Update 3/30/09: This car endded with 2 bids at $4000 reserve not met. I think a few more revealing pictures (underside, floors etc) and a clear statement about the engine (numbers, completeness and condition) would see this car get bid up a little higher.Â
Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*04751. This car is on eBay right now out of Pittsburg PA and represents a fairly average Spider project considering what’s gone through eBay the last year. Seller states that the buyer has a choice of engines, either a dry sump (?) 00551*02329 or one that is “more original”. As always I would want a lot more pictures, or to make a personal visit before I committed to buy, but it’s pretty clear this car is incomplete and needs work done to everything. On the bright side you end up with a rare  early Giulietta Spider when you’re done.

It’s a Spider, that’s for sure. Is that bondo around the nose? Sweet.
This is a no nonsense car, with clean lines and presentable trim. Black with red interior is among the better color combinations for these cars. I like the early cars like this that don’t have vent windows.
