750 and 101 series cars 1954 – 1965
Update 7/1/12: $9500. Not too bad for a fairly straight ’56 with the matching engine. You’ll see more from this car soon.
Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*00739, 1315*40574. This car is on eBay right now out of Denver. It looks fairly complete and in reasonable shape to restore. Will need a lot of work and $ to get it together, but as the seller states, these early cars do bring real money.
Looks like the usual ‘been apart for a while’ Spider project. Door fits well.
I got these color charts in an email from Sascha in Germany who has a 1700 GT. Now that I have the original palette to choose from, I am rethinking the color I should paint the car. It needs a lot of body work so a light color would be best. It looks to have originally been white and later repainted to red. I’m not interested in red, having had a number of red cars over the years. I like the idea of white, but my cousins GT is white. I go on about light blue and gray Alfa’s, maybe this is my chance to paint something one of those. I have alternately decided on light gold, metallic dark dray and metallic light blue, so maybe I should settle on one of those. Tough decision. What do you think? Post a comment with the color from the charts below you would paint a Glas GT if you were about to paint one.
Perlgrau and Aquamarin are pretty sweet.
How do you plan for a classic car restoration project? Do you do research, make lists -parts to buy, tasks to accomplish, money to spend, craftsmen to talk to? Or do you dive in and start taking things apart because your money supply and knowledge are vast? When I was working on the Giulietta SS I sold last winter, I had short term lists, but no long term list. I didn’t have a budget to meter out money, and I didn’t have a clear path to success. With my Glas GT project I am trying to do as much up front planning as possible.
Can’t have a post without an image right? This is the pilot bearing assembly in the end of the crank shaft. It is indeed a little needle bearing. Anyone have one of these special tools I can borrow?
