1987 Alfa Romeo Milano

1987 Alfa Romeo Milano Verde

141. 00

miles on the chassis. 80. 00 miles on the motor.

Sold new and

always registered in Southern California.

One of

approximately 800 Milano Verde's imported to the US between 1987-1989.

I've had

over a dozen Milano Verde's over the years and this has got to be one of

the best driving ones I've ever owned. Engine. suspension. and

transmission feel great. No squeaks or rattle when driving.

EXTERIOR

For the most

part the Anthracite Grey appears to be original paint with exception to

the hood and top of trunk lid.

There is

some fading on the roof and top of rear fender by the antenna (see

pictures). The rear wheel arches have typical rock chips from highway

use.

The lower

portions of the door look like the clear has some hazing but it only

noticeable from up close.

Couple dents

on the one of the doors - a paintless dent guy can remove

these.

Some touch

up on the rear bumper and one of the wheel arches.

The grey

trim around the body and door handles is in very good condition. I

replaced the door handle gaskets.

Wheels are

in great shape with 205/50-15 Falken tires.

The fog

lights are missing the surround trim. I'm actively searching for them and

if I find some before the auction closes. I will include them.

Has a 1989

grille.

Factory

power antenna works great. Goes up and down fine.

All exterior

lights work properly.

All proper

factory bronze tint side and rear glass (specific for Milano Verde).

INTERIOR

Interior is

all original.

Front seats

are good with some slight wear on the driver bottom. The material is now

available through Centerline Alfa. Side bolsters are in great shape and

very tight.

Rear seats

are over all good. Some wear on the passenger side seat bottom and the back

of the head rests are a bit dry and cracked from the California sun.

Headliner is

good. Sometimes the fabric sunroof section can seem little unglued in the

morning cold and left outside but tightens up firm through out the day and

it get warm.

Gauge

cluster is in great shape and dash top has signs of some very thin cracks

on top but it's only noticeable from close up.

Steering

will is nice overall with a little split at the top.

Carpet is

good and clean with no tears.

All the door

panels are in good overall condition. Passenger front has a little nick in

the fabric. but most people won't notice it.

Has the

original Clarion pull out radio and all original speakers.

Sunroof

tilts up and goes back. It's a little slow sometimes but closes.

Just charged

the a/c and does not appear to have any leaks.

Heater works

great.

The ARC dash

lights come on and clicker 2 times out of 10. This is a known problem with

these cars. This is one of the better units I've seen on these cars in a

long time.

Spare wheel.

jack. and tool kit in the trunk.

MECHANICAL

Recent major

service: New belts. water pump. valve adjustment. changed all fluids. fuel

hoses. air and fuel filters. etc.

Engine runs

very strong with no smoke. I bought the car with the engine apart after

previous owner snapped the timing belts and bent the valves. I installed

an 80 K mile motor out of another 1987 Milano Verde parts car I have. It's

the proper engine for the car. just a few numbers off the original.

Transmission

shifts unbelievable good. No grinding in any gears on up or down shifts.

The bushings for the shift linkage are in great shape so there is zero

slop in the shifter. Clutch feel good and releases properly.

Suspension

is good. All bushings. tie rods. ball joints. shocks. etc. are in great

shape. The only modification I did was install lowering springs in the

rear to bring the back down a little bit.

Brakes are

good. The ABS works as it should with no issues. Has drilled rotors up

front.

Exhaust

system is stock and in good condition. The catalytic converter is good -

just passed smog a few months ago.

Power

steering is good with no leaks at the rack and pinion.

Overall. this is a great car. nd even though it has 141. 00 miles on the chassis. it looks a lot better than most Milano Verde's with this many or half that many miles. If I didn't have my other Milano for 20 years. I'd sell that one and keep this car in a heartbeat. The car comes with some records going back to 1994 and has a clean Car Fax.

If you want more pictures. please let me know and I can send you a link to a gallery of 81 photos of the car. I tried to include a link. but e Bay won't allow it.

The car is sold with a clean California title and is being sold in as is. where is condition with no warranties. I will provide a smog certificate for California buyers.
