Sold! 33 bids and an ending price of $8700. Almost exactly what I sold mine for a few years back. If it can be brought to life and put on the road without much fuss then a very good buy.
Giulia Spider AR10123*373944, Engine 00112*04458. Available now on eBay is this 1962 Spider. Seller says it doesn’t run but rolls and steers fine.  Rust is reported to be limited to the shelf behind the seats and the hood edges. From the pictures it appears this car has the 3 shoe drum brake set-up and a later split case 5-speed. No mileage is stated but these cars seem to accrue about 80 – 100,000 before they are taken off the road for lack of some small repair only to turn up as barn finds 20 years later.
I owned a 1962 Spider very similar to this car. It was a single carb 1600 with a split case 5 speed and 3 shoe drum brakes (you can read about it here). It had similar patina but no rust. The engine looked about the same and with a little coaxing came to life easily enough.
Originally white, now red, with over-spray all over the place. Looks like a straight forward honest car, not quite a wax and go, but almost. All the trim is in place and there are no obvious problems.

Handsome little guy whose sporting look would probably be improved by removing part or all of the extensive front bumper, though it may upset the steering geometry to lose all that weight up there. Bumper is reminiscent of an SS front bumper. I’d be surprised if the paint color wasn’t the very same red as my 59 Sprint.
