Update (later the same day): Okay -I know this car because Jay drove it on the Melee in 2000 or 2001.
Giulietta SS. Marko sent me a link to this one. I get the feeling I’ve seen it before but can’t remember when/where and don’t have time to peruse the last 30 months of markets to find out -I wonder if it’s a local car I was trying to track down last Spring out of Stockton Ca? It’s listed as a 1962 and by the look of things it is in decent shape though not very original, with a 36,000 Euro asking that makes some sense.
Script in its mouth is odd. This is pretty close to the effect I was going for with my SS had I followed through with it. Wheels are later 105 items. Has a roll bar and the headlight rings don’t look quite right -maybe Fiat 124 items which work fairly well on SS’s.
Markt 259: Nice Giulietta SS in the US
Update 10/19/10: This car is now on eBay and features a lot of pictures. Also, I had the VIN wrong -it’s 10120*177423 (link is to more pictures) with engine number 00120*01775. I wonder if the seller from Hemmings knew they were selling it to a dealer?
Update 10/4/10: Driversource bought this car, gave it a polish and now you can buy it from them for $59,500.
Update 9/9/10: I have received word that this car has been sold. You snooze you lose!
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*177423, 00120*01775. This car is for sale right now on Hemmings out of Belleville Michigan for $50,000 -not bad for a nice original car, just under 40K Euro’s.
Hello Gorgeous! I like them in white. Corner marker lights look a little far back on the fender, but maybe the one’s I’ve seen are too far forward.

Market 250: SSweet projects o' mine
Giulietta SS 10120*00413, 00121*02334 & Giulia SS 10121*380211, 00121*00271. Liquidation sale!! Well, sort of… I am in the first months of a new business venture I helped start and have spent exactly *zero* hours on my SS projects since it started. I have more excuses but that one is the most immediate. In the case of the Giulia it’s not hard to part since we barely got to know one another, but the Giulietta has been a needy companion for a few years and saying goodbye will be hard. I’ve started down this path a few times -selling my projects that is- but just couldn’t do it when it came right down to it. This time will be different I hope.
The first picture I ever saw of my Giulietta Sprint Speciale. This car is a lot less rusty than I thought it would be when I bought it. The black finish is a very tough rust encapsulator that I have cursed countless times.
Not the first but one of the first good pictures of the Giulia. Lots more pictures here.

Market 208: 1960 SS in NL
Giulietta Sprint Speciale. This car is available right now from VSOC in the Netherlands but Anamera has better resolution pictures and more information. This car looks about right for the 39,750 Euro ($53,700 at time of writing) asking price. If anyone talks to the seller, let me know what the VIN is please.
As the maker intended. There is some photo distortion that makes the fenders appear to rise up from the door gaps. Very nice paint and trim. Those look like repro headlight rings.
Market #2: Giulietta SS project 00237
Update 2/1/10: This is a detail of writing market reports that I hadn’t really anticipated. An update from the purchaser of a car with some progress pictures. This car originally sold in May of 2008 and the owner has just gotten it back from the media blasters. Makes me think I should get mine blasted. Very cool!
I think I need a rotisserie.  The rockers look very good.
Market 171: SS 10120*00474 in Europe.
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00474, 00120*01042. This car is available now on several European classified listing services. Price is 35,000 pounds -about $56,900 at the time of writing. I have this car on the Production and Register page as being in the USA, I guess it’s on the move.
I have decided against red, mainly because my Sprint is red, but this car has me reconsidering. Appearance of this car is what you would expect for an expensive example. I almost just typed that this car is a mid-range car after yesterdays $125,000 effort. This is a good solid ready to use car.
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.Â

Market 131: Dad’s Giulietta SS, #455 up for sale
Update 7/20/2009. Car sold for $27,102 making my SS project seem insanely overpriced and ambitious. I say this car was very well bought and will probably represent a bargain, then again, I haven’t seen a really strong verifiably sold SS in a while, perhaps the market has cooled. What do you think?
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00455, 00120*00964. This car is on eBay right now out of Florida from the son of the long time owner. Condition is to my eyes enviable as I like the archaeological aspects of cleaning up a car that has been off the road for awhile. This car is the perfect example of what ‘easy restoration’ should mean.
It’s an SS, of course it’s good looking. All the nose trim looks well fitted and correct. White is a good color on these cars. Note windshield trim is missing.

Market 124: Selling my SS and Spider
Giulietta Spider 10103*370645. Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00413. I am streamlining my operation, or, I suppose you could say simplifying my life while simultaneously lowering my overhead. My goal at the end of the year is to have, gasp, one Alfa (no Fiats or vintage Toyotas) and no Second Mortgage. Which Alfa is it going to be? Probably the Sprint, but even that is not totally decided. I am starting with the Spider and SS because they are frankly the easiest to let go. Check out my For Sale page for more details. I’ll post inventories of what comes with each next week.
 The nose and it’s nice original paint coming out.
Market 108: Well traveled Giulietta Sprint Speciale
Update 4/21/09: This car sold for $38,300 with 10 bids. I am very surprised at this result. This is a nice car than can be driven immediately! The two tone silver car needed a lot and sold for $3000 less than this. The white Giulia SS is probably in similar condition to this but hasn’t been used much and the seller of that car wants $47K FIRM (his caps).  Bad timing maybe? Who knows. Well bought I say if the seller lets it go.
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*177380, Engine 00120*01735. On eBay now is this very nice example from right here in California. I seem to remember this car selling via the AlfaBB a few years back (before I started this blog) for about $22K with engine teething problems and 69 GTV seats, I looked in emails past and found an inquiry about it by me on 9/14/05. To look at it now and by the description, it sounds like the seller took it on and improved everything that needed improving.
I kind of like it without the grill wiskers. Car is so blue here it almost looks black. Nice. Seller states grill whiskers are included and in good shape.
