Market 476: Spider Veloce 750F 07012 project

Giulietta Spider 750F 1495*07012. This car is available now out of Bethel CT from a seller who seems to have a never ending supply of Alfa projects to offer up. This car is a late SWB 750 Veloce, a desire-able thing these days, and it looks to have most of the hard to get stuff under the hood. Asking price is $26,500. Not bad if the rust isn’t too crippling. Might be a good deal if you’ve been considering adding one of these to the fleet.

Flat black has the potential to hide a multitude of sins. Looks straight at least. I wonder if the trim is included. Note the engine in the back ground.

Market 475: Spider 10104*09014 owned twice, sold twice

Giulietta Spider 10104*09014, 1315*013829. This fellow is for sale now out of Omaha for $69,500. Body has had extensive reconstruction done to a high standard, with everything rebuilt or refreshed. Interior colors are not original, which some potential buyers may grumble about, but it looks pretty good. Prospective buyers should go check it out, as there are lots of tiny details that need to be inspected at this price point.

So far so good. Door fit is excellent. Trim all has a very nice shine. George expects me to comment on the Fergats but I wont. Continue reading “Market 475: Spider 10104*09014 owned twice, sold twice”

Market 474: Spider 10123*372432 in Sacramento

Giulia Spider 10123*372432. This car is available now from Luxury Motorcars in Sacramento Ca. I found it via CL. Car is shiny red, seems to have blacked out rockers as well as poorly applied black to engine compartment and underhood. All in all, maybe a decent buy at the $27,995 asking if there’s no or very little rust. Sacramento is dry…

Not too bad at all. Could be an excellent place to start. Paint looks great as does the trim, but these are not very good pictures. Continue reading “Market 474: Spider 10123*372432 in Sacramento”

Market 473: Another project Spider: 10123 392585

Giulia Spider 10123*392585, 00112*16232. This very late (last one is 392852) Spider is on eBay right now. With so many expensive siblings having been listed here over the last few days, this one, at the current bid of $8100 seems positively cheap. Parts are pretty well supported for these now and the engines are straight forward to put together so this shouldn’t be too difficult a proposition. I am wondering if guys have been saving Spiders for Spring -there are a lot of them available right now.

I’d run this cosmetically as-is except for the bare metal rocker and rusty wheels. Door and hood fit is good, front trim looks great. Continue reading “Market 473: Another project Spider: 10123 392585”

Market 472: Spider 10123 375062 – all the money

Giulia Spider 10123*375062, 00112*06976. This 1600 Spider is available now for $55,000 from Classic Investments. A trend the last few days: original cars for big money? Guess so. This car looks like it could be polished out a bit more and made to shine. A $55,000 car? Some sympathetic hands could probably get it to the level of Market 467 – and possibly the magic $80,000 range. This was good Veloce money moments ago!

Definitely a candidate for some OCD attention to detail. Yes, still my favorite color! Three shoe brake model.

Market 471: Clean and bright Spider 10123 379673

Later that day: Asking price is $64,500. Big dough for a 10123?

Giulia Spider 1600 10123*379673, 00112*15263. Following in the footsteps of Market 467 is this extremely clean Spider. Presentation is fantastic -almost a little too much production on the pictures some might say, but refreshing compared to the dark low-res pictures I so frequently have to work with. No pictures of the underside are available and the engine compartment could use some detailing, but these may turn out to be trivialities based on what you find when you go look at it.

Hey Aaron, which region is LA? See what I mean about the production value of the pictures? This isn’t photoshopped into a sea of milk, it’s in a nice photo booth of sorts. Oh, and the general fit and finish of the car looks fabulous. Anyone know this car? Continue reading “Market 471: Clean and bright Spider 10123 379673”

Market 469: Spider Veloce 10125*10115 in PA

Update 4/23/2013: Seller contacted me to tell me the original block is included. I guess this mitigates some of the ‘original engine’ perceptions. Can perceptions be mitigated? Hmmm.

Giulietta Spider 10125*10115. This clean Spider is available through Hemmings right now. They seem to let their listings ride for months -probably to keep the overall site listing count from dipping below some minimum, so there’s no guarantee it’s still available, but a quick call to the seller should tell. The car is very clean and shiny, with compelling, although way too dark to reveal much of the details images. If you are in the market for an early LWB Spider Veloce and $99,500 doesn’t scare you off, you should book a trip to PA and go take it for a drive.

Nearly invisible door shut lines? Check. Borrani wheels? Check. 20 footer? Check. Car looks really good, but these images are too dark and too low resolution to be more than marginally useful. Enough to base a trip to PA on I guess.

Market 467: Very nice original 10123 373589 -SOLD!

Giulia Spider 10123*373589, 00112*03357. Reader Larry hipped me to the sale of this car -at $80,000 probably the most expensive white 1600 Normale ever to sell…? It is a documented 28,779 mile car. It is beautiful. It has had a ton of very sympathetic work done. Check it out!

Another very compelling composition! I’d be more than happy to drive this around.

Market 466: Shin’s SS 380596 for sale in California

Giulia SS 10121*380596. This car is available right now from Shin Yoshikawa -a name you may recognize if you have or have seen one of those cool cut-away type illustrations of Alfa’s -I think I have one of his TZ2 posters. This SS is a time-warp of a sort -having some detailing that most SS owners today would change -like the hot-roddy red and white interior. Asking price is a reasonable seeming $100,000 -hard to say that considering the best ones were $40,000 when I started this blog.

Looks nice. -especially hanging out with it’s older brother -a 10120. Is that wind deflector red? Continue reading “Market 466: Shin’s SS 380596 for sale in California”

Market 465: Sprint 1600 353403 in San Diego

Giulia Sprint 1600 10112*353403. This car is available right now from Motoring Investments in San Diego. They have sold several very nice Alfa’s over the years and by all accounts do very high quality work getting the cars ready for sale. This particular example is overall very clean and ready for use, with some slight detail changes that could stand to be done to take it to the next level. Fantasy Junction sold that very nice one I wrote about recently for $56,500, so this one at $47,500 doesn’t seem too far off.

Perfectly clean? Check! Neutral background? Check! Slightly saturated color? Check! Most handsome angle? Perhaps. A nicely composed image.
