Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*02549, engine 1315*42308. This Spider project is available now on eBay. From the description I am not sure exactly what you get besides the body, block and license plate w/title. Seller contacted the Alfa archive and received this response:
“According to our documentation files, the chassis number AR 1495.02549 and the engine number AR 1315.42308 originally correspond to an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider, Manufactured on the 9th of August 1957 and sold on the 18th September 1957 to Hoffman Motor Car Co. New York, USA. The body colour is red.”
It’s a Spider, that’s for sure. Is that bondo around the nose? Sweet.

Looks very good. It’s hard to get all the panels and trim pieces to align and be symmetrical after a repaint. Color is a little boring in my opinion, but I’m sure ‘classy’ in someone elses, at least it’s original.
A complete runner, very blue and pretty good looking. I was in my twenties and wanted a Giulia sedan in the worst way.
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.
Ouch and Ewww and scarry but doable. Presence of suspension and steering components is a bonus. How does this happen? 
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.
