Update 4\/20\/13:\u00a0<\/strong>Hard to argue with the same result twice.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

Update 3\/31\/13:\u00a0<\/strong>This car has turned up on eBay again<\/a>. \u00a0Although it has been 14 months since it was listed, the same pictures are being used. \u00a0I don’t think the market for a Spider like this has moved up much, so I suspect a similar result to the last time. \u00a0I like the last line of the ebay description: “Look close, see the reserve? See the buy it now? I didn’t think so, there is NOT a buy it now, and the reserve is private. That’s how I thought it worked. I am an honest guy, selling an honest car, running this AUCTION honestly. I don’t want to play any games. Thank you.”\u00a0 I’m not sure how effective coming across as prickly is as a first impression, but then the notion of an ‘online persona’ is generally accepted.<\/p>\n

Update 1\/9\/12: <\/strong>$15,101 is the sale price after 5 bids.\u00a0 That’s pretty solid money.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Giulietta Spider 10104*09537<\/a>. <\/strong>This Spider is on eBay<\/a> out of New York with a starting bid of $8,000.\u00a0 Condition is pretty reasonable as the start of a light ‘run it as is’ type project.\u00a0 Seller says it doesn’t run currently and has had some floor repairs.\u00a0 It comes with a hardtop that is one of the made in California FiberFab (??) type.\u00a0 I like the license plate!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It really doesn’t look bad.\u00a0 It could be the basis of a decent driver without much fuss.\u00a0 The engines can always be made to run, but will probably require a minor overhaul.\u00a0 I like them without the grill ‘eyebrows’..<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Paint looks lumpy, bumpy and not all that great.\u00a0 Red is forgiving though, and you could probably get away with running this paint job for a while.\u00a0 After all, you’d be the only one who knew how it really was.\u00a0 Wheels are all Fergat, bucking the mix and match trend of late.\u00a0 That’s an Abarth badge.\u00a0 Odd that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

White walls just don’t suit a Giulietta.\u00a0 I think of them as tires used on low rider boulevard tourer’s, not nippy little sports cars.\u00a0 This all looks reasonable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cream of mushroom soup brown is an interesting choice.\u00a0 Much better than a bunch of rust to repair!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Steering wheel is in great shape.\u00a0 I guess a suicide knob is an alright accessory for an Alfa -if it’s legal in your area.\u00a0 Gauges look really good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am having trouble deciding if they are real Giulietta Spider seats.\u00a0 What do you think?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

“True barn fresh (or stale) Alfa Romeo Spider Giulietta. This car has been in\u00a0our family\u00a0since the mid 1970’s.\u00a0 We pushed it outside for the pictures, it is the\u00a0first time in over 30 years the car has seen sunlight.\u00a0 Approximately 40 year old amatuer repaint showing age.\u00a0\u00a0This Alfa was\u00a0a good runner when stored, but as of listing, the engine does not turn. Has had some floor repair, the red respray is on top of\u00a0the\u00a0original dark blue. It has both a\u00a0soft top and aftermarket hard top. Take a good look at the pictures, ask a lot of questions and accept my invitation to come and kick the tires. What you see is what you get. Again, look at the pictures closely, it is not a show car, but hey, weren’t you looking for a winter project?\u00a0Yes, project, but a\u00a0very good start compared to others offered recently on ebay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why does it have an Abarth emblem on the right side?<\/span><\/p>\n

No buy it now, don’t ask.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will not discuss reserve, don’t ask.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s all there and together which puts you ahead of the game.<\/strong>\u00a0 I don’t see anything glaring to complain about.\u00a0 Might not take much to make it run.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Underhood insulation has gone missing, but that’s a minor offense.\u00a0 Here’s the numbers.\u00a0 This one is pretty early in the run when they stopped putting the whole engine number on the build plate.\u00a0 I wonder why they stopped?\u00a0 Too many mis-stamps?\u00a0 Labor saving?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>It’s not a bad car.\u00a0 I’d like to see the rust repair in the floor and some underside shots.\u00a0 Starting at $8000 is reasonable, reserve is probably close to $20K, and whether it’s worth this depends on those underside shots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
