February 2015 Iniezione - Northwest Alfa Romeo Club

Iniezione
The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club
Happy New Year, NWARC Style!
It’s always a great way to kick off a new year by
gathering with your friends, getting the Alfa Romeo
out of the garage, and enjoying a little seat time in
the scenic Northwest. Our weather luck worked out
again for us as the club did our annual New Year
Drive on January 3rd.
Gathering at the Starbucks near Silver Lake, the
parking lot filled with many Alfa decades and styles
were well represented. Giulias, GTVs, Alfettas, Spiders, Milanos, 164s, and even a newer Spider and an
8cCompetizione were ready to face the day. There
were plenty of other members and friends in other
cars as well, some new and some old. For example,
Klaus brought his fun Citroen DS while 3 others
brought there Porsches.
The Starbucks was loud and crowded with the many
folks loading up on new year banter and caffeine.
After a short driver / navigator meeting we headed
onto the roads starting with 20 miles of northbound
Interstate 5 to the Rest Area to regroup in the rural
environment. We then headed along smaller roads
across the flood plain for the Stillaguamish River and
through the old town of Arlington. Normally I fill the
guidebook with tons of local info about the history,
geography, and odd facts of the areas we are passing. “In 1959 one of the first Boeing 707s crashed
just
across Photo by George Baumann
the
river from this point after making a test maneuver killing the
two pilots on board.” This time I left all that out wondering
if people wanted it or not. Nobody complained and the
route guides got us where we were going.
Our path continued up Highway 530 towards the small logging town of Darrington which meant we passed the site of
the deadly Oso mudslide. The clouds were just high enough
for us to see the aftermath of the huge mud slide had occurred 9.5 months ago. The road we drove had only fully
reopened a short time ago. In all, the devastating slide

host for the upcoming
Chili Contest.)
Next we wandered back
roads past the SaukSuiattle reservation, the
twisty valley of the Sauk
River, then eventually
along the south side of
the Skagit River to the

town of Sedro-Woolley. Jumping onto Hwy 20 west,
we wandered through Burlington, then onto our destination of Autostrada in Anacortes.
Autostrada is a wonderful Alfa shop that restores,
rebuilds, and somehow saves numerous Alfa Romeos
for use on the street, track, or in some cases tough
places like the Carerra Panamericana in Mexico. The
owner and passionate Alfista is Fred Schuddekopp
who is well known with a customer base that far exceeds our local borders. Fred and his family work
hard as our hosts to provide a BBQ lunch with all the
extras while they surround us with cars, parts, tools
and stories of projects past, present, and future.
The parking area is ripe with unique cars from customers and the drive.
Many of us also wandered over to Ingram Enterprises for snacks and friendly banter with Wes & Rita
Ingram and Herb Sanborn. It is amazing to see the
SPICA pump assortment they have and this visit did
not disappoint. On the bench were numerous
pumps being worked on including over half a dozen
of the extremely rare Montreal versions of the SPICA
pump. How often do most of
us see one, let alone a few?
We each headed home on
our own paths. No tickets,
breakdowns, bent metal
along the drive or the return
trip… except Andy in his
stunningly nice red Alfa Romeo 164S who felt a tire
problem as he was almost back home. Stopping to
check, he found the tread separating and with only 2
miles to go, gave it a slow cautious attempt. It was
not to be and the tire gave out completely. Like a
true Alfisti, Andy’s awareness made a difference as
did the fact that the tired tire didn’t choose to fail on
the high speed twisty roads far from home. Thanks
Andy! Thanks tire! And thanks to all the others
who helped make it a great day!

President’s Column
By Bill Gehring
I haven’t found much currently happening in the Alfa
world, so for this column, I have a variety of topics.
Distracted driving? Here are a couple of stories that
you may have missed in the news lately. First is a
Walter Mitty one about the nut who decided to take
his girl friend’s VW golf onto the Brands Hatch track
while a race was going on. He wasn’t distracted, but
everyone in the race was. He was arrested shortly
after he turned off and when he appeared in court,
didn’t get off lightly. He was charged with “causing a
nuisance to the public” and sentenced to eight
months in jail! Another, less fortunate story involved
a motorist in Georgia who was ticketed for distracted
driving while eating a cheeseburger. That would never be any of us, right? The trooper told him he had
been eating the burger for about two miles when he
pulled him over.
There is another auction coming up
that appears to be pretty interesting.
At Artcurial, at Retromobile in Paris
(another event on my bucket list)
next month will be three Alfas, a Duetto, a Sprint Speciale and a Montreal, but more importantly, cars from
the previously unknown (until three
months ago) Baillon collection. He
was a French shipping magnate with
a taste for exotic cars and at one
time had two hundred. There are
about one hundred left, and sixty
were deemed worthy of auctioning,
the other forty being exotic parts
cars. Among them are a Ferrari 250
SWB California that was completely
unknown, a Bugatti Type 57, a Talbot Lago cabriolet that previously
belonged to King Farouk of Egypt,
and many coach-built French cars.
They are listed and pictured on the
Artcurial website if you are interested.
Equally interesting to me is the “Bring a Trailer” site.
I look at it daily because there is almost always an
interesting car or two as well as an Alfa on it. (Hey
Fred Wright, isn’t that how you sold your GTV race
car?) This week, however, was one of the weirdest
engine-swapped cars I had ever heard of. It was a
1968 Ferrari 365 GT, with not a Chevrolet V8, but a
Jaguar V-12 and five speed. That would be something to flaunt at a Ferrari meet! (Taking a car from
tricky to crazy in one swap. Ed.)
There are some great club events coming up that I
am really looking forward to. The Chili Cook-off at
Kathy Lombardo and Fred Wright’s home is always
fun. You don’t even have to remember the date, as
it is always on the day of the Daytona 500 (which is
always on the big screen). There are lots of good
people there, and the chili and cornbread eating is
well worth the trip. It is a beautiful location, too, and
the beach walk is always interesting and informative.
The Three Garage Tour in March will be a very unique
opportunity to see some fantastic Alfas, not to mention rare examples of some other great marques. Finally, there will only be one 50th Anniversary of
NWARC. It will be celebrated at the home of one of
our club’s founders (who has some notable Alfas himself) in April. I plan to attend every one and look forward to seeing you there.
The Scottsdale auctions, one of those things on my
bucket list, are over, and there didn’t appear to be a
lot of distinctive Alfas sold. One of the most interesting, and expensive, was a 1960 SZ “barn find” which
went for $577,500 at Gooding. Close to it in price
was a 1952 1900C Sprint that Barrett and Jackson
sold for $550,000, but then it tails off to a group of
spiders. RM sold a 2600 for $115,500 and Bonhams
a 1964 Giulia Normale for $99,000. Barrett Jackson
sold their 1963 Giulia for $66,000 and Bonhams a
1960 2 liter for $49,500. Then came some spiders
that we are more familiar with, a 1978 at Russo and
Bill Gehring
Steele for $11,500 and a 1983 at the same venue for
NWARC President
$11,000. Barrett and Jackson sold their 1984 for
$8,800. The only other Alfa that I could find that sold
was a 1961 Sprint at Gooding for $66,000.

Alfa News
By Fred Russell
RM Auctions is selling a 1939 Alfa Romeo 6C2500 that Mussolini had given to his
mistress Petavi. The car figured into Musolini’s failed attempt to flee the Allies and
Russian troops closing in on him. The history of the car is rich and colorful, but the
best part is to validate its history, they use the 1977 Iniezione article about its
discovery, heritage,, thanks to our Malcom Harris and his connection to the car.
One rare Alfa miniature on the market is from Laura at ABC Brianza. The car is the
1954 Alfa 1900 CSS Ghia Speciale. This is a model of a one off car, where the full
size version can be found at AROC Conventions, or west coast car shows like Concorso Italiano. This isn’t cheap but it is rare, unique, and since the real car used to
reside in the NW, it is really appealing.
The NEW York Times had a nice article about the 60th Anniversary of the Giulietta
that can be found at the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/07/automobiles/

Scottsdale Auction Temptation
From down at the Gooding & Company auction in Scottsdale, Ken Case was mildly
tempted by the 1960 Giulietta SZ. This particular car had never been restored. It became a racer immediately after leaving the factory as a metallic
grey new SZ on January 7th, 1960. Running at Targa Florio, the
Tour de France Automobile, the 4 Hours of Pescara, and GT races at Monza. Along the way, Bulgari even captured a class win
at the Coppa Gallenga in the hills around Rome.
Following the 1962 season, Bulgari sold the SZ and, over the
next two years, he and Grana continued to race as members of
Scuderia Sant’Ambroeus, campaigning 250 GTOs, Alfa Romeo
TZs, and Porsche 904s in leading international events. After
running in the 1963 Targe Florio it was sold and moved to New
York City where it was used as a street car until around 1969.
After that it wasn’t really seen until 2014.
Temptations were put to rest as Ken watched the car sell for
$577,500.

Jon’s
Registration closes on March 3rd, or as soon as a maximum number of attendees is
reached. Please sign up and don't miss out.
Jon Shirley started collecting cars in the early 90’s with a few fantastic Ferraris, plus
his Alfa passion runs deep with his 1932 8C2300 MM Touring, 1938 8C2900 B Lungo,
as well as Nuvolari’s 1934 P3 from the 1935 Grand Prix of Germany. Jon will be there

Greg’s
Nearby is Greg Whitten’s freshly remodeled car storage space and his wonderful mix
of cars. Greg, an early key player in the success of Microsoft, now shares his time
with work and family, but will take time to be with us and his mix of rare vintage racers and new exotic cars on tour day.
A few of you may know Bruce Wanta, but his car collection is also a few steps from
Greg and Jon’s and is not to be missed. Bruce has a knack for finding cars that are
rare, cool, and extremely low mileage. He also enjoys many other really fun collectables which are worth a visit all by themselves!
If you cannot register online for some reason, you can contact Fred Russell at:
FKTMRussell@msn.com or 425 308 6621 to arrange sign-up and payment.
No new registrations at the door. Pre-registration only.
North American Auto Show
Bruce’s
by Alex Sargeant
The North American Auto Show (Detroit, January 12–25) has now come and gone.
Here’s a quick wrapup of all the FIAT Chrysler (FCA) news that came out.
Topping the list is the confirmation from Sergio Marchione himself that the new roadster will definitely be coming out as a FIAT Abarth, not as an Alfa Romeo. Release
date information was still kept vague, it now appears that the car may not be revealed to the public until the Paris Auto Show. No new information about other previously announced models was presented.
The glamour debut was the production version of the Alfa Romeo 4C Spyder. Shown
in a beautiful yellow, it looks to be a welcome addition to the Alfa Romeo brand. Expect to see it available for sale in the
middle of the year. Numbers will be limited, as the factory can only produce about 3,000 total 4Cs per year for global consumption. It was mentioned that only about 25 percent of total 4C production will be allotted to North American sales.

Peter Tells All… January Club Meeting WrapUp
One of the more crowded meetings we had was
the January gathering at Angelo’s in Bellevue in
early January. Peter Emhoff, who helped restore
both of Michael Kay’s award winning Alfa Romeos, gave a great presentation on how to do a superior restoration, ranging to an everyday ALFA
as well. The overflow crowd saw a detailed show
of how a good old Alfa can become a great old
Alfa. Dick and Jessica Camp were there to share
their positive experience with the restoration that
Peter did on their Spider. An added bonus was
that Wes Ingram shared a few secrets concerning getting a little extra performance during an engine rebuild which is perfect to do
during a restoration. A great learning experience for any Alfisti.

Chili CookOff and Cornbread Competition
Everyone who has attended this in the past knows how much fun
this event is and the fact that there is more food and flavors than
our group can handle. That’s why we’re doing it again. Back to
Fred Wright and Kathy Lombardo's home for plenty of wonderful
chili and a variety of cornbread… all part of the annual NWARC Chili
CookOff and Cornbread Contest. After years of perfecting your recipes, this is time to cook up your best version of chili, cornbread, or
both! We’ll be judging a champion for each category. Bowls,
spoons, real butter and soft drinks will be provided. Feel free to
bring your favorite beer, wine or spirits as well.
When: February 22rd at 12 noon, Chili and Corn Bread judging begins at 1PM. The Daytona 500 will be on the big screen and
the garage will be open for bench racing so hang around for the
afternoon. Consider a nice walk on the beach as an option… rain or
shine!
Where: 3843 85th Avenue NW Olympia, WA 98502
(360) 628-8679
Directions: I-5 to the Olympia area, then take Exit 104 onto Hwy
101. Follow Hwy 101 toward Shelton; Once you take the final segue
onto Hwy 101 toward Shelton go a few miles… take Exit 101 onto
Steamboat Island Road, once you exit you’ll initially follow the road
to the left. Next, turn Right (at the stop sign) onto Steamboat Island
Road and follow for approx. 7 miles. Turn left on Howe (79th goes
off to the extreme left but you take the ‘gentle left’). Turn left on
Mason… Mason turns into 85th. Follow 85th to the end and take the
last drive way on the left. If you find the wrong house, their nice
neighbors and may enjoy chili as well.

February 22nd
AROO / NWARC Joint Club Drive
May 16-17
Hopefully you took the advice given
in the January Iniezione and reserved the weekend of May 16-17
for the AROO-NWARC Tour. Further
discussion with the planner for the
Oregon chapter has ensued and we
decided that limiting this first event
to two days might encourage more
participation from both chapters. We
anticipate beginning the tour midmorning on Saturday (May 16), south of Chehalis, near the
intersection of I-5 and US-12 (exit 68). We will head east
on US-12 and, depending upon conditions, will divert to
Chinook Pass or continue on US-12 to Canyon Rd. toward
Ellensburg. There will be ample opportunity for potty stops,
socializing, as well as lunch along the way. Later on Saturday we’ll be finding some nice roads east of Ellensburg and
then head to our lodging in time for some socializing, happy hour and then on to dinner and more socializing. Do you
get the idea that this is an opportunity for members of two of AROC’s largest chapters to mingle and get to know each
other better? Accommodation rates are yet to be finalized, but there will be an electronic announcement in the future, as
well as notice given in the Iniezione.
On Sunday, AROO folks will head south on a route their planners will design. I intend to head back toward the Seattle
metropolitan area via Blewett and Stevens Passes.
Additionally, I expect to take backroads on Friday and reserve a motel room in the Chehalis area to allow a more leisurely
Saturday morning before getting to the meeting place. Please let me know if you are interested in knowing what route I
will be taking and at which motel I will be bunking on Friday.
I would appreciate hearing from people who plan to participate so we can have a better idea of numbers for lunch, dinner,
motel, etc. in advance of finalizing plans. If you have questions, and/or wish to be notified as plans are finalized, please
contact me at 425-241-9307 or g.hyde@aroc-usa.org.

Cars & Parts For Sale!
Books For Sale: Starting with the first 4-cylinder races
on abandoned airports in the early 1950s and wrapping up
with three big-time professional racing circuits in place at
the conclusion of the 1961 season, Long Straights and
Hairpin Turns takes the reader through a wonderful decade
where skinny-tired cars and their t-shirt-wearing drivers
raced for little more than fun and trophies. The saga is
continued with Long Straight’s successor, Weekends of
Glory, which covers the increasingly big time racing era of
the 1960s. Long Straights and Hairpin Turns is a one-of-a
-kind record of a fabulous era sadly neglected until this
book revived it for all race fans, young and old. It is available from Martin Rudow at (206) 427-1124, email
