750 and 101 series cars 1954 – 1965
Giulietta SS 10120.  Henrik sent me a link to this car selling out of Germany, with a note of surprise at the 255,000 Euro price tag.  Anyone know which car it is, or have any other pictures?
Could be 00001 or 00002 with a grill fitted. Â I think 00002 is more likely.
Update 12/12/12: Â Numbers added. Â Thanks Christopher for the fancy footwork. Â Matching-ish number car = more value, but how much more?
Looks correct. Â Clean block.
Only the early ones seem to have these build plates – usually US cars with the 10117 prefix.
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00142, 00120*00601.  At the bottom of the lower middle of the possibly viable Spring Speciale (typo theirs) spectrum sits this vin-not-disclosed SS out of Beverly Hills.  It’s actually more complete than this sort of thing is, but jeez – where’s it been??  Thanks Dan for making me aware of it.  Oh – and $44K is the operative range.
Everyone needs an SS at the bottom of their pond for the better part of the Rolling Stones career. Â It is and someone will go for it -it’s just work after all (work being a four letter word for money).
Update 12/8/12:Â Still available. Â Surprised? Â Me neither. Â This is a long uphill slog with a boulder on your back. Â 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.

Update 12/12/12: Â Sale but no sale at $60,000 then sale again at $50,000. Â If anyone found out the vin, let me know!
Giulia SS. Â This car is on eBay out of Georgia right now. Â It’s complete ‘original’ and very rough. Â Bidding has it at $60K. Â Why have I been waiting for this one? Â 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. Â He even started a blog about it. Â Odd, but I still don’t have the vin number of this car. Â 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.

Update 12/12/12:  It sold for $137,500. Can you make this out of a $50,000 project for another $85,000?  That’s the gamble I think a lot of guys are taking.
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00239, 00120*00634. Â This car is available on eBay from Drivers Source in Houston Tx. Â They’ve had some Giulietta’s in questionable condition over the time I’ve had this blog, but this one looks pretty good. Â It has an award in Portofino, so I suppose it’s a recent import. Â Check it out!
“Ruby” red meets foliage. Â Stance is a litte high. Shine is present and it is what it is. Â Bumper looks weird -kind of droopy on the ends. Â Â $137,500? Â You tell me.

Update 9/23/12:Â Sold for $40,750. Â Wheels sold separately for $2000. Â Other lots of Alfa stuff made good money too.
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00460. Â This car is being auctioned next week by RM’s Auctions America. Â This car appeared on the Alfa BB a few years back and a bit of information can be found there, including that it is rumored to have been the NY Auto Show car. Â I haven’t seen any trim for it or anything but I suppose what’s mentioned on the BB is included. Â It’s noteworthy that it has very very rare period alloy wheels. Â Was probably a $20K car when it was offered on the BB… who knows now.
Nice straight shell. Â Door fit is wonky, but its guides are undoubtedly in a box somewhere. Â Sweet wheels, have them inspected for cracks. Â I don’t think I’ve seen a set of these for sale since I’ve been keeping this blog. Â I’m sure someone will be tempted to buy this, take the wheels and a few choice bits for their project then send it on down the road…

Update 8/21/12: Sold for $138,000. Well, er, bought and sold. The journey continues.
Update 2/13/12: It is the same car -the vin has been verified. Sold for about €38,000 in 2006. Market has changed!
Update 2/12/12: I heard from a previous owner of this car -the vin is 10120*177259. He sold it into Spain 6 years ago. He’s not positive it’s the same car, but pictures indicate it most likely is.
Silver grill -yes. Same tires? I think so.
Definitely looks like the same engine to me. There you have it -a piece of the past puzzle of this car.
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120. This car is listed by Hyman Ltd, in St. Louis. No asking price, vin or other info is provided, but judging from the pictures it’s a nice car and knowing Hyman’s MO, it will undoubtedly be expensive. I looked through my files but was unable to find this car. Anyone know it?
Like Fantasy Junction and their brick wall, Hyman uses this stage to good effect. I wonder if it’s set up all the time? I’m helping a friend listing a ton of Jaguar parts from the 50’s and 60’s on eBay and we plan on setting up a permanent photo area. Note the screen behind the grill is in silver (or possibly chrome) -not original (if you care). Windshield wipers are parked on the opposite side form usual. Nice looking car!

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.
Bumpers 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.

Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00392. This car is currently listed on eBay out of Haverhill, MA and sits at $45,000. A note has been added at the end of the auction that it’s no longer available. Must have received an offer too good to pass up, while being spooked by the presence of a nicer Giulia SS on eBay at the same time.
The car itself is rough around the edges, but needs mostly light cosmetics and some missing original parts sourced to be taken to the next level. What level is that you ask? Nice driver maybe…
There is a gray spot on the roof with a corresponding exit wound in the headliner. They do look sweet without bumpers. Looks very nice!

Update 7/22/12: Available now from Motor Classic and Competition Corp. Interesting that this car has failed to find a home with so much demand for SS’s right now.
Update 4/2/12: Guess who’s available again? This SS. It’s now on the East Coast now, listed on Hemmings, and with a new fun asking price of $129,500. Does this herald the arrival of market malaise? Are we approaching a correction? How many SS’s at greater than $100K can the market support? Survivor-ship is high for a limited production car -probably approaching 15% documented on this site alone. Costs more than this?
Update 9/13/11: Again. I wonder how much they’ve spent on eBay auctions?? My advise to the seller – a change of venue after a few months pass. Maybe Amelia Island. Ebay is alright for 3 year old ipods and disassembled Sprints but a seriously nice SS? Time to move up into the major leagues. But what do I know.
Update 9/1/11: “We have made deals on this car twice on eBay now, only to have the buyer renege on his contract due to financial issues without seeing the car in person. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PURCHASE THE CAR before bidding, and especially before having us mail you sales documents and pull all of our advertising. If you are financing or running the car through a leasing company, make sure you are pre-approved. Each time this happens we lose other interested parties who ARE able to purchase the car. Thank you for your consideration.” That explains it. Rich guys drunk eBaying.
Update 8/26/11: As predicted, this car is on eBay again -this time with new improved pictures and lengthy description attached below. This is a great car, it’s just not going to go for Gooding money on eBay.
I know that bridge -about 15 minutes before you get to Big Sur when headed south on 1.
