Giulietta Spider 10103 171428, 00102*28465. This car is available now on Craigslist out of Daytona Beach Florida. Looks pretty good in the low-res CL picks. If you’re in the area, and looking for one, this might be a good car for you.
Oh so shiny and bright. Florida is probably a good place to drive a sweet convertible like this.

Market 286: "Structurally Magnificent" 1600 Spider
Giulia Spider 1600 10123*378523, 00112*13849. Fantasy Junction, my local $ports and $pecialty car dealer, has in their showroom now this late 1600 Spider, a good example of why you try and buy a car out of California. As rust free as you could ask for and priced to match at $44,500. Their site lists it as ‘sale pending’ so move fast if this is your thing.
FJ always has this angle and for good reason -a handsome car made even more handsome. Looks good no?

Market 279: Stripped and ready for action Spider
Giulietta Spider 10103 1713XX is on eBay right now out of Colorado. Car is stripped to expose all potential problem areas and all in all it’s better than most projects of this sort. Logistics of getting it home is probably more of an issue than condition here.
Nose has had the typical carelessness bumps, requiring some skill to repair. Color looks to have been gray.

Market 275: Refreshed red Spider in California
Giulietta Spider 10103/4 1495*08598. This car is on eBay right now out of Moss Beach California. Seller describes as it as a street quality restoration -I’d call it more of a refresh, but either way it’s a nice car with no immediate needs and the bones to be a really nice car with some attention to detail focused fiddling.
Paint almost looks wet. Door and hood shut lines look really good. Chrome is described as all new. A Ducati 900 SS beside it?

Market 277: 1300 Spider Project in the snow
This unidentified Giulietta Spider sold recently on eBay for $4550 after 15 bids. Sale included an extra engine and some other stuff. If anyone caught the vin number of this let me know!
This is a good ‘as found’ shot. Worth restoring just so you can show this picture beside the finished car.

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 258: 101 Spider easy project
Update 9/16/10: $20,100 after 17 bids with reserve not met. Look for the follow up. I think video of it driving and audio of the engine woes might have helped.
Giulietta Spider 10103*170285. This car is on eBay right now out of Novi Michigan. Usually when I write about a car that I describe as a project it’s a challenging, rusty through and through hulk someone dredged from the bottom of a pond. Not so this car. The problem here is a rod knock in the engine requiring attention -what I consider an easy project
Great looking car. Paint is 30 years old but still shines, the only pitting described on the chrome is the windshield pillars.

Market 254: Spider Spider "Black Plate"."Desert Find!"
Update 9/7/10: This car sold for the buy it now price of $13,900 after 20 bids and a full run at auction -would’ve saved someone some trouble to just have gone for it right from the start.
Giulietta Spider 10103*171756, 00102*28201. After a mere 4 clicks (home, motors, used:alfa, this listing) from their homepage you can be looking at this car on eBay right now (or you can click on the link). It’s in Northridge California which makes me think it’s the same seller as the first who offered M213 on eBay. Buy it now is a probably realistic $13,900.
Don’t let the cops see this thing parked in a handicap spot unless it’s a spot for handicapped cars. Door and hood shut lines look about right. Yellow looks like the yellow used to ‘colorize’ black and white movies in the 80’s. Continue reading “Market 254: Spider Spider "Black Plate"."Desert Find!"”
Market 252: Barn find interim Spider 10104
Giulietta Spider 10104*09081. Sheesh! I go on vacation for 4 days and I somehow miss an auction entirely. This car was on eBay for about 5 minutes and has apparently been sold. Closing bid was $3950 -not sure if that was the selling price. Without further ado…
“Four score and tewnty years I spent locked in this thankfully dry and heated garage waiting for rescue…” Looks like a good car! Has Lucas (or Lucas type) mirrors. Dig that hard right pointing driving light.

Market 232: VSCCA 101 1300 Spider
Update 7/26/10: 2 bids, $33,000 selling price. Not bad.
Giulietta Spider 10104 1495*09366. This Spider racer is for sale on eBay right now out of Putnam Valley, New York. Seller states it has a VSCCA log book, runs great and is ready for action. Price is a little higher than I would think but it is rust free and race engines are expensive to build well, so maybe the $35K option will be exercised.
Red on green is always a good look. This car is very low. I like the grill bars only look.
