Update 3/21/11: This car is now listed by the seller in Hemmings. Price has been reduced to $32,000. Not a bad deal!
Original post 8/25/10: Giulietta Spider Veloce 10107 1495*10201. This car is available now in the San Francisco Bay Area for $39,875.   The seller has owned the car since 1985 and has been using it since. Engine in the car is not original and has been recently rebuilt but the original comes with the car.
Looks like a really nice patina on a well loved driver -the perfect compliment to my Sprint -alas I don’t have $40K burning a hole in my pocket…

Market 184: project Sprint 02880
Update 3/15/11: This car is now on eBay being sold out of Michigan. No new pictures are available.
More information on early style 750B Sprints.
2/2/10: Giulietta Sprint 750B 1493*02880, 1315*02671. This car, a 1956, is available right now from the seller of Market 179, another early Sprint project. Â Asking price for the pair is about $27,000. Â I can put you in contact with the seller if you want to figure out a separate price.
Paint was removed to assess body condition. Â Looks fairly straight under the current splotch. Â Is that a Jolly beside it? Continue reading “Market 184: project Sprint 02880”
Market #31: Restored 1960 Giulietta SS
Update 3/13/11: More pics from Bill.
Update 3/12/11: Not your usual resale tale here. This car sold for $140,000 + 10% at Amelia Island. Buyer was the Malamut Auto Museum in LA. Thanks for the tip Eric! Anyone have pics from the auction to share? Oh, and congrats to the seller on a big cha-ching.
A nice one from Bill Gillham, the restorer, who is no doubt proud of his work.
From the sellers own hand as the bidding passed the estimate.

Market #7: Giulia SS racer 380352
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 104: 101 Sprint Racer in Italy
Update 10/26/10: This charmer has found its way to the UK and can now be had for the same money it was before.
Most of the stickers have gone -two tone is still a little odd but works for a race prepped car.
Original post 4/8/2009: Giulietta Sprint 10102*160784. This racy fellow is available now on Classic Driver for 21,950 pounds (about $32,000 at time of writing) from a private seller in Italy.  If you are looking for a Sprint that’s not too dear to take racing this might be the right car for you. I’ve been thinking about going racing in my local vintage racing scene and this is the sort of car I would build.
Paintwork looks great as does all the trim. I’d be tempted to remove some of the grills. I like the color combination.

Markt 259: Nice Giulietta SS in the US
Update 10/19/10: This car is now on eBay and features a lot of pictures. Also, I had the VIN wrong -it’s 10120*177423 (link is to more pictures) with engine number 00120*01775. I wonder if the seller from Hemmings knew they were selling it to a dealer?
Update 10/4/10: Driversource bought this car, gave it a polish and now you can buy it from them for $59,500.
Update 9/9/10: I have received word that this car has been sold. You snooze you lose!
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*177423, 00120*01775. This car is for sale right now on Hemmings out of Belleville Michigan for $50,000 -not bad for a nice original car, just under 40K Euro’s.
Hello Gorgeous! I like them in white. Corner marker lights look a little far back on the fender, but maybe the one’s I’ve seen are too far forward.

Market 260: Giulietta SPRINT RACE CAR
Update 9/21/10: $4500 is pretty strong money for this car as parts unless the engine is as fresh and well built as the seller claims.
Giulietta Sprint 10102*155977. If you’re in the Orlando Florida neighborhood and a challenging Sprint project is just the thing for you then this charmer currently on eBay might do the trick. In truth this is a parts car or the sort of project a passionate but poor giuliettisti might toil on for a few years and maybe take to the level of being doable at some point in the future -either way -it’s not likely to be expensive. Does come with a fancy engine though.
Here I am -take me. It’s just sad that this is how what probably would have been a decent car if it had stayed hidden for a generation longer. Pieces are there, the nose it straight. Maybe.

Market 258: 101 Spider easy project
Update 9/16/10: $20,100 after 17 bids with reserve not met. Look for the follow up. I think video of it driving and audio of the engine woes might have helped.
Giulietta Spider 10103*170285. This car is on eBay right now out of Novi Michigan. Usually when I write about a car that I describe as a project it’s a challenging, rusty through and through hulk someone dredged from the bottom of a pond. Not so this car. The problem here is a rod knock in the engine requiring attention -what I consider an easy project
Great looking car. Paint is 30 years old but still shines, the only pitting described on the chrome is the windshield pillars.

Market 257: Series 1 750B Sprint project
Giulietta Sprint 750B 1493*05931, 1315*05350. This Sprint was posted for sale on the Alfa BB a few days ago out of Eau Claire Wisconsin. As can be seen from the pictures it’s a big project but the $5000 obo asking price is reasonable considering the matching numbers and state of the engine. I was tempted myself by this but then I thought about my soon to be departed SS’s and vow to only get into ‘easy’ projects and, well, here it is for someone else to go for.
This treatment reminds me of Market 228 Sprint -either it’s how they come out when a bondo mask is applied, or the same artist at work. But… it comes with a spare nose for grafting purposes. Yea… looks scary but it’s on wheels and lots of stuff is in place.

Radio blanking plates revisited
Derek in Australia sent me some scans from manuals that show radio blanking plates for the different models. These should be considered ‘correct’ for all you correctness worryists. Check it out.
This looks to be a post-Giugiaro go over Sprint like mine. Can’t tell what the badge in the middle is but will assume it’s the Alfa badge.
