Giulia 1600 Sprint 10112*356053<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong> This last of the breed Sprint is on eBay now<\/a> out of New England.\u00a0 Looks like a decent car that was pulled from harms way just in the nick of time back in the late 60’s.\u00a0 It has rust – the kind that finds little areas of unprotected metal and works outward – rather than the west coast sort that focuses on areas with standing water or where water is trapped between carpet and metal. It does require some welding, but I think if stripped, it would be a puzzling collection of rusty patches, and not nearly so bad as your typical 1600 Spider barn find of the same era.<\/p>\n

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

You are tempted to say it looks like a reasonable car, and it is.\u00a0 But someone has gone through the trouble of getting house paint matched to the existing orangey red and painted over the bare metal.\u00a0 Maybe it’s special rust inhibiting stuff, but I doubt it.\u00a0 Doesn’t look half bad in any case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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

Looks to have been a totally un-runned-into example with very straight coachwork before that big hole in the rocker happened.\u00a0 Kind of a pick your poison situation.\u00a0 Again, not really as bad as it could be, but, some work no doubt.\u00a0 I think I’d ignore the rust and make it run.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

This is looking back along the passenger side inside of rocker.\u00a0 With those gaping holes in the rocker you’d expect this area to be gone or at least scary.\u00a0 Not so.\u00a0 It will need attention, the level of which, depends on you the restorer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Gauges will clean up.\u00a0 Odd to have the black door panels and red other stuff.\u00a0 Good documentation of an as-found example.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Never seen one of these accessory ‘back seats for the legless’ in a late Sprint.\u00a0 Interesting.\u00a0 Again, odd color combo going on here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

The fulcrum of the deal, and not really exciting.\u00a0 Know how to weld?<\/strong>\u00a0 I guess it’s a good thing that these late Sprints seem to be pretty sought after.\u00a0 The rust chased this car up and down the east coasts famously salted roads for years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Not bad at all as far as Sprint trunks goes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Original Romablock clamps on original Pirelli hoses, with the original accordion upper radiator hose.\u00a0 I’m guessing it’s going to be pretty original in here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>$8500 already with most of an eBay run ahead of it.\u00a0 There’s almost a 10 to 1 ratio between project Sprints and Spiders on eBay, so why not.<\/p>\n
