Market 276: Good 101 Sprint project 20004

Giulietta Sprint 10105 1493*20004. I didn’t write about this one while it was active, but it went unsold after 16 bids brought it to $8522.  Very original interior remains and all in all the seller is correct that this should be a straight forward project.  Heck, maybe just do the brakes, clean out the carb and go for it!
Yep, metallic black.  No, really.  Rockabilly-bling!

Market 104: 101 Sprint Racer in Italy

Update 10/26/10: This charmer has found its way to the UK and can now be had for the same money it was before.
Most of the stickers have gone -two tone is still a little odd but works for a race prepped car.
Original post 4/8/2009: Giulietta Sprint 10102*160784. This racy fellow is available now on Classic Driver for 21,950 pounds (about $32,000 at time of writing) from a private seller in Italy.   If you are looking for a Sprint that’s not too dear to take racing this might be the right car for you.  I’ve been thinking about going racing in my local vintage racing scene and this is the sort of car I would build.
bigbPaintwork looks great as does all the trim.  I’d be tempted to remove some of the grills.  I like the color combination.

Market 267: SS in Europe

Update (later the same day): Okay -I know this car because Jay drove it on the Melee in 2000 or 2001.

Giulietta SS. Marko sent me a link to this one.  I get the feeling I’ve seen it before but can’t remember when/where and don’t have time to peruse the last 30 months of markets to find out -I wonder if it’s a local car I was trying to track down last Spring out of Stockton Ca?  It’s listed as a 1962 and by the look of things it is in decent shape though not very original, with a 36,000 Euro asking that makes some sense.
Script in its mouth is odd.  This is pretty close to the effect I was going for with my SS had I followed through with it.  Wheels are later 105 items.  Has a roll bar and the headlight rings don’t look quite right -maybe Fiat 124 items which work fairly well on SS’s.

Markt 259: Nice Giulietta SS in the US

Update 10/19/10: This car is now on eBay and features a lot of pictures.  Also, I had the VIN wrong -it’s 10120*177423 (link is to more pictures) with engine number 00120*01775.  I wonder if the seller from Hemmings knew they were selling it to a dealer?
Update 10/4/10: Driversource bought this car, gave it a polish and now you can buy it from them for $59,500.

Update 9/9/10: I have received word that this car has been sold.  You snooze you lose!
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*177423, 00120*01775. This car is for sale right now on Hemmings out of Belleville Michigan for $50,000 -not bad for a nice original car, just under 40K Euro’s.
Hello Gorgeous!  I like them in white.  Corner marker lights look a little far back on the fender, but maybe the one’s I’ve seen are too far forward.

Market 263: Spider 10103… Endless Restoration

Update 10/14/10:Car sold for $23,995 after 21 bids -a good result.
Update 10/11/10: Seller has made the smart move of installing that missing headlight, took some new photos and relisted it.  About 3 days to go and it’s $16,000 as I write.

Update 10/6/10: 23 bids were placed resulting in a high of $17,100 with reserve not met.  I’m not surprised from either end -it’s too far from done to go for more and too much has been invested to let it go for probably less than low $20K’s.
Giulietta Spider 10103*167419, 00102*14739. I’m aware that to call a car a stalled project or endless restoration isn’t very helpful, especially considering it seems to be the norm for a project to go unfinished for years, whether a rusty backyard ‘someday’ car or that concours restoration that would be done if the correct ‘LOBO’ bolts could be found for mounting the steering box, in anycase, this car, on eBay now out of Indiana, is the odd car that despite good intentions and a trickle of resources over the years, seems to have moved nearly perpendicular to a normal restoration path… -a lot remains to be done and redone (sadly) but it has survived, is rust free and includes a lot of really well prepared parts to assemble to it.
Avast ye mateys -where’s me eye patch ARRR.  It’s hard to picture a red Giulietta Spider as a pirate.  Looking not too bad here except the chunk of paint missing from the nose.

Market 266: Late Spider Veloce

Update 10/10/10: 47 bids resulted in a reserve not met price of $27,000.

Giulia Spider Veloce 10118*390717. This car is on eBay right now out of New Mexico.  It was restored once upon a time by Bobcor to a driver standard with an incorrect engine and some questionable parts combo’s.  Asking price of nearly $40K is more in line with a correct, numbers matching car.  A side note- Fusi lists these Spiders as having an engine with a 00118 prefix -there is no such thing- they came with the same engine as a Giulia SS -with a 00121 prefix.
Passes the wow test -a glossy picture from 10 feet.  Stance is good, bright work looks nice and the door and hood fit is pretty good.

Market 265: Not only did it not sleep…

Update 10/6/10: Despite several long time Giulietta experts chiming in to say it wasn’t worth more than $500, the auction ended at $2850.55 after 4 bids.  The condition of the drive train will dictate whether this is a good deal or not.  I reckon a good 00106 block with all its original stuff in usable condition would go for about what this car went for.
Giulietta Spider Veloce 10125 1495*10189, 00106. This rusty shamble of a Spider is on eBay right now out of York, PA.  Buy it now price is a reasonable $3500 considering the parts it will provide.  With Spider Veloce’s regularly changing hands over $50K these days maybe it’s a viable project for some adventurous soul.
I like the custom crash bar.  Lots of rust here.  Is that a hard top for it in the background?
