750 and 101 series cars 1954 – 1965
Update 2/2/13: Â Another no sale.
Update 1/16/13: Â Someone has had a little work done. Â Boy -they shoulda painted the wheels bright red while they were at it. Â I still think it’s a pretty reasonable start to that early Spider 750 project you’ve been contemplating. Â See it on eBay now!
Update 12/12/12: Â A little better than last time. Â Maybe eBay is not the right outlet for this car?
Giulietta Spider 10103*09805. Â This car is on eBay right now with a Buy it Now of $89,500. Â It’s a nice one, and before I get into the gory details of incorrectness, I have to remind myself and you gentle reader, that it’s HARD to get a car to this point. Â It requires either a steady check writing hand (and a very skilled payee) or an attention span worthy of a Nobel prize.
This is either a really good shade of red, or the lighting is just right. Â Fantastic shut lines, very nice trim, slightly on the blue side of silver wheels, Cibie headlamps. Â A nice one.

Update 12/18/12: Â They always turn up again -this guy at F40 Motorsports. Â Price of $139,000 is feeling more and more like a sensible high for SS’s and likely the neighborhood they will come to rest in for a while -unless of notable heritage or otherwise interesting. Â This car has few issues, and if red is you color a trip to Portland CT may be just the thing -though I think the leaves will all have fallen by now.
Nicely turned out with Borrani’s. Â Is it just me or are there a lot of wheel weights on that front wheel? Â Aren’t the bent ones supposed to go on the back (or get fixed??)? Â Panel fit is excellent. Â It’s quite red!

12/24/12: Â Understandably not sold for $21,100. Â Better pictures and a little research allowing for a candid appraisal of it’s condition by the seller would help.
12/17/12: Giulietta Spider 10103*171325, 1315*010625.  This car is on eBay right now out of  Quebec.  It looks okay, but it’s tough to tell much about a black car in dark pictures.  The seller seems to be a dealer of primarily American/Muscle type cars.  In the description they seem surprised the car has a twin cam engine.  Heh!
Nice! Â The chrome is all new as are the tires. Â Can’t say much about the paint/body -needs some outdoor pictures.
Update 12/24/12: Â Sold for $2850!
12/16/12: Giulietta Spider 10103*170856.  This partial car is on eBay right now out of Texas.  It comes with some of it’s parts, but no images or inventory are offered -the seller only confirms it’s missing the seats, engine, transmission and one windshield pillar.  I think that is probably the abbreviated list of macro parts missing, and that there will be plenty more.  The car itself is as pictured is a very rusty shell.  Proceed with caution.
From this angle, not too bad, just missing a little skin and a little banged up.

Update 1/16/13:Â Car has been sold via eBay for $12,500 almost immediately upon listing.
12/13/12: Giulietta Sprint 10102 1493*20205, 1315*010311. Â This car is available right now out of Florida from a long time Alfa owner/restorer. Â It is more solid than the usual Sprint project and complete but needs a full restoration to be nice or at least a mechanical freshening to be driven. Â If you’re looking for a matching numbers complete Sprint as a starting point for a project this may be the car for you! Â Asking price is “offers in the lower mid-teens”.
This car was Market 49 where it failed to sell for about $5500 back when you could get pretty good runner for about $20,000. Â Pretty good runners have moved on to start at about $35,000 and projects have gotten more expensive as a result, so I think $12 – 15K would not be a bad deal for this car. Â Car was originally delivered to a dealer in Italy – finding it’s way to the US in the 60’s.
Email me and I’ll put you in contact with the seller. Â sprints @ giuliettas.com
One could drive this car looking like this. Â Might cause some grumbling among the purists – but who cares. Â Marker lights are consistent with a European delivery car. Â Trim all looks pretty good.Â

Giulietta SS 10120.  Henrik sent me a link to this car selling out of Germany, with a note of surprise at the 255,000 Euro price tag.  Anyone know which car it is, or have any other pictures?
Could be 00001 or 00002 with a grill fitted. Â I think 00002 is more likely.
Update 12/12/12: Â What are the chances this car is available now on Autotrader for $17,000? Â Not much I would bet. Â Thanks Mark for pointing this scam out!
Update 7/12: Â Car sold for a little over $60,000.
Giulietta Spider Veloce 10107*167647, 00106*01234. This car is on eBay right now out of Georgia by a reputable seller usually dealing in Maserati’s. The car is tidy, complete and functional and would likely suit the buyer looking for something they can use without worry and improve when the fit takes them.
Lovely. White suits the Spider very well. All the trim, fit and finish is nice. Sellers got a nice driveway!

Update 12/12/12: Â Numbers added. Â Thanks Christopher for the fancy footwork. Â Matching-ish number car = more value, but how much more?
Looks correct. Â Clean block.
Only the early ones seem to have these build plates – usually US cars with the 10117 prefix.
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00142, 00120*00601.  At the bottom of the lower middle of the possibly viable Spring Speciale (typo theirs) spectrum sits this vin-not-disclosed SS out of Beverly Hills.  It’s actually more complete than this sort of thing is, but jeez – where’s it been??  Thanks Dan for making me aware of it.  Oh – and $44K is the operative range.
Everyone needs an SS at the bottom of their pond for the better part of the Rolling Stones career. Â It is and someone will go for it -it’s just work after all (work being a four letter word for money).
12/24/12:Â Tough to say whether it’s just right or a bargain at $27,100 -but if they overpaid, it couldn’t have been by much.
12/7/12: Giulietta Spider 10103*170763. Â This car is available now on eBay. It is nice enough but unremarkable. The description, though verbose, doesn’t say much about the car and the pictures are way to small to do anything but tease. Both leave a lot to the imagination -a tactic no doubt, because most people fill in the missing information with imaginings that add up to an impression of what they want to see rather than what is there. Regardless, the price is still low and if it’s as rust free as described, it wouldn’t take much to turn it into a very nice car.
All the pictures have this ‘a little too close’ air and saturated color. Â Does look nice though -so desired effect achieved. Â Infinitely better to start here than a rusty hulk.
