lights and a single oval exhaust tip. Imperfections are few and include scratches, dimpling, chips, especially across the broad front bumper. Interior Italians mastered the use of cushioned leather and it starts on the door inserts here of Beige cowhide mixed with black switchgear, all framed in Russo. The seats are a wild design, stripped of unnecessary footage and providing the right amount and location of support and while the driver's side shows some use, the passenger's leather is clean and tight. Behind them, the carpeted package shelf is roomy and also clean. Up front, we find an uncomplicated cockpit, all in black, with an ergonomic, flat bottomed steering wheel ahead of a simple dashboard with gauges canted toward the driver. An AC panel resides in the center stack which cascades seamlessly to the console, holding the ball handled shifter in a leather boot accompanied by a row of toggles. Tan carpet covers the floor along with brown Alfa mats and sculpted leather adorns the headliner. Drivetrain The car is equipped with a 3.0 liter SOHC V6 rated at 210 horsepower and fuel injected. It's mated to a 5-speed manual transaxle that keeps power to the limited slip rear axle with 3.909 gears. The bay presents in clean driver quality condition. Undercarriage It's rust free, driver quality underneath where power disc brakes are supplied to all four wheels with the rears being inboard. A single exhaust combines two pipes through a stock style muffler and snakes its way to the stainless tip. Suspension includes coil overs at both ends with DeDion axle which consists of a chassis mounted differential, separate drive shafts, and a rigid tube connecting the wheels. Drive-Ability There's no radio and frankly, with a distinct exhaust note, there's no want for one by us. The interior provides wide visibility through the greenhouse and the engine provides good power through turns and straight tracking. As a car focused on the driving experience, there are not a lot of bells and whistles here and all that is present, works as it should.
