750 and 101 series cars 1954 – 1965
Giulietta Sprint 10102*350182. This car is listed on Anamera and is available now out of the Netherlands. It is described as a good runner/driver that needs some detail work to make it perfect. Price is 19,500 Euro’s, a little less than $25,500 at the time of writing.
Car was imported from the USA in 1992 and repainted then. Looks pretty good. Suspension is a little high in the front. Wears original white Carello turn signal lenses.
Update: I made a little Glas GT dedicated page above -check it out!
The Glas GT has a Weir type fuel system similar to the Porsche 911’s. Two single throttle-body Solex carbs are fed from a remote float chamber. Fuel pressure is maintained by a pair of mechanical fuel pumps operating off the same shaft. I haven’t worked out the fuel path yet but it looks like one pump keeps the float bowl fed from the gas tank, and the other pumps fuel to the carbs.
The finished product -well, almost, I still need to make some paper gaskets and get some little copper crush washers. Filter chamber covers have been plated and polished, screws just plated. Very nice!
Giulia Spider 1600. Kip sent me the link to this car on Craigslist. It’s rough, but only $3000. Probably sold by now!
The great American yard find. Note blue tarp and kid in the back ground.

Giulietta Spider 10103*370837. This car is available now from DriverSource in Texas. It wears an aging red respray, has some loose ends to tidy and is said to run and drive well. Ask is $34,900 -on the high side for a car with a dash this scruffy -but who knows…
Looks amazing here -but who wouldn’t with that backdrop. Front rim is a Borrani, rear is a Fergat.Â
Update 12/17/11: I’m still a little skeptical, but this car seems to have surfaced as a restored example in France for 32,000 Euro or $41,600. I’ve compared pictures and the drivers side mirror, gauges and shift knob look the same between both. What do you think? If it sold for $12,000, cost $2000 to get it to Europe, that leaves $27,000 to fix it up and try and make money over 18 months. If all it needed was rust repair, a respray and some catalog parts, maybe they’ll make money. I suppose it really begs the question of corners cut.
Lots of pictures to compare here.
No visual cues yet that it’s the same car.
Same wood shifter knob and yellowed tri-gauge. Neither is a rare thing. Interior looks okay -seat covers are wrong.
Other than being a lot cleaner, it could be the same engine compartment. Same radiator cap?
Update 11/11/09: This car has turned up at Steuel in the Netherlands. Price is not 11,500 Euro ($17,200 while the dollar lasts as the semi-universal currency). Let’s see, $1000 to get it across the water, add a few thou’ to it and the makings of a living can be seen. I’m surprised the hardtop wasn’t removed and sold separately.
Giulia Spider 375838 finds itself in a new country with a new language to learn and in the hands of people who have seen way worse rust.
Update 6/16/09: Amazing what can happen on eBay. This car ended at $12,200 with 22 bidders this time around. That is almost double what it reached last time with the same amount of bidders. Maybe someone really wanted the hard top! This car is in many ways not as nice as my car that I am asking $4000. I guess it’s time to put it on eBay.
Update 6/8/09: Apparently not sold, this car is once again on eBay though the seller has a different ID, not sure what that is about. Current bid is higher than the previous selling price and it’s only been on half a day. Seller has another Spider project, earlier, not as complete and a Veloce, that was listed at the same time. I think I would space the listings out if it were me, but there seems to be no shortage of Spider projects so it probably wouldn’t help.
Sorry about the lack of postings, I’ve been busy with other stuff and WordPress has been taking a LONG time to do/load anything so I get frustrated. Must be the large amount of stuff I have saved on their site.
Update 3/19/09: Car sold for $6250 with 22 bids. Probably well bought when everything is considered, especially the hard top.
Giulia Spider 1600 101.23 AR375858, Engine AR00502*15806 (Sprint GT). This little gem available on eBay right now out of Carlsbad California (near San Diego) re enforces the notion that ‘it’s always something’. Here we see a promising start with a complete car wearing very straight trim, a factory hard top, California Black Plates and a Sprint GT engine. While the engine is not original, with these ‘regular’ Spiders it doesn’t really matter so long as it runs. The something? This car is pretty rusty where it matters.
I could see just making this thing run and drive and then using it rusty bumpers (or no bumpers) and all. From this picture it looks like Carello’s chrome is longer lasting than Alfas and the grill eyebrows make me think it all should be stainless.

Update 12/25/11: 33 bids resulted in a sale price of $30,101.
Update 12/20/11:Â Oops, just added a link to the auction and Flickr photo set.
Giulietta Spider 10103*370548. This car is on eBay right now out of Georgia. Seller is a long time AROC member who restored the car in about 1990. It is in good condition cosmetically and is a turn key driver. No waiting for shops to get work done with this one -just fuel it up and cruise.
Red paint looks very good for being 20+ years old. Bright-work is all very dazzling. Rear view mirror is a late Sprint item. Top looks a little wrinkly -like it’s not used to being up. I certainly wouldn’t have it up ever -well, if I was parked outside in the rain…
Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*00140, 1315*40151 (missing, now 1315*011042). This very early number 1956 Spider is available now from Classic Investments in Englewood Colorado. No price is stated.
Nose is about average for a nearly stripped to a shell Spider. Red over white over blue -how patriotic. I wonder if that medium blue is the original?
Update 12/20/11: 18 bids, $10,211, Sold! Such a deal, one of the better I’ve seen.
Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*03719, 1315*43479. This car is on eBay right now out of Conklin, NY. It’s the most apart of the Spiders I’ve posted the last few days, but it looks to be the most solid and straight-forward of the lot to build. The reason it is so apart is it was underwater during a flood in 2006. Seller is very forthwith about this and the condition of each assembly and how it has been affected.
Body looks very good as a place to start. Wheels are Borrani’s. I always wondered what happened when classic cars got flooded.
Giulietta Spider Veloce 750F 1495*03409, 1315*30905 (missing, 40168 included): This car is available from Beverly Hills Car Club for $29,500. Car is in okay condition, being generally solid and attractive, but having a lot of questionable repairs in evidence, and in need of a lot of mechanical work.
Paint looks to have been competently applied. Chrome parts need chrome. Hood fits pretty good. Not sure what the holes in the bumpers are all about.

Update 12/20/11: Reserve not met. It’s a Veloce. It’s rough. It’s a Veloce. It’s incomplete. It’s a Veloce. It’s…
Giulietta Spider Veloce 750F 1495*05994, 1315*32354 (missing). This car is on eBay right now from Wholesale California in Costa Mesa. It spent the better part of it’s existence in a field in Washington and it shows. Lots to fix, but it is a 750 Veloce! Original engine is missing, but a blank block is included, not sure if it’s a 750 or 101. Car is listed on their site for $15,900.
Just looks overly scruffy in this view. Trim is all pretty decent when you consider the elements.
