Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*00627. Available now on eBay out of Santa Barbara is this lovely Spider. Great color, albeit with an incorrect but no less lovely interior in black. Seems that now’s a good time to be in the market or an early Giulietta.
Someone knows what they are doing with a camera. The composition, lighting, saturation etc is all perfect. Hood fits great and trim looks right.Â

Market 319: Spider 750D 00134
Update 3/8/11: Reserve not met at $60,100. Wow.
Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*00134, 1315*40206. On eBay now out of what is one of the epicenters of classic Alfa Romeo’s in the US comes this very early example. The sellers description is verbose to say the least, but rightly so when hoping for big$, and it’s attached below for future generation to appreciate. Sorry about the lack of posts lately -was without much internet for most of July.
I saw this and thought -look at that bird flying in front of that white car -oh, er, that’s a Giulietta Spider. Okay, car looks great. Paint is not over the top shiny but that’s how I like it. Do these have rolled lip rims?

Market 299: Giulia Sprint Speciale racer

From 3/24/11: Giulia SS. This car is available now from Classic Car dot com. It is described as a 1964 Giulia but no vin is stated. Anyone know which car this is? Asking price is 60,000 Euro’s (about $85,000 on 3/24/11). Description states the seller converted it to race spec -I wonder if it comes with the stock components that were removed?
Learn more about the Sprint Speciale here. The Giulia SS register is here.
I like this color a lot. Fog light placement is interesting -I was going to put fog lights on mine, but use the bumper bracket mounts. Wheels are period magnesium items.

Market 318: Spider 00599!
Update 8/7/11: Sold to the man in the big yellow hat for $32,200!
Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*00599, 1315*40613. This very well preserved (or neglected to good effect if you prefer) early Spider is on eBay right now from often in action and well respected seller ‘Davelit’. Check it out now.
Good start. Car was originally light blue -would be nice to see it go back. Hood fits very well.

Market 317: Spider Telaio 00040!
Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*00040. This car, available on Autoscout.it was brought to my attention by Elmar who keeps an eye on the European market for interesting cars. A quick disclaimer is that the seller states that it is car number 40, but I haven’t seen a picture of the vin to verify that it is in fact that car. Whatever the vin, this is a great looking early Spider.
Looks funny in this pose. I don’t know that I’ve featured this look before in a headline picture.

Market 316: Pretty good Spider in Houston
Update 6/30/11: Failed to sell for $24,500.
Giulietta Spider 10103*169986. DriverSource out of Houston Texas, who have had a few cars listed on this site over the years now has this Spider listed on eBay. While it has its problems, it is a pretty good place to start Giulietta Spider ownership -as it runs, drives, stops, is complete, and doesn’t have gaping holes. On top of that it’s a good looking enough car that you wont feel bad using it as is until you can get a coat of original gray paint back on it (or whatever you want but I advise gray).
Wow guys -great composition! The green, the red, the blue, the road, the horizon. Nice looking car too.

Market 313: Nice survivor Sprint on Bring a Trailer
Giulietta Sprint 10105 1493*21069. Bring a Trailer has this car listed as an exclusive for a long time owner. A good portion of the paint is original Amber White, interior is original. Engine was rebuilt 30 years ago to Veloce spec though aside from manifold and carbs, a cold air/filter system needs to be purchased. Asking price is $23,500. A bit high by usual Sprint project standards, but this is no ‘usual’ Sprint project. A Sprint buyer looking for originality, no rust, black plates, complete history etc will have no problem paying for this. I suspect it is sold as I write, but I want to share this beauty with any Giuliettas readers who are not BaT readers.
Resprayed door is apparent in this picture. Lost headlight ring? I still want a pair of these lenses. You still have that one for me Brad?

Market 311: 'Dazzling' 1959 Normale Spider
Update 5/29/11: 1 bid, reserve not met. So it goes.
Giulietta Spider 10103. This car is on eBay right now out of Oak Park Ill. Seller has had it 12 years and doesn’t state a selling reason -perhaps they saw an opening -a dry spell where no good Giulietta’s have been listed on eBay for a while. Looks like a fine car in an unusual color combo -off white with blue interior..
I like the dusky light here. Everything looks good on the body. No vin is stated but if someone catches it let me know so this guy can take its place in the register.

Rare part: Sprint Speciale drivers door glass
Update 5/24/11: Huh. Sold for $225. There was a time when 3 guys I know would have bid on a lot on this.
Elmar pointed out to me that there is an SS drivers door glass on eBay right now. While I had my SS project a lot of guys asked about this part. It took me about 2 years to find one as well.  There are two versions of the window to accommodate different mounting styles, but the differences are all inside the door, so a clever restorer should be able to make either work on either mechanism. Ends tonight!
Market 310: 101 Spider in Florida
Update: Seller ended the auction early to honor a verbal contract he thought had fallen through -even though bidding had surpassed the contract price. The honorable thing to do.
Giulietta Spider 10103*170509, 00102*25833. This Spider is available right now on eBay. Seller is out of Florida and has been featured here a few times selling cars like this. The car would be a great candidate to get going and use as is if it weren’t for some ugly rust. It’s fixable but it’s not going to be fun!
Originally gray with red, now red with red. Front end looks pretty good -trim and all is straight.
