Update 11/26/11: I got some more pictures from the seller. The trunk rust situation is worse than I expected -not horrible -just needing attention. Still, it could be a good deal for the money. Throw them an offer -it may stick.
This could be patched, but replacement would be cleaner. Not the biggest job in the world and not really a sign that the rest of the car is rusty. My Sprint had it’s trunk floor replaced and you’d be hard pressed to find rust anywhere else on it.
Update 11/12/11: Seller has received some interest but it’s still available. $13,000 obo?
Giulietta Sprint 10105*21453. This car is available right now out of Southern California for $14,000 obo. It is fairly original, with blue paint over original white and original drivetrain. Interior is decent but the seats are not original. There is a tiny bit of rust in the trunk battery corner and in the corner of the rear windshield, but nothing unusual or terminal. If you’re in California and looking for a very good car to fix up as a driver project -this is your car.
A better shade of blue than the preceding SS. Car looks straight and solid here -you may get away with a quick respray of the nose and tail. I’d make it mechanically sound and drive it as is.

Market 331: Project Spider 750D 03930
Update 11/20/11: Car actually did sell for $6500 and is headed for a new life in Germany. Thanks for the update Richard!
Update 11/19/11: Car failed to sell. I don’t know how much of an appetite there is for Giulietta projects in he world, but if what I’ve tracked is any indication, there are a lot of them in the works right now.
10/26/11: Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*03930, 1315*43426. This car is on eBay right now out of Novi Michigan from a seller that seems to regularly offer Alfa’s. Condition is rough, as you see, but I’ve seen projects start with a lot worse and it does come with quite a few parts still attached and the right engine. $7500 Buy it Now or Make offer is the asking.
Seller claims the body is nearly rust free, but everyone’s opinion of what that means is a little different so ask questions, examine the pictures and if possible, go have a look. Door fits very well and the nose shape looks original. Windshield is said to be uncracked.

Market 332: Rough Giulia SS in Italy
This car is available right now on Italian eBay. It appears to be very complete and very rusty. I think pictures of this car were on the AlfaBB a few months ago. One of the Italian readers care to call the seller and find out which car this is? As a restoration object it’s going to be a challenge. As a parts car it will be very helpful and yield a lot of extras that can be sold off. Check it out.
It’s a shame. This was probably a nice car that suffered a minor fault, was parked and let to rot. Someone will take this project on and spend a mint -at least it’s worth big $ when done.

Market 307: Don't blink or you'll miss 750E 06600
Giulietta Sprint Veloce ‘Confortevole’ 750E 1493*06600, 1315*31079. This very complete and very rough and one of about 200 so very rare SVC was on eBay for all of about 2 hours before being purchased, Buy it Now for $12,000. Seller listed the car in Columbia, SC. Thanks Corey for pointing it out!
Pulled from what would have been a leafy death just in the nick of time. Headlights look like original Carello units. Hood fits great. Door hinges work. No evidence of rubbing noses with anyone too aggressively. Hints of bluette paint? A winner!
Yep -$12,000 smackeroo’s. A good deal? I’m going to say yes, would have been a solid deal at the $20,000+ it would have made if it had sold through the usual 7 day auction. One of these cars hasn’t changed hands in a while -especially in project form on the open market.

Market 303: 1600 Spider racer project
Update 4/21/11: 20 bids resulted in $3050. About right I suppose.
Originally published 4/13/11: Spider 1600 10123*378082. This car is on eBay right now out of Florida. Car has 7 bids at a price of $1000 as I write this. Good to see sellers who understand the value of eBay is in starting low and hoping competition for the product occurs. Car is your usual budget prep neglected track day project needing lots of help.
One of the unfortunates -beaten and abused from living fast in its youth. Ready now for some respect and care.

Market 306: 2 Sprint package deal in Greece
Giulietta Sprint 10102*156687 & 750B 1493*09653. Dimitrios sent me an email letting me know this pair of cars was available from a private party in Greece for €31,000 -about $44,700. The first car is a good driver without the original engine and not a Veloce according to d’Amico and Tabucchi. Second car is all apart and in bare metal. Some of the more prominent trim can be seen in the pictures as can some duplicate mechanical stuff, but no mention is made of an engine or transmission. If you’re interested, send me an email and I’ll get you in contact with the seller.
First the driver. Externally this car is in good shape with excellent panel fit, very fine trim/chrome and that purposeful poise of a car that gets used. There are several pictures of this car in the Flickr set (click on the VIN to go there) participating in an event in Greece.

Market 302: Spider Veloce starter project
Giulietta Spider 10107 1495*07526. This car is available now from Jack L Hunt Automotive in San Rafael via Hemmings. Car is the odd combination of a transition 1300 Spider Veloce and a 1600 Normale engine. Seller says it comes with California Black Plates. Cool! Asking price is $24,500, only $74,500 cheaper than slightly younger sibling 07600 who made $99,000 at Amelia Island recently.
Great shut lines! Drivers door shuts as well. Nose is pretty good too.

Market 300: Spider racer project in Florida
Giulietta Spider 10103*171108. This car is on eBay right now out of Florida. Car would originally have had an 00102 series 1300 engine but auction includes a 00121 1600 Sprint Speciale/Spider Veloce engine and an unnumbered 1600 replacement block. Price is $23,500 to start and seller expects local pick up only -good luck with that.
Car looks pretty cool. Door and hood fit is excellent. I wonder what provenance this has as a racer.

Market 297: Giulietta SS at Steutel
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00358. This car is available right now from Jan Steutel in the Netherlands. Not much is said about the condition, but from the looks of it, it has seen some work. I sold the previous owner a rear bumper spear that was a duplicate from my SS project, which is where I got the picture prior to paint and the VIN number. Asking price is 14,500 Euro -not bad really if it’s as complete as stated.
SS body on a dolly in an industrial looking neighborhood. The front fender wheel arch swooshes seem to have been trimmed or something.

Market 294: SS Low-nose 10120*00078 (sold)
Update 3/18/11: The seller sent me more pictures so click on the link below (the vin) to check them out.
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00078, 00120*00029. I get emails all the time from people with Giulietta’s of all stripe, this is the first Low-nose SS. Dimitrios in Greece commented on the site then followed with an email with these pictures attached. I was in the middle of a busy February (11 days in Spain, driving across the USA in a moving van etc) and by the time I got around to writing about this car it has been sold -or at least a hand-shake agreement has been made for its sale.
Early 70’s Spider nose fits surprisingly well. Wheels are late 101 Borrani’s if I’m not mistaken. It also looks like the windshield trims, front and back are missing. I used to have extras.
