context_page_description: The SSZ Stradale is an automobile developed by Tom Zatloukal, an Alfa Romeo racer and restorer, and produced between 1984 and 1999. SSZ stands for Sprint Speciale Zatloukal. Based on the Giulietta SS, the aim was to produce a high performance version with a lightweight and wider body than the standard production SS. The original intent had been to produce a one-off vehicle for personal use. The car was well received at Alfa club events and Alfa historian Pat Braden nicknamed the car "The Zatmobile" and published photos in Alfa Owner magazine. A second car was built for Joe Benson, author of the Alfa Romeo Buyers Guide. After several other people expressed interest in purchasing a car, SSZ Motorcars was born.
context_section_description: Mark 3.1 autos had the same chassis and body as the 3.0 sans wings. The engines were Chevrolet LS6 aluminum V8s coupled to a Richmond 5-speed. The wheels were changed to a traditional 5-bolt pattern. Like the 3.0, the auto was sold for competition purposes and was available without engine. Several cars have been converted street use.
