Market 146: Nice expensive Giulietta Spider

Update 9/18/09: This car sold for $35,000 with 4 bidders joining the fray. I am thinking that this car was very impressive in person and the winning bidder went and saw it. Regardless, this is BIG money for a Spider Normale with the wrong engine. Well sold!

This car is essentially the same as my project Spider being a late 1300 in gray with red. Time to get to work.

Giulietta Spider 10103*170953. This car is available on eBay right now out of Florida. Seller says it’s a restored 1962 1600 Spider. It was really born in 1961 and was originally a 1300. It’s not a Veloce, so it doesn’t really matter that it’s not powered by its original engine.

This is the same color combo as my spider, red on gray, and in my humble opinion, probably the best color combo for an Alfa of this period. Bumper over riders have been deleted. Stance is perfect, hood, door and trim fit is as well.

Market 145: Giulietta SS 00347 in Belgium

Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00347. This car is available right now in Belgium from Marreyt-classics. It was assembled in France by Renault which means it has a glass brake fluid reservoir and a special build plate. It probably also has a town/country horn set up and would have had all yellow headlights.

This car is probably Bosphoro blue, one of the more common non red/white colors you find SS’s in. Sitting here in the sun this car looks excellent.

Market 143: RHD Giulia SS project

Update 9/15/09: This car sold for 16,100 pounds “inclusive of buyer’s premium” which I think means that the fees associated with the sale are included in this number. This is $26,500 in our US money and about what I would have predicted had it been on eBay instead of at a live auction in England. Assuming the buyer inspected this car before bidding, I imagine the condition of the body was better than expected from a rust point of view.

Giulia Sprint Speciale 10121*380459, 00121*00897. Bonhams will be auctioning off this Speciale on September 12th 2009 at their Beaulieu National Motor Museum auction. Bringatrailer brought this car to my attention and their write up is right on. Pictures are limited, but even the best pictures tend to be misleading. If you are looking for a right hand drive SS, make the trip to the auction.

I suppose you could turn that slotch into a number meatball. Other than being dirty it seems to fit together well and being an Alfa, it could probably be put on the road without too much fuss as just about every part needed is available and not expensive.

Market 142: restored 1600 Spider

Update 10/12/09: An offer of $30,000 has been accepted for this car. Well bought? Well sold? Who knows, I’m just surprised the seller got $1000 more than the Buy iy Now price from the first time around. Nice work!

Update 9/16/09: After failing to attract a bid at $29,000 the seller has relisted this car with the ante upped to $35,000. Makes perfect sense to me…

Giulia 10123*379928, 00112*11686. This car is on eBay right now with an opening bid/Buy it Now price of $29,000. The car has 7000 miles on a restoration. The mechanical specification is impressive and if everything is as stated, this is retail price for a good car. I’m not excited about the red paint, but would rather have a no nonsense usable car in a color I am not excited about than a car that needs a lot of TLC in a color I love.

Paint looks great, as does trim and shut lines. I need a set of these headlight rings! From this angle and with this camera it looks like it’s peering out of a goldfish bowl.

Market 141: Superb Silver SZ

Giulietta Sprint Zagato 10126*00067. This car, available now at Fantasy Junction, went through Bonham’s earlier this month and failed to sell with an estimate between $240,000 and $270,000. Current asking price is $268,500 which, after FJ takes their 6% cut and monthly boarding fees, puts the seller in the low end of the above estimate. FJ is a natural venue for cars that fail to sell at the Monterey weekend auctions, being close to the action and a very highly regarded outfit. I usually try to do a walk through a few saturdays after the big weekend to see what exotica has turned up.

A very subtle design, with function informing beauty at every intersection, and yet in all its spartan glory, it has headlight rings, grill trims and hubcaps ‘just in case’. A car in which to win the Targa Florio in or pick up your significant other for a night on the town.

Market 140: Some Rough Sprints

These Giulietta Sprints are part of that group of cars stashed away by the owner of a car dealership in Kaufdorf. The Swiss government has ordered the site cleaned up so the cars are being auctioned. These Sprints range from massive projects to seemingly ‘ran when parked’ cars. The Europeans seem to enjoy a good challenge, so maybe some if not all will be bought and put back on the road. I wouldn’t be surprised if they all go to one buyer, like Joop Stolze, for reasonable money.

This guy lost part of his nose ot cancer a long time ago. Plenty of good parts here or ambitious project.

Market 129: 750D 05382 red Spider project

Update 10/12/09: 4 bids, $8650, reserve not met. Kind of a bargain if it could be gotten around this price and you are not looking to go crazy ‘investing’ in a restoration. I’d drive it in this shape.

Update 2009/08/13. This car is back on eBay. Some new and honest pictures showing the state of things have been added. I wonder what happened to the $9000 BIN?

Update 2009/07/14: Apparently eBay was just used to get someone to email the seller and say “I’ll give you x dollars for it” because the auction was ended early. I received a reply that $9000 was the buy it now price so I’ll assume that is what it sold for.

Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*05382, 1315*44373. This red 1958 Spider project is on eBay right now out of Connecticut. Auction is minimal at best with the seller not even bothering to roll it out enough to take a picture of the back, but from what can be seen in the pictures it looks like a pretty solid example.

This is how you find them when they have been left alone. Would probably clean up and look pretty good with some polish and realignment of a few of the trim pieces.

Market 134: 750F Spider Veloce

Update 8/10/09: This car sold for $24,700 with 7 bidders in the hunt. The seller noted that the engine was incorrect and bidding seems to have taken this into account. This money seems about right for the car. There is a Veloce block on eBay right now that would be acceptible for this car, the new owner should consider snapping it up.

Giulietta Spider Veloce 1495*04178, 1315*44341. This Spider Veloce is on eBay from Brighton Motorsports in Arizona. It is listed as being numbers matching but it clearly has a Spider Normale series engine number, so either it’s not really a Veloce or the engine has been replaced. I suspect the latter since it comes with all the Veloce components installed and the Veloce engines were known to fail if not properly maintained. Also, Veloce’s tended to be built in pairs or groups and 04177 is a Veloce. I’ll check d’A&T tonight and update. I emailed the seller about this and they said they would note it on their auction but they haven’t yet. Some discussion has been made of this car on the Yahoo group for these cars and other discrepancies have been pointed out. d’Amico and Tabucchi say 04155 – 04229 are all Veloce’s so I think there is a good chance this car is a Veloce.

Nose ridge is shapely and blends to the edge of the grill nicely. Some guys take the stamped edge off the grill so there is a smooth transition between the body and trim. Between the grill and drivers side over rider the paint looks bubbly or textured by being sprayed over crud. Have a look before you buy.

Pushing Product 4: Models not included

You’ve all been waiting for this. I know because more than anything else I get emails with links to PG-13 auctions. Not too much ill-advised content here, just decent looking chicks hopefully earning a few easy bucks while trying to make some poor guy bid on the object at auction with his virility.

This is a kit car based on a Chevy Aveo. Girl on the right reminds me a bit of Christine Taylor. This picture is all curves. I wonder how much a gig like this pays?

Market 139: Low number Spider 750 D challenge

Update 8/10/09: 2 bidders, $51, reserve not met. I’d give the seller $100 for the front suspension components without hesistation. I have a feeling it will be a while before anyone decides to take this thing on. Hopefully some kind soul will keep it out of the rain until then.

Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*00808. Available out of San Rafael California on eBay right now is this project. Early number is a draw for some Giulietta lovers, especially since it gives admission to many events open to 57 and before cars. Doors, trunk and hood are included so $2500 buy it now is somewhat reasonable.

Not for the faint of heart finds definition here. Must have been quite an accident. I know of a Giulia SS like this.
