Sold! Car received 29 bids ending at $17,100 and seems to have sold. A good deal for he buyer if everything was as described.
Giulia Spider Veloce 101.18 AR390222, engine 00121*01752. This late Spider Veloce is on eBay right now. You don’t see original Spiders this clean very often with such regular old paintwork and straight trim with an even shine. California Black late is an unexpected bonus on a car being sold out of New Mexico.
At this point, 20 years into their development these Spiders were just filling a hole until the new Spider could be rolled out in full swing. The first Duettos had appeared and the GTC was available, though neither was being pushed.

These pictures are not very high quality but I have a contributor who is going to get better pictures if possible. I am into this color combo and may have to change my SS color plans, Black with Dove gray is spectacular!
Looks like a greasy Alfa engine to me. Note early Marelli distributor, I think this may be destined for the 1300.
Here I am at the first attempt, the easy out wasn’t so easy and even with a nut welded to the end it wouldn’t turn.
This is a neat car. The yellow reminds me of a Ferrari 275 GTB4 a friend used to have . I would lose a few of the stickers but other than that keep it how it is.
Ouch and Ewww and scarry but doable. Presence of suspension and steering components is a bonus. How does this happen? 
This is a no nonsense car, with clean lines and presentable trim. Black with red interior is among the better color combinations for these cars. I like the early cars like this that don’t have vent windows.
Here it is, cam timing adjusted, everything torqued and cam chain tensioned. I plan on dousing this all with oil before the initial start-up, probably a few weeks away.
This is the kind of car you want to buy if you can’t find a similar condition original car. Car was restored to a  straight, clean and functional condition then driven.  Everything should fit together and work nicely since it takes a kind of fine-tuning that can only be done a little at a time during  frequent use to get the most out of a mechanical restoration. 
Nose seems to have been bumped a few times, nothing serious though. Grills look good, hood fits okay and the lights have decent alignment. Market lights in the front side corners may indicate a European delivery car.
