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!

  I see a ton of Peugeot 405 in this design so I had to call on my old friend Google - Pininfarina designed both. But the interiors diverged into French design oddness (where's the horn again???) and Italian billboard of buttons that might have looked cool inside the space shuttle, but driving at 70 mph trying to find something in a sea of sameness? Nope.
  The 166 replaced the 164 and given the absolute monstrosity of that front end, maybe they should have kept the 164!!!

  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".

Corey Lewis So they kill the E coupe only to immediately bring it back as the CLE? I really don't get their naming strategy *at all*.
ToolGuy "rollercoaster"?
Jkross22 16/800. Something seems off with the number of people arrested. Way off.
Dave M. Welcoming news. During my latest acquisition I really liked the CX-5 but the mpgs weren't great. Hybrid option is overdue.
Klkrause I've thought that Cadillacs have at least been decent looking for the last decade or more, but their interiors have been quite lacking. The build quality and materials used in the interior seem like slightly upgraded Chevrolets instead of in the class of Audi, BMW, or Lexus.If I'm paying a premium for a luxury brand I expect to feel "pampered" when I'm driving or sitting in it.
