I am reminded of the scene in True Grit when the guy wearing the bear skin asks if they want the body after the teeth are pulled -‘it must have some value’. Indeed. Buy this guy now out of Poland for about $1000.
Your forced to look at it and shrug -what do you do with it? Nice verdant countryside it lives in.

Market 270: Scrappy runner Sprint project
Update 1/12/11: Back for more on eBay!
Update 12/15/10: 19 bids with a high of $4459.44 left the reserve unmet.
Giulietta Sprint 10102*350206, 00102*30507. This car is on eBay right now out of New Jersey. Some small stuff is missing but all in all it is a fairly complete and worthy project -as long as the price doesn’t get too high -it’s under $600 as I write.
Nose is busted up but not too bad. I like this color on Sprints -there is one in my area this color and in person the color suits it very well.

Market 286: "Structurally Magnificent" 1600 Spider
Giulia Spider 1600 10123*378523, 00112*13849. Fantasy Junction, my local $ports and $pecialty car dealer, has in their showroom now this late 1600 Spider, a good example of why you try and buy a car out of California. As rust free as you could ask for and priced to match at $44,500. Their site lists it as ‘sale pending’ so move fast if this is your thing.
FJ always has this angle and for good reason -a handsome car made even more handsome. Looks good no?

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 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.

Market 279: Stripped and ready for action Spider
Giulietta Spider 10103 1713XX is on eBay right now out of Colorado. Car is stripped to expose all potential problem areas and all in all it’s better than most projects of this sort. Logistics of getting it home is probably more of an issue than condition here.
Nose has had the typical carelessness bumps, requiring some skill to repair. Color looks to have been gray.
