Market 501: SS 381151 at Fantasy Junction “POA”

Giulia Sprint Speciale 10121*381151, 00121*01052.  Fantasy Junction, a respectable local to me seller of high end sports cars has this SS listed in their inventory, price: POA.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen them use this pricing convention – maybe it has something to do with last weekends rigmarole in Monterey and they didn’t want to be caught out if pricing moved in leaps due to an auction result.  I didn’t make it to Monterey – opting rather to hang out with my dad.  Any big Giulietta sales go down?

That is a great color on an SS.  So tempted to make an unflattering comment about Toyota dark metallic gray – better let it go though.  This car sits well, everything is where it belongs, and I am excited to go check it out in person – maybe they will let me test drive – who knows.  Anyone have POA I can borrow?

Market 490: RHD SS 381030 coming to Silverstone Auctions

Giulia Sprint Speciale 10121*381030, 00121*00578.  This rare RHD SS will be auctioned by Silverstone on February 22nd.  It’s a clean example if the pictures tell the truth.  I’m not sure why they are calling a mid-64 built car a 1967, but can speculate that it might have taken some time to go from Bertone to the RHD conversion folks and then to a dealer.  3 years?  I suppose it could have been a late 64 car sold in early 67.  Anyhow.

I like a good picture.  This is the view you get when you look up mid stoop after you drop your keys on a wet morning while approaching it to go motoring.  Description says it saw a bare metal respray recently.

Market 466: Shin’s SS 380596 for sale in California

Giulia SS 10121*380596.  This car is available right now from Shin Yoshikawa -a name you may recognize if you have or have seen one of those cool cut-away type illustrations of Alfa’s -I think I have one of his TZ2 posters.  This SS is a time-warp of a sort -having some detailing that most SS owners today would change -like the hot-roddy red and white interior.  Asking price is a reasonable seeming $100,000 -hard to say that considering the best ones were $40,000 when I started this blog.

??????????????????????

 

Looks nice. -especially hanging out with it’s older brother -a 10120.  Is that wind deflector red? Continue reading “Market 466: Shin’s SS 380596 for sale in California”

Market 460: Giulia SS 10121 380136. Worst yet?

Update 4/20/13:  15 bids.  $3326.  Wow.

Screen Shot 2013-04-20 at 12.14.55 PM

Giulia Sprint Speciale 10121*380136. Richard over at ClassicAlfa (whose products I use quite frequently) sent me a link to this auction.  The British Isles are detrimental to old cars if they are not ‘kept up’ and this one appears to have supported a blackberry hedge for a few decades before being picked up so it could be picked over for parts.

999 out of 1000 of you look at this and assume it’s hopeless, and one of you thinks… I can get a $3000 Spider body as underbody donor, buy all Biondi’s applicable repair panels and have someone who knows their way around rust repair who has an English Wheel glue it all together then make some exterior panels.  Where are you then?  $30,000?  I know, I know -but I mean really, if $130,000 is the going rate for good but not necessarily great ones, this is potentially doable in a profitable way -especially if you have contacts in places where skilled labor is affordable.   $T2eC16hHJIQE9qUHu0NkBRTIRmPRtQ~~60_32

I know of a similar one I can buy for less than $8000 that includes suspension, seats, etc, but is, like this, very very rusty. Continue reading “Market 460: Giulia SS 10121 380136. Worst yet?”

Market 459: Pretty Giulia SS in Florida

Giulia SS. This car is available out of Florida for $145,000 from Kirk F. White. If the engine is original there may be some meat on the bone for someone to buy and send this to auction -Giulia SS’s are bringing strong money at auction after all, and this one has one of the best color combo’s.  Of course it could go to a loving new home, but that never seems to be the case.  Anyone know the vin of this car?

Close to black blue in this one.  This photo set is a study in how much pictures can lie.  Great looking car, as I’ll continue to say.

2012 Sprint Speciale market review

The Sprint special market seems to have found its groove.  Hopeless looking cheap ones start at a little over $20,000, with doable, but tough ones coming on at about $45,000.  There is a strata in Europe where decent, well maintained cars seem to be readily available for $60,000 – $80,000, then at the top of the ‘regular’ SS’s are the nice US market cars between $125,000 and $150,000.  Of course Low-nose cars occupy the top of the top.Screen Shot 2012-12-24 at 7.19.03 AM

Market 242: frightening SS project 380956

Update 12/8/12: Still available.  Surprised?  Me neither.  This is a long uphill slog with a boulder on your back.  You would have to be a lucky guy who bought a project that came with an extra cars worth of trim etc.

Update 2/12/12: Elmar informs me this car has been relisted by Laurent with a reduced asking price of €8,900.  No less a crazy project!

French build plate.  Positive ID.  Someone somewhere will decide this is worth fixing.  Eventually.

Market 444: Giulia SS project -been waiting for this one

Update 12/12/12:  Sale but no sale at $60,000 then sale again at $50,000.  If anyone found out the vin, let me know!

Giulia SS.  This car is on eBay out of Georgia right now.  It’s complete ‘original’ and very rough.  Bidding has it at $60K.  Why have I been waiting for this one?  It was posted on the Alfa BB back in 2008 (here and here at least -if you search on other post by Steve, you’ll find more) when I was just starting out with this site.  He even started a blog about it.  Odd, but I still don’t have the vin number of this car.  Check it out.

Sweet sweet project.  No sign of the rot hat lies beneath.  Cool lights up front.  Go for it -only about $80K from restored.

Market 62: Restored Giulia SS 380024 (still) on the block

Update 8/13/12: Still available.  Description says it was restored from bare metal by Carrozzeria Touring.  Price is now “upon request”.  Maybe a good car to bring to the US and try and sell at auction for a profit?

Update 2/13/09: This car is now listed on Anamera at 59000 Euro’s.  They have included a statement that the engine is an 00121.

Oops:  I confused this car with another.  This one was not (to my knowledge) restored by a German and didn’t benefit from a parts car that was sold for 50 Euro’s.  Sorry.

Original post 11/24/08: Giulia Sprint Speciale 10121*380024, 00121*00128.  This car is available now out of Italy from Luzzago.  Car was restored by a German Gentleman who is said to have had a parts car that he sold for 50 Euro’s when the project was done!

The condition of this car is very good  and Luzzago has several mid-restoration pictures to assure you that things were done right where the body is concerned.

giulia20160020ss20196420azzurra2000220wBumpers fit very well in this picture, as does the hood and headlight rings.  I like the blue but it might be a little better if it had a little less baby in it.
