Market 420: 1600 Spider Veloce red/black/red 10118*390692

Update 7/1/12: This car did pretty well, selling for very close to the initial BiN price.  Anyone here the new owner??

Alfa Giulia 1600 Spider Veloce 10118*390692, 00121*02141. This car is on eBay right now from a seller who has brought us a few really good Veloce projects over the last few months. Car has had one owner, and an ill-advised repaint in red, but other than that looks to have been a fairly well cared for and respected member of the family.  Seller is correct that a repaint in black would do wonders for this car.  Unless there are hidden rabbit holes, the $48,500 buy it now seems only a tad high.

Car looks great.  Those mirrors in that location are sort of like a bull-ring in the nose of an otherwise pretty girl, or an invitation for Godzilla to step on it.  Door shut lines are very good.  Note to self -take pictures of a red car on lush green grass.

Market 410: Spider Veloce 750F 06681 in NL

Giulietta Spider Veloce 750F 1495*06681, 1315*32551. Henrik made me aware of this project Spider available in the Netherlands from Strada e Corsa.  No price is mentioned, nor is there any indication whether it has its original engine, but it looks okay if you’re into this sort of project where every nut bolt and washer needs attention.  Have a look around the sellers website -lots of neat stuff!

White sure minimizes problems with body work.  This car looks to have seen some abuse from parking or more likely time spent in a not very careful storage situation.

Market 403: Spider Veloce 750F 02029

Update 3/28/12: This car did pretty well at $48223, and with some detailing may have gone higher.

3/13/12: Giulietta Spider Veloce 750F 1495*02029, 1315*30721.
Instead of the usual busted up Spider I frequently get to write about, this nice early Spider Veloce, built in mid-1957 is on eBay right now.  It’s a nice car -not necessarily correct to a fault, or finished to such a high standard you are afraid to drive it, but much better than average and mechanically sound.  Car was originally black with red interior, but it’s currently Celeste with black -not very often that an Alfa is not original color and yet not redone in red. I hesitate to guess a value -just keep in mind one of the high priced cars of 2011 was a Celeste 1958 Spider Veloce in driver + condition.

This picture could be a lot better, but shows you what to expect to show up in a big cardboard box in a few weeks if you buy it.  Good shut lines, good trim -ready to playboy it around Hollywood.

Market 399: Spider Veloce 750F 04164 project in Germany

Update 4/6/12: Not sure being in Germany helped this car much, but someone bought it and an expensive process is probably being planned right now.

Giulietta Spider Veloce 750F 1495*04164.  This car is on eBay out of Germany right now.  It is rusty, incomplete, modified -basically right on the verge of viability -but it is a Veloce and does come with a lot of parts.

I think what happens is someone very enthusiastically tears a car apart -starts doing work, bills get bigger than expected, parts get misplaced and the next thing the car knows it’s covered in surface rust on eBay with a trunk full of parts.  Note wheel arch in the rear has been modified -might be a bondo ramp -might be a beautiful sheet-metal sculpture.

Market 397: julieta sprint velocy

Giulietta Sprint Veloce (?). I guess the title says it all. This car is available through Kajiji out of British Columbia for offers in the neighborhood of $30,000. The title makes me wonder about the owners involvement with the car. Still, a Sprint Veloce with a decent recent repaint and some new chrome is pretty interesting if the drive train is original.

I guess this answers the question of what you do with the extra little bit of red paint in the gun are answered. The tail pipe?  Paint that shit red.  The wheels?  Them too!  Big question is… is this a garage sale or what?

Market 309: Stunning Celeste Spider Veloce 750F 03861

Update 1/6/12: I feel like I’m watching a rocket take off at Cape Canaveral.  This car has been listed by Colin’s Classic Cars in Milwaukee for $125,000.  It looks like some work has been done to tighten it up but it didn’t seem to need anything the last time it sold. It remains stunning and it remains one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of writing about.

Can this car have appreciated $54,900 in 7 months?  I hope we find out, and hold on to your hat if it has.

Market 361: Black Spider Veloce 750F 05144

Update 1/12/12: This car has sold.

Original post 1/5/12: Giulietta Spider Veloce 750F 1495*05144, 1315*31935.  Fantasy Junction has this car in stock right now for $79,500.  Fit and finish look pretty good, but some non-originality including color combo, intake, steering wheel and transmission, may put off some buyers.  The caretakers of this car mentioned in the ad are well known for quality work, so it should drive well.  California black plates are a nice addition as always.

I’ve looked down this sidewalk a few times.  Looks good up here.  Hood fit is slightly biased toward the left side.  You don’t see amber markers on 750’s very often.

Sprint and Sprint Veloce 2011 market review

2011 saw more SS’s on the market than Sprint/Sprint Veloce’s -at least as far as my tracking went, and I didn’t really try to find SS’s more than Sprints.  Seems odd, since there were 10X more Sprint’s made.  If you look at the list below you will see very few first series 750B’s, no lightweights and only a couple non-lightweight Veloce’s changed hands -the bulk of the sales were 101 normale’s like mine.  Of those a few made really decent money.

 Market 287 was a Sprint in a sorry state out of Poland for $1000.

 Market 325 was a 101 Sprint selling as a pair with a stepnose GTV, sold together for $3748 -I’ll give the Sprint the benefit of the doubt and say it sold for $2000.

Market 356: Spider Veloce project 10642

Giulietta Spider Veloce 10125*10642. Alejandro made me aware that this car is available now out of Florida from a listing on the Alfa BB.  It’s a US market Spider Veloce and would have had an 00106 series engine with 40DCOE’s rather than 40DCO3’s.

I like how pictures like this force you to look differently at something since it’s orientation is unusual.  This nose looks pretty good.  One would want to touch and knock on it for bondo, but they all seem to have it.

Market 355: Barn find Spider Veloce 02264

Update 12/31/11: Sold for $30,100!

Giulietta Spider Veloce 750F 1495*02264, 1315*30740. Brad pointed out that this car just popped up on eBay out of Connecticut. As far as Spider Veloce projects goes, this car just about has it all -1957 build date, matching numbers, correct intake system including 40DCO3’s, seats with tracks, moderate rust, and overall decent completeness.  It’s still a project, and as such maybe a road to ruin, but among projects, it’s not too bad.

Looks like a really good car -maybe wax it, vacuum the spiders out of the engine compartment, iron the carpets and away you go.  Hood fit is really good.
