Market 532: Giulia Spider Veloce 390662

Update January 22 2016: 1 bid buys the car at the opening price of $69,900.  I wonder if the seller actually let it go?  Sounded like they were into it for much more than that.  A lot of guys would like to see this Spider model get expensive ($100K+), but I just haven’t seen it yet.

January 8 2016: Giulia Spider Veloce 10118*390662.  This super clean example of a late Spider Veloce is on eBay right now.  It has a blank factory replacement engine that is said to be built to 00121 spec, though it would be hard to verify this.  The seller quotes a survivor-ship of 1965 built cars as 150 – 350 out of 801, not sure where this number comes from.  Asking price is $109,000 buy it now, with a $69,900 opening bid – probably not a bad deal at the low end of this range if all the work quoted was done to the standard it looks to have been done to.  Too bad about the original engine though.

Milano plate I believe.  Very nicely put together restoration.  Another red one…

Great shut lines!  These Cintaurato tires look smaller than I am used to.

Trunk fit is as good as they ever are.  Red, chrome and black are a good combo.  Nice looking pad too.

Welcoming.  Said to be recent door panels and seat covers.

Tidy!

Shine and decals are a little beyond new.  Attention to details is admirable if not necessarily correct.
