Update 3/7/11: A regular reader tells me he went to check this car out when the Scottsdale auctions were going on and it was sold for full $85,000 asking price a few hours before he got to the showroom to see it. Serious money! I should be back at this regularly for a while -sorry for the interruption… oddly, readership has stayed steady. Thanks for reading.
Update 1/13/11. This charmer has found its way onto eBay.
Giulia SS 10121*381099, 00121 engine. This car is available now from Brighton Motorsports in Arizona. Seller claims it took a best of class at Monterey weekends Concorso Italiano in 2010 -if so then a lot of you readers will have seen this car before. The usual “140 surviving examples” quote is in the description, I currently list 224 by vin number and know of at least 30 that I don’t have vins for. I have pictures of 49 cars too! No price is stated.
Nice, red, shiny, well fitted example. This is a great angle for these car!

Market 287: Sprint corpse
I am reminded of the scene in True Grit when the guy wearing the bear skin asks if they want the body after the teeth are pulled -‘it must have some value’. Indeed. Buy this guy now out of Poland for about $1000.
Your forced to look at it and shrug -what do you do with it? Nice verdant countryside it lives in.

Market 286: "Structurally Magnificent" 1600 Spider
Giulia Spider 1600 10123*378523, 00112*13849. Fantasy Junction, my local $ports and $pecialty car dealer, has in their showroom now this late 1600 Spider, a good example of why you try and buy a car out of California. As rust free as you could ask for and priced to match at $44,500. Their site lists it as ‘sale pending’ so move fast if this is your thing.
FJ always has this angle and for good reason -a handsome car made even more handsome. Looks good no?

Market 285: Giulia SS 381347 at Gooding
Giulia SS 10121*381347. This guy, only a little distinguishable from the last two posts will be auctioned in Scottsdale at Gooding’s January 21st – 22nd auction. The estimate is $60,000 – $80,000.
This picture makes the SS look rather slender in profile. Very nice horizon reflection along the side.

Market 284: Giulietta SS 00228
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00228, 00120*00627. You may note that this is the fifth SS in a row I’ve found on the market and written about. Good time to be shopping for a nice one. This particular car is in Germany at Movendi -“The spirit of classic cars’. Price is 49,900 Euro’s or about $65,000.
I’m running out of words here. Nice, red, shiny, well turned out and with its hood slightly ajar. Cool.

Market 282: Nice original Giulia SS in Belgium
This Giulia SS is offered by Mecanic Import out of Belgium with a current listing on eBay for $56,000. The seller claims it is has “never received a ground up restoration, but kept in good condition over the years”. I see some trivial non-original stuff but all in all it looks like a great car. The fact that it is being marketed to the USA from Belgium makes me wonder if the market is going soft in Europe for SS’s. If that’s the case we may see a softening here in the US too. Hmmm.
Nice down-low perspective shot. Bright stuff looks -well- bright. Passenger side wiper arm looks a little wayward.

Market 281: Giulia SS project in France
This Giulia SS is in France and appears to be a better than average starting point. I think the deal is, they are starting to restoring it and are hoping to find someone to buy it now and choose a color, specification and whatnot. Whatever the case -it’s good to see these are still coming out of the woodwork.
What have we here… ah, a nice SS project lurking in the shadows.
