Market 533: Mexico Sprint 07413 on SF Bay area CL

Update April 13, 2016:  Talked to the buyer of this car the day before yesterday.  He’s very enthusiastic about it and has begun a rolling restoration.  He says it is absolutely rust free and in many ways better than he expected.  As the comment below says, we will all be belly-aching about how we should have bought this car in 5 years.

Update February 15, 2016: This car has been listed on eBay.  It has 8 bids and sits at $40,000 as I type.  I should be nicer to my Sprint -maybe even get it painted!

February 1, 2016: Giulietta Sprint 750B 07413.  This Sprint is on my local Craigslist.  Has all the hallmarks of a survivor from Mexico… redone but totally deviating from original interior.  Odd components in the engine compartment and probably a black 80’s cassette deck.  Asking price is $38,000.  One needs to see this in person checking carefully for filler.

Looks like a Sprint.  I can’t tell if the sill trim is missing or just nor original.  No wipers.  

Steering wheel looks weird – like it was sanded too thin.  Interior gets the job done, but is no where near original.

Lots to do.

Have these wheels been modified?  Lips look a bit big.

Odd unfinished headliner edge.

The old finger trick.  Looks decent from back here.  License plate is off center and it has a Sprint Veloce badge.

Brake fluid bottle is probably from a Toyota or VW.  All kinds of unfinished and cruddy under here.  Lots and lots to do.
