Update 1/8/11: This car is available again -this time it looks like it’s in Germany. The asking price is 41,900 Euro’s or a little over $54,000. The SS’s keep coming!
Makes me wonder if it really is in Germany…
Originally posted 5/13/2008: Giulia Sprint Speciale 10121-380352. Available through Alfaholics for 39,000 Euros, about $60,000 at time of writing. Entire text of the advertisement reads: “Body # 380352. LHD. Body excellent. Engine tuned at 150 BHP. Roll bar. Racing tuned. 2008 FIA papers. Ready for season 2008. This car has done Tour Auto many times. Price: € 39 000. Car is in Paris.” I assume an inquiry would receive a in depth account of the car. Details of the car reveal a decent car was used as a starting point to make a pretty serious FIA racer. I like the lightweight plexiglass windows and lack of trim and if it was a track only car I could live with the interior, but for street use I’d like a little more of a period look on the inside.
Always a nice profile. Wheels are later Sedan or GT items, the cheap way to put more tire under one of these without major body or suspension rework.

Market 285: Giulia SS 381347 at Gooding
Giulia SS 10121*381347. This guy, only a little distinguishable from the last two posts will be auctioned in Scottsdale at Gooding’s January 21st – 22nd auction. The estimate is $60,000 – $80,000.
This picture makes the SS look rather slender in profile. Very nice horizon reflection along the side.

Market 284: Giulietta SS 00228
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00228, 00120*00627. You may note that this is the fifth SS in a row I’ve found on the market and written about. Good time to be shopping for a nice one. This particular car is in Germany at Movendi -“The spirit of classic cars’. Price is 49,900 Euro’s or about $65,000.
I’m running out of words here. Nice, red, shiny, well turned out and with its hood slightly ajar. Cool.

Market 282: Nice original Giulia SS in Belgium
This Giulia SS is offered by Mecanic Import out of Belgium with a current listing on eBay for $56,000. The seller claims it is has “never received a ground up restoration, but kept in good condition over the years”. I see some trivial non-original stuff but all in all it looks like a great car. The fact that it is being marketed to the USA from Belgium makes me wonder if the market is going soft in Europe for SS’s. If that’s the case we may see a softening here in the US too. Hmmm.
Nice down-low perspective shot. Bright stuff looks -well- bright. Passenger side wiper arm looks a little wayward.

Market 281: Giulia SS project in France
This Giulia SS is in France and appears to be a better than average starting point. I think the deal is, they are starting to restoring it and are hoping to find someone to buy it now and choose a color, specification and whatnot. Whatever the case -it’s good to see these are still coming out of the woodwork.
What have we here… ah, a nice SS project lurking in the shadows.

Market 280: Giulietta SS racer
Marko sent me a link to this race prepped Giulietta SS, available on mobile.de, with a seller located in Italy. The asking price is 57,900 Euro’s or about $77,500. Seems like a lot, but there is no telling what was done to make it a race car. If anyone knows the VIN for this car, let me know.
The airbrush job on the background is interesting. Wheels are later small-hole Borrani’s.

2010 Sprint Speciale Market Review
Sprint Speciales are why I started this blog. Below are the 2010 SS sales I recorded including the sale of my own two cars. Seems like prices have gotten a little more realistic for middle of the road cars. Enjoy.
Market 250 was 2 cars, the cheaper of which was SS 10121*380211, quite rusty but with matching engine selling for $6500.

Market 271: early SS racer in Italy
Giulietta SS 10120*00215. This car is listed on Luzzago at the moment out of Italy. It has been modified quite a bit for racing but looks as though the removal of some decals and moving toward a more stock interior might yield a fun street racer.
Headlight covers aren’t my thing and the grill is from who knows what, but under here is an SS.

Market 268: SS project in France
Giulia SS. This project is currently available in France. I have to assume it’s not complete or they would have shown more pieces. Anyone here care to send me a translation of the ad?
Was red. Note there is a lot of the car missing below the A pillar in front of the door jamb. Maybe a door in the car?

Market 267: SS in Europe
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.
